职称英语考试阅读细节问题的寻找技巧2

　　当问题要求对某一事实作出正误判断或询问文中是否提到某一事实时，我们首先应大致看一下所给的选择项，做到心中有数，然后，根据选择项中提供的线索，迅速找到文章中相应的部分，细读有关内容。与文中内容一致的即可肯定，不一致的即可否定。注意，在回答Not True之类问题时，必须逐项找出须肯定的内容，方可确定要否定的内容。切勿一遇到自己认为不正确的内容，便匆忙答题，不再去考虑其他选择项，这样常常会导致错误。例二：Directions: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to the questioOne word that sums up our age better than any other ― whether “our age ”is “the technological age” of western countries or the “modernizing age” of China ― is the word CHANGE. But has change not always been present? True, but never before at such a breakneck speed. Today it is more than just change. It is unprecedented change. In such a world, reading provides the best tool we have for keeping up and for avoiding future shock in a world continually being remade.

　　Which of the following is NOT true?

　　(A) Western countries and China are being remade. 转自:考试网 - [Examw.Com]

　　(B) Reading will help understand our age.

　　(C) The present age and future world are continually changing.

　　(D) Reading is the best tool provided by our age.

　　(A)、(B)、(C)项均与文章中的意义一致，(D)不符。因为文中说的是“Reading serves as the best tool for us.”(对我们来说，阅读可以作为一个最好的工具。);而不是如选择项(D)所表示的那样：“Reading is the best tool provided by our age.”(阅读是由我们时代所提供的最好的工具)。所以，我们将答案确定为(D)。

　　三、在文章中，为避免重复提及某一词或短语，作者常常使用指代词(Reference Words)来代替。在寻找细节时，读者须准确理解被指代的对象。通常，我们可根据上下文的句子结构、主谓一致关系以及语义关系等来确定所指代的内容。

　　例三：The basketball team never lacked vociferous supporters, but they rarely responded to this show of enthusiasm.

　　文中they若是指高声呼叫的支持音，则与后面的意思(对这种热情很少作出响应)不合。因此they只能指球队队员。

　　例四：Scott Fitzgerald, who first introduced him to a publisher, was one of the few contemporary writers that Hemingway did not turn against.

　　文中him若指的是主语Scott Fitzgerald，则应该用反身代词himself，而不能用him，因此这里只能指后文的〖WT〗Hemingway.

　　在阅读理解测试中，要求查找主要事实或特定细节的问题常有以下几种形式：

　　1. Which of the following statements is (not) true (or correct)?

　　2. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?

　　3. All of the following are true except...

　　4. The author (or the passage) states that...

　　5. According to the passage, when (where, why, how, who, what, which, etc)?
