以下是小编收集整理的大学英语六级快速阅读与解题的有效方法（共含10篇），仅供参考，希望对大家有所帮助。同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“肉肉肉肉肉阿圆”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
一、题型揭秘
大纲规定本部分有两种考查题型，即判断正误题和单项选择题，每年从中选择一种题型进行考查。但需要我们注意的是6月以前快速阅读的设题方式为7道判断题加3道补全句子题，而月以来的真题中前7道均为单项选择题，后3道为补全句子题。从近几年的出题倾向来看，单项选择题更能够考查出学生快速阅读的能力和水平，因此单项选择题成为近几年快速阅读考查的主要形式。考生在复习时要对这两种题型都有所了解，在平时的训练中把重点放在单项选择题上。
二、解题步骤
第一步，略读全文，浏览大标题，分析小标题
浏览大标题的目的是为了对文章内容有大致的了解。而分析小标题则是为了把握文章的总体结构，了解文章内容的基本构成。如果阅读理解的篇幅较短，考试中可以直接用题目中的关键词汇定位，但是面对长篇累牍的快速阅读，考生首先应当留意文章当中是否有小标题。如果有，一定要先读小标题，因为小标题的作用如同目录，可以帮助考生宏观地把握文章框架，迅速寻找到有效信息的范围。
有时文章没有小标题，这时须按下列顺序浏览全文：第一段的第一句、第二句和最后一句——以下每一段的第一句——最后一段的第一句和最后一句。这种方法，意味着已经开始阅读，所以花的时间要长一些，但应该控制在两分钟之内。
第二步，仔细读题，划出标志词或关键词
标志词指的是专有名词(人名、地名、组织名、国名等)和数字等有标志性的单词，根据这些单词，我们可以对试题涉及的内容在文章中的位置进行快速定位。
如果试题中没有标志词，那么就根据试题中的名词、名词词组、动词、动词词组、形容词和形容词词组确定试题提问的内容，然后再确定试题在文章中的位置。
第三步，答题
在答题时，首先要根据标志词或关键词确定试题所在的部分，即在哪一个小标题下。如果文章没有小标题，也可以对试题在文章中的位置进行模糊定位。因为真题的出题顺序与原文的相关位置是一致的。也就是说，第四题答案的位置绝不会在第三题前面(但模拟题远非如此，所以模拟题较难)。因此我们答题时，不要一道题一道题地答，而要两道两道地做，前后呼应，能更好地定位。
三、题型分类及解题技巧
快速阅读对理解深度和层次要求不高，因此考试中通常只出现两种题型：主旨题和细节题。主旨题主要考查考生对所读文章主要轮廓、主要内容或中心思想等全局性问题的理解和把握;而细节题主要考查考生对细节问题如具体介绍、数字、步骤等局部性内容的理解。
1.主旨题的解题技巧
根据英文文章的写作特点，解答快速阅读的主旨题时要注意以下几点：
(1)快速阅读文章第一、二段，抓住文章大意、背景和作者风格，因为作者一般会在文章开头几段概述全文;
(2)快速浏览找出每段的中心句和几件事实，抓住一两个关键词，如果文中段落大意没有用一句话总结，就自己归纳出大意，在可能蕴含全文主旨的部分进行仔细阅读;
(3)注意转折词和序列词，有助于我们了解文章的脉络。
用于快速阅读的文章，在通常情况下每个小部分会有一个小标题，这样对考生迅速阅读文章并掌握文章的主旨大意非常有帮助，考生要善于利用这一点。另外，因为文章和段落结构通常遵守某种体裁的结构模式，因此在快速阅读时，并不需要每句话都仔仔细细地阅读。
2.细节题的解题技巧
快速阅读文章后面的10道试题中大部分都是细节题，因此对细节题的解题技巧要熟练掌握。
(1)首先，确定自己要找的信息。在阅读文章之前，目光快速扫描一遍后面的题目;
(2)其次，了解文章的信息分布。可查读各章节小标题进行定位，确定可能含有所需信息的部分;
(3)最后，找出所需的具体信息。在已经定位的区域，快速阅读直至锁定答案。
01考查方式
大学英语六级长篇阅读题，是以信息匹配的形式进行考查。采用1篇较长篇幅的文章(六级约1200词);在文章后面附有10个句子，每句一题，共10道题;每句所含的信息出自 篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。
按百分制的卷面分计算，每题1分，本题共10分。长篇阅读题，建议用时13分钟左右。
