英语六级阅读技巧
经常我们都能从各种各样的参考书上看到以下的技巧，我觉得做夭级的阅读题，这些方法足以提高六级的阅读速度。我想强调的是一定要将这些方法变成自己的能力，只有多练习才可以彻底掌握，否则再多的技巧都是无用的书面语言。
一、略读(skimming)
所谓略读是一种选择阅读法。它有两个特点：第一，它有意地忽略掉一些字词、句子或段落；第二，它有意地不求甚解。例如抓住一段的大意时甚至可以对该段落的一半或者四分之三不予理睬。
略读不是略去某些词不读，而是指不可以逐字逐词阅读。要抓住关键词，阅读句群，把握整体意思。在一个句子里，最关键的莫过于主语、谓语、宾语了，其他的成分都是用来补充主、谓、宾的附加成分，让主、谓、宾看起来更加丰满。使用略读法时，要省去各种细节的知识，如数字、公式、时间、地点、人物年龄等。要注意故事的主要情节，抓住中心意思。在方法上，阅读时可以跳跃某些句子，但要注意关键词、关键段落和问题。当找到了所需要的信息时，要立即停下来。然后，再慢慢地细读包含所需信息的那一行或那一句。
例如：The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the joumalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons；first，it seems likely that most people in modem Western societies are more familiar，at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interviewing than any other form of interviewing. (that从句只是解释fact，it从句列举reasons，只要抓住The fact seems to be surprising for two reasons，这句话的意思就可以把握了。)
遇到难句一定要将主语、渭语、宾语勾画出来，明显地提醒自己这句话的意思是什么。在做完了题目检查时还一定要认认真真地把句子分析清楚，这样才可以提高自己的阅读能力。
二、找出信号词
信号词常用来连接细节或是强调内容，并可完成段落的转换，暗示读者下文要讲的内容，标志出作者要提出一个新的思想或者观点，或者是作者要对所论述的观点举例说明，或者要详细论述同一观点。例如：
To sum up，Aristotle thought that all motions resulted either from the nature of the moving object or from a sustained push or pull．(表明作者要做结论)
There is never only a single force in a situation．For example, in walking across the floor，we push against the
floor, and the floor in turn pushes against us．(举例说明)
In other words, in an economic sense the family was analmost self-sufficient unit．(用不同的表达方法说明同一观点) 常用的主要有：
A．表示递进关系
如：also，besides，further，furthermore，even，too，moreover．in addition，in particular，even more important等。 B．表示时间和顺序
如：before，now，next，first，finally，at first，at last，then，until，soon，later，after，eventually，in the past，afterwards，meanwhile。in the meantime等。
C．表示空间顺序
如：beside，between，beyond，from(…to)，outside，next to，opposite to等。
D．表示下文要引出例子
如：such as, i.e.，for example，for instance，in fact等。 E．表示因果关系
如：because，thus，so，so that，as a result，therefore，consequently, for this(that)reason，hence，accordingly等。
F．表示比较或对比(下文要开始转折)
如：(un)like，similarly，likewise，in the same way，in spite of，despite，on the contrary，by comparison，in contrast，but，however，although，on the other hand，yet，nevertheless，conversely，otherwise等。
G．表示结论和概括意义
如：to conclude，to sum up，in sum，in conclusion．In short，in brief，on the whole等。
在文中遇到此类词汇一定要做标记，考点也常常在这些地方出现。三、找到中心思想
一个句子、一段文章虽然能提供许多信息，但它的中心意思通常只有一个。其它细节都围绕这个意思，说明这个意思。要提高阅读速度有一个最根本的要求，就是要找到并抓住这个中心意思。抓住了中心意思才能正确地理解句子、段落或通篇的基本内容。下面几组词，每一组都有一个中心词：
A．apple fruit orange
B．animal cat dog bird
c．green red yellow color
D．chair table furniture couch
E．nurse profession teacher lawyer
段落的中心意思与句子的中心意思是类似的。一般有两种情况:一种是表明的中心意思，另一种是隐含的中心意思。表明的中心意思常常用一个或几个句子来表示，隐含的中心尽想需要读者用自己的话去概括、归纳整篇或整段的含义。
要想在考试中在阅读理解部分取得高分，首先必须学会寻找中心思想、抓住中心思想，特别是段落的中心思想。主题句的位置比较灵活，有的在段首。有的在段末，有的则居段中，但主题句在段首的比较多。例如：
As the sun went down , the scene from the bridge was beautiful, It had been a perfect day. Up and down on either side of NY the bright blue water lay gently rippling, while to the south it merged into the great bay and disappeared toward the sea. The vast cities spread away on both sides. Beyond rolled the hilly country until it was lost in the mists of the sky. All up and down the harbor the shipping, piers , and buildings were still gaily decorated. On the housetops of both Brooklyn and NY were multitudes of people.
