英语四级阅读做到以下几点能得高分
英语四级阅读理解部分包括1篇长篇阅读和3篇仔细阅读，测试大家在不同层面上的阅读理解能力，包括理解篇章或段落的主旨大意和重要细节、综合分析、推测判断以及根据上下文推测词义等能力。该部分所占分值比例为35%，其中长篇阅读占10%，仔细阅读占25%。考试时间40分钟。阅读答题能力提高了，得分也自然就会上去，那么现在看看如何提高这部分的分数：
一、段落信息匹配题
1. 先看题目后看文章。尽管信息匹配题在考细节，但是题干涉及的细节信息往往反映文章的主旨或段落主题，所以，通过快速浏览题干中的若干条细节信息，考生可以迅速把握文章的主旨，从而能够在回头阅读原文时加快定位速度，节省阅读时间。
2. 先易后难，步步为营。采用由易到难的解题策略，可以提升考生的解题信心。巨微英语建议，对于那些能迅速找出定位信息返回的句子，考生不妨先做。而对于答题线索较少的题目，考生可留在最后再解答。更为详细的解答技巧可以看巨微《四级真题逐句精解》中的阅读满分兵法小册子。
二、选词填空
1. 英语四级阅读时精读文章开头部分文字，尤其是第一句，确定本文主题。文章主旨的确定对于篇章语境的整体把握意义重大。
2. 确定各单词的基本词性。这里所说的基本词性是指该单词最常见的词性。例如，turn一般作动词，但在动词短语at the turn of the century中，它也可以用作名词。不过，其最常用的情况是作动词，那么我们就把其归于动词类。如果做题时，我们发现空格处在一个介词后面，而介词后面是宾语，即介词后面应该是名词，若其它名词不能与之搭配，我们再考虑像turn这样既能用作动词又能用作名词的单词。
3. 设定词性类别：名，动，形，副，现在分词。本次考试与历年考试一致，所涉及的词性类别只局限于上述五类，四级考试该题型中，从未涉及指代词，介词，定冠词等虚词的填写。
4. 按照各单词的基本词性将15个单词逐一分别归类。
5. 根据基本的句法常识和逻辑意义进行填写。填写时，注意，上下文是否合乎语法，句子内部各成分间的搭配是否逻辑，句子与句子之间是否连贯一致。
三、深度阅读
英语四级阅读中需要深度阅读，总体上可以划分为主旨类题目和细节类题目。巨微英语研究发现，从05年开始，主旨类题目的比重大幅下降，细节题已然成为主流。
1. 一切以立足原文为基准。
2. 以文章信息为主导来选择一个原文表述一致的信息或者是同义改写的信息，以提高选项的正确率。
3. 务必确定答案所在位置.题干和答案紧密结合，构成一个独立完整不可分割的意义单位。我们在找答案的时候，绝对不能脱离题干。
4. 服从主旨原则。此处所谈的主旨包括段落主旨和全文主旨。把握文章主题，是正确快捷的解决阅读中的难题，取得阅读高分的基本前提。
5. 熟悉错误选项的设置方式，谨防干扰。
(1) 颠倒黑白。即选项和原文的基本观点或者事实相反，原文说西，选项说东，原文说坏，选项说好。
(2) 无中生有。即选项的内容在原文中根本就不存在。
(3) 张冠李戴：即原文说甲事物具有某特征，选项却张冠李戴。
总结：改革后的英语四级阅读题型设置中，变化最大的就是段落信息匹配题部分。与传统快速阅读相比，题目难度总体略高，但还是“换汤不换药”。实际上，一些传统的阅读技巧和能力依然是目前阅读考察的核心所在。
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。以下几个答题技巧来自巨微英语《四级真题逐句精解》的阅读满分兵法的一小部分内容的总结：CET-4样卷原文中有这样一段：
There are two ways to bury trash:
Dump — an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most people’s idea of a landfill!)
Landfill— carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil.
Sanitary landfill — landfill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment
Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill —landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment 文章是对Dump和Landfill分别做了一个解释，这些就应该是考生略读的地方。
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。
[例2] The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S. roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).
[题目] In spite of safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of other American roads.
[解析] 从题干中的关键信息短语 the death rate on interstate highway 可采取寻读法找到最后一句话为原文出处。原文中明确指出高速公路上的死亡率只是其他公路的一半(half that of…)与题干中的 is still high than(仍高出)相矛盾，可判断此句话错误。
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
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 decompose quickly.
[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 decompose quickly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
长篇阅读部分
长篇阅读部分采用1篇较长篇幅的文章，总长度四级约1000词，阅读速度约每分钟100词，篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。
1.把整组题全部一次性吃透，然后去原文从头到尾定位。否则若按照顺序逐题解答，时间会严重不足，最好是文章一遍看下来，能找到所有的信息。
2.吃透”题干准确判断关键词（中心词）至关重要。
3.采用由易到难的解题策略，可以提升考生的解题信心。对于那些答题线索较少的题干细节信息，可留在最后再解答。在解答这类较难的题目时，可快速阅读原文中仍未选过的段落的主题句（通常为第一句、第二句或最后一句），然后根据段落大意与题干中的细节信息进行匹配。
仔细阅读