长篇阅读的文章体裁通常是议论文或说明文，题材包括文教、生活、政经等，来源于主流的英美报刊杂志(例如: Newsweek《新闻周刊》, The Guardian《卫报》, The New York Times《纽约时报》，Time《时代周刊》等)。
需要特别注意的是：六级长篇阅读题，有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。考卷里的Directions有提到这一点。
02常见丢分原因
原因1:为长篇阅读的文章很长，有些考生会直接默认为这个题型特别难，有的甚至选择放弃本题。
原因2:有些考生是因为答题步骤不科学而导致花费大量时间和精力，答题效率低下。
原因3:有些考生是因为没掌握长篇阅读题的答题技巧而丢分。
原因4:有的考生是因为词汇不过关，看不懂英语文章，甚至连一些题目也看不懂。
03题型特点
1.长篇阅读文章有两种，一种有小标题，另一种没有小标题。近几次考试选用的多是没有小标题的文章。
2.长篇阅读题的出题顺序是乱序，不遵循“顺序原则”。这一点与仔细阅读题、词汇理解题很不同。
3.题目给出的信息都是文中的细节，多数是对原文信息的重现、改写，少数是对原文信息的概括。
04答题步骤
长篇阅读文章偏长，所以不建议逐字逐句读完文章之后再去看题做题。这样会浪费大量的时间和精力，而且在看题目时早已忘了在文章哪里出现过相关信息，从而导致答题效率低下。
考生宜采用以下四个步骤来解答长篇阅读题:
Step 1:快速浏览文章标题和首尾两段，了解文章主题。
Step 2:通读文章后面的题目，可以用笔分别标出每题的(定位)关键词。
Step 3:带着题目中的关键词浏览文章，并定位答题关键处。
Step 4:重点阅读答题关键处，分析得出答案。
05备考策略
做长篇阅读题，如果想获得高分，一定要懂得“定位查找”及“核对信息匹配度”这两种非常重要的答题技巧。
策略1:学会定位查找
定位查找，是指先在题目中找出定位关键词(用笔标出来)，了解题目大意;之后，带着这些关键词去文章中寻找大致匹配的内容，做标记。
题目中可以用作定位关键词包括：数字、时间、人名、地名、书名、机构名、专有名词、合成词、较长较复杂的名词、表特定概念的词、固定动词搭配、普通实词等。
有一点需注意：不要把表达文章中心思想的主题词用作定位关键词，因为文章里会多次、反复出现，不利于快速定位。
策略2:核对信息匹配度
阅读文章时，没必要读懂每一句，主要是对关键信息进行精读、分辨。
定位查找后，要核对题目是否与文章相应的内容信息匹配。可以利用“同义替换”原则进行快速判断。
如果有个别单词看不懂，可以借助上下文语境或是利用词根词缀法来推测词义。
策略3:平时要做限时训练
平时做长篇阅读题时，一定要限制答题时间，建议用时13分钟左右。
平时限时多练，争取提高快速定位及核对信息是否匹配的能力，考试时才能更轻松应对。
策略4:需掌握考纲词汇
词汇不过关的同学，一定要把词汇的缺口及时补上，要记住六级考纲词汇。
俗话说，巧妇难为无米之炊。词汇量如果严重不过关，那就没法看懂文章和题目，没法答题。总不能所有题目都只靠蒙来解答，对吧?

英语六级考试必读文章
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
翻译：梦想的力量
别人看你的眼睛时,他应当体会到你内心的活力。怀揣梦想就像是拥有一座你前行的灯塔。
每个转折关头,它给我们带来奇迹。每个新的起点,我们脱胎换骨,焕然一新。孤独中我们挺过失望的阴霾,发觉我们的信念不曾动摇,我们的力量依然强大。
秉持信念,期盼未来。许下你比较真诚的梦想,一旦机会来临,就为之拼搏。也许要花一季甚或更多的时间,但结局不会改变。立大志,倾全力,成现实。前途未卜,有一步一个脚印,梦想者的至高希冀才会实现。我们必须珍存梦想,给它一季的保护,让它在内心悄然生发。然而我们还得温柔呵护我们内心至深的期许,慢慢地梦想必将成就新的生命。
梦想是实现信仰的第一步。你的希望熠熠光辉,它会驱逐不信的阴影。上帝赋予我们梦想的天资,去点亮不曾确信的世界。让梦想的财富寄于心中,珍爱它,明天正等着你跨出第一步。
学习，就象是一场战争，有时你觉得在这拼命撕杀的战场上，你是孤独与无助的，但你殊不知，你其实并不是孤身奋战的!好了，到了这里，关于英语100字励志小短文精选这个问题学好网董刀就为大家介绍到这里了，若还有更多疑问，可以点击右下角咨询哦!
