大学英语四级考试快速阅读技巧

一.测试目的

快速阅读,顾名思义,它的目的在于测试考生单位时间当中的阅

读量,其实四级对速度的考查是近几年一直延续的一种结果。同时,

在解答题目方面,快速阅读并不强调一定要像精读文章那样通篇认真

研究,相反,快速阅读题目更强调测试考生在实践语言环境中查询有

效信息的能力,这也反映出四六级考试试图提升考生实际应用能力的

改革方向。

二.测试形式

快速阅读要求考生在15 分钟内完成一篇1100字左右的文章和后面的 10 道题。前面 7 个题是判断正误(包括NG),后 3 个是填空题填根据阅读的理解,填三到四个单词( 答案基本都是原文中出现的原

词)。快速阅读的文章一般分为小标题+题目和无小标题+题目两种类型。该题型需要通过略读和寻读法,乃至文章逻辑关系、标点符号等方面的综合运用,实现对随后的题目有效的判断和填写。

三.基本要求

1. 快速阅读的文章基本都是专业题材的文章,很多考生可能会觉得

很陌生,但是对于 CET-4 的快速阅读开始来说,只要求考生

对题目所提到的信息在原文中能够找到即可,只是有时需要简

单的同义词替换。

2. 略读( Skimming)和寻读( Scanning

)的能力在大学英语四级考试中显得尤为重要。

3. 快速阅读要求考生的阅读速度是每分钟 110-140 词。

四.快速阅读方法

1.推测(prediction)

阅读正文前,就标题(如果有标题的话)来合理推测资料的

大概内容,也可在读了一段之后预测下段内容。这对快速理解和

整体把握文章内容以及推测出生词的词义范围有积极的意义。

2.读关键词句(key words and topic sentences)

在对文章的整体内容有了基本认识的基础上,我们学会抓主

要的词句,找出段落中的主题句,从而正确领会文章的主要内容。3.略读(skimming)

略读又称跳读 (reading and skipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。

所谓略读,是指以尽可能快的速度阅读,如同从飞机上鸟瞰(bird ’s eye view ) 地面上的明显标志一样,迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。换句话说,略读是要求读者有选择地进行阅读,可跳过某些细节,以求抓住文章的大概,从而加快阅读速度。据统计,训练有素的略读者(skimmer) 的阅读速度可以达到每分钟 3000 到 4000 个词。

一般阅读的目标是在保持一般阅读速度的条件下,获得尽可能高的理解水平,通常达到70%或 80%。略读时,理解水平略低一些是预料之中的事,平均理解率达50%或 60%就可以了。A、略读有下列四个特点:

(1) 以极快的速度阅读大量材料,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信

息和少量的阐述信息。

(2) 可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。

(3) 理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。

(4) 根据文章的难易程度和达到的目的,不断灵活地调整阅读速度。

B、略读可以运用下列技巧:

(1) 要利用印刷细节 (typegraphical details),如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等,对书

和文章进行预测略读 (preview skimming)。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式 ( 模式 ) ,以便把握大意,有关的细节及其相互关系。

(2) 以一般阅读速度 (200 ~ 250w/m),阅读文章开头的首段、

结尾段,力求抓住文章大意、背景情况、作者的文章风格、口吻或语气等。

(3) 阅读段落的主题句和结论句。

抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意,然后略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。

(4) 注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however, moreover, in a ddition 等;序列词firstly, secondly 等。

4.(Scanning)

寻读又称查读,同略读一样,寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。

熟练的读者善于运用寻读获得具体信息,以提高阅读效率。

寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息,如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等,而对其它无关部分则略去不读的快速阅读方法。运用这种方法,

读者就能在最短的时间内掠过尽可能多的印刷材料,

找到所需要的信息。例如,在车站寻找某次列车或汽车的运行时刻,在机场寻找某次班机的飞行时刻,在图书馆查找书刊的目录,

在文献中查找某一日期、名字、数字或号码等,都可以运用这种方法。

作为一种快速寻找信息的阅读技巧,寻读既要求速度,又要求寻

读的准确性。具体地说,寻读带有明确的目的性,有针对性地选择问题的答案。因此,可以把整段整段的文字直接映入大脑,不必字字句句过目。视线在印刷材料上掠过时,一旦发现有关的内容,

