2015年6月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)備考筆記：長(zhǎng)篇閱讀篇

　　一、題型概覽

　　(一)背景和考試綜合

　　快速閱讀有兩個(gè)變化：一是位置發(fā)生了變化，由原來(lái)的Part II調(diào)至Part III里的Section B, 即由原來(lái)的單獨(dú)部分，變成了與其他的閱讀理解放在一起;另一個(gè)變化就是題目形式的變化，由原來(lái)的多項(xiàng)選擇題變成了段落信息匹配題。這一變化更挑戰(zhàn)考生對(duì)于文章的理解程度和信息定位的能力，應(yīng)該說(shuō)是加大了難度。

　　四級(jí)考試中快速閱讀調(diào)整為長(zhǎng)篇閱讀順應(yīng)了時(shí)代發(fā)展的要求。該題型主要考查段落信息匹配。在篩選信息的過(guò)程中，要求考生在把握文章整體的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)文章的一些細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行整理、歸納以及同義轉(zhuǎn)換。這意味著考生不僅要讀懂文章，還要對(duì)所掌握的信息進(jìn)行加工處理。

　　(二)文章特點(diǎn)

　　通過(guò)試卷可知，長(zhǎng)篇閱讀的文章長(zhǎng)度、難度、體裁、題材、題目數(shù)量、考試時(shí)間、所占分值等都不變。

　　(三)試題特點(diǎn)

　　1.題干中的細(xì)節(jié)信息往往反映文章的主旨和段落主題。通過(guò)快速地閱讀題干中的若干細(xì)節(jié)信息，考生可以迅速了解原文的主旨大意。

　　2.題干提供的細(xì)節(jié)信息中往往暗含一些說(shuō)明文或議論文所必需的邏輯關(guān)系，考生可以利用這種關(guān)系預(yù)先對(duì)一些表達(dá)進(jìn)行排序，這對(duì)于解答信息匹配題有著非常重要的意義。

　　3.提干提供的信息表達(dá)中通常包括如下三類(lèi)：能夠指示開(kāi)頭段的詞，如overview, introduction, initiation, main idea, definition 等;能夠指示結(jié)尾段的詞，如future, solution, conclusion, suggestion, summary 等;能夠幫助考生回原文定位的特殊詞，如rate, ration, proportion, percentage, number, figure, statistical demographics 等。

　　4.有些試題題干中的細(xì)節(jié)信息往往會(huì)和原文的其他某一題目聯(lián)系密切，考生可通過(guò)先解答原文的其他題目來(lái)獲得解答題目的線索和提示性信息。