英语六级考试文章
That must be the story of innumerable couples，and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.It reminds you of a placid rivulet，meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees，till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm，so silent，so infifferent，that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature，strong in me even in those days，that i felt in such an existence，the share of the great majority，something amiss.
I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness，but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.
I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous，shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.
查读是以某个细节的关键词为目标，目光很快地扫过文章，直到发现与问题有关的文字，迅速锁定答案。
在回答细节题目的时候(也就是我们通常所说的五个“W”和一个“H“，即What，Who，When，Where，Why，How)，查读的效率之高就突显出来了。
这种有选择性的阅读，特点是“带着问题找答案”，也就是说，在阅读文章之前就已经明白要回答什么样的问题，要找出什么方面的信息，然后带着这些问题进行阅读，在文章中找出某些具体的事实和信息。就像我们查电话号码本一样，可以根据被查询者姓名的开头字母，按字母顺序快速找出电话号码。
这种“带着问题找答案”的方法，关键点就在于要熟悉不同体裁文章中信息的分布特点，就像查电话号码本一样，必须首先了解它是按照字母顺序编排的。否则，如果我们不熟悉这种信息的分布特点，那就很难快速地找到所需信息。
因此，在运用查读技巧的时候，可以遵循以下步骤：
大学英语六级查读步骤
a.首先，确定自己要找的信息：在阅读文章之前，目光快速扫描一遍后面的题目;
b.其次，了解文章的信息分布：可查读各章节小标题进行定位，确定可能含有所需信息的部分;
c.最后，找出所需的具体信息：在已经定位的区域，快速阅读直至锁定答案。
所谓略读，顾每思义是一种省略的读法。略读，能够让你以最快的速度阅读，选择性地遗漏某些细节内容，目的是获得文章的主旨大意。
在回答主旨题目的时候，略读就能派上用场。不仅如此，进行略读有助于我们了解文章的大意、作者的观点，这样对我们做推论题也大有裨益。
总之，在采用略读方法的时候，往往能够帮助我们确定：文章的主题和作者的观点(属于主旨题)，文章的结构和作者的风格(属于推论题)。
而在略读时，可以遵循以下步骤：
大学英语六级略读步骤
a.快速阅读文章第一、二段，抓住文章大意、背景和作者风格，因为作者一般会在文章开头几段概述全文;
b.快速浏览找出每段的中心句和几件事实，抓住一两个关键词，如果文中段落大意没有用一句话总结，就自己归纳出大意，在可能蕴含全文主旨的部分进行仔细阅读;
c.注意转折词和序列词，有助于我们了解文章的脉络;
d.省略不必要的细节内容，从而追求最快的略读速度。
快速阅读题不仅需要我们通过查读方法来回答细节题，同时也需要我们运用略读方法回答主旨题和推论题。因此，我们必须将略读和查读步骤统一起来，综合使用。归纳起来，应有以下步骤：
a. 略读文章前一、二段和各小标题，归纳出文章的主旨;(原略读第一步)
b.目光快速扫描一遍文后题目，回答主旨题，确定其他题目关键词;(原查读第一步)
c.根据关键词，查读各章节小标题，定位可能含有所需细节信息的部分;(综合原查读和略读第二步)
d.快速通读已经定位的段落，找出与题目相关的句子确定答案;(原查读第三步)
e.对蕴含全文观点的段落进行细读，判断作者态度并进行逻辑推理，完成推论题。
现在就以最新样题中的快速阅读题为例，分析如何在答题步骤中综合运用这两种技巧。
出题顺序与原文顺序一致。因此，考生在做题时，可以按题号顺序做题， 依次在文中寻找答案。下一题的答案一般都在上一题的答案之后出现。从题目类型看，在做快速阅读的时候，需要注意一些做题细节，同时还必须避免一些误区。
英语六级考试需要注意的6个细节
1) 对号入座
短句填空题：依据题目中的关键词，在原文中找答案。大多数情况下，题.目的句子结构与原文句子结构几乎一样，只要确定了关键词，就能快速定位答案。但有些情况，如题目改变单词词性或者句子结构作了调整(如动词变形容词，状语成分变成定语从等)，这对我们定位答案并无太大影响，只要确定其在文中的位置，也能获得答案。在做短句填空的时候，一定要注意填数字的题目别忘了带上单位，比如“￥，$，mile， F， C，km/h”等。
2) 必须以原文为依据
切记：原文是我们答题时的唯一判断依据。不能凭空猜想或借助自己已有的知识。 这一点在区分N还是NG时显得格外重要，考生经常在这里失分。就算自己的知识储备相当全面，但是原文中没有提及，也只能回答NG，而不是N。
3) 注意修饰性词汇
在回答细节题的时候，题目经常会使用修饰性的词汇。最常见的有：both，only，all，never，always，usually，等等。在时间有限的压力下，考生们经常会匆匆掠过答案所在的段落，来不及仔细分析其中的确切含义。
