英语六级阅读的难点及原因

英语六级阅读的难点及原因

一、考生感觉六级阅读的难点及原因：

1、生词较多

许多同学感觉六级阅读中生词较多，阅读时不得不花费大量的时间和精力去理解文章中出现的生词。确实，词汇量是任何英文阅读(特别是像六级这样的高级英文阅读)的基础。

但我认为六级单词相对于4级仅多了1200个。如果考生能充分掌握4级词汇，文章中出现的所谓的生词是不应该成为我们阅读的拦路虎。我们知道任何文章段落与段落或句子与句子之间都会有逻辑联系。句子中词的作用(尤其是形容词、副词或连词)就在于体现某种逻辑关系。考生完全可以通过体会句子与句子之间的逻辑关系猜出或体会出某种生词的指向范围或大致含义。因为六级考试阅读文章并不要求对"生词"释义的精确掌握--我们的目的是了解文章或句子大意。所以，只要达到这种效果我们就能掌握文章或句子的大致内容，完全符合考试大纲的要求。

2、难句看不懂

六级四篇阅读文章中必定会出现一些难句。也许难句中的每一个词考生都能看懂，但是整个句子却无法把握其含义。就其原因在于中国同学欠缺两方面的英文阅读能力：1、缺乏对英文语言表达思维习惯的适应；2、不能抓住难句的句子主干。首先，英文的语言表达思维习惯与中文有较大的区别。中文习惯主、谓、宾的句子结构；英文中却存在大量的倒状结构，再加上繁杂的插入语等复杂的语言现象对于习惯将英文翻译成中文后理解英文的中国考生而言无法对入中文的理解习惯，自然无法理解句子的含义。其次，无法从复杂的从句套从句语法结构中判断出句子主干同样会导致无法对入相应的中文语言习惯而最终使考生无法把握句子含义。

3、无法判断句子隐含意思

我们知道六级文章要求考生对原文的信息进行推断。换言之，就是从文章的原话中无法知道考生需要知道的信息。我认为这是源于考生在平时训练六级考试时往往忽略对文章推理方法的熟悉而导致的。任何隐含信息的推出都是基于原文提供的信息进行相应的逻辑推理得出的。考生如果不能进行有效的逻辑推理要么无法得出隐含信息，要么就会选错方向而落入命题者的陷阱中。

4、时间不够

我们知道六级阅读文章要在35分钟内读完4篇文章并且做5道题目，考生如感觉时间不够的原因无外乎三个原因：1、花在文章阅读的时间太长；2、无法快速地定位选项在文章中的定位(表现在不得不从新阅读、浏览全文或某个文章段落)；3、无法快速、准确的从四个备选项中判断出正确选项(表现在犹豫不决)。

二、如何准备六级阅读：

1、扩充词汇量

虽然六级词汇(特别是生词)在文章中能够猜出，但仍不能忽视平时词汇量的积累。我并不主张背单词书(效果级差，尤其对那些恒心、毅力不强的考生)。我认为考生应当首先扩充自己的阅读量--多找一些与六级阅读文章难度相当的文章。考生如果在文章中发现生词不必急于查找字典，而应体会生词在文章中的作用，达到熟悉如何在出现生词状态下去了解文章；最后再利用字典掌握生词的准确释义并通过其在文章句子中的作用去记忆生词的意思。当然，这需要一个不断循环往复的阅读过程。

2、熟悉六级阅读文章常用的语法现象

这个过程其实与我们幼年时学习中文的过程类似。无非是在阅读时体会、熟悉英文的表达习惯并建立一种对各类语法现象的条件反射。只准备参加六级考试的同学只需将历年六级的真题认真做完即可，最多再阅读一些考研文章。而将来准备参加更高等级英文考试的同学则需要多读一些具有说理性较强的英文文章。

3、熟悉六级文章推理思路

也就是希望大家在提高自己英文阅读能力的同时，注意提高自己的逻辑分析和判断能力。当然，并不是让大家去学纯逻辑学，而是学会通过六级文章的结构和英文的逻辑关联词判断出文章的潜台词。

