［评析］

本次四级考试作文难度适中，看得出来四级考试作文越来越和考研作文话

题接轨。例如本次考试的话题readingabiIity就和2023年考研写作一的大作

文读书话题不约而同。依据惯例，仍旧是“三段论”，最多不要超过四段，除非

提纲中有点明

字眼，否则标题可写可不写，但是写错肯定会扣分。写标题时，要遵

循写作格式，标题首字母和实词首字母大写，而标题中的虚词字母是小写的。

第一段仍旧是引出话题，阐明读书实力的重要性；其次段可以着重分析提升读

书实力的措施；结尾段可以来个对观点的总结概括。

［主旨内容］

快餐的上餐速度正在变慢。以麦当劳为例，自从15年前出现麦当劳之后，

现在是有史以来上餐速度最慢的时候。现在麦当劳从下订单到拿食物的平均速

度是3min9s,比之前多了lOsQQSR统计，其他连锁店如汉堡王也是一样上餐速

度变慢。因为食物种类更多，制作更困难，且须要更长的时间去备餐，所以快餐

连锁店的上餐速度正在变慢，但是速度和上餐的精确性对快餐店很重要。

seekers,application,jobopportunities,resume等，因此，对场景词的驾驭

对于考生读题听题帮助较大。考察问题的答案出题点符合篇章行文依次，尤其

是第一题和最终一题出题点，在开头结尾部分，考生比较好把控。

［评述］

选词填空的解题技巧第一步将选项依据词性分类这道题中考查名词7个,

动词5个，形容词2个，副词1个。因此将单词分类之后，我们很快把15选1

缩小到了最多是7选1,最少的状况是1选1。另外，名词通过简洁推断单复数

形式，动词通过时态和非谓语动词还可以进一步缩小范围。同样，细致阅读解

题的关键仍旧与我们强调的一样，找准定位，选项与原文内容一一比对，解除

各类干扰选项后，做对题目并不是很难。
