They think it will save time, but in most cases the result is contrary to their original intention. But in fact, when doing the reading comprehension of the first topic will not save tim

3、e, it will be a waste of time. This is because if you look at the topic first, whenyou read the article, your mind will be filled with these topics, then you can't concentrate. You will concentrate on finding answers to these questions, thus affecting the overall understanding of the article. Th

4、erefore, when reading comprehension, you should read the passage first and then see the topic. The following are some specific methods: in1.1, don't worry about the lack of time when you read the article, or you can't concentrate on the content. In reading the beginning of the article, you s

9、o on in the reading comprehension of the four grade English majors.Different topics have different answers, so it is important to correctly determine the type of questions. Here are someof the main questions: how was theThe main theme is to test the candidates of the whole idea ofunderstanding, the

13、, States, all, the, following, EXCEPTInThe deduction problemFor the examinee, the inference question is a difficult question.Because it is a test taker's ability to understand the implied meaning of the text.

17、mprehensionHow to quickly find the answer for theIn front we have narrated the question examination main type, in which the topic question is one kind of frequently test question type. Do theme questions, requiring candidates to read the article once again, can quickly sum up the article's carel

18、essness. But reflect different ways of the main idea of the article is different, such as someof the main idea clearlyreflected in the theme of topic sentence, and some of the main idea was to candidates through the experience between the lines and understand the content on the whole. Let's take

19、 a look at how to find out what the subject sentence is. TheThe gist or purport is the center of an article. The paragraph is usually in one sentence. This sentence is called topic topic, sentence. Other parts of the paragraph are specific to support and explain the main idea. Therefore, if you can

20、quickly find the topic sentence, and determine the paragraph of the main idea and details of the contrast, for the article or paragraph big access is very helpful.For example: theAs a rule, most of my dreams at night are pleasant ones. (c)Recently, though, I had a really bad dream. (a) I wasin an al

21、ley, dressed in light summerclothing. (b) Comingout of the darkness at the end of the alley were hundreds of large gray rats. Their razor sharp teeth glistened with saliva, and their eyes glowed red with a cold fury. I turned to run away, but attacking the other direction were a dozen pit bulls. (d)

22、 And these particular pit bulls were foaming at the mouth they all had rabies.; Just myluck, "I muttered, and did my best to wake up as the quickly as possible.After reading this paragraph, you can judge a, B, C, D, four sentences, which is the topic sentence? The answer is C. So why? The meani

23、ng of the sentence "a" is too narrow. It is about the author's clothes. It can be concluded that it is only a detail of the article. The meaning of the sentence "B" and "d" is toonarrow to generalize the paragraph. The really bad dream in the Csentence has a very wi

24、de meaning and can cover all the details of the nightmare, so it is the topic sentence.By looking at paragraphs, sentences and paragraphs, you can easily integrate them into the main idea of the passage.(four) in reading comprehensionPurpose: answer method of topic sentence in paragraph in a positio

25、n in the great shipAs mentioned earlier, the main theme of the passage or paragraph is often reflected in the topic sentence, which requires us to quickly and accurately determine the position of the topic sentence whenweread the article. In general the topic sentence appeared in the period of the f

26、irst theme, but in many cases will appear elsewhere in the text, for example, sometimes the topic sentence will appear at the beginning of the paragraph, sometimes in the middle, sometimes will appear in the section of the tail end is sometimes. The(1) the topic sentence appears at the beginning of

27、the paragraph.Some authors use love as a topic sentences, paragraphs or chapters such as: "Pain can cause aggression. When two rats in the samecage were given foot shocks, they attacked each other immediately. In addition, stronger shocks resulted in more violent aggression.Pairs of various oth

28、er animals reacted similarly. A stubbed toe or a headache has been known to cause similar responses in humans. "It is obvious that the author's main idea is expressed in the first sentence, and the other part of the paragraph is the interpretation of the sentence, so the first sentence is t

29、he topic sentence.(2) the topic sentence appears in the paragraph.Some paragraphs of the topic sentence before have a few introductory description of details, the first sentence of the main purpose is to arouse the reader's attention, the meaning of the passage and in front of the end link, or t

30、he theme background. For example: theEveryone has heard of accounts, salespeople and, lawyers. Buthave you ever heard of a kiss mixer or a belly builder Most jobs have common?R titles,but there are also manyunusual positiontitles. A kiss mixer for K, instance, is the person who mixes the ingredients

31、 for candy kisses. And a belly builder is the individual who assembles and fits the inside parts of pianos. "After reading, we can see that the third sentence is the topic sentence, because the first two sentences are to introduce the common work name and the name of the ordinary work, so as to

32、 arouse the reader's attention, while the third sentence gives the passage of the tenor. The(3) the topic sentence appears at the end of paragraph.See the example when the topic sentence appears at the end of the paragraph. TheA couple s daughter had just graduated "from college. So they we

33、re not surprised when a florist s truck pulled in front" of their house. However, they were surprised when they saw that the dozen red roses were addressed to them. The card read, "Thanks Momand, Dadfor, making this day possible. I could not have done it without your love and support."

