2.12月英语六级阅读理解关键句 篇二

在这次考试中,出题者保持了“稳中求变”的出题方向。“稳”主要体现在三方面:(1)文章选自国外知名报刊;(2)做题思路遵循以往传统,“关键词定位”和“按依次而下的顺序回原文定位”的解题思路贯穿整个解题过程;(3)题型比例基本保持不变,细节题和推论题占主导地位。而“变”并不是指难易程度上的变化,更多是出题者的考试理念的变化。此次阅读理解难度不大,但是考查更为全面。换言之,出题者现在的出题思路是“不求难,但求全”,也就是注重对考生语言基础的考查。下面我们就来分项解析,以期从中获得启示。

快速阅读

快速阅读选自《卫报》(The Guardian)上的“Bosses Say ‘Yes’ to Home Work”(2005年5月)一文,文章仍采用只设置大标题的模式,采用了选择题和填空题两种出题方式,从整体上看比较容易。考生可以采用“三步走原则”依次而下解答:

第一步:迅速浏览标题,了解文章中心,推断文章内容

文章大标题是“Bosses Say ‘Yes’ to Home Work” (《老板对在家工作说“是”》),一看到标题,考生很快就能联想到社会热点话题:现在越来越多的人选择在家工作。标题中的Yes一词也阐明了文章作者的态度是支持。

第二步:按照依次而下的顺序寻找答案位置

快速阅读通常以依次而下的顺序出题,而且几乎每道题都是细节题,分别对应文章中的一段,因此考生可以采用关键词定位的方法。例如:

第2题:From the research conducted by the communications provider Inter-Tel, we learned that ______ . (关键词是the communications provider Inter-Tel,定位在文章第四段)

第3题:What development has made flexible working practices possible according to Andy Poulton? (关键词是Andy Poulton,定位在文章第七段)

这次比较难的是第6、7、8三道题,题干中虽然有明确的大写人名Wright Vigar和Jack O’Hern,但是这两个人名在文中多处出现,需要通过题干中的其他核心词汇以及依次而下的出题顺序来定位。

第三步:正确选择和填写答案

虽然选择题和填空题的答题方法不同,但题目的答案基本上都能从原文中获得;选择题和填空题的唯一区别是前者提供了四个可供选择的选项,而后者需要在填写时考虑语法和书写正确。例如:

第10题:Single mother Lynne Hargreaves decided to work at home mainly to _____.

题中人名Lynne Hargreaves出现在最后两段,考生可以再利用二级定位词single mother定位在文章最后一段:“The main motivation behind adopting home working was to increase my own productivity, as a single mum to an 11-year-old.”根据句意,我们发现原文中的increase my productivity应为本题答案,但是这句话在文中是引言,使用的是第一人称,而题干采用的是第三人称,因此考生在填写答案时要注意人称与数的相应变化,最终答案为increase her productivity。

这次的六级快速阅读题目再次考查了主旨题(2008年12月曾考过),说明出题者越来越注重考查考生对文章整体内容的把握,这也对考生的浏览速度提出了更高的要求。因此,在平时的英语学习中,考生应着重训练快速浏览和理解文章的能力,而最为简单、有效的方法就是每天坚持大声快速朗读。

本次快速阅读的题目选项出现了大量同义改写,以前快速阅读题目的答案基本上都和原文保持一致,只要考生找到出题位置,答案基本都能选出来。此次快速阅读的选项同义改写和干扰选项增多,也证明了出题者加大了考查深度,这就要求考生平时借助仔细阅读多练习对原文句子的理解和对错误选项的排查能力。

深度阅读

简答题

本次简答题的文章选自《经济学家》(The Economist)上的“Just Shut Up, Will You”(2008年12月)一文,文章内容浅显易懂,主要谈论开车通话的危险行为以及相关研究试验,作者在文中提出自己的见解。本次简答题的五道题目均采用了填空题的出题方式,而放弃了问答题的形式。要解答此部分考题,考生应该分三步走:一是利用题干关键词在文中定位答案的所在位置;二是分析题干,查找缺少的成分;三是结合题干,填入符合语法结构的成分,使句子完整,并忠实于原文。不过这次的题目相对较长,平均每题达到20个单词,这就增加了理解难度,再加上题干中的关键词不够明确,并使用一些难词干扰,因此考生定位和理解的过程可能需要花费较多时间。例如:

第47题:Carrying on a mobile phone conversation while one is driving is considered dangerous because it seriously distracts __________.

