6月快速阅读仍然采用了大小标题结合的文章模式,而且文章长度保持在1200词左右。十道题目也继续维持选择和填空两种题型,应该来说6月份的六级快速阅读整体比较容易。考生可以采用下面的原则解答:
步骤一:迅速浏览大标题和小标题,了解文章的中心和文章整体的布局:6月份大标题是What will the world be like in fifty years? ,这样考生就能联想到文章主要是对未来世界的预测,而小标题分别从八个方面进行了阐释Living Longer, Aliens, Colonies in Space, Spinal Injuries, Obesity, Robots, Energy, Society
步骤二:依次而下顺序解题,填写注意语法正确:快速阅读通常是以依次而下的顺序出题,而且每题基本都是细节题,分别对应文章一段,因此考生可以采用关键词定位的方法。虽然面对选择和填空两种题型,但其实选择和填空的唯一区别是前者提供了四个选项选择,而后者需要填写时考虑语法和书写正确,但答案基本上都是从原文中可以获得。
例题1 According to Harvard professor Steven Pinker, predictions about the future_____.
A) may invite trouble B) may not come true
C) will fool the public D) do more harm than good
考生可以利用题目中的关键词Steven Pinker进行定位,在文章第六段找到对应的句子Harvard professor Steven Pinker says: This is an invitation to look foolish, as with the predictions of domed cities and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners that were made 50 year ago.,因此可以根据句意,可以排除A、C、D,而选择B。
例题2 Rodney Brooks says that it will be possible for robots to work with humans as a result or the development of _____.
此题为填空题,考生可以根据题目中的关键词Rodney Brooks 在文中定位到小标题Robots部分Rodney Brooks, professor of robotics at MIT, says the problems of developing artificial intelligence for robots will be at least partly overcome.题干要求填空的部分由于紧接在of后面,需要一个名词性结构,而文中developing后面是动词宾语,正好也是名词性结构,所以答案是artificial intelligence for robots。
快速阅读中除了上述两种题型之外,还有难度较大的判断题型,即True,False,Not Given题,所以考生也需要对这种题目进行一定的练习,做好出题者变换题型的准备。True一般来说比较好判断,False还是Not Given,关键是看题目的表述和原文的表述是否对立,若判断为对立,那就应该选False,而选Not Given的情况是两者表述并不对立,只是题目的信息在原文中找不到相对等的表述。这里简单举一个小例子:
原文:It is cold.
判断1:It is hot.
判断2:It is humid.
快速阅读主要考查考生的快速浏览和理解转换的能力,所以考生备考过程中,浏览速度直接制约了考生能否在此项考题中有出色的发挥。对此,考生应加强眼睛快速浏览和理解的能力,最为简单有效的方法就是每天坚持高声快速朗读。