仔细阅读也是我们常说的英语四级阅读中的传统阅读，总共考察3篇文章。
2篇为多项选择题型的短文理解测试，每篇长度为300-350词，1篇为选词填空，篇章长度为200-250词，
仔细阅读主要包涵三个题型，细节题、段落题及全文题，巨微英语土豪金送的小册子解析了各类题型的技巧，主要跟大家说说细节题的做题原则：
1.局限定位：在做题时一定要找准题干定位词，定位至句找出答案。
2.三句原则：如果在定位句中找不出答案，在定位句前后找找，一般答案不会出这三句。
3.正确选项优先
具体阅读题的方法：
一、提高阅读速度。传统的方法有三种：
1、先看文章后作题。用这种方法应注意三点：
（1）注意文章中心与作者基本观点，即抓大的放小的。
（2）注意重要细节。第一遍阅读时在了解主题之后知道某个东西在哪里，胜过你知道他是什么。
（3）阅读速度要快。不能过分纠结，速度要尽量快。
2、先看问题再读文章，一般适用以下这几种情况：
（1）难度较大的文章。
（2）只包含一两段的流水账文章。流水账文章段落少层次感较差，可以先看题目看清问题，确定大概的位置。
（3）细节题较多的文章。缺点：对主题把握不够明确。
3、读一层意思做一道题，读文章做题交叉进行。这种方法适用于：
（1）段落较多的文章。
（2）阅读速度较慢的同学。但须注意三点：每次阅读一小段或者一长段的一半；阅读速度比第一种阅读方法要稍慢一些，力求弄清本段意思；每次读新的内容之前，最好把接下来要回答的问题要先看一下；每篇文章控制在9分钟，读原文5分钟，做题4分钟。
二、根据目前四级考试情况总结的英语阅读方法和做题方法概括为四句话：
1、扫读题干关键词
2、浏览原文作标记
3、比较选项得答案
4、迅速排除省力气
其中核心是浏览原文作标记，需要标记的地方一般是：
（1）指示性的具体信息如时间、人物、数字等；
（2）与文章结构有关的中心信息。
三、平时注意培养自己良好的阅读习惯：
1、不要逐词指读，要学会按照意群来读；
2、不要出声阅读，这样能够提高阅读速度；
3、阅读不宜泛，不宜杂；应以四级真题为主，看一本巨微英语的《四级真题逐句精解》就够了：逐词逐句精解词汇和语法，完全能够满足精读需要。
4、坚持每天阅读，争取由量变达到质变。
细节题解题方法
做题方法：做好细节题，首先是要在原文找到相关信息。正是由于这点，我们看文章需要目的。建议大家先看题干再看文章，这样就会有方向感，目的感。所以，细节题的重要做题方法就是：先看题干，再看原文，带着题干个别的特有信息或者带着题干的中心话题在原文定位。
1.细节题注意点
●英语四级阅读细节题干有时会有比较明显的信息，如时间数字，专有名词，中心名词。
●做细节题时，要注意合理但不正确的选项。很多人在做题时，忽视了题目与原文的联系，凭着合理性的主观猜想选择答案。结果很多人感觉做得很好，但对答案时发现错了很多。
●很多表示程度、范围、频率等的副词或形容词可能会导致选项错误，如2002年1月考题出现一个干扰选项是“keep in constant touch with the computer center”，其中的constant就是选项错误的关键。所以，细节题要求大家要非常细心。
[四六级] 不得不看：英语四级考试快速阅读 解题步骤 作者：潇如风 我这篇帖子，同学们照着一步一步做就是了，老师们照着一步一步教就是了。 首先要明白：快速阅读的文章虽长（1200字，仔细阅读平均每篇330个字），但是从内容上说，大都是通俗易懂的说明文，没有学术色彩和思想深度；从语言上来说，遣词造句都比较简单。所以，根本没必要害怕。个人以为，快速阅读应该比仔细阅读更容易拿分。 具体答题步骤如下： 第一步：浏览Skim ( 0。5分钟–2分钟) 1．分析大标题（Brainstorm the Title）（5 –10秒）目的：调动脑细胞，主动预测文章内容。 官方样题Landfills 的分析思路：land + fill = 土地填埋，加了s, 可能指多处填埋场地。在不认识这个单词的情况下（汉译：垃圾填筑地），能想到这一层就算漂亮。 2006年12月真题Six Secrets of High-Energy People的分析思路：secrets：多数人不知道，一定新颖有趣；high-energy people 只能是指精力充沛的人，不可能是X战警。文章要告诉我们，那些人
为什么精力充沛，希望我们学习他们的秘诀。 2006年6月真题Highways的分析思路：为什么要修建公路？怎么修建？公路有哪些功能？存在哪些问题？一般说明文的写作结构都是如此：计划–成形–功能–问题。例如：联合国的起因–联合国的成立–联合国的运作–联合国的问题。 2．分析小标题(Tidy the Subtitles）(20 –25秒) 目的：了解文章内容，把握总体结构。 官方样题： Sub 1：How Much Trash Is Generated? 一看该段字数少，忽视 Sub 2：How Is Trash Disposed of? 关键字：处理 Sub 3：What Is a Landfill? 引进主题，字数增加，进入重点。推理：landfill 肯定是上面提到的一种垃圾处理方法 Sub 4：Proposing the Landfill Landfill由新信息变成已知信息。关键字：Proposing 计划、建议 Sub 5：Building the Landfill 关键字：Building 修建 注意：前一段讲计划，这一段讲修建，联系紧密，可以合并 Sub 6：What happens to Trash in a Landfill? 关键字：What happens；字数少，忽视 Sub 7：How Is a Landfill Operated? 关键字：Operated 如何
阅读理解 Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them. Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief. “No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life. As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships. Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection. 57.The second paragraph implies that . [A]teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems [B]a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionship [C]human beings need companionship and a sense of belonging