题干中没有出现明显的提示性关键词,如人名、地名、数字或年代等,因此只能利用题干中特殊的核心词汇定位,如mobile phone conversation、driving等;而且,题干中还有一些难词干扰解题,如题干中的distract一词。其实distract和文中第一段末句(Even using a “hands-free” device can divert a driver’s attention to an alarming extent.)中的divert意思相近,但只有考生对这两个词都认识时,才能利用同义替换的方法顺利解答此题。本题答案为a driver’s attention。

第49题:Results of the experiments show that those who were making the equivalent of a hands-free call took __________ to react than those who were not.

本题关键词非常明确,即带有连字符的hands-free,用此词定位到文中“Those who were making an equivalent of a hands-free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not.”填写答案时需要注意到题干横线之前的took一词,它在此处表示“花费”,后面应该接表时间的短语,因而原文的形容词slower需转换成a longer time或more time。

▪仔细阅读

仔细阅读部分的试题难度没有太大的变化,两篇文章分别选自《今日美国》(USA Today)上的“Shortage of Primary Care Threatens Health Care System”(2008年3月)一文和《纽约时报》(The New York Times)上的“The Toxic Paradox”(2009年2月)一文。此部分在整体上仍然遵循先前的出题规律,以细节题为主、推论题为辅,没有考查文章主旨题和作者态度题,因此考生仍然可以采用“确定题型、关键词定位、依次而下、区域解题”的解题策略。下文我们以Passage One为例来讲解仔细阅读的解题思路和步骤。

第一步:浏览题干,推测文章主旨,确定题型,找到关键词

第52题:The author’s chief concern about the current U.S. health care system is _________.

第53题:We learn from the passage that people tend to believe that _________.

第54题:Faced with the government threats to cut reimbursements indiscriminately, primary care physicians have to ________.

第55题:Why do many new medical graduates refuse to choose primary care as their career?

第56题:What suggestion does the author give in order to provide better health care?

通过浏览五道题目,我们可以推知本文主要谈论的是美国的基础医疗系统,而且可以根据chief concern、refuse、suggestion等词推断出本文主要谈论的是基础医疗系统存在哪些问题以及如何解决。下面我们来判断各题的题型,并确定关键词:52题为细节题,关键词为U.S. health care system;53题为推论题,可以根据“依次而下”的原则回原文定位;54题为细节题,关键词为the government、threats、reimbursements indiscriminately等;55题为细节题,关键词为medical graduates refuse;56题为推论题,定位在55题的答案区域之后。

第二步:跳读文章,定位各题答案区域

在跳读文章的过程中,考生可以发现全文结构清晰可辨,第四段首句“How did we let primary care slip so far?”表明作者从现象阐述过渡到原因分析,而第七段首句“How do we fix this problem?”又清晰表明作者就如何解决问题提出了自己的看法。五道题目的定位非常明确,分别在文章第二、三、四、六段和最后三段中。

第三步:根据各题答题区域,对比选项,确定答案

在解题过程中,一定要注意每道题目都有独立的答案区域,各题虽然由中心思想这根主线串连,但是各题的答案之间一般没有交集。例如:

第52题:The author’s chief concern about the current U.S. health care system is _________.