4、学会对六级不同考试题目的理解：

不同的题目的指向是不同的，同时对考生的思维方向的要求是不同的。比如，考文章大意的题目实际上是考大家的归纳推理能力，而考细节的题目更多的是考察同学的英语阅读能力。有的题目只需在原文中找到相关定位即可，有的题目则要求我们对全文或者某一段落的内容全面掌握。我建议大家平时复习时可以自己去归纳总结或体会不同题目的不同做法。当然，现在也有很多培训机构会给同学们分类，大家也可以不妨试试(但是要结合自己的情况)。

总之，分析出自己的问题出在哪再对症下药，结合勤奋的学习，我相信同学们一定能将六级考试踩在自己的脚下。

Mr. Daniels needed to__27__ the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families.

大学英语六级选词填空应试技巧

大学英语四级阅读：选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章，文章中挖出10个空，并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空，有更大的解题难度，原因在于： 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一，选词填空第一题要十五选一，就算用到排除法，最后一题也要六选一，而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到，难度加大； 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性，只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答，而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性，解题时需要同时判断词性和词义，难度加大； 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态，统一形式，而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态，名词的单复数等的辨析，难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项，了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性：名词n，动词v，形容词a，副词ad，在每个选项后作词性的简要标记； 2. 精读全文开头，把握文章主题，并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位，利用前后文判 断每空的词性； 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文，含义通顺，时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时，一些经常考察的形式如下： 名词：通常来说，冠词(如a，an，the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词，即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。"， 举例说明：Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式，正确答案是nightmare，这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词，正确答案是strength，这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候，海洋温度上升，导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子：Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法，用句子结构来判断，前面一句话，husbands and children now do some of these jobs，这是一个完整的句子，主语husbands and children，谓语动词do，宾语some of these jobs；后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句，它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词，而定语从句的中心词是名词，所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法，根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断，横线处应该填一个名词，而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了，这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词：动词的考点很多，我们来看其中三种： 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明：He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里，主语是he，本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语，但是这里没有动词，而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers，这样这句话就缺少谓语动词，所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid，这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师，

2018年12月英语六级阅读练习题及答案（五） Everyone has a moment in history, which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person ―the world today‖ or ―life‖ or ―reality‖ he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed(释放的)emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. For me, this momentfour years in a moment in historywas the war. The war was and is reality for me. I still instinctively live and think in its atmosphere. These are some of its characteristics: Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the president of the United States, and he always has been. The other two eternal world leaders are Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. America is not, never has been, and never will be what the song and poems call it, a land of plenty. Nylon, meat, gasoline, and steel are rare. There are too many jobs and not enough workers. Money is very easy to earn but rather hard to spend, because there isnt very much to buy. Trains are always late and always crowded with ―service men‖. The war will always be fought very far from America, and it will never end.

2014年12月大学英语四级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧

2014年12月大学英语六级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧 需要指出的是，在一篇文章的阅读过程中，我们要根据不同的要求采用不同的阅读方法。总的来说，在正式考试中，阅读理解部分可参照下列步骤进行。首先用“快读”的方法浏览全文，以了解中心思想及大意。在此基础上，可根据要回答的问题，用“查读”的方法，或(查到文章中与答题内容有关的范围后)用“细读”的方法，来确定答案。回答问题时，可在文章中划出关键词句，以此作为答题的依据。全部问题答完之后，如时间允许，可再快读一遍全文，核实一下所确定的答题的答案是否符合全文的精神。 1. 快读(Skimming) 快读的目的是用浏览全文的方法了解文章的大意和主题思想，并对文章的结构有个总的概念。顾名思义，快读时，速度要快。一般地说，250字左右的短文要求在二、三分钟内看完。快读时精力必须十分集中，不必去记忆细节；遇到个别生词及难懂的词句，均应略过，以求对全文总体意思的了解。为了更好地抓住全文的中心思想，在快读时要留心文章中某些反复出现的词语，这些往往与文章的主题有关。快读时，还应特别注意文章的开始段和结束段以及文章中每一段的段首句和结尾句，因为它们往往是对文章内容最好的概括。 2. 查读(Scanning) 查读的目的主要是为了寻找文章中某些特定的信息。在查读时，目光要自上而下、一目数行地寻视与答题内容相关的词句，与此无关的内容要很快掠过。当回答有关who, when, where等文章细节问题的时候，用此方法我们一般都可很快找到答案，可以说“一查即得”。但是有些与文章细节有关的问题如：why, how等难以找到现成的回答，这时首先需要通过查读，找到文中与答题内容相关的范围，然后再用下面要讨论的“细读”方法，方可得出准确的答案。 3. 细读(Reading for full understanding) 找到文章中的有关范围以后，即在此范围内逐句阅读，特别对关键词、句要仔细琢磨，以便对其有较深刻、较准确的理解和掌握。不仅要理解其字面意思而且要通过推理和判断，弄清文章中“字里行间”所隐含的意思。在细读中，对没有学过的生词，可根

