　　48. The enrollment of international students will have a positive impact on America rather than threaten its competitiveness.

　　解析：定位到I段第1句：Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation;

　　49. The way research is carried out in universities has changed as a result of globalization.

　　根據(jù)四級樣卷可知，全文共計9個段落，對應10題，這意味著必有一段對應兩題。事實上，從答案來看，其中有兩個段落分別對應了兩道題，有一個段落不對應任何題。

　　原快速閱讀的考試時間是15分鐘，原深度閱讀(含選詞填空+仔細閱讀)的考試時間是25分鐘，而調(diào)整后的閱讀理解(含選詞填空+長篇閱讀+仔細閱讀)考試時間是40分鐘，由此可推出新題型長篇閱讀的考試時間基本不變，大概15分鐘。

　　從樣卷來看，長篇閱讀主要考查段落信息匹配題。段落信息匹配題有4個特點：

　　1.絕對亂序：如第一個題干對應的并不是原文的第一段，而是第四段。

　　2.絕對同義轉(zhuǎn)換：如第49題題干中的“change”為E段首句中 “reshape”的同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

　　3.通常超細節(jié)：如第47題題干中的 “since the mid-1970s”, “3.9 percent”, 第50題題干中的 “twenty percent” 都是考查學生對數(shù)字這一小細節(jié)是否注意。

　　4.通常無特殊印刷體。

　　從這4大特點我們足以看出這類題的難度：絕對亂序意味著考生不能按“題文同序”原則逐一解題;同義轉(zhuǎn)換、超細節(jié)及無特殊印刷體意味著考生要費大量腦細胞去理解所讀到的每個信息，無法快速地定位!