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

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities,which we can apply on a daily goals can be achieved in a week or less,or two weeks,or possible should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term completing our short-term goals,we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals bukld on the foundation of the short-range might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,or they could even extend for several time you move a step at a time,you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step,you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow adn as your list of completion dates grow,your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more.

What is Integrity? "Integrity" is defined as "adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty."The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, r esponsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when m aking life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disap pointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships w ith others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then explorin g ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsi ble choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may
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

大学英语四级阅读理解试题 Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,and even snowblindness,when exposed to several hours of "snow light" . 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. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obsured,and the result is total, even though temporary,snowblindness.

英语四级真题快速阅读题 Small Schools Rising This years list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing. Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress. Size isnt everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has
全国英语四级考试方法和技巧（实用篇） 一．听力 1．短对话 ①.答案往往在后半人的话语中（带有转折词、原因词、总结性的 ），重点也会引申推出选项答案。 ②.从答案选项中推敲，往往关键词听到与材料一致的， 很可能是陷阱（答案往往是总结、规纳性、替换词、意思一致性） ③.场景考点（每年必考），即听关键词（材料中心词往往对应于相应的 场合）比如，看电影想到影剧院，吃、点菜想到餐馆，时间飞机定票等 想到机场更多得自己不断总结此类关键词。 以后便能条件反射迅速选出答案 总结：听懂抓住重点部分信息，关键中心词必须会把握（语气、转折性 、总结性词等后为主），答案以同义词转换 +意思一致，不改变义反映。切忌无中生有，凭主观来选择。 实在是没听懂或没把握住意思和中心词，看选项来确定（同词不选， 与对话内容无关不选，意思和其他完全不一致排除，带大写性关键词 独一的也不选） 更多在于根据真题总结，以上尽为参考和练习 (充分利用时间提前看题为之重要 ) 2．短文 正题：听到什么与选项对应，意思不变情况下往往是答案 此类型关键就是一个能听及时，准确，把握此特点那听到什么与选项 一致就是答案；另一点误区选项意思与文章无关、无中生有、作者主 观臆断、某一选项与其他选项无关、相差太大往往是误区项；还有一 点题目是按照文章顺序来的，答案也往往顺着题目来的。 总结重点：关键性、重点和中心词必须听到，听之前各选项一定有所 了解，确定中心词并带着它有针对性去听文章。更多在于自己的总结 ，以上仅为参考和供练习。 3 填词 听之前有所了解文章大意， 第一遍听把单一性词填个大概并写点第一句关键意思和单词 ;第二遍完全填满单词并附带着写下第一长句， 确定和大概写出第二、三句长句关键词 ; 第三遍校对单词，并尽量补满长句。 更多在于自己的总结和听写的练习。 二．仔细阅读 1. 做之前花一、二分钟了解大意思（必要） CET4知识点
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.