4) 不要过度推断
过度推断的情况，大多出现在回答主旨题和推论题的时候。因为这两类题目需要考生在原文基础上适度地思考推理，才能得出正确答案。而考生经常掌握不好这个“度”，要不就是推错了方向，要不就是推理得太深，导致该回答Y的时候，错答成了N。
5)平时训练
在平时训练快速阅读时，除了灵活运用查读和略读技巧之外，还要有意识地训练自己的短期记忆能力和眼睛移动的技能。由于我们需要“带着问题找答案”，所以要靠短期记忆记住题目或题目关键词，进行阅读。如果我们短期记忆不够好，阅读完了又忘了题目，再去看题定位，速度没有了，准确度更是谈不上了。
6) 避免错误情况
在进行快速阅读时，有些错误情况需要避免。如：边看边读出声音;边看边用笔指着;心里默念;逐字阅读等。这些错误方法都会影响我们的阅读速度。
新GRE阅读快速解题方法
GRE阅读做题第一步：解剖文章的第1段
积极主动地解读文章的第1段，阅读时尽量记住作者提出的问题(现象或观点)，和一些关于文章内容的概念和词汇，如这篇文章讲的是生物化学，日本企业文化还是黑人运动。文章的论题是什么，作者想说什么?
GRE阅读做题第二步：在脑子里面形成一个作者思路图
在脑子里或者在草稿纸上画一个文章的结构思路题。各个段落的目的是什么，主题又是什么?再次提醒，GRE考察的是你的答题能力而非阅读能力。你不必完全掌握整篇文章，了解文章中的每一个细节。(其实，你也没有那么多时间)。相反，你应该只读文章段落的第1句，而快速浏览其余部分。当你“读”完这篇文章时，你就能对文章的结构思路有总体的把握。
GRE阅读做题第三步：通览文章时，留意语气词和过渡词
在快速阅读文章时，特别留意段落开头或者结尾可能出现的语气词和过渡词。这样做有助于你对作者思路的把握，从而快速掌握文章大意。
GRE阅读做题第四步：停下来，总结一下文章大意
在回答问题前，花几秒钟总结一下文章的思路和主题。
GRE阅读做题第五步：开始答题
根据你对文章的整体思路来答题。将问题(或选项)定位到文章中具体的某个段落甚至具体的句子。这里，你可以比第3个步骤更仔细。
新GRE逻辑阅读
1. The university's constitution defines the powers of two governing bodies.The general council, which currently retains authority over constitutional matters, consists of all the university's living alumni.The twenty-member senate decides routine matters by majority vote.A new proposal suggests making a unanimous vote in the senate sufficient to change the constitution. If the statements above are true, which of the fol- lowing must follow on the basis of them?
(A) The proposal will take effect only if it receives the senate's unanimous support.
(B) Currently each member of the senate has power of veto over any proposal that comes before that body.
(C) Adopting the proposal would allow passage of constitutional changes without the general council's approval.
(D) Any of the university's alumni can fill any one of the twenty seats on the senate.
(E) Adopting the new proposal would increase the voice of the alumni in the conduct of university affairs.
2.Comparison of the growth rings of ancient trees enables scientists to determine from a piece of tim-
ber the year in which the tree used for the tim- ber was felled.Hence, by analyzing the growth rings in timber surviving from ancient buildings, archaeolo- gists can determine precisely when those buildings were constructed. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The timber used for construction purposes in ancient times was made from very old trees.
(B) The timber that was used in ancient building construction had not, prior to being used in the
construction of the buildings, lain unused for an indeterminable amount of time.