34、; In an unusual switch f the graduate had given, her parents a graduation gift. f(4) the topic sentence appears in both the beginning and the end.The effect appeared in the period of the first paragraph topic sentence is given, appear in the section of the tail is the topic sentence of the first emp

35、hasis, for example:"Dental research on rats mayf lead to chocolate that s good for you. "In study researchers found r one, that rats who ate chocolate candy high in fat and casein got fewer cavities than those 71 percent who ate sugar or fudge alone. In a follow up study, rats were fed cho

36、colate candy that had an even greater amount of casein,牛奶蛋白。大鼠则几乎没有空腔的所有。因为这个研究，一个公司可能巧克力糖果对你的牙齿的健康发展。阅读理解（五）主旨题答题方法-隐含大意的查找方法不是所有的段落都有主题句。虽然很多时候文章或段落没有主题句， 但是这并不意味着它们没有主题大意，只不过这些大意不是直接体现 出来的，而是“隐含的"（暗示）。要获得这样文章或段落的大意，我们就得依靠文章或段落的细节描写来推测 出主题大意请看下面这段文字：。治疗打嗝的一个奇怪的建议是在纸袋里切一些洞，把袋子放在头上， 深呼吸。另一种方法是在

37、舌头上放一茶匙糖；当糖消失时，有些人声 称，打嗝也可以。有些人觉得摆脱打嗝的方法是用干净的手帕盖在一 杯水，然后喝的水通过手帕。如果这些方法都不见效，你可以尝试另一个奇怪的治打嗝：站在你的 头上，紧紧闭上眼睛，深呼吸，并背诵了 “玛丽有只小羊羔”。你会发现这段文字没有主题句，但是你可以通过问两个问题决定此段 的大意：的话题，是什么或者主题，段落的吗？换句话说，整个段落都是关 于什么的？要点作出有关的话题是什么？ 为了找到第一个问题的答案，我们需要看一下什么内容在文章中不断 地提及。通过阅读文章可知不断提到的一个内容是"打嗝的治疗方 法”（打嗝的治疗方法），由此可以确定这就是这篇文章的

38、主题 一旦你找到了主题，找到第二个问题的答案就简单多了。 可能的答案 是”有一些奇怪的打嗝的治疗方法，“这句话的意义非常地笼统，足 以涵盖该文中所有的细节。在考试时，考生如果遇到没有主题句的段落， 可以先利用上面的方法 将每一段的段落大意总结出来，然后将它们综合起来，就形成了整个文章的大意。细节题的答题方法细节题在英语专业四级考试阅读理解试题中所占的比例较大， 它主要 考查学生在掌握文章大意之后对文章细节的理解掌握。要快速准确地 解答细节题，考生需要掌握以下技能：(1)找出选项中的关键词(如名词、动词等 )。(2)根据第一遍阅读时留下的记忆或通过(如果记不住)扫视在文中找出这些关键词或它们的同

39、义词。(3)当你找到关键字或同义词时，再读一遍句子以确定出题者没有使用原来的措辞来误导阅读理解（六） 推断题的答题方法推断题又可称为隐含题，试题的答案不是文中所陈述的，而是隐含的 这类题在专四考试中也占有很大比例，它主要是考察考生对文章的理 解、判断、分析能力。In doing this kind of problem, should pay attention to find "hint" hints, through these hints, we can more easily get the answer. Please look at the example:A

40、twenty-eight-year old woman named Catherine Genovese was returning home from work one day. Kitty, as she was called by almost everyone in her Queensneighborhood, had just parked her car. Then a man with a knife grabbed her. She screamed, "Oh my God, he stabbed me Please help me Please help! Me!

