3、集中在社会人文领域的各个方面。关注的话题都不是很大,行文内容也不是非常客观的、无感情的, 而是走心的,细腻的成分多一些。很多文章带有散文的感觉。,题型分类和解题技巧,主旨题考查考生对文章的主题思想、作品基调及文章大意的理解和掌握。经常出现的提问方式有:解题技巧:一,依据主题句判断。二,排除法,细节题主要考查考生对文章中具体信息的理解程度,如具体的时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、数字、方式等,问题通常会以what, why, where, how, how many等疑问词或词组开头,常见的提问方式有:解题技巧:一,判断是正选题还是反选题(incorrect, except等)。二是快速浏览文章段

6、alize that every time you take a step, the bones in you hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still81.

9、 comes from learning and practice.答案为D。事实细节题。,二,语义转折处。 作者常常会借用转折连词或副词来引出某项重要的事实或观点,转折词之后的内容往往表达的是作者真实的写作目的、观点或态度,因此出题人经常会围绕转折词前后的内容来设题。 常见的表转折关系的连词或副词有however, but, yet, nevertheless, while, though, although, at the same time等。此外,indeed, in fact, virtually, practically也常常用来表示前后语义的转折。例 (2014年第83题)The
10、 old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words saidone, two, three, and a pig for mehe became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free.

13、比较的对象。,例 (2012年第99题) Cairo, a dusty city of 20 million people, is a place where time seems to both stand still and rush into utter chaos. It is a place where the ancient and contemporary happily go along on parallel tracks. Take the Great Pyramids of Giza, sitting on the western edge of the city. Ev
14、en as the setting sun silhouettes these gigantic structures against the great desert expanse, a call for prayer floats over semi-finished apartment blocks filled with the activity of city life.

16、? A. Gigantic structure; great desert expanse B. a call for prayers; men and women with the shisha C. chaos; maddening D. coffee shops; pyramids答案为D。推理判断题。对比处命题。第六段指出开罗是一个现代与古代并存的城市。接着第七段描述了庄重肃穆的埃及金字塔,第八段描述了喧嚣吵闹的城市生活。金字塔是古代的标志,咖啡馆是现代的象征,二者正好形成古今对照。 Gigantic structure(巨大的建筑)存在于great desert expanse(广大
17、的沙漠)中,二者不存在对比关系; call for prayers(祈祷声)以及men and women with the shisha(抽水烟的男女)均是城市生活的体现,二者不存在对比关系; chaos与maddening表达意思相近,不形成对比。,四,并列、列举或举例处 并列、列举处是指用First(ly), Second(ly), Third(ly), Finally, Not onlybut also, In addition, Furthermore, Moreover, Above all, On the one hand, on the other hand等表示顺承或并列关系
18、的词语列举出的一系列并列的事实情况。 为了是自己的观点更有说服力、更加准确,作者还经常会使用举例的方法来进行论证,常由as, such as, for example, for instance, take as an example等引出。例 (2009年第88题) One important caution about fake phoning.

26、C。观点态度题。态度处命题。,七,引言处作者在论证自己的观点或描述别人的观点时,常会引言他人或组织机构的话语、论断或发现,出题人常会在此处设计题眼。例 (2013年第86题) Every business needs two things, says Skullcandy CEO Rick Alden: inspiration and desperation.

33、地表达人、物或事及其逻辑关系作者常会利用各种代词来代替前面提过的人、物或事。当代词前后的句子结构比较复杂、代词与其代替的人、物或事相隔较远或代词周围出现多个事物时,这种指代关系往往不容易一下就区分清楚,因而常常被作为设题点。例(2008年第88题)As a matter of fact, all the planets, except the one we live on, bear names that come from Roman mythology, including the planet that is farthest away from the sun and for that
34、 reason was called after the Roman god of the dead.88. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT have origins in myths or legends? A. Jovial. B. Wednesday C. Earth D. March答案为C。事实细节题。指代处命题。,猜测词义的方法,专四阅读对词汇量要求很高,难免会遇到不认识的单词。需要考试猜词义。上下文猜词法。重点关注”I mean, that is to say, or in other words
35、, which equals to”另外,破折号、冒号也有解释的功能。构词法分析。通过词缀来猜词义。比如mistreatment,treat表示“对待”,而mis-前缀表示“错误的”,mistreat表示“错误地对待”即“虐待”之意,最后加上-ment后缀,使之成为名词性质的单词。对比猜词法。如果同一个难词在文中不止一次出现,可以把与这个词相关的语境作对比,从而揣摩词义。巧妙绕开生词。英语文章中不是所有的词的功能都是等同的。有些词担负着传达主要信息的功能,而有些主要起语法作用,或者它传达的信息和上下文的其他信息没有联系。这类词有:表示人名、地名、机构名等专有名词。只要能识别是专有名词,就能理解文章的意思。,简答题做题技巧,同一篇文章的简答题一定要跟选择题一起做!同一篇文章的简答题一定要跟选择题一起做!同一篇文章的简答题一定要跟选择题一起做!简答题字数不能超过10个单词。否则扣分。这种迅速找到有用的信息、快速归纳提炼的能力需要平时刻意练习。尽量用原文信息作答,但是原文信息比较啰嗦,就要转变为更为简练的同义表达法。所问信息文中无法直接找到的,需要在对文章理解透彻的基础上进行提炼总结。平时需要刻意练习.,给考生的复习建议,