(C) The growth rings of any tree felled in a given year are identical to the growth rings of any other tree felled in that year.
(D) The oldest of the ancient buildings that survive to the present day were constructed of the most
durable woods.
(E) Ancient builders did not use more than one type of wood for the construction of a given
building.
3.Color-tinting of movies originally photographed in black-and-white is inappropriate.Hundreds of the original artistic choices would have been made differently had these movies been filmed in color. Lighting on the sets of these movies was arranged to make highlights and shadows look right in black-and-white. Which of the following claims, if substituted for the claim about the lighting of movie sets, would lend the same type of support to the argument above?
(A) An important part of what gives these movies their identity is the result of the black-and- white format.
(B) Color film would have better captured the film- makers' intentions.
(C) Color film is superior to black-and-white film for making movies.
(D) Makeup for the actors was applied so as to look best in black-and-white films.
(E) The choice of black-and-white film over color film is entirely a matter of taste.
4.In Borkland, university scholarship stipends worth $4.2 million were unclaimed last year because several scholarship programs attracted no applicants who met the programs' qualifying criteria.This is an egregious waste of funds in a country where thousands of promising students each year cannot afford tuition.Qualifying criteria for those scholarships, therefore, should be revised. Which of the following, if true about Borkland, most strongly supports the conclusion drawn above?
(A) Many scholarships are unclaimed not because their qualifying criteria are too restrictive but because the scholarship programs rarely announce the scholarships' availability.
(B) Because of inflation, the stipends offered by certain scholarship programs now appear less attractive to potential applicants than they did when they were first offered.
(C) A significant number of scholarship programs awarded all of their available scholarship stipends last year, yet most of those programs have very restrictive qualifying criteria.
(D) Certain scholarship programs accept applications only from students enrolled in specific major fields of study, but Borkland's universities no longer offer courses in the fields specified by many of those programs.
(E) Several scholarship programs have found it impossible to revise their qualifying criteria without engaging in lengthy and costly legal proceedings.
5.In Diersville the new Environmental Action party won two seats on the seven-member town council in 1988.It lost both of those seats in the 1992 election, even though the party's pro-environment platform had essentially remained unchanged.This decline in the party's fortunes clearly demonstrates that in Diersville environmental concerns faded in significance between 1988 and 1992. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) Between 1988 and 1992, the number of eligible voters in Diersville rose, but not the percentage who actually voted.
(B) Between 1988 and 1992, Diersville's leading political party revised its platform, adopting a strongly environmentalist stance.
(C) The parties that ran candidates in the 1992 elec- tion in Diersville were the same as those that had done so in the 1988 election.
(D) In 1992 the Environmental Action party won fewer votes in Diersville than it had won in 1988.
(E) Between 1988 and 1992, some measures intended to benefit the environment had been adopted by the town council, but with inconclusive results.
6.The United States is not usually thought of as a nation of parakeet lovers.Yet in a census of parakeet owners in selected comparable countries, the United States ranked second, with eleven parakeet owners per hundred people.The conclusion can be drawn from this that people in the United States are more likely to own parakeets than are people in most other countries. Knowledge of which of the following would be most useful in judging the accuracy of the conclusion?
(A) The number of parakeets in the United States.
(B) The number of parakeet owners in the United States.
(C) The number of parakeet owners per hundred people in the country that ranked first in the census.
(D) The number of parakeet owners in the United States compared to the numbers of owners of other pet birds in the United States.
(E) The numbers of parakeet owners per hundred people in the countries not included in the census.
7. Until 1984 only aspirin and acetaminophen shared the lucrative nonprescription pain-reliever market. In 1984, however, ibuprofen was expected to account for fifteen percent of all nonprescription pain-reliever sales.On that basis business experts predicted for 1984 a corresponding fifteen percent decrease in the combined sales of aspirin and acetaminophen. The prediction mentioned in the last sentence above was based on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Most consumers would prefer ibuprofen to both aspirin and acetaminophen.
(B) Aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen all relieve headache pain and muscular aches, but aspirin and ibuprofen can also cause stomach irritation.
(C) Before 1984 ibuprofen was available only as a prescription medicine.
(D) The companies that manufacture and sell aspirin and acetaminophen would not also manufacture and sell ibuprofen.
(E) The introduction of ibuprofen would not increase total sales of nonprescription pain reliever.
