分析研究英語四級考試閱讀理解歷屆考題,可以發現命題者命制的考點是有一定規律的,且考點規律常與某種題型(主旨題、細節題、邏輯題、觀點態度題、詞義題)相對應。如果考生掌握了這些規律,就能在第一遍快速閱讀短文時,敏銳地捕捉到考點并能預測可能會出的題型。考生此時應用筆在這些可能會出題的考點輕輕劃上記號,等看完短文開始做題時,針對題干的提問,迅速找到做記號的考點,再仔細分析、答題。這樣,考生就能節省不少時間,從而避免開始做題時又要通閱全文盲目找考點。下面,我們將這些考點規律及對應題型歸納如下:
1、列舉處常考
列舉處指的是First,…,second, …,Third, …等逐步列出,并列指的是A、B and C。其共同特點是列出3條或3條以上的條目。后要求考生從列舉出的內容中,選出符合題干要求的答案項。該考點常出題型是"細節事實題"。 主要有兩種:
① which題型
該題型要求從并列的三項中選一項作為答案,其他選項與題目無關。
② except題型
該題型要求考生通過核對文章內,排??為答案。也稱為“三缺一”題型。
例1. At third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: firstly, as members of a police force they always have to be have absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
Q: What’s the policeman’s biggest headache?
(A) He has to get the most desirable results without breaking the law in any way.
(B) He has to justify his arrests while unable to provide sufficient evidence in most cases.
(C) He can hardly find enough time to learn criminal law while burdened with numerous criminal cases.
(D) He has to provide the best possible public service at the least possible expense.
(分析:選A。屬事實細節題。依據文章,與電影中的警察很不相同的是,現實中警察既要絕對遵守法(firstly,…),又要及時破案(secondly,…),這令他們很難兩頭兼顧,有時只有犯規。很明顯,B、C、D三項都與文章內容不符。)
在做此類細節事實題時,只要把細節考點(firstly,…secondly…)找到,對照選項內容,跟細節事實不一致的就不是選項。考生只需細心一點都能辨清細節事實,選對答案。
例2.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present.First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves . Second,we mast investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third,we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade,maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on barrages.
Q: which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?
(A)Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures.
(B)More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
(C)Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution.
(D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.
(分析:選A。屬事實細節題。專生只要看懂了文章內容三個方面,很容易排除掉B、C、D三項。)