就要稍作停留,将它记住或摘下,既保证寻读的速度,又做到准确无误,所以

寻读技巧也很有实用价值。寻读与略读不同。略读时,读者事先对材料一无所知,而寻读则是读者对材料有所了解的情况下进行的。

为了有效地进行寻读,读者应运用下列技巧:

(1) 利用材料的编排形式。大多数资料是按字母顺序、年代、时间等某种逻辑方法排列的。例如,要知道某事是何时发生的,

要查日期;某事是谁做的,要查人名等。

(2) 利用章节标题和说明。寻读之后,首先看看文章标题或章节

标题,确定文章是否包含自己所需要的材料,或者哪一部分包含哪些材料,这样可以直接翻到那个部分,进行寻找。 (3)

抓提示词。读者找到包含所需信息的章节,

准备寻读。这时,要留心与那个具体信息有关的提示词。

例如,在报纸体育运动版上寻找某田径运动员的某项运动成绩,他的国名是提示词。

以上就是几种练习快速阅读的方法介绍,其实这些方法我们在平

常的生活和学习中都曾用到过,只是我们没有意识到而已,而一旦把它们作为方法单独挑选出来,然后按照其要求坚持练习,就会取得很好的效果。这也说明了在我们身边就有很多途径可以提高阅读速度,

关键还要看你怎样去挖掘这些方法了。

五. 怎样培养快速阅读能力

1. 快速泛读( fast extensive reading)

平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。

这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍,

要求读得快,理解和掌握书中的主要内容就可以了。要确定一个明确的读书定额,定额要结合自己的实际,切实可行,可多可少。例如每天读20 页,一个学期以 18 周计算,就可以读 21 本中等厚度的书 ( 每本书约120 页) 。

2. 计时阅读 (timed reading)

课余要养成计时阅读的习惯。计时阅读每次进行 5~10 分钟即可,不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读,

精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳、

精力分散,反而乏味。阅读时先记下“起读时间” (starting time)

,阅读完毕,记下“止读时间” (finishing time)

,即可计算出本次阅读速度。随手记下,长期坚持,必定收到明显效果。

3.速度变换(Reading rate)

我们要意识到阅读的速度是不均匀的。也就是说,即使同一

个人阅读同一份材料,但由于阅读是一种有相当心理负荷的脑力

劳动,因此在开始、中途和结束时的速度不可能一样。读物的体

裁和难度不一样,阅读的速度也不同。我们不要过分焦虑自己的

阅读速度,以免造成不必要的心理压力。随着速度的提高,理解

的程度都有所降低,所以我们应认识到阅读文章时的速度是可以

调节的,只有合适的速度才可能获得快速准确的阅读效率。

4. 培养正确的阅读习惯

读外文书籍要做到“一目十行”。

(1)视幅要宽

每一眼看的词要尽量的多。我们阅读表面是用眼睛看,实际是用脑子读,眼睛只是起了照相机镜头的作用。

努力使自己的眼睛变成“广角镜”,把尽可能多的词能一眼“尽收眼底”。

(2)视时要短

第一眼和第二眼之间停顿的间隙要尽量短。我们阅读时,若视幅相同

,谁的停顿时间短,谁就能读得快。

(3)意群要长

在每个视幅中不是让你把很多的单词都收进脑子,而是要善于从中摄取

有意义的词组,这个有意义的词组就是意群。

极慢的读者是一个字一个字地读,视幅就很窄,句子中间的停顿就多,而频繁的停顿必然妨碍正常的理解。快速阅读者是半句或一句句地

读。视幅大大加宽,停顿的间隙少而短,获取的都是有意义的词组,

因而理解全句或全段就能做到水到渠成。

5. 克服不正确的阅读习惯

从主观上要能克服注意力容易分散即所谓“思想开小差”的

毛病,高度集中自己的注意力;从客观上克服各种无意中形成或

由来以久的坏习惯,如摇头晃脑,抖动双腿,玩弄纸笔,念念有

词等。这些“小动作”,也会分散注意力、影响思考,降低阅读

速度。

英语快速阅读的培养不可能一天就学会和掌握,必须有一个循序渐进的过程。本文的出发点在于平时学习过程中的培养和训练,才能在考试过程中发挥得淋漓尽致,达到满意的效果。因此,在日常学习中,要有意识地按照精英特快速阅读的要求进行大量的训练,制定出计划和严格的要求,一步一个脚印地进行。只要持之以恒,必然会见效。

