试卷结构
四级操作
(一)四级快速阅读答题技巧:
两大基本考点——skimming和scanning
其实“快速阅读”这个称谓是对这部分题型名称的一种误解,甚或说是一种误译。实际上试题册上所给的题型英文名称是Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)——阅读理解(略读与跳读)。不少考生正是由于受到所谓“快速”两字的误导,以为单纯求快就可以万事大吉,殊不知这其中是另有“隐情”。
Skimming——略读
略读,顾名思义就是要求考生在较短时间内把握住文章某个段落的主题思想。
Scanning——跳读
跳读其实对大家来说就比较熟悉了。首先是找准题干关键词,然后带入原文定位寻找答案。段落中与关键词无关部分可以一概略去不看。每次快速阅读考试都有几个直接定关键词就能得答案的送分题。
建议考生可以按照“三步走”的思路来进行解题:
1. 浏览大标题和小标题(了解文章主题结构)
2. 精读文章的开头(准确把握文章的主题)
3. 看一题做一题,关键词定位配合顺序原则
(二)给出"原因"的32个万能句:
在四级作文中,经常会引出原因的句子,这个时候,我们往往灵光一闪,于是"the reason is","because","for"等高频词汇又上线了。然而这些词汇在阅卷老师那边并不吃香,因为太过平凡,以至于淹没在众多的同类中。那么,如何让自己的句子在卷海中脱颖而出呢?请看小编为大家带来的38个万能句吧!