主题句就是第一句。其他的句子只是细节，都是解释、说明第一句的。不论主题句在句首也好，在句末也好，都是用一个完整的句子表达这一段的中心意思的，在这一类的文章中，识别主题句进而抓住中心意思是比较容易的，比较困难的是识别、寻找隐含的中心意思，例如：Tennis is not a difficult game to play , and you do not need a lot of equipment to play it. There must be two or four players. Each player should have a comfortable tennis racket. The players will also need some tennis balls. Of course, it is necessary to have a tennis court.
这一段的中心意思没有用主题句表示出来，而是包含在这一段的上下文中，需要我们用自己的话进行概括、归纳。可以看出，这一段的中心意思应该是：Players need a court，rackets，and tennis balls。四、正确处理阅读中出现的生词，提高阅读速度
个别生词不会影响我们对全文的理解，而且大纲中也允许有3％左右的生词。对有些与答题无关的生词一般可以忽略过去。如果有个别生词影响了对全篇的理解和做题，就需要去猜测词义。在考试中当然是无法求助于字典的，一般可以有两种方法：第一是根据构词法判断词义。这种方法需要认识大量的词根，否则一切猜测都无从谈起；第二种是根据与
上下文的关系推测其词义，生词不是孤立的、封闭的，它所出现于其中的句子、段落都会提供很多的暗示和线索，其中最常见的上下文暗示或线索有以下五种：
1．同义词或复述线索。在同一句子中使用另外一个词，该词与生词具有基本相同的意义；或者，使用几个词来复述生词的意义。例如：
下面黑体字与画框的字意义相同：
A．The woman found herself in a difficult situation．In fact her plight was so serious that she decided to get help． B．Children often try to emulate or copy the behavior that they．see on television．
2．比较／对照线索，一个句子可能包含有这样一个词，它与生词具有相反的意义。作者有时使用on the other hand，however，although，unlike，yet和but等转折语，提醒读者注。意他要使用一个与生词具有相反意义地词语。
下面黑体字与画框的字意义相反：
A．Some people like to walk quickly home after work，but I prefer to stroll home and look at the store windows along the way.
B． Although the doctor usually performed the operation perfectly．the nurse knew he had slipped when she saw the patient's blood pressure suddenly rise．
3．例释线索。作者有时给出一些例子，指示或解释生词的含义。
请阅读下列句子，并通过每一句中的例子判断黑体字的意义。
A．There was a kind of detachment about the old man's behavior．It appeared as if he didn't care what you were saying to him．as if what you were saying were of no interest to him．
B．In a battle situation he always appeared calm and relaxed．It was this calm demeanor that earned him the respect and admiration of the other soldiers．
4．直接解释的线索。作者有时担心自己所使用的词不易为读者理解，于是就直接解释该词的意义。阅读下列句子，找出黑体字的解释语： A．The powerful poison was imperceptible when mixed in liquid；that is，it could not be tasted，seen，or smelled．
B．From the shelf above him。the old man took down a phiaI，a small glass bottle used to keep liquids，and he placed it on the table in front of him．
5．经验线索或情景线索。有些生词可以根据它们所出现于其中的情景去理解；也可以结合读者自己的经验去理解。
阅读下列句子，运用每一个句子所描述的情景去推断黑体字的含义：
A．Alan found himself on the first floor of an old，seemingly abandoned building，as he walked up to the second floor he could hear the old wooden stairs creak with each step he took．
B．It was the first time Nancy had been in a big city．She felt a little apprehensive as she walked out onto the street．with so many strange faces staring at her
五、跳读法
跳读法是略读法的进一步发展。跳读法就是读的时候，头脑中带着问题，寻找问题的具体答案，采取跳跃、选择阅读的方法。一旦找到了问题的具体答案，便立即停下来，跳读法也是快读的一种形式。如果略去冗余的单词，文章所表达的思想并不受太大的影响。
用跳读法做下面的练习，并迅速选出答案：
A．What_____(in 1836；a new car；yesterday)
B．Why________(last week；for some ice；very carefully)
C．Which_______(the green box；45 cents；in ten minutes) D．How________($649；very quickly；a new red car)
E．Where________(at 9 PM；every meming；in Florida)
F．When_______(under the table；with Susan and Joe；about five hours ago)
G．Who_______(a very good coach；Mr．Roberts；some pens and pencils)
除了以上几点，还有很多其他的方法可以用来提高阅读速度，例如句群阅读法等。无论是哪种方法目的都是为了在提高速度的同时加强对文章的理解。因此，无论采用哪种形式，一定要记住不要为了一棵树苗而忘记了整片森林。不认识的生词可以跳过去，大部分的生词并不影响对整个句子意思的理解，不要一遇到生词心里就慌了。
大学英语四级阅读：选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章，文章中挖出10个空，并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空，有更大的解题难度，原因在于： 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一，选词填空第一题要十五选一，就算用到排除法，最后一题也要六选一，而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到，难度加大； 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性，只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答，而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性，解题时需要同时判断词性和词义，难度加大； 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态，统一形式，而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态，名词的单复数等的辨析，难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项，了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性：名词n，动词v，形容词a，副词ad，在每个选项后作词性的简要标记； 2. 精读全文开头，把握文章主题，并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位，利用前后文判 断每空的词性； 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文，含义通顺，时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时，一些经常考察的形式如下： 名词：通常来说，冠词(如a，an，the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词，即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。"