41、"For more than half an hour, thirty-eight neighbors watched the killer stalk Kitty. The last time he stabbed her, she was slumped on the foot of the stairs to her apartment. Not one person telephoned the police during the fatal attack. Later, the policemen gathered statements from the witnesses

42、. Among their comments were, "I didn t" want to get involved, "" We thought it was a lovers quarrel "," and "I was tired. I went back to bed."Q: We can conclude that the man who stabbed Genovese LaA. was someone she knew B. intended to kill her * *C. was a con

43、victed criminal D. was the crazyTo answer this question, first of all, find the hints in the article. For example, do you have any evidence that Genovese knows the killer, or is he a criminal or a madman? And why did Genovese's killer keep stabbing her after she stabbed her?. The analysis shows

44、that B is the correct answer. Because if the criminal's purpose is just for robbery or something else, he can have done it long before she finally stabbed her. In addition, there is no evidence that Genoveseknows the criminal because the text only refers to "a man with a knife", and Ge

45、noveseneither calls his namenor witnesses say he knows him. In addition, there is no evidence or wording to suggest that the criminal is an escaped convict or a madman. So the answer is only B. The killer is trying to kill Genovese.(seven) in reading comprehensionHow to guess the meanings of new wor

46、ds in the great shipWhen you do a reading comprehension question, you will definitely encounter new words. If you look at these new words individually, you may not know where to start, but if you put them in a sentence, the situation will be different. Bilingual, for example, you probably don't

47、know. But if you see the following sentences, can guess the meaning of the word: "Rick is bilingual, speaking English almost as well as he speaks Spanish. "After reading this sentence, it's easy to guess what bilingualmeans to be able to speak two languages". TheFrom this we can g

48、uess the meaning of newwords through context, which is called context clues. There are four main types: the context clues(1) the Examples.Guess the meaning of the word by giving a specific example of the new word. Read the example below. The boldface is the clue. In addition, examples are usually gu

49、ided by words such as for, example, for, instance, including, and such as. TheIn our house, hangers have various functions. For instance, in addition to holding clothing, they scratch backs and hold up plants in the garden. "Functions mean in the LA.A. shapes B. problems C. uses D. tools "

50、According to the clue in the sentence "boldface", functions means "uses". The(2) the synonym of SynonymsGuessing the meaning of words according to context is the most frequently used method of guessing the meaning of words.Sometimes the author intentionally uses synonyms to help

51、readers understand the meaning of new words. In this case the general use of commas, dashes, brackets etc. leads, or useconjunctions or and that, for example:Affluent, or wealthy, Americans should be more concerned with the problems of the homeless. Mybest friend squandered all his money r r his dri

52、nking and gambling wasted; his earnings. "In the two examples above, because of the synonyms, we can easily guess that "affluent" means "wealthy", and "squander" means "waste"". The(3) the opposite of AntonymsAntonyms are also useful contextual clues

53、. Antonyms are generally derived from however, but, yet, on, the, other, hand, and in contrast. For example: theThe coach takes every opportunity to censure his players r r, yet he ignores every chance to praise them. Some teachers are too they have no rules f lenient in class and no real goals.I d

54、rather have a strict "teacher who took class seriously."The word "censure" in the first sentence means "criticism" because it has the opposite of "praise". Lenient means "kind and easy-going" because it has the opposite of "strict". The(4)

55、the semantic cueSometimes you can guess the meaning of a new word by other concepts or opinions in an article. Such as:The newlyweds agreed to be very frugal in their shopping because they wanted to save enough money to buy a home.According to the sentence, if the newlyweds want to save money, they

56、have to be thrifty, so they can guess frugal means "thrifty."".In(eight) in reading comprehensionThe other answer method and matters needing attention in the great shipFirst, brief introduction of other methods: answer questions "(1) in answer to an attitude / mood question, the

57、candidate should first check the wording in the passage. The author usually uses the adjectives such as tranquil, fragrant, peaceful and so on to express the positive meaning, and uses the words "stingy", "ugly" and "ruffled" to express the connotation of negation. When

58、 we talk, our tone expresses our emotions, such as frustrated, cheerful, critical, gloomy, angry, etc. The(2) when answering context conversion of the candidates questions should do the following three points:Corollary - if X is correct, then Y must be correct. TheUnderstand feelings - if the author

59、 feels this wayabout A, thenhe probably feels the same about B. ThePlace yourself in the author's position and assume. TheSecondly, when doing the reading comprehension of the candidates should pay attention to the following matters: the(1) the choice of some questions is very long. We must read

60、 it carefully and understand the differences of the options, such as the size of the concept and the depth of the conclusion. The(2) when answering questions, do not easily change the answers to the first passage when you are not very sure, for the first impression is often very accurate. The(3) English proficiency test four, after reading the test questions, there are five minutes of quick reading, pay attention t
