英语四级快速阅读得分技巧

　　略读的目的是：了解文章的主题;对文章的结构获得一个整体概念;对各部分的内容获得一个粗略的印象;对文章主旨做出判断。

　　对快速阅读而言，略读最重要的意义在于对各部分的内容获得一个粗略印象，以方便在寻读的迅速确定答案所在的部分或段落。

　　① 有小标题的文章的解题技巧

　　对于有小标题的文章，把握开头或结尾部分就把握住了文章的主题与写作目的。小标题相当于段落的主题句，把握住小标题就把握住了文章的主要内容。这些小标题在寻读时也显得格外重要，从题干中的定位信息可以快速找到相关的小标题，再在小标题下的内容中查找就可以了。这对于提高作题速度非常有帮助。

　　【真题示例1】

　　Protect your references.

　　If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references,take it out.There s no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references..

　　Q:To protect your references,you should not post online their _______

　　【解析】name and contact information / private contact information。根据题干中的protect your references可以快速定位到小标题5下的内容。本段讲述的主要是是如何来保护自己的证明人。段中说的主要内容就是要把联系人的姓名和联系方式从网 上拿下来。

　　【真题示例2】

　　原文的几个小标题为：How Much Trash Is Generated;How Is Trash Disposed of ;What Is a Landfill;Proposing the landfill;Building the Landfill;What Happens to Trash in a Landfill;How Is a Landfill Operated

　　Q:The passage gives a general description of the structure and use of a landfill.

　　【解析】选Y。看文章的标题可知道全文主要描述的是垃圾填埋场的建设与使用。所以题干正确.

　　② 无小标题的文章解题技巧对于没有小标题的文章，需要把握文章开头或结尾部分来把握文章的主题与写作目的。更重要的是浏览每段的段首和段尾，对每一段的主题和内容获得一个粗略的印象。建议考生在浏览时将本段的主题词用笔圈出。这些主题词将起到小标题的作用。

　　【真题示例】

　　.Today,the interstate system links every major city in the U.S. and the U.S.with Canada and Mexico.Built with safety in mind,the highways have wide lanes and shoulders,dividing medians or barriers,long entry and exit lanes,curves engineered for safe turns,and limited access.The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S.roads

　　Q: In spite of safety considerations ,the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of ther American roads.

　　【解析】选N。本段讲的是告诉公路的安全问题，death rate是其中的一个关键词。根据题干中的关键词定位到这一段，再根据句中存在的比较关系再具体定位到段落的末尾处。原文说： 高速公路上的车祸死亡碧绿 是其他路面上的一半 。所以题干说： 高速公路上的事故死亡率比其他路面上的高 是错误的。
