英語六級 閱讀(2.89W)

快速閱讀,就是在有限的時間內找到所需要的資訊——既強調速度(Speed)又強調準確度(Accuracy)。根據大綱要求,快速閱讀主要考察的技巧是查讀(Scanning)和略讀(Skimming)。因為熟練掌握這兩種閱讀方法,能夠把閱讀的目的更直接地投入到閱讀的過程之中,從而更有效 地提高閱讀速度,同時提高閱讀的準確度。因此,提高略讀和查讀的能力,有助於我們平時學習時快速查詢資料或自己所需要的資訊。

2015年6月英語六級閱讀技巧

 一、略讀

所謂略讀是一種選擇閱讀法。它有兩個特點:第一,它有意地忽略掉一些字詞、句子或段落;第二,它有意地不求甚解。例如抓住一段的大意時甚至可以對該段落的一半或者四分之三不予理睬。

略讀不是略去某些詞不讀,而是指不可以逐字逐詞閱讀。要抓住關鍵詞,閱讀句群,把握整體意思。在一個句子裡,最關鍵的莫過於主語、謂語、賓語了,其他的成分都是用來補充主、謂、賓的附加成分,讓主、謂、賓看起來更加豐滿。使用略讀法時,要省去各種細節的知識,如數字、公式、時間、地點、人物年齡等。要注意故事的主要情節,抓住中心意思。在方法上,閱讀時可以跳躍某些句子,但要注意關鍵詞、關鍵段落和問題。當找到了所需要的資訊時,要立即停下來。然後,再慢慢地細讀包含所需資訊的那一行或那一句。

例如:The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the joumalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons;first,it seems likely that most people in modem Western societies are more familiar,at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interviewing than any other form of interviewing.

遇到難句一定要將主語、渭語、賓語勾畫出來,明顯地提醒自己這句話的意思是什麼。在做完了題目檢查時還一定要認認真真地把句子分析清楚,這樣才可以提高自己的閱讀能力。

二、找出訊號詞

訊號詞常用來連線細節或是強調內容,並可完成段落的轉換,暗示讀者下文要講的內容,標誌出作者要提出一個新的思想或者觀點,或者是作者要對所論述的觀點舉例說明,或者要詳細論述同一觀點。例如:

To sum up,Aristotle thought that all motions resulted either from the nature of the moving object or from a sustained push or pull.

There is never only a single force in a example, in walking across the floor,we push against the floor, and the floor in turn pushes against us.

In other words, in an economic sense the family was analmost self-sufficient unit.

常用的主要有:

A.表示遞進關係

如:also,besides,further,furthermore,even,too, addition,in particular,even more important等。

B.表示時間和順序

如:before,now,next,first,finally,at first,at last,then,until,soon,later,after,eventually,in the past,afterwards,meanwhile。in the meantime等。

C.表示空間順序

如:beside,between,beyond,from,outside,next to,opposite to等。

D.表示下文要引出例子

如:such as, i.e.,for example,for instance,in fact等。

E.表示因果關係

如:because,thus,so,so that,as a result,therefore,consequently, for thisreason,hence,accordingly等。

F.表示比較或對比

如:like,similarly,likewise,in the same way,in spite of,despite,on the contrary,by comparison,in contrast,but,however,although,on the other hand,yet,nevertheless,conversely,otherwise等。

G.表示結論和概括意義

如:to conclude,to sum up,in sum,in short,in brief,on the whole等。

在文中遇到此類詞彙一定要做標記,考點也常常在這些地方出現。

 三、找到中心思想

一個句子、一段文章雖然能提供許多資訊,但它的中心意思通常只有一個。其它細節都圍繞這個意思,說明這個意思。要提高閱讀速度有一個最根本的要求,就是要找到並抓住這個中心意思。抓住了中心意思才能正確地理解句子、段落或通篇的基本內容。下面幾組詞,每一組都有一箇中心詞:

e fruit orange

al cat dog bird

n red yellow color

r table furniture couch

e profession teacher lawyer

段落的中心意思與句子的中心意思是類似的。一般有兩種情況:一種是表明的中心意思,另一種是隱含的中心意思。表明的中心意思常常用一個或幾個句子來表示,隱含的中心儘想需要讀者用自己的話去概括、歸納整篇或整段的含義。

要想在考試中在閱讀理解部分取得高分,首先必須學會尋找中心思想、抓住中心思想,特別是段落的中心思想。主題句的位置比較靈活,有的在段首。有的在段末,有的則居段中,但主題句在段首的比較多。例如:

As the sun went down , the scene from the bridge was beautiful, It had been a perfect day. Up and down on either side of NY the bright blue water lay gently rippling, while to the south it merged into the great bay and disappeared toward the sea. The vast cities spread away on both sides. Beyond rolled the hilly country until it was lost in the mists of the sky. All up and down the harbor the shipping, piers , and buildings were still gaily decorated. On the housetops of both Brooklyn and NY were multitudes of people.