， 举例说明：Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式，正确答案是nightmare，这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词，正确答案是strength，这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候，海洋温度上升，导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子：Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法，用句子结构来判断，前面一句话，husbands and children now do some of these jobs，这是一个完整的句子，主语husbands and children，谓语动词do，宾语some of these jobs；后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句，它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词，而定语从句的中心词是名词，所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法，根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断，横线处应该填一个名词，而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了，这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词：动词的考点很多，我们来看其中三种： 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明：He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里，主语是he，本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语，但是这里没有动词，而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers，这样这句话就缺少谓语动词，所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid，这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师，
2018年6月大学英语六级考试仔细阅读真题解析（卷二） Section C Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Economically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago? In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the Census Bureau, which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015. Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful, but flawed and incomplete, statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Census’s measure are that: 1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation like employer-provided health insurance; and 2) it is based on surveys rather than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income. While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interesting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic performance both across countries and over time. The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U.S. and France in 2005. In 2005, as the authors observe, real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U.S., making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison omits other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take longer vacations and retire earlier, so typically work fewer hours; they enjoy a higher life expectancy, presumably reflecting advantages with respect to health care, diet, lifestyle, and the like; and income and consumption are somewhat more equally distributed there than in the U.S. Because of these differences, comparing France’s consumption with the U.S.’s overstates

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案 第一篇 A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators（呼吸器）to help patients breathe, is the mainstay（主要支持）of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____. A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients C. determining treatment for SARS D. publishing all the information about SARS
2014年12月大学英语六级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧 需要指出的是，在一篇文章的阅读过程中，我们要根据不同的要求采用不同的阅读方法。总的来说，在正式考试中，阅读理解部分可参照下列步骤进行。首先用“快读”的方法浏览全文，以了解中心思想及大意。在此基础上，可根据要回答的问题，用“查读”的方法，或(查到文章中与答题内容有关的范围后)用“细读”的方法，来确定答案。回答问题时，可在文章中划出关键词句，以此作为答题的依据。全部问题答完之后，如时间允许，可再快读一遍全文，核实一下所确定的答题的答案是否符合全文的精神。 1. 快读(Skimming) 快读的目的是用浏览全文的方法了解文章的大意和主题思想，并对文章的结构有个总的概念。顾名思义，快读时，速度要快。一般地说，250字左右的短文要求在二、三分钟内看完。快读时精力必须十分集中，不必去记忆细节；遇到个别生词及难懂的词句，均应略过，以求对全文总体意思的了解。为了更好地抓住全文的中心思想，在快读时要留心文章中某些反复出现的词语，这些往往与文章的主题有关。快读时，还应特别注意文章的开始段和结束段以及文章中每一段的段首句和结尾句，因为它们往往是对文章内容最好的概括。 2. 查读(Scanning) 查读的目的主要是为了寻找文章中某些特定的信息。在查读时，目光要自上而下、一目数行地寻视与答题内容相关的词句，与此无关的内容要很快掠过。当回答有关who, when, where等文章细节问题的时候，用此方法我们一般都可很快找到答案，可以说“一查即得”。但是有些与文章细节有关的问题如：why, how等难以找到现成的回答，这时首先需要通过查读，找到文中与答题内容相关的范围，然后再用下面要讨论的“细读”方法，方可得出准确的答案。 3. 细读(Reading for full understanding) 找到文章中的有关范围以后，即在此范围内逐句阅读，特别对关键词、句要仔细琢磨，以便对其有较深刻、较准确的理解和掌握。不仅要理解其字面意思而且要通过推理和判断，弄清文章中“字里行间”所隐含的意思。在细读中，对没有学过的生词，可根
2015-6-1仔细阅读 When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment, that person's influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in January, now finds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now. Throughout the 2008 financial crisis and the recession and recovery that followed, central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort, holding up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying. Yellen, previously a Fed vice chair, was one of the principal architects of the Fed's $3.8 trillion money dump. A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor markets, Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime（次级债）meltdown. Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery. The good news is that Yellen, 67, is particularly well suited to meet these challenges. She has a keen understanding of financial markets, an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else. Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation. But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-term unemployed, more people worry about the opposite, deflation（通货紧缩）that would aggravate the economy's problems. Either way, the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus. It must be steady enough to deflate bubbles（去泡沫）and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis. Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry's argument that it should be left alone to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance. Yellen is likely to address the issue right after she pushes unemployment below 6%, stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive and robust. As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says, "She's smart as a whip, deeply logical, willing to argue but also a good listener. She
Reading Comprehension for CET 6 Passage 1 In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia,one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train.One of the looters,Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan,suddenly notices the camera and snatches it.Am I in this?he asks,before smashing it open.To the dismayed reporter,Lawrence explains,He thinks these things will steal his virtue.He thinks you're a kind of thief. As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands,stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic.The ignorant natives may have had a point.When photography first became available,scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.But in some ways,anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.Up into the 1950s and 1960s,many ethnographers sought pure pictures of primitive cultures,routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress.They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties,often with little regard for veracity.Edward Curtis,the legendary photographer of North American Indians,for example,got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated,primitive,and unchanging.For instance,National Geographic magazine's photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures.As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic,the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white,middle-class American conventions.While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops,for example,white women's breasts are taboo.Photos that could unsettle or disturb,such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine,are discarded in favor of those that reassure,to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only kindly visions of foreign societies.The result,Lutz and Collins say,is the depiction of an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict. Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot.She read the magazine as a child,and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career.She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures,they should be alert to the choice of composition and images. 1.The main idea of the passage is______________. [A]Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values. [B]There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples. [C]Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales. [D]Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures,compromising the truthfulness of their pictures. 2.We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_________. [A]took pictures with the natives [B]gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands

We have probably all had ... 下面是我给大家整理的，希望对大家有帮助。 Laziness is a sin(罪), everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons rather than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想) may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating rescheduling their day.
2011年6月大学英语六级真题及答案 Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios: It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do? The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far. Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions. Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair. Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________. 48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________. 49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution. 50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________. 51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________. Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is
