职称英语阅读理解常见题型及解题技巧
专业技术人员以英语为工具,主要通过阅读获取相关学科和专业的信息,因此,全国专业技术职称英语等级考试也主要是考阅读理解。从考试题型来看,主要是多项选择题。该题型在职称英语等级考试中占15题,45分。另外,全国专业技术职称英语等级考试中还采用了阅读判断、概括大意与完成句子、补全短文和选择填空等题型,它们实质上也是考核阅读能力的题型。由此可见,为了通过全国专业技术职称英语等级考试,必须掌握最基本的阅读技能,努力提高阅读理解能力。
全国职称英语等级考试大纲就阅读理解能力的考核目标作了如下规定:
读者应能综合运用英语语言知识和阅读技能来理解本专业的或一般内容的英语书面材料。阅读能力主要包括下列几个方面:
1.掌握所读材料的主旨和大意;
2.了解阐述主旨的事实和细节;
3.利用上下文猜测某些词汇和短语的意义;
4.既理解个别句子的意义,也理解上下文之间的意义关系;
5.根据所读材料进行判断和推论;
6.领会作者的观点、意图和态度。
根据考试大纲规定的考核目标,我们归纳出相应的六种阅读理解题的类型,并具体地探讨如何答好这些阅读理解题。
1.掌握所读材料的主旨和大意
掌握所读材料的主旨和大意是正确理解全文的关键。对主题思想的提问是阅读理解测试的必考题。但提问方式及用词都有差异,这类题常见提问方式可归纳如下:
1. The main idea of this passage is _______
2. This passage tells us_______
3. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
4. Which of the following sentences best summarizes the authors main point?
5. Which of the following best states the theme of the passage?

8. This passage illustrates ______
9. This paragraph centers / focuses on ______
10. This passage mainly deals with ______
11. This passage is chiefly concerned with ______
12. The authors purpose in writing this passage is _______
13. What is the passage mainly about?
14. What is the best title of the passage?
15. The major point discussed in the passage is
解答这一类题目的基本方法如下:
A.找出主题句。首先要读标题,因为标题往往是主题句中的核心词或概括性的词。抓住全文中心思想的最快捷的途径就是找出主题句。主题句一般位于文章或段落的开始,然后围绕主题展开论述。因为许多作者喜欢采用从一般到个别的论证或叙述方式,即演绎法。这是一种很常见的文章或段落的写作形式。若作者采用归纳法,即从个别到一般来论证或叙述,主题旬就会位于段末。除此之外,主题句还有可能位于段落的中间。找到主题句后,就应以它为标准,在解题时,凡是与主题句意思最接近的选项必然是正确的答案。
例1
In rock music there is a distinct and almost overwhelming beat.No single beat is characteristic of the music today. But each song has an easily recognizable rhythm.As you listen to a son9,your foot usually starts to pick up the beat.Before lon9,your entire body seems to be moving with it.Your head pounds with the beat,and there is no room for thought.Only the surge of the music is important.In its own way,rock music is as dominant as the rock Gibraltar. Its message is an ever growing emotional one.
在这一段文章中 In rock music there is a distinct and almost overwhelming beat. 为主题句。beat则是句子的信息核心。该词在第2、4、6句里重复出现,而第3句中的rhythm跟beat意思基本一致,这就保证了主题平稳而持续的发展。请注意:第8、9句作者重申并总结了主题句,而不是说段末是主题句。
例2
The vegetable and fruit and flower merchants are surrounded by baskets of purple eggplants, green peppers,strings of tiny silvery onions,heads of bitter Indian spinach.and a dozen Indian vegetables for which I dont even know the English names.I had forgotten about the profusion of fruit in Indiait is only during the brief intense summer that you see much variety of fruit in Moscow. In Russia,as winter approaches all vegetables except for potatoes and the pervasive cabbage in soup seem to disappear from the menus.
主题句在中间的第二句I had forgotten about the profusion of fruit in Indiait is only during the brief intense summer that you see much variety of fruit in Moscow.
例3
People live in cities today think that meat is something that comes wrapped in cellophane.from the supermarket,potatoes come by the pound in plastic or paper bags,and feather grows in hats. The city dwellers views are quite different from the views of their ancestors, who knew that? meat is hunted down in the forest,potatoes are planted and weeded,and only birds can produce1eathers. Yet, whether people today realize it or not,they are still as dependent on animals and plants for their existence as their ancestors were.
主题句为最后一句 Yet,whether people today realize it or not,they are still as dependent on animals and plants for their existence as their ancestors were.
以上为叙述的方便并考虑到篇幅的限制,只选单段短文为例。实际上阅读理解题中大部分是多段短文。但主题句一般出现在起始段