快速阅读解题技巧答题技

巧一:详略得当

对于大学英语四级快速阅读测试来说,

根据题目的“题眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最关键的,这样我们就

要在阅读时注意详略得

当。克服精读精益求精的习惯,做到有信息处精读,无信息处略读,略读处一扫而过。对所要解释或证明的观点的细节举例处或者通常有数个名词的并列项,它们不是完整的主谓宾的句子,因此无法与问题

对应的详细列举处,都可以略读。那么题目中数字、人名等信息(题眼)在原文中对应的部分必须详读。

答题技巧二:显性信息

查读的信息通常是显性信息,只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位

就能得到正确答案,一般不需要做推理。

特别提示:考生对于以下一些显性信息也应注意

(1) 表示因果关系的词或词组: because, reason, due to, since,

so that, therefore等

(2) 表示目的关系的词或词组: in order to, so as to, by 等

(3) 表示转折关系的词或词组: but, however, yet 等

(4) 表示对比关系的词或词组: contrary to, unlike, like 等

答题技巧三:题文同序

大学英语四级考试的快速阅读部分,问题顺序与原文顺序一致

(有时判断题和填空题交汇处顺序不一致),这就要求考生应该按照题目的顺序依次做题。对于所有的四级快速阅读文章这个技巧都适

用,在此就不做特别举例

答题技巧四:分解对应

分解对应四分法(快速阅读的解题核心):快速将问题分解成 4 个部分(主 A 谓 B 宾 C+其他 D),与原文进行对比。

[ 例 3] A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decomposequickly.

[ 题目 ] Landfills are like compost piles in that they speed

up decomposition of the buried trash.

[ 解析 ]我们可以将题目简单划分句子成分:主语为Landfills,谓语为 are ,宾语为 like compost piles ,speed up decomposition of the buried trash.与原文bury trash in such a way that it will decomposequickly 相对应,这样我们就很容易的看到题目 Landfills are like compost piles ,可是原文中却是 A landfill is not like

a compost pile,很明显我们就可以得到正确答案,故答案为N 答题技巧五:一段一题、长段两题、平均分配

大学英语四级考试的快速阅读的出题方式一般都为一段出一题、

长段出两题,遵循平均分配题目所在位置的原则,在此也不做特别举例。

答题技巧六:选小不选大

四级快速阅读中,问题的范围必须小于原文范围,反之则判定为错N

[ 例 4] In the United States, landfills are local government taking care of trash

responsibilities

and

building .

[ 题目 ] In the United States the building of landfills is

the job of both federal and local governments.

[ 解析 ]原文明白无误地告诉考生“清理垃圾以及建造清埋场是由当地政府负责的”。据此可断定,该论断不准确,答案为N。

在此特别提示考生,如果题目中所表述的内容与原文明显不符、矛盾或相反,可判断为N

确定为 N的情况:

(1) 题目中的信息与原文内容相反

(2) 题目将原文的意思张冠李戴

(3) 将原文中的不确定因素转化为确定因素

(4) 改变原文中的条件、范围等

答题技巧七:两段判定(判断 NG最好方法)

在四级快速阅读中,如果上一题已经确定了在原文中的位置,

读过两段后仍无下一题所需信息,则可以判定该题为

NG,而不用通读全文。

答题技巧八:主宾判定

四级快速阅读中,将题干的句子进行简单分解后,

问题中的主语、宾语在原文未出现或被偷换概念是,判定为 NG

确定为 NG的情况:

