10、和人物活动等主要线索；如果是议论文，就要弄清文章的中心论点以及论述内容）。略读完成后就去看题干，略读完成后就去看题干，这时有关文章主旨大意题已经有了答案，而对细节题要根据题目的具体要求而对细节题要根据题目的具体要求回到文章中再进行快速扫读回到文章中再进行快速扫读以找到相应的信息。【真题示例】（2009）Nowadays,a cellphone service is available to everyone,everywhere.Probably thousands of people have already been using it,but I just discovered it,so

11、 Im going to claim it and also name it:Fake Foning.The technology has been working well for me at the office,but there are infinite applications.Virtually in any public space.Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about.Now,say you need to use the restroom.The tr

12、ip down the hall will take approximately one hour,because a person cant walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question,a bit of gossip,a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.So,a cellphone.Any cellphone.Just pick it up.Dont dial.Just hold that phone to your face and

13、start talking.Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation,making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.For standard colleague avoidance,I suggest fake chatting about fake business:“Yes,Im glad you called,because we re

14、ally need to hammer out the details.Whats that?Yes,I read Page 12,but if you look at the bottom of 4,I think you can see the problem begins right there.”Be animated.Be engaged in your fake fone conversation.Make eye contact with the people passing,nod to them,gesture keen interest in talking to them

15、 at a later time,point to your phone,shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching(用手捏)unripe peaches.Without your phone at your face,youd be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution ab

16、out fake foning.The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague,and he was actually following me to get my attention.I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished.I was trying to buy myself some time,so I continued fake foning with my doctor.“So I dont need the operation?Oh,

17、doctor,that is the best news.”And then:Brrrrrrng!Brrrrrmg!Brrrrrmg!My phone started ringing,right there while it was planted on my face.My colleague looked at me,and I at him,and naturally I gasped.“What is the matter with this thing?”I said,pulling the phone away to look at it,and then putting it b

18、ack to my ear.“Hello?Are you still there?”Oops.86.What is fake foning?A.A strategy to avoid people.B.A device newly produced.C.A service provided everywhere.D.A skill of communication.2.2.扫读定位，获得信息扫读定位，获得信息 扫读（scanning）的目的是为了尽快找到所需的特定细节。在对文章进行了略读后，把握了文章大意和结构，然后根据题目要求和段首或段尾的题头句，确定所需细节的位置，找到答案。这种方法一般可

19、应用于细节这种方法一般可应用于细节题的查找。题的查找。Over the last 25 years,British society has changed a great dealor at least many parts of it have.In some ways,however,very little has changed,particularly where attitudes are concerned.Ideas about social classwhether a person is“working class”or“middle class”are one area i

20、n which changes have been extremely slow.In the past,the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people,such as teachers and doctors.As a result of this and also of the fact that workers jobs were generally much less secure,distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into e

21、xistence.86.Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A.Life style and occupation.B.Attitude and income.C.Income and job security.D.Job security and hobbies.3.3.回查难点，确定答案回查难点，确定答案 回查指考生在时间允许的情况下，对于把握不大或较难的试题（如推理分析题和观点态度题等），将所给出的选项与原文中对应部分进行仔细比较，反复推敲，从而得出结论。考生要尽量避免主

22、观臆断，要考生要尽量避免主观臆断，要在文中找到支持的论据，在文中找到支持的论据，以确保答案准确无误。在检查时，应该从语篇整体上看答案是否符合文章主题、作者态度、意图及文体特征。1.1.主旨大意题主旨大意题 主旨大意题主要考查学生在阅读中对文章中心思想、作品的基调以及文章大意的理解和掌握情况。What is this passage mainly(primarily)concerned with?What does the passage mainly discuss?Which is the main idea(subject)of this passage?What is the main

23、topic of the passage?The passage mainly deals with _六、阅读理解的试题题型分类及解题技巧六、阅读理解的试题题型分类及解题技巧【应对策略】主旨大意题有关整个文章的中心思想，需要宏观把握。拿到一篇文章，先快速浏览文章的开头、结尾及段落的首句和尾句。英语文章大多呈直线走向，所以很多文章的中心思想会出现在文章的开头或结尾，尤其是议论文和说明文；同样，有85%的段落大意会在每一段首句或尾句，15%可能会出现在段落中间。为了快速得出答案，可用排除法来做。迅速找出某些选项的漏洞或者不确切的地方，缩小选择范围，最后选定答案。确定下列短文的大意：确定下列短文的