A. the inadequate training of physicians

B. the declining number of doctors

C. the ever-rising health care costs

D. the shrinking primary care resources

根据关键词U.S. health care system定位在文章第二段:“Primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost. The U.S. takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.”这段话的关键词为takes the opposite approach,说明作者对此表示异议,同时此词组后面的by又点明美国的做法,选项D正好符合此处的含义。其他题目的解题思路不再一一列出。

总体看来,此次仔细阅读题目只要运用好顺序定位、细节题解题的原则,题目的解答并不是很难,但一定要注意排除干扰选项,去除错误的答案信息,有些选项在文章中确实出现了,但并不在题目定位的范围内。

在这次的深度阅读题目中,能直接运用关键词定位答案的题目减少,更多的题目要依靠依次而下的顺序原则,这就需要考生对文章有整体的把握。由此可见,出题者越来越注重考查考生对文章整体结构的理解,而有限的做题时间限制了考生的整体阅读效果,所以考生应该在平时的英语学习中加强对文章整体理解的能力,同时多涉猎国外刊物上的文章,熟悉外刊社论的论调观点、写作模式和语言风格。

本次深度阅读的题材考生并不熟悉,但是语言比较清晰易懂,文中没有出现难词,都是基础词汇。这也给考生提了一个醒:不要一味地记忆难词,而应该好好地掌握常用词汇;平时注意积累常用词汇,尤其是对近义词的积累,记单词的时候学会记英文解释。对于英语句子的同义解释和转换也是考生平时应该侧重锻炼的一项能力。

4.12月英语六级阅读理解关键句 篇四

Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A

26. [C] driven

27. [O] vulnerable

28. [E] malignant

29. [G] premises

30. [H] random

31. [K] temptation

32. [N] unique

33. [D] engaged

34. [J] spiritually

35. [B] closer

解析：

26题空格前的has been和后面的by fear，判断此处要填入一个动词的完成时，CD容易混淆，一般engaged会和in搭配，driven和by搭配，后面的题再经排除，可以锁定为C;

28题前后判断应填入一个形容词，修饰epidemic流行病的形容词应该是一个负面的词，排除可以得出E选项。

30题需要填形容词，person后的内容提到星巴克，地铁或电梯，这些都是比较随机的场景，也就是，缩小范围后定位到random符合题意。

32题根据前面的冠词an，判断此处需要填一个以元音开头的形容词，A和C符号要求，再看到32题后面to find new ways to，新的方式说明以前没有，目前是独一无二的，所以应该选N unique.

33 题看到介词in，此处是一个固定的短语搭配，找到可以匹配的engaged in

Section B

36. [E] It seems some people today dream that a cutting-edge new technology ...

37. [I] According to one great thinker, It is most unfortunate if we lose the ability to think differently.

38. [C] urgent attention should be paid to…

39. [K] Even in the fast-food nation America, the number of vegetarians is on the rise.

41. [H] It is obvious that solutions must be….

44. [G] It is human nature to cheris hopes for a better world.

45. [B] Technology has given us humans the power to change the natural world

解析：

37题干中的绝对词the most unfortunate可以帮助定位I段的the most tragic form, 以及该段出现的哲学家对应题干的great thinker

38题干的关键信息是ecological problems和comfortable life，定位C段中出现in search for comfort，段尾出现的各种环境生态问题。

39题干中的fast food nation America也可以快速定位到K段中间出现的相同信息。

42题干中的setback还有changing is possible，迅速定位到A段的相同信息。

43题干的关键信息at one stroke with，定位至F段出现的stroke，再浏览附近的信息表达的是相同主旨，即拯救地球并不是依靠科技能够一蹴而就的。

Section C

Passage One

46. [B] People’s reluctance to be compelled to eat plant-based food.

47. [C] Make them even more undernourished.

48. [B] Many people simply do not have access to foods they prefer.

49. [D] It may worsen the nourishment problem in low-income countries.

50. [A] It accepts them at the expense of the long-term interests of its people.

