很多同學(xué)都說考英語六級的時候，閱讀理解總是時間不夠用，往往都要收卷了，還有一兩篇沒有做，在種緊急狀況下，該如何提高剩下文章的命中率呢？這里我們介紹一些臨門一腳的做題竅門。
(一)針對主旨大意題只讀段首、段尾句。一般來說，一篇文章的中心思想或某一段主題思想往往通過段首、段尾句表達(dá)出來。考生迅速找到了這些主題句，也能答題。
例(1) The author writes this passage to _____ 。(1995年6月六級題30)
A. discuss the negative aspect of being attractive。
B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
C. demand equal rights for woman
D. emphasize the importance of appearance
(分析：考生若沒有時間看整個文章，但只要看到第一段最后一句話：But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. 第二段第一句話：While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. 考生亦能選出正確答案項A。)
例(2) The main idea of this passage is that _____ 。(1991年6月六級題40)
A. better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life
B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities。
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago.??
D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities。
(分析：此題主要考某一段的中心意思。考生苦看到了該段第一句話：Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. 即使沒有通讀全段，考生也應(yīng)能選出A項為正確答案。)
(二)若針對舉例子、引用名人言論、特殊符號(如冒號、引號、破折號)后內(nèi)容出題，考生可只讀例子、名人言話、符號前后句內(nèi)容，然后符號題。
例(1) Tish Sommers argues that _____ . (1994上1月六級題28)
A. older women find it hard to escape poverty。
B. older women usually perform better in their jobs
C. the major cause of the poverty of older women is sexism
D. more people have come to believe in sexism and ageism。
(分析：考生一看到題干，迅速到文章中找到Tish Sommers 的位置，人名開頭字母大寫，容易找到，且有雙引號引用了她的原話："When sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer in the doorstep it moves in"。考生只要看看新引用的話及前后句內(nèi)容，就能選出正確答案A項。)
例(2) According to Dr. David, Americans _____ . (1993年6月六級題32)
A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B. often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit
C. do not know how to relax themselves properly
D. can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep。
(分析：考生一看到此人名字，迅速從課文中找到，然后細(xì)讀他所說的話："people cheat on their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it,"says Dr. David. "They think they're key because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous."只要理解了這些話，考生應(yīng)能選出B項。)