24、大意：1.As a rule,most of my dreams at night are pleasant ones.Recently,though,I had a really bad dream.I was in an alley,dressed in light summer clothing.Coming out of the darkness at the end of the alley were hundreds of large gray rats.Their razor-sharp teeth glistened with saliva,and their eyes glo

25、wed red with a cold fury.I turned to run away,but attacking in the other direction were a dozen pit bulls.And these particular pit bulls were foaming at the mouth;they all had rabies.“Just my luck,”I muttered,and did my best to wake up as quickly as possible.确定下列短文的大意：确定下列短文的大意：2.Pain can cause aggr

26、ession.When two rats in the same cage were given foot shocks,they attacked each other immediately.In addition,stronger shocks resulted in more violent aggression.Pairs of various other animals reacted similarly.A stubbed toe or a headache has been known to cause similar responses in humans.确定下列短文的大意

27、：确定下列短文的大意：3.Everyone has heard of accounts,salespeople,and lawyers.But have you ever heard of a kiss mixer or a belly builder?Most jobs have common titles,but there are also many unusual position titles.A kiss mixer,for instance,is the person who mixes the ingredients for candy kisses.And a belly b

28、uilder is the individual who assembles and fits the inside parts of pianos.确定下列短文的大意：确定下列短文的大意：4.A couples daughter had just graduated from college.So they were not surprised when a florists truck pulled in front of their house.However,they were surprised when they saw that the dozen red roses were

29、addressed to them.The card read,“Thanks,Mom and Dad,for making this day possible.I could not have done it without your love and support.”In an unusual switch,the graduate had given her parents a graduation gift.确定下列短文的大意：确定下列短文的大意：5.Dental research on rats may lead to chocolate thats good for you.In

30、 one study,researchers found that rats who ate chocolate candy high in fat and casein got 71 percent fewer cavities than those who ate sugar or fudge alone.In a follow up study,rats were fed chocolate candy that had an even greater amount of casein,a milk protein.The rats then got almost no cavities

31、 at all.Because of this research,one company may develop a chocolate candy thats healthy for your teeth.确定下列短文的大意：确定下列短文的大意：6.One odd suggestion for curing hiccups is to cut some holes in a paper bag,put the bag over your head,and breathe deeply.Another is to put a teaspoon of sugar on your tongue;b

32、y the time the sugar has disappeared,some claim,so have the hiccups.Some people feel that the way to get rid of hiccups is to cover a glass of water with a clean handkerchief and then drink the water through the hankie.If none of these methods works,you might try yet another odd cure for hiccups:sta

33、nd on your head,close your eyes tightly,take a deep breath,and recite“Mary Had a Little Lamb.”2.2.细节理解题细节理解题 历年来的专四阅读理解试题中细节题占比例较大。细节题是对文章的理解而言的，题目形式通常表现为正选和反选两种。正选就是要求选出符合文章内容的选项，其他三项都不符合文章意思或推断不出来；而反选则是选出与文章内容不相符的一项，其他三项都符合文章意思。纵观历年考题，反选题比例更高些。【真题示例】2006年 For several days I saw little of Mr.Roches

34、ter.In the morning he seemed much occupied with business,and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him.When his foot was well enough,he rode out a great deal.During this time,all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the hous

35、e,when he would sometimes pass me coldly,and sometimes bow and smile.His changes of manner did not offend me,because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.91.At the beginning Miss Eyres impressions of Mr.Rochester were all EXCEPT _.A.busy B.sociable C.friendly D.changeable3.3.分析推理题分析

36、推理题 在许多文章中，作者的意图或态度会隐含在字里行间，这就要求学生综合文章中的线索，以文章表面文字信息为依据进行分析、推理、判断和检验，理解文章的深层意义。对考生来讲，推理题是具有一定难度的题目，考查的不仅是考生对文章的理解能力，还有考生的逻辑思维能力和对各种知识的综合运用能力。在解题时，仅靠捕捉字面信息还是不够的，要把每句话都放到全篇中去考虑以得出综合的判断。该题型常见的提问方式有：(1)题目中使用infer一词，明确要求考生进行推理判断。主动、被动语态均有，如：It can be inferred from the passage that _.(2)题目中用imply一词，要求考生推理

37、得出文章中没有直接表达的内容，也就是含义，如：It is implied in the passage that _.(3)题目中使用conclude 一词，要求考生根据文章内容得到某种推论，这种形式常常要求推断出总体的印象和含义，常为大意题的一种形式，但主要在于推理和得到相应的结论。如：We can conclude from the passage that the author is _.(4)题目中使用suggest 一词，“间接地表示”，如：It suggests that the central problem is relationships between.(5)题目中使用se

