  大家好,我是新东方大学听说读写拔高教师姚瑶。
  如果你现在正看到这行字并且不是误点了链接的话,相信你是一位需要通过全国英语四、六级考试的同学,恭喜你打开了这个链接。我将马上帮你分析一下怎样才能快速地在全国英语四、六级考试的仔细阅读部分抓取文章内容分布。
          "快速"到底是多快?这取决于我们拥有的时间和文章的难度。如下是仔细阅读部分的题目:
  Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
  大家可以看到在这一部分我们只有25分钟的时间去完成三篇文章,也就是说在留出1分钟时间填涂这一部分的答题卡之后,我们最多只有8分钟的时间去完成一篇文章,包括阅读和解题。
  第一个问题:你能做完吗?
  以2010年六月大学英语四级考试仔细阅读真题为例:
  Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
  Section B
  Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage Two (326 words)
  Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
   The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
   Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
  The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
  In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."
  Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.
  The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.

  第一遍,我们只需要看以下这些句子:
The $11 billion self-help industry is … But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study …
The study's authors …
In this experiment …
Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.
  1分钟内,我们就能读完,大家可以发现:除了第一段,其他各段我们都只看了段首很少的一部分。
  但是,我们已经掌握了这篇文章的内容分布,可以按照题目去找答案了。此话怎讲?
  首先,第一段首句中The $11 billion self-help industry is … 是主系表结构,主语又是含有具体数字的事物名称,所以"is"后面的表语90%会告诉我们这个具体事物名称的含义。而我们只需要知道此事物名称的含义内容在这里出现就可以了,有题目问到再回来看,没有题目问到就不用看了。
          接着,第一段最后两句But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking? 都为问句,都提到positive thinking。经验告诉我们这常常是在引出话题,这篇文章很可能就是讲positive thinking。
          然后,我们看到接下来几段的段首分别是:
  Researchers in Canada just published a study …
  The study's authors …
  In this experiment …
  这样,我们就知道文章中介绍了一个实验,并分三段介绍了实验结果 、实施者、实验内容,我们知道位置就可以了,有题目问到实验再返回具体段落看细节。
          剩下最后两段:
  Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation.
  The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.
  我们读完段首句知道了 positive thoughts 作用不大,片尾落到了接受自己的negative thoughts。
          这样,用了1分钟我们就完成了对文章内容分布的把握,剩下的7分钟时间我们可以有目的性的带着题目去我们已分析清楚内容分布的文章中对应答案。
          以第62题为例:
    62. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?
    A) It is a highly profitable industry.
    B) It is based on the concept of positive thinking.
    C) It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.
    D) It has yielded positive results.
  看完题目,我们注意到题干中的the self-help industry这个具体事物名称,我们刚才看的时候分析过它的含义内容就是首句is之后的表语。题目问我们从第一段对the self-help industry有什么了解,就是在问其含义内容。所以,现在我们直接来到"is"后面:(The $11 billion self-help industry is )built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed."这就是选择答案的依据。看懂这句话,就绝对不会错过正确答案。而到这里我们只用了1分钟。
          总结一下,包括定位答案依据,分析,选择正确答案,我们平均1分钟可以完成一道题。加上第一遍分析文章内容的1至2分钟,我们还有1分钟左右的时间可以分配给其中较难的题目或是其它较难的文章。
          我们的做法就是:
  一、 关注篇首第一段,但应依靠句型结构及语气跳过具体细节内容,节约时间。
  二、 关注每段的段首句或段首句主语,快速确定文章内容结构分布,为解题定位做准备。
  三、 带着题目直接返回文中相关内容范围,精确定位答案依据,选出正确答案。
          这样完成阅读,既能保证较高的正确率,还能高效利用时间,希望大家都能够掌握这种方法并多加练习。
          祝大家在考试中都能取得好成绩!
