怎樣提高四級(jí)英語(yǔ)閱讀成績(jī)

英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀題在考試時(shí)是最好得分的客觀題部分，考前復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)，同學(xué)們也對(duì)這部分最感興趣，既然如此，備考階段怎能沒(méi)點(diǎn)準(zhǔn)備?下面小編為大家?guī)?lái)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀高頻考點(diǎn)，希望對(duì)大家有幫助!

一、特殊標(biāo)點(diǎn)處

1. 引號(hào)

1)尤其是當(dāng)引號(hào)表示著重強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)

如：

They are using fewer of the very deferential “women’s” forms, and even using the few strong forms that are know as “men’s” .

2)某人說(shuō)的話，能夠集中表達(dá)一個(gè)事實(shí)或觀點(diǎn)時(shí)

如：

"If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much." said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor.

例1(引號(hào))：Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction."

8. In one of the messages she posted on a website, Toebe admitted that she ______.;

【答案】had an Internet Addiction

【解析】首先分析結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本空所填內(nèi) 容是充當(dāng)that賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)，主句的admitted表明謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)用過(guò)去時(shí)。原文提到Toebe在雅虎的一個(gè)上網(wǎng)成癮群里發(fā)了一條消息，引號(hào)中的內(nèi)容為 這條小的的主題：“我有網(wǎng)癮”。由此可知，Toebe承認(rèn)自己“上網(wǎng)成癮”。故答案根據(jù)時(shí)態(tài)要求進(jìn)行修改為：had an Internet Addiction.

2. 小括號(hào)

小括號(hào)()中間加一個(gè)漢語(yǔ)注釋，非常容易引起大家的注意。此處就不贅述。我們還是通過(guò)真題舉例來(lái)看具體考察情況吧。

例2：(小括號(hào))The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she “treads softly (謹(jǐn)言慎行)in the world,” elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.

57. The first paragraph describes in detail ________.

A. the standards set for contemporary Japanese women

B. the Confucian influence on gender norms in Japan

C. the stereotyped role of women in Japanese families

D. the norms for traditional Japanese women to follow

【答案】D

【解析】考點(diǎn)出處是第一段的總述話語(yǔ)，它介紹了日本女性在說(shuō)話時(shí)使用敬語(yǔ)是女性完美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的象征，其后面幾句是對(duì)這種保守性別規(guī)范下女性美德的詳細(xì)描述，所以正確答案為D。

二、因果關(guān)系處

四六級(jí)大綱在閱讀理解部分都指出：測(cè)試學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀獲取書面信息的能力

常見(jiàn)表因果的詞語(yǔ)：because, why, the reason, for, so, since, as a result等。

同樣值得注意的是：當(dāng)why引導(dǎo)一個(gè)問(wèn)句時(shí)，考點(diǎn)出處往往是緊接著回答此問(wèn)題的句子或相鄰的幾個(gè)羅列點(diǎn)或相連幾段話的首句。

例：(因果)American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.

55. What is the author’s advice to Americans?

A. They treat the dollar with a little respect

B. They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble

C. They vacation at home rather than abroad

D. They treasure their marriages all the more.

【答案】C

【解析】面對(duì)美元貶值給美國(guó)人帶來(lái)的民族自尊上的困擾，作者給美國(guó)人提出建議：如果想要避免困擾，最好取消去英國(guó)的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而前往新英格蘭(美國(guó)的一個(gè)地區(qū))旅行。換句話說(shuō)，作者建議取消去國(guó)外的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而在國(guó)內(nèi)旅行。

三、并列邏輯處

除了最熟悉的轉(zhuǎn)折以外，邏輯關(guān)系還包含：并列、舉例、因果、遞進(jìn)等等。而緊排在轉(zhuǎn)折之后，并列相對(duì)在歷年真題中也是較多出現(xiàn)的考查處。

常見(jiàn)表并列的詞語(yǔ)：and, while(同時(shí)), meanwhile, also;

值得注意的是：兩個(gè)句子之間用分號(hào)(;)隔開，也表并列。

并列比較難以察覺(jué)，需要同學(xué)平時(shí)練習(xí)過(guò)程中就有意識(shí)地對(duì)這種邏輯關(guān)系進(jìn)行關(guān)注。下面結(jié)合真題，大家可以詳細(xì)的回顧一下。

例1：(并列)They weren't lookingfor cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking forwhatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantityover quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up withfood that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium orSpain.

53. Why couldn'tBritain compete with some of its neighbouring countries in terms of food in thepost-war decades?

A. Its food lackedvariety.

B. Its people caredmore for quantity.

C. It was short of well-trainedchefs.

D. It didn't haveflavourful food ingredients.

【答案】B

【解析】本段后半部分提到，這種只重?cái)?shù)量不重質(zhì)量的習(xí)慣持續(xù)了幾十年，這意味著一代英國(guó)人是被無(wú)法和鄰近的法國(guó)、意大利、比利時(shí)和西班牙相媲美的食物養(yǎng)大的。由此可知，英國(guó)食物無(wú)法跟鄰國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是因?yàn)橛?guó)人只重?cái)?shù)量不重質(zhì)量。B選項(xiàng)是對(duì)原文中“prioritisation of quantity over quality”的同意轉(zhuǎn)述。

四、轉(zhuǎn)折邏輯處

通過(guò)做歷年的四級(jí)閱讀真題大家也能發(fā)現(xiàn)，最常見(jiàn)的考點(diǎn)出處就是轉(zhuǎn)折處出考題。常見(jiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)聯(lián)詞有：but, however, yet, nevertheless, while(然而), on the contrary等等。下面結(jié)合真題，大家可以詳細(xì)的回顧一下。

例：I had waited tablesduring summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤雜工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deservedinferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to medifferently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that oneday I’d be sitting at theirtable, waiting to be served.

54. How did the authorfeel when waiting tables at the age of 19?

A. She felt it unfairto be treated as a mere servant by professional.

B. She felt badly hurtwhen her customers regarded her as a peon.

C. She was embarrassedeach time her customers joked with her.

D. She found itnatural for professionals to treat her as inferior.

【答案】D

【解析】作者19歲時(shí)在飯店當(dāng)招待員，對(duì)于不被顧客尊重，她的看法是“deserved inferior treatment”，即“低人一等是理所當(dāng)然的”。換句話說(shuō)，作者覺(jué)得有專業(yè)技能的人看低她是十分自然的事，即D選項(xiàng)所述。

例：A few months ago, itwasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online.She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites andinstant-messaging programs – leaving herbed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with thedishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her fourdaughters before she realized she had a problem.

51. What eventuallymade Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?

A. The poorly managedstate of her house.

B. The high financialcosts adding up.

C. Fatigue resultingfrom lack of sleep.

D. Her daughter'srepeated complaints.

【答案】D

【解析】本段主要描述了Carla Toebe因上網(wǎng)嚴(yán)重影響到生活，最后一句后半句通過(guò)轉(zhuǎn)折指出，是她4個(gè)女兒的不停抱怨才讓她最終意識(shí)到自己有了問(wèn)題(hada problem)，而這一問(wèn)題正是題干中提到的“spendingtoo much time on the Internet”。