38、em一词，要求我们根据所读的印象回答问题，但不能草率地根据模糊的印象就决定选择答案；而必须根据文章中各种线索进行分析推理。如：The passage seems to indicate at the end that children _.(6)题目中用名词impression，这里的“印象”只能通过主观的分析推理得到，如：We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author.(7)题目中用(most)probably,clearly这类词语，表示答案选项为可能的推理，要求学生选出合理的一个，如：The author wa

39、s most probably _.vA twenty eight year old woman named Catherine Genovese was returning home from work one day.Kitty,as she was called by almost everyone in her Queens neighborhood,had just parked her car.Then a man with a knife grabbed her.She screamed,“Oh my God,he stabbed me!Please help me!Please

40、 help me!”For more than half an hour,thirty eight neighbors watched the killer stalk Kitty.The last time he stabbed her,she was slumped on the foot of the stairs to her apartment.Not one person telephoned the police during the fatal attack.Later,the policemen gathered statements from the witnesses.A

41、mong their comments were,“I didnt want to get involved,”“We thought it was a lovers quarrel,”and“I was tired.I went back to bed.”vQ:We can conclude that the man who stabbed Genovese _.A.was someone she knew B.intended to kill her C.was a convicted criminal D.was crazy4.观点态度题观点态度题 在回答态度类问题时，先要把握文章总的基

42、调。在阅读时要注意文章不同层次连接处的信号词，注意文章中语句间的逻辑关系，作者的态度往往会在转折词（but,however,nevertheless,etc.）后面表露；在带有让步状语从句的句子里，作者会在主句中透露自己的倾向。同时，还要注意作者使用的一些感情色彩强烈的词，如：ashamedly,unfortunately,ironically,irrationally等，我们可以从中揣测作者的好恶。还有一种解答态度题的策略是从文章的体裁入手，一般说来，说明文中，作者的态度是客观的（objective）或中立的(neutral)；而在议论文中，作者的观点会表现出不同的倾向，如positive(

43、肯定的)，negative（否定的），optimistic（乐观的），pessimistic（悲观的），critical（批评的），favourable（赞成的），unfavorable（不赞成的），indifferent（漠不关心的），ironical/sarcastic（讽刺的）等等。【真题示例】（2006年）“Dont be afraid of me,Miss Eyre.”He continued.“You dont relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you.Bu

44、t in time you will be more natural with me,and laugh,and speak freely.Youre like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,youll fly very high.Good night.”95At the end of the passage,Mr.Rochester sounded _.A.rude B.cold C.friendly D.encouraging5.5.词汇语义题词汇语义题 词汇语义题主要考查学生对个别单词、短语和句子的理解，有一定难度，通常要求考

45、生通读上下文，综合各方面的知识后做出判断。猜测词义的技巧不外乎两种：上下文语境法和利用词根词缀的构词法。(1)(1)上下文语境法：上下文语境法：利用文中所给的定义、同义词、相关信息、例证、比较等。如：The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure,state and behaviour of the atmosphere.(2)(2)利用构词法猜测词义利用构词法猜测词义：英语中有些复合词、混合词可以结合上下文语境压缩词义的范围，选择一个合理的词义解释。另外，寻找词根也是猜测词义的最佳办法之一，因为词

46、根最能反映一个词的基本意义。最后，辨认单词的前缀和后缀，了解其意义和作用，有助于猜测生词的词义。【注意】词汇语义题还是要把该词放到整个文章中，结合上下文来综合判断或推测该词的意义，需要调动学生的逻辑思维能力和综合判断能力。练习1：Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting.In British alone,about HK 3,000,000s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week.This amounts to some

47、thing like HK 150 million a year,and represents about 4 percent of the shops total stock.As a result of this“shrinkage”as the shops call it,the honest public has to pay higher prices.练习2：The reasons for Disneys success are quite a lot,but ultimately the credit belongs to one person-the man who creat

48、ed the cartoon and built the company from nothing,Walt Disney.Ironically,he could not draw particularly well.But he was a genius in other aspects.In business,his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability.After setting himself up in Hollywood,he single-handedly pioneered the concept

49、s of branding and merchandising-something his company still does brilliantly today.练习3：Socrates method of teaching was to ask questions and,by pretending not to know the answers,to press his students into thinking for themselves.His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy.Yet,for all his fame and influence,Socrates himself never wrote a word.1.The word“unsurpassed”in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A.untold B.unequal C.unnoticed D.unexpectedExercises:see the handouts
