第一節(jié)(綜述)
² 原文重現(xiàn):原文告訴你選什么,你就應(yīng)該選什么,不能憑感覺和想象。
² 盡量少讀:六級(jí)更多的對(duì)點(diǎn)出題,而不是對(duì)面出題。
所有句子都認(rèn)識(shí),但不知道整段的意思。But, Yet, However 轉(zhuǎn)折連詞后面是重點(diǎn),??键c(diǎn)做題是要?jiǎng)澫聛?lái)。
六級(jí)題型:
1. 主旨題(Sum Up/Title)--看文章每段第一句(抓大放小,找最重要的,看每段的第一句),但是當(dāng)文章的段落特別多時(shí)不適應(yīng)。
24. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A) Advantages and disadvantages of automation.
B) Labour and the effects of automation.
C) Unemployment benefit plans and automation.
D) Social benefits of automation.
注:文章三段第一句都出現(xiàn)automation,兩段出現(xiàn)labour,因此這兩個(gè)詞是重點(diǎn),必然在選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)。
Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the "Second Industrial Revolution".
注:refers to 指的是(對(duì)前面的詞下定義)
Labour's concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.
注:labour 雇員(即employee)
concern [U]: (concern over/for/about sth./sb.) worry, anxiety
