六级阅读在本质上依然延续着重对文章细节考察的这一传统。大家对于阅读题的普遍认识是有五种题型,分别为:细节题、主旨题、推断题、态度题和语义题。在2013年12月六级十道传统阅读有9道题都是以what 开头提问,考察对原文信息点的具体内容。毫无疑问,细节题应当是复习和备考的重中之重。不仅是2013年12月的试题如此,从历年的真题中,我们发现绝大多数的题目是细节题。这也就进一步证实,阅读题的考察重点是细节题的解题能力,笔者把这种能力归结为:查找加对应能力。也就是根据题干信息查找原文说法,对比原文与选项的能力。
建议做题步骤:
1)看题干,划出定位词。
2)看一题,定位一题。
3)对比原文与题干,找出异同或丢失信息,解题。
定位词一般为题干中的时间,大写,如人名,地名,书名,组织名称等以及除全文主题词之外的词汇
如:2013年12月六级考试阅读理解中的56题:What do we learn about new science Ph.Ds. in the United States today 大部分考生可能第一反映会回原文查找Ph.D.s的位置,可是回原文查读的过程中不难发现Ph.Ds 其实是全文的主题词,很难根据它去查找到准确定位句。这道题目其实题点在于可能大部分考生会因为拼写简单而忽视的today这个词,对应原文第一段第二行 But today, most graduates end up working outside academia, not only in industry but also in careers such as science policy, communications, and patent law。在历年真题中,跟时间相关的副词经常能帮助我们迅速准确的找到答案。这类词还包括now , nowadays ,recently 等,希望考生同学今后要重视这类看似简单的定位词。
再如2013年12月阅读的第 58. What was recommended for Ph.D.s and postdoctoral researchers.题干中虽然有大写的Ph.Ds,但本篇文章整个背景都在围绕博士和博士后校阅,因此PH.Ds会在整篇文章各处复现。通过这个词汇无法具体确定一个句子,在这样的情况,考生应注意只在本题题干独有的词:recommended和postdoctoral researchers。则可迅速找到原文In 2002 the U.S. Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology recommended that every postdoctoral researcher put together an IDP m consultation with an adviser.