主題句就是第一句。其他的句子只是細節,都是解釋、說明第一句的。

不論主題句在句首也好,在句末也好,都是用一個完整的句子表達這一段的中心意思的,在這一類的文章中,識別主題句進而抓住中心意思是比較容易的,比較困難的是識別、尋找隱含的中心意思,例如:

Tennis is not a difficult game to play , and you do not need a lot of equipment to play it. There must be two or four players. Each player should have a comfortable tennis racket. The players will also need some tennis balls. Of course, it is necessary to have a tennis court.

這一段的中心意思沒有用主題句表示出來,而是包含在這一段的上下文中,需要我們用自己的話進行概括、歸納。可以看出,這一段的中心意思應該是:Players need a court,rackets,and tennis balls。

四、正確處理閱讀中出現的生詞,提高閱讀速度

個別生詞不會影響我們對全文的理解,而且大綱中也允許有3%左右的生詞。對有些與答題無關的生詞一般可以忽略過去。如果有個別生詞影響了對全篇的理解和做題,就需要去猜測詞義。在考試中當然是無法求助於字典的,一般可以有兩種方法:第一是根據構詞法判斷詞義。這種方法需要認識大量的詞根,否則一切猜測都無從談起;第二種是根據與上下文的關係推測其詞義,生詞不是孤立的、封閉的,它所出現於其中的句子、段落都會提供很多的暗示和線索,其中最常見的上下文暗示或線索有以下五種:

1.同義詞或複述線索。在同一句子中使用另外一個詞,該詞與生詞具有基本相同的意義;或者,使用幾個詞來複述生詞的意義。例如:

下面黑體字與畫框的字意義相同:

woman found herself in a difficult fact her plight was so serious that she decided to get help.

dren often try to emulate or copy the behavior that on television.

2.比較/對照線索,一個句子可能包含有這樣一個詞,它與生詞具有相反的意義。作者有時使用on the other hand,however,although,unlike,yet和but等轉折語,提醒讀者注。意他要使用一個與生詞具有相反意義地詞語。

下面黑體字與畫框的字意義相反:

people like to walk quickly home after work,but I prefer to stroll home and look at the store windows along the way.

B. Although the doctor usually performed the operation nurse knew he had slipped when she saw the patient's blood pressure suddenly rise.

3.例釋線索。作者有時給出一些例子,指示或解釋生詞的含義。

請閱讀下列句子,並通過每一句中的'例子判斷黑體字的意義。

e was a kind of detachment about the old man's appeared as if he didn't care what you were saying to if what you were saying were of no interest to him.

a battle situation he always appeared calm and was this calm demeanor that earned him the respect and admiration of the other soldiers.

4.直接解釋的線索。作者有時擔心自己所使用的詞不易為讀者理解,於是就直接解釋該詞的意義。閱讀下列句子,找出黑體字的解釋語:

powerful poison was imperceptible when mixed in liquid;that is,it could not be tasted,seen,or smelled.

the shelf above him。the old man took down a phiaI,a small glass bottle used to keep liquids,and he placed it on the table in front of him.

5.經驗線索或情景線索。有些生詞可以根據它們所出現於其中的情景去理解;也可以結合讀者自己的經驗去理解。

閱讀下列句子,運用每一個句子所描述的情景去推斷黑體字的含義:

found himself on the first floor of an old,seemingly abandoned building,as he walked up to the second floor he could hear the old wooden stairs creak with each step he took.

was the first time Nancy had been in a big felt a little apprehensive as she walked out onto the so many strange faces staring at her

 五、跳讀法

跳讀法是略讀法的進一步發展。跳讀法就是讀的時候,頭腦中帶著問題,尋找問題的具體答案,採取跳躍、選擇閱讀的方法。一旦找到了問題的具體答案,便立即停下來,跳讀法也是快讀的一種形式。如果略去冗餘的單詞,文章所表達的思想並不受太大的影響。

用跳讀法做下面的練習,並迅速選出答案:

e________
