1、四级考试阅读技巧 句子与段落匹配题,作文(30分钟),翻译(30分钟),听力(30分钟),选词填空(7分钟),深度阅读(20分钟),长篇阅读(13分钟),共130分钟,40分钟,作文(15%),翻译15%,听力(35%),选词填空5%,深度阅读20%,35%,长篇阅读10%,共710分及格425分,篇章后附有10个句子,每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落,要求找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。有的段落可能对应两题,有的段落可能不对应任何一题。三个及三个以上的句子对应一个段落的情况没有出现过。,长篇阅读的文章基本都是专业题材的文章,可能会觉得很陌生,不要求完全理解只要求能够通过略读或查读的
2、方式找到题干的信息并根据原文内容相比做出正确选择。只是有题干和答案简单的同义词替换。,选材来源,New ScientistNewsweekThe New York TimesTimeThe Washington Post,体裁方面 题材方面,议论文说明文新闻评述记叙文,人文科学自然科学,题型归纳,细节辨认题,文字上和原文一样。(最简单)同义转述题,即文字上换了同义的表达。(简单)细节推断题,即句子是从原文某个细节推断出来。(较难)段意归纳题,即句子是某段文字意思的归纳。(较难),匹配题阅读步骤:Step1(0.5-1min),第一步:阅读文章标题和文章重要部位了解文章内容(Skimming)1
3、、文章标题 2、首段第一句话 3、末段第一句话和最后一句话 如果句子是非概括性的句子则不看。主要目的是了解topic和attitude,Example,简单浏览文章标题和文章重要部位,用时越短越好。大致了解文章内容。(Skimming)Title:TV Linked to Lower MarksFirst sentences in First Paragraph:The effect of television on children has been debated.Now three new studiesFirst Sentence in Last Paragraph:Lucas put
4、s the responsibility for squarely on parents.,第二步:分析题目+查读(scanning)1)分析题目 找出题目中的关键词和定位词。关键词是指题目简化后的中心词,最能表示出句子的含义。定位词是题目中的专有信息或特殊信息(数字、时间、地点、人物、特殊字体和特殊符号等),它能帮助定位到具体的段落。,阅读步骤:Step2(12min),1.人名定位2.地点定位3.数字定位4.事件定位5.现象定位6.动作引语定位7.对象定位8.专有名词定位9.修饰语定位10.主题定位,阅读步骤:Step2(12min),标红为关键词,下划线为定位词 1.According
5、to Borzekowski,children having chances to use a family computer are likely to acquire better results on the different tests.2.The reports issued in the Archives of Pediatrics&Adolescents Medicine find that watching too much TV leads to poor performance in school.,Example,3.Watching more than three h
6、ours of TV before age 3 has bad effect on kids.4.According to the second report,the chance for one to acquire a college degree depends on the amount of his TV watching during his children.,Example,阅读步骤:Step2(12mins),2)查读(Scanning)1、看题目,按题查找。带着题目中的定位词,到原文中去查找定位,找到句子信息所在段落。有时要用到句子中的多个定位词到原文中定位查找。查找时遵循
7、先易后难的原则。(Scanning)在查读时,一目十行地寻视与答题内容相关的词句,与此无关的内容要很快略过。在最短的时间内掠过尽可能多的内容,找到所需要的信息。2、确定答案。定位后,在定位词附近找有无与题目关键词相关内容,有则直接选择该段,无则继续往下找定位词(可在未确定位置标上定位词的题号以便下次判断)。,阅读步骤:Step2(12mins),先易后难原则+不重复原则第一遍:第一题定位时scan每段的第一句话(随手用/区分首句)。找到则在段落前打表示已对应一题,然后做下一题;没找到则放弃直接做下一题。后面同理。最后大概能完成3-6题第二遍:没完成的题目重新开始,题目定位时scan每段的最后一