解析：

46题由题干中的“more visible”可定位到原文中的开头第一段。D选项是无中生有，这里并没有提到“eating habits”. 由“compulsion (强迫)”可以排除A，C选项。因为这两个选项中分别有“positive”和“preferences”两个词。B选项中的“reluctance”译为“不情愿，抗拒”，与“强迫”对应。故这里答案应为B。

47题由题干中的“in countries like India”可定位到原文第二段最后一句。A和D选项是无中生有。原文中提到“aggravate an already tense political situation”, B选项与此句意思相反。C选项是对“stress already undernourished populations”的同义转述。故这里答案应为C。

50题由 题干中的“the Indian government”可定位到原文最后一段。选项B与原文意思不符：原文倒数第二段提到”EAT-Lancet claimed its intention was to spark conversations among all Indian stakeholders”, 选项B的主语错误，非印度政府，故排除选项B。原文中并未提到营养专家的反对意见，选项C为无中生有。原文中最后一段提到rather than，译为“并非是”，是对D选项的否定。选项A中的“at the expense of ”, 译为“以…为代价”，由最后一句中的“danger”可知选项A正确。

Passage Two

51. C They constantly dismiss other’s proposals while taking no responsibility…

52. D A distinction should be drawn between responsibilty and fault.

53. A Stop them from going further by agreeing with them.

54. B They are prompted to come up with ideas for making possible changes.as

55. C Assuming responsibility to free oneself.

解析：

51题A项only太过绝对，且文中并没有提到对她们的治疗，或者她们憎恨谁，属于凭空捏造的信息;B项说这些抱怨的人一直找别人麻烦，文中也没有提到;D项说他们没有与人沟通的技巧，属于张冠李戴，是表层现象，真正的特质是他们一直逃避承担责任，给自己找借口。

52题根据题干定位到文章第二段的中间部分，A项违背主旨，作者认为婴儿被遗弃在门口虽然不是自己的错，但却是一项责任去照顾他，A项很明显不符合主旨;B项张冠李戴，原文说的是，在这种情况下，我们很容易把自己摆在不承担责任的角色，而不是B项的忽略他人过错的位置。

53 题是关于其他人如何跟习惯抱怨的人相处，一种应对策略，定位到第三段there’s an ingenious way to shut it down. 后面就是具体的办法。也就是当他们抱怨时，直接先肯定他们。而BCD三项只会让这些习惯抱怨的人接着滔滔不绝地继续抱怨。

5.12月英语六级阅读理解关键句 篇五

To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.

People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflects the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward” languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. An accidental language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this” and “that”); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.

This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all culture are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.

1.the language of uncivilized groups as compared to Western languages are limited in ___.

A.sound patterns

B.vocabularies

C.grammatical structures

D.both A and B

2.The author says that professional linguists recognize that ___.

A.Western languages are superior to Eastern languages

B.All languages came from grunts and groans

C.The hierarchy of languages is difficult to understand

D.There is no hierarchy of languages

3.The article states that grunt-and-groan forms of speech are found ___.

A.nowhere today

B.among the Australian aborigines

C.among Eastern cultures

D.among people speaking “backward” languages

4.According to the author, languages, whether civilized or not, have ___.

A.the potential for expanding vocabulary

B.their own sound patterns

C.an ability to transfer ideas

D.grammatical structures

5.Which of the following is implied but not articulated in the passage?

A.The study of languages has discredited anthropological studies.

B.The study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy among cultures.

C.The study of language is the same as the study of anthropologists.

D.The study of languages casts a new light upon the claim of anthropologists.

1. 我国人口老龄化现象日趋明显

2. 人口老龄化带来的问题

3. 如何妥善解决人口老龄化问题

Aging of the Population

Population officials and demographers have muchto worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion ofpeople aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century,people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population ― that means one outof every four people will be senior!

The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the onehand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families tocare for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline inworking force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to someextent.

The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption ofcountermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation.Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backwardsituation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.

Waste sorting is not a popular convention inour country, though it should be. Garbage bins filledwith all sorts of recyclable and non―recyclablewastes mixed together are seen everywhere. Peoplestill haven’ t formed the habit of sorting wastes.

The neglect of waste sorting will bring about aseries of problems. First of all, it causes a mass ofwaste of resources that could have been recycled or reused. Secondly, the growing amount ofmixed rubbish will take up a lot of space in the landfill site, which will worsen the land shortageproblem. Last but not least, it will increase the cost of waste treatment.

Waste sorting should be advocated, no matter from the perspective of economy orenvironment. Everyone should do their best by starting from daily life. More importantly, morecampaigns for waste sorting should be conducted to raise the public awareness.