大学英语六级阅读理解及答案

Reading Comprehension for CET 6 Passage 1 In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia,one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train.One of the looters,Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan,suddenly notices the camera and snatches it.Am I in this?he asks,before smashing it open.To the dismayed reporter,Lawrence explains,He thinks these things will steal his virtue.He thinks you're a kind of thief. As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands,stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic.The ignorant natives may have had a point.When photography first became available,scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.But in some ways,anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.Up into the 1950s and 1960s,many ethnographers sought pure pictures of primitive cultures,routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress.They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties,often with little regard for veracity.Edward Curtis,the legendary photographer of North American Indians,for example,got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated,primitive,and unchanging.For instance,National Geographic magazine's photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures.As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic,the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white,middle-class American conventions.While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops,for example,white women's breasts are taboo.Photos that could unsettle or disturb,such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine,are discarded in favor of those that reassure,to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only kindly visions of foreign societies.The result,Lutz and Collins say,is the depiction of an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict. Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot.She read the magazine as a child,and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career.She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures,they should be alert to the choice of composition and images. 1.The main idea of the passage is______________. [A]Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values. [B]There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples. [C]Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales. [D]Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures,compromising the truthfulness of their pictures. 2.We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_________. [A]took pictures with the natives [B]gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands

We have probably all had ... 下面是我给大家整理的，希望对大家有帮助。 Laziness is a sin(罪), everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons rather than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想) may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating rescheduling their day.

I think games are going to be the most significant art form of the 2lst century, he says. It is, you might think, exactly what would be expected of someone introduced as a professor ofgaming. But Jenkins is much more than that. He is the director of a graduate program in comparativemedia studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, which also covers film,television and other mass media. Games are a significant but not the primary focus of theprogram, he says. Our approach has been to integrate games more fully into the study of media, rather thanapply them in one specialized field. The problem is that video games have yet to achieve respectability. They are often seenroughly of equal status with pornography (色情资料)，providing instant contentment for thesort of people no one would invite to a dinner party.Practically everyone plays video games,butyou may feel guilty if you are caught at it.

1 There was on shop in the town of Mufulira，which was notorious for its color bar. It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter，a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but，when their turn came to be served，were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing，and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside to see what would happen when I went in. I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard language that is only used by an employed when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The manager became exasperated and said to me in English，“If you stand there till Christmas I will never serve you.” I went to the District commissioner's office. Fortunately the District Commissioner was out，for he was one of the old school；however，I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine. He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that if ever I wanted anything more from the drugstore all I had to do was come to him personally and he would buy my medicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany me back to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did，and I well remember him saying to the manager，“Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council，and you treat him like a common servant.” The manager of the drugstore apologized and said，“If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was，then，of course I should have given him proper service.” I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a store…any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going to a European friend？I want to prove that any man of any color，whatever his position，should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted. 1.“Color bar” in the first paragraph comes closest in meaning to ___. A.a bar which is painted in different colors. B.the fact that white and black customers are served separately. C.a bar of chocolate having different colors. D.a counter where people of different colors are served with beer. 2.The writer was，at the time of the story，___. A.a black school teacher B.an African servant C.a black，but a friend of Europeans D.a rich black