8、句(随手用/区分末句)。找到则在段落前打表示已对应一题,然后做下一题;没找到则放弃直接做下一题。后面同理。最后大概还剩2-3题,阅读步骤:Step2(12mins),第三遍:剩下的题目,定位时scan每段的中间(先找没有标注的段落,打过两次的段落不用看)。最后大概还剩0-1题 三遍完成后剩下的题目算是比较难的题目,做起来得不偿失,可以选择放弃,也可以根据题目句子含义猜测会处于文章的大致位置。,阅读步骤:Step2(12mins),查读可运用下列技巧:1、利用章节标题:Title(标题)、Subtitle(副标题)和Section heading(段落标题)2、在浏览每段首句时,如果有的话,可顺
9、手将本段的关键词用笔圈出。这些起到小标题的作用。再阅读到该段时可以辅助判断,减少阅读难度。3、不断的查读过程中留意掌握文章的大致结构脉络,Follow me,2015年6月四级真题,Essay-Grading Software Offers Professors a Break,AImagine taking a college exam,and,instead of handing in a blue book and getting a grade from a professor a few weeks later,clicking the send button when you ar

34、的作用。努力使自己的眼睛变成“广角镜”,把尽可能多的词能一眼“尽收眼底”。(一眼扫过去,看一行也就两秒,大概了解讲的是什么就过,不要纠结细节),3)意群要长 在每个视幅中不是让你把很多的单词都收进脑子,而是要善于从中摄取有意义的词组,这个有意义的词组就是意群。快速阅读者是半句或一句句地读。视幅大大加宽,停顿的间隙少而短,获取的都是有意义的词组,因而理解全句或全段就能做到水到渠成,如何提高阅读技能,如何提高阅读技能,以意群阅读举例:Successful improvement of your reading depends upon your eagerness to improve and y
35、our willingness to practice.如果你一个一个词来读这句话,你的视线就要在每个词上都要停留一次,影响阅读速度,单个词本身是不会产生任何意义的,只有与其他词联系起来,才能构成一定的意义,即将单个的词语按照自然的语法和意义关系组织起来 构成一定意义的这一组词,就是意群(idea units or meaningful units)。阅读时以意群为单位,而不是以词为单位来理解吸收。,如何提高阅读技能,如果以意群为单位,即:Successful improvementof your readingdepends uponyour eagernessto improveand y
36、our willingnessto practice.这样,你的视线是在每个词组上停留,停留次数减少,意义比较连贯,即使你的视线在词组上停留的时间要比在一个单词上停留的时间稍微长一些,但因为意义容易理解,总体时间还是要比前者短,而且阅读质量提高了。其实,我扫读这段话时,我入心的只是红色部分&看这段话的时间只需要两秒,如何提高阅读技能,词组越长,阅读速度越快:Successful improvement of your readingdepends uponyour eagerness to improveand your willingness to practice.这样阅读的效果是你感觉阅
37、读时,你的视线在跳跃,你的脑子来不及将英语翻译成中文,就已经理解了。其实说太多技巧也没用,这些技巧适合我却不一定适合你,你需要理解总结!适合自己的才算好嘛但一目十行真的是原则!,附:意群的具体划分,现将句子划分意群的一般原则归纳如下:1名词词组 1)冠词+名词,例:a country 2)名词+名词,例:coumrade Li 3)指示代词+名词,例:this book 4)形容词+名词,例:natural science 5)作形容词用的名词或分词+名词,例:New Years Day the working class,这部分你看看就行,只能算是参考做阅读没有那么多原则。自己读着习惯就好!

39、e a rest to have a meeting to get ready,附:意群的具体划分,7联系动词+表语,例:be at school grow quite well 8主语+谓语,这种句型用于简短语句时,一般划分为一个意群,例:He stands up They are very happy 9主语+谓语+宾语,这种句型用于简短语句时,划分为一个意群例:I can speak English He gave me a book,附:意群的具体划分,10简短的名词性从句,包括主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句,例:That he will come hereis certain.(主语从
