3、 多個謂語動詞連用
簡單句之所以簡單是因為成分單一便于讀者理解。而四級閱讀理解中，出題人為增加閱讀難度，就會把幾個謂語動詞放在一個句子當中。但是無論局勢如何變化，英語句子本身就猶如一棵大樹，只能有一個主干起支撐作用，其他起輔助作用。
解決方法：遇到多個謂語動詞連用情況要分清主句謂語動詞和從句的謂語動詞。剔除細枝末節之后，句子也就好理解了。例如：
Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu(流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. (2005.1)
解析：此句是由but引導的并列句。前面一句話容易理解，謂語動詞是spell,關鍵看后一句話。but引導的句子黑體下劃線是主語，該句子真正謂語動詞是may make，如下面所示：
but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu(流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.
翻譯：喉嚨發癢、鼻塞、渾身酸痛都令人痛苦，但是能夠確定造成這種痛苦的根源是普通感冒還是流感，對這種痛苦能折磨你多就會起關鍵作用。
4、舉例作為插入語(顯著詞such as; for example; including etc.)
插入語主要起補充或說明的作用，我們在進行快速閱讀的時候通常會把它省略，即忽略不看。但是，筆者在這里要提出的一點是，如果根據文章問題回原文定位句子時，如果定位的關鍵句子包含了以上插入語中的任何一種形式，則答案往往就在此處。例如：
原文：Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
考題： Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of
A. instrumental support B. informational support
C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect
(1)Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. (2005.1)
翻譯：普通感冒患者的一些典型癥狀，如鼻塞、流鼻涕、喉嚨發癢，發作比較緩慢，成人和青少年患者一般不會有發熱癥狀。
(2)And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. (2005.1)
翻譯：一般來說，流感癥狀包括發燒、發冷、喉嚨發癢、渾身疼痛，比普通感冒的癥狀來得突然和猛烈。