(1) 题目中的表述无中生有

(2) 原文中作者的目的、意图、愿望等内容在题目中作为客观事实陈述

(3) 将原文中的特殊情况推广为普遍现象

(4) 将原文的内容具体化

(5) 随意比较原文中的两个事物

答题技巧九:相关信息准确合并

快速阅读文章中有时可能会问到所面临的问题是什么?某事情

的原因是什么?等等,这样的问题在文中可能是在不同的位置都有表述,所以考生遇到这样的问题时,不能只局限在某一段里面找答案,

可以先做后面的题目,在后面的阅读中发现还有该题的答案时,将相关信息合并后再确定答案。

大学英语四级答题技巧汇总

大学英语四级答题技巧汇总 快速阅读技巧(第一篇) 15分钟做完,先看小标题(先只看2-3个,多了也记不住),再通过1-7小题的题干的名词、动词找出原句来做, 特别注意: 做题顺序,先看文章标题,直到文章主要内容,然后看第一小题,在小题部分的定位词先圈出来,再回原文找。找到第一小题后,再看第二小题。看一个题,做一个;不要把文章看完再做题,或题看完再读文章。 特别注意:比较容易定位的词是: A.不能用中心思想词定位,因为整篇文章都说的是它。 B.时间、数字、地点、大写字母的单词容易定位。 C.比较长,难的名词容易定位,好找。 D.定位词找2-3个就行,多了也记不住。最好是位置不同的两个词。 一般判断N和NG的标准如下: NO题: (l)信息与原文相反(2)将原文信息张冠李戴 (3)将原文中不确定的或未经证实的内容作为正确的或客观的来表述 (4)改变原文的条件、范围、频率、可能性等 NG题: (l)无中生有(2)以个别代替整体,即将原文所举例子的特殊现象推广为普遍现象 (3)随意比较原文中提到的两个事物(4)将原文具体化,即题目中涉及的范围小于原文涉及的范围 (5)原文中作者或某个人物的目标、目的、愿望、誓言等内容,在题目中作为客观事实陈述 快速阅读技巧(第二篇) 解决办法:掌握正确的阅读方法 考生平时阅读一般会采取两种阅读方法。一种是先看文章后看问题;另一种是先看问题,带着问题读文章。那么究竟哪一种方法比较好呢?笔者认为还是先看问题后读文章比较好。原因在于,先看问题,你可以熟悉出题人的出题角度。并且有题干,你可以划出题干的关键词,先看问题后刊文章的好处就在于,可以通过问题先把上述“核心词”在原文中划出,然后再读文章的过程中,一旦独到,注意历史高度集中的,这样有助于提高做题的准确性。由此得出正确的阅读方法就是“五步阅读法”: 第一步,扫描题干抓关键。 即首先看选项,划出题干中的的关键词。题干关键词包括:数字、人名地名、专有名词、引号里的词语等等。 第二步,快速浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意标重点。 即快速浏览文章。在快速浏览文章的时候,不需要每一个单词和句子都读得懂,没有时间也没有这个必要。在第二步的过程中,考生们所要做的就是首先弄清楚这篇文章的中心思想是什么;其次,用笔在试卷上面标记出考试要考的重点。那么很多考生就会问,如何把握文章的主旨大意,如何标记文章的重点呢? 首先,把握文章的主旨大意。 要解决这个问题,需要分两步走。第一步,仔细阅读文章的首末段的首末句。因为英语文章段落结构上面我已经讲过。此外,西方人说话向来喜欢开门见山。所以英语文章段落70%都是一上来交待作者的写作目的或意图。第二步,要仔细阅读其他个段落的首句。然后把这两步综合起来,英语文章的主旨大意就可以把握住。其次,如何标注文章的重点。 英语文章的重点主要有以下几点: 1.强转折:通常由“but, yet, however”引导。因为转折的作用一般来说是对前面的否定,对后面的肯定,因此转折词后面引导的成分往往是出题人容易出题的地方。特别是在文章中出现but。

2020年大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

大学英语四级阅读理解(1)We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be

Media Selection for Advertisements After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail. Television Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案(四) 十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller

The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow- covered , a man's eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache.
