2013年12月的四六級改革已出方案。針對閱讀版塊，傳統閱讀依舊傳統，快速閱讀卻變成了長篇閱讀。考查形式從過去多元化的Y, N, NG、句子填空、多項選擇轉變成了十個句子的信息匹配。感覺上在向考研新題型靠攏。但縱觀目前官方給出的樣題，實則不難發現，長篇閱讀依舊快速閱讀，只是更加快速閱讀了些，頗有些換湯不換藥的意思。下面，就大綱樣題一起來分析下，找找新舊閱讀的異同。
樣題Universities Branch Out來自于2007年12月四級真題的快速閱讀原文。這符合本次改革官方說法"原快速閱讀理解調整為長篇閱讀理解，篇章長度和難度不變。"而題目實則與之前考法異曲同工。匹配題主要在于定位，則就定位我們遵循專有名詞，數詞，連字符詞，動賓結構，題干新信息等之前課上講的定位原則，具體我們以樣題來操作。

46. American universities prepare their undergraduates for global careers by giving them chances for international study or internship.
原文：
D Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2, 2000 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships（實習）abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity and providing the financial resources to make it possible.

47. Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.
原文：
C Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 8000,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2994. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries id growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.

48. The enrollment of international students will have a positive impact on America rather than threaten its competitiveness.
原文：
I Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation's well-being through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects：and like immigrants throughout history-strength the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished(珍視) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few Instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university students.
49. The way research is carried out in universities has changed as a result of globalization.
原文：
E Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Shanghai's Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4300-square-meter laboratory seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu's Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducing from a word-class scientist and his U.S. team.

50. Of the newly hired professors in science and engineering in the United States, twenty percent come from foreign countries.

51. The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharply after September 11 due to changes in the visa process.
原文：
H American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11,changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S.
