英語四六級閱讀技巧

閱讀方法和做題方法概括四句話：

1、掃讀題干關鍵詞 2、瀏覽原文作標記 3、比較選項得答案 4、迅速排除省力氣 其中核心是瀏覽原文作標記需要標記的地方：
1指示性的具體信息 如時間、人物、數字 、地點
2與文章結構有關的中心信息  包括：主題句 轉折詞（but  however yet出現這幾個詞的時候一般都會考到）

必須知道的技巧：

（一）答案項中有絕對語氣詞的一般不是正確答案項。這些語氣詞有： must， always， never， the most， all， only， have to， any，no， very，completely， none， hardly等。

例（1） One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that _____ ．
A．the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant．
B．people‘s traditional concepts about work no longer hold true． 
C．most people have to take part－time jobs．
D．people have to change their jobs from time to time．
分析：四個選項中，C、D兩項中都含有“have to”，語氣太絕對化，一般被排除。考生在剩下兩項中進行選擇，就大大降低了難度。
例（2）The main idea of this passage is that _____ ．           
A．better use of green space facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life．
B．attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities．
C．the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago．
D．priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities．
分析：B、D兩項中均有must be，語氣太絕對化，故一般被排除。考生結合短文內容在剩下兩項中進行選擇，命中率就極高了。

（二）選項中含有不十分肯定的語氣詞一般是正確答案項。這些語氣詞有： can， could， may， should， usually， might， most，more or less， relatively， be likely to， possible， whether or， not necessarily 等。

例（1）It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ．     
A．Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B．in many countries success often depends on one‘s social status
C．American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
D．businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America

分析：選項B中often 一詞，語氣委婉，不十分肯定，故為答案。而其它三項中所表達出的語氣都明顯絕對化。
例（2） According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that ——。
A．society can‘t provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates
B．high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education？
C．too many students have to earn their own living
D．college administrators encourage students to drop out
分析：答案項C中有have to，語氣太絕對化，故被排除。而A項中can‘t 的語氣則不十分絕對化，故為答案。
（三）選項中照抄原文的一般不是答案項，而同義替換的一般是選項。

例（1）According to Dr． David， Americans ．           
A．are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life
B．often neglect the unsequences of sleep deficit
C．do not know how to relax themselves properly
D．can get by on 6．5 hours of sleep
分析：答案項中A、D兩項基本上是原文中句子的原現，故被排除。B項中有often 一詞，語氣委婉，不十肯定，故為答案。
例（2）According to the passage， which of the following statements is true？
A．Future man will be made of silicon instead of flesh and blood
B．Some day it will be difficult to tell a computer from a man
C．The reasoning power of computers has already surpassed that of man
D．Future intelligent life may not necessarily be made of organic matter．
分析：A項句子基本上是原文詞句，C項中有already一詞，語氣太絕對化，故A、C兩項被排除。剩下B、D兩項，而D項中有不十分肯定語氣詞may not，故選D．
