快速阅读解题技巧 ? ? 快速阅读(Skimming and Scanning)在新题型中所占比例为10%,要求考生在15分钟内阅读一篇900－1200字左右的文章并完成后面的10个问题。前面7道题是判断题；后3道是填空题(注:2007年12月真题中快速阅读1-7题为选择题形式,关于这部分以后的设题形式,考试中心尚未给出明确说法)。快速阅读测试的是考生浏览阅读和查读的能力,要求考生通过泛读,集中精力迅速查找题目的答案,而不必对文章仔细推敲、琢磨。因此,考生在作答快速阅读部分时,应着重从以下两方面入手:读题标词和定位查询。考生可以利用1分钟左右时间,迅速阅读10个题目,并在每个题目上标出可以提示查询答案的关键词。之后,考生便可带着关键词进行有针对性的阅读。在此过程中,利用关键词迅速定位成为快速阅读的重要环节。 一、小标题和关键词 由于篇幅较长,大多数快速阅读材料以小标题的形式出现,这有助于考生理清思路,在定位查询时有的放矢。 例:4. Establish an email address for your search. Another way to protect your privacy while seeking employment online is to open up an email account specifically for your online job search ... Using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn’t contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is an email address that is relevant to the job you are seeking such as salesmgr2004@.(2007年6月真题) 题:Using a special email address in the job search can help prevent you from receiving ________. 答案:unwelcome emails。 首先在题目中标出关键词Using a special email address,之后回原文查找,即可定位于第4个小标题Establish an email address for your search。这里有一点值得考生注意,第二段首句中eliminates the possibility后跟同位语从句,而题目中则为prevent you from receiving。这种句式的变换是快速阅读填空题型中出现频率较高的考点,考生在正确获取信息的基础上要全面考虑,切忌因句式变换而失分。 二、具有惟一性或特殊性的关键词 有的快速阅读因为不设置小标题致使通篇没有任何提示,2006年6月新四级快速阅读便是如此。此时考生应关注题目中具有惟一性和特殊性的关键词,以便在原文中得到明显提示。具有惟一性和特殊性的关键词通常是数字、地点和人名等专有名词。 例:With the increase in auto production, private turnpike (收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by 1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of the 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John MacAdam (for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight restrictions, or commercial
