四級(jí)改革后,記敘文體裁的文章出現(xiàn)的頻率越來越高,尤其是仔細(xì)閱讀和快速閱讀部分。記敘文體裁能很好地考查考生捕捉具體信息、把握主旨大意方面的能力。無論是說明文、議論文還是記敘文,最常用的閱讀方法是一樣的,即詳讀、略讀和跳讀。一般來說,在記敘文當(dāng)中,如果題目考查的是具體的信息點(diǎn),比如年代、數(shù)據(jù)、方法步驟等,采取詳讀的策略；如果考查主旨大意,一般采取略讀的策略；如果考查考生迅速找到主要信息點(diǎn)的能力,建議采用跳讀的策略。當(dāng)然,必要的時(shí)候,多種閱讀方法并用。下面我們以具體的試題為例探討解決記敘文難題的可行性方法。例:
Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
I headed off to college being sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn’t care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one.
Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(協(xié)調(diào))engineering with liberal arts courses in college.
The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
1. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university because he _______.
A) wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality
B) intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist
C) wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal arts courses in college
D) intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals
2. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can _______.
A) balance engineering and the liberal arts
B) receive guidance in their careers
C) become noble idealists
D) broaden their horizons
3. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected _______.
A) to have an excellent academic record
B) to be wise and mature
C) to be imaginative with a value system to guide him
D) to be a technical genius with a wide vision
4. The author’s experience shows that he was _______.
A) creative
B) ambitious
C) unrealistic
D) irrational5. The word "they" in "... together they threaten to confuse."(Line 7, Para.5) refers to _______.
A) engineering and the liberal arts
B) reality and noble ideals
C) flexibility and a value system
D) practicality and rationality
解析:
1. B)。本題考查細(xì)節(jié)的關(guān)鍵詞,采用跳讀加詳讀的閱讀策略。根據(jù)liberal arts定位在第二段中的兩個(gè)wanted 。此處講"我"想成為一個(gè)工程師和人文主義者的結(jié)合體。故選B)。
2. D)。根據(jù)題干,迅速鎖定第二段中"I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering."。此處講與非工科學(xué)生交流可以開闊"我"的視野,拓寬"我"的想象力。故選D)。
3. D)。根據(jù)題干中"successful"和"expected",鎖定在第三段中"I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one."此處講在作者看來,一個(gè)完美的工程師應(yīng)該是擁有寬廣視野的技術(shù)天才。故選D)。
4. C)。根據(jù)題干中"experience"鎖定倒數(shù)第二段中。此處講在實(shí)現(xiàn)高尚理想的路途中,作者遭遇了"現(xiàn)實(shí)"的撞擊。他試圖平衡對(duì)文理科的學(xué)習(xí),但是實(shí)際操作起來很困難,不是很現(xiàn)實(shí)。故選C)。
5. A)。根據(jù)題干鎖定最后一段可知,此處講工科和文科不像"我"在高中時(shí)期想的那樣簡(jiǎn)單地混合在一起。它們分別以不同的方式塑造一個(gè)人。故此處的they指的是工科和文科。故選A)。