8. New regulations in Mullentown require manufac- turers there to develop five-year pollution-reduction plans. The regulations require that each manufacturer develop a detailed plan for reducing its released pol- lutants by at least 50 percent. Clearly, the regulations will not result in significant pollution reduction, how- ever, since the regulations do not force manufacturers to implement their plans. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?
(A) Mullentown's manufacturing plants are not the only source of pollution there.
(B) Detailed plans would reveal that measures to reduce released pollutants would also reduce manufacturers' costs for materials, waste disposal, and legal services
(C) Pollutants that manufacturing processes create but that are not released directly into the environment must nonetheless be collected and prepared for disposal
(D) Any reductions in pollutants released from Mullentown's manufacturing plants would not be noticeable for at least five years.
(E) Each manufacturer will be required to submit its plan to a committee appointed by Mullentown's officials.
9. To produce seeds, plants must first produce flowers. Two kinds of tarragon plants, Russian tarragon and French tarragon, look very similar except that Russian tarragon produces flowers and French tar- ragon does not. The leaves of Russian tarragon, however, lack the distinctive flavor that makes French tarragon a desirable culinary herb If the information presented is true, which of the fol- lowing can most reliably be concluded on the basis of it?
(A) As a decorative plant, French tarragon is more desirable than Russian tarragon.
(B) The flowers of Russian tarragon plants are prob- ably not flavorful.
(C) Plants that grow from seeds sold in a packet labeled ”tarragon“ are not French tarragon.
(D) There are no other kinds of tarragon besides Russian tarragon and French tarragon
(E) Garden plants that have flavorful leaves generally do not produce flowers.
10. In the United States, the financing of industrial research by private industrial firms remained steady as a percentage of sales during the period between 1968 and 1978 (after correcting for inflation). But slowdowns in the growth of industrial productivity also occurred during that period, a fact that refutes the notion that the growth of industrial productivity is directly proportional to the amount invested in industrial research.Which of the following, if true for the United States,most weakens the argument above?
(A) Federal funds, which constituted a significant portion of the support for industrial research from 1968 to 1978, fell annually and substan- tially during that period.
(B) The inflation that occurred between 1968 and 1978 was more severe than leading economists had expected.
(C) Industrial executives generally favor investing an appreciably larger portion of corporate funds in short-term product development than in basic research.
(D) The scientists and engineers who worked in industry from 1968 to 1978 were, as a group,more experienced in their jobs than were those who worked in industry during the previous ten-year period.
(E) Corporate financing of industrial research increased in several of the years immediatelyfollowing 1978 (after correcting for inflation)
11.A group of paintings made approximately 15,000 years ago in a cave in the Loire River valley in what is now France depicts a number of different animals. One of the animals depicted seems to resemble the chiru, a rare antelope of the Himalayas.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the hypothesis that in painting the animal that resembles a chiru the cave artist painted a chiru with which she or he was familiar?
(A) There are numerous representations of imaginary animals in cave paintings of similar age.
(B) Fossilized remains of a chiru, approximately 16,000 years old, have been found at the northern end of the valley.
(C) The cave that contains the depiction of an animal that resembles a chiru contains stylized repre- sentations of plant life.
(D) Older caves from the same region contain no representations of animals that resemble a chiru.
(E) The antlers of the animal in the painting are longer than those of the mature Himalayan chiru.
12. Although many brands of gasoline are sold on Haibei Island, gasoline companies there get all of the refined gasoline they sell from Haibei seaport's only storage tank, which is always refilled with the same quality of gasoline. Therefore, the brands of gasoline of sale on Haibei may be different in name and price, but they are identical in quality. The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Consumers are usually unaware of variations in the quality of the gasoline they buy unless those variations are announced by the gasoline companies.
(B) When tankers make gasoline deliveries at Haibei's seaport, the storage tank on Haibei always receives the same quantity of gasoline as that in the preceding delivery.
(C) There is a wide variation in the prices at which the different brands of gasoline on Haibei are sold.
(D) If any gasoline company on Haibei alters the quality of its gasoline before sale, the other gasoline companies also use methods before sale that result in the same change in the quality of their gasoline .
(E) The gasoline storage tank on Haibei is large enough to meet the needs of all of Haibei's different gasoline companies.
一、解题技巧
写作解题时间为30分钟，分为三步：5分钟审题和构思，20分钟写作，5分钟检查可能犯的错误。下面分步骤说明。
(一)审题和构思
事实上提供给写作的时间不止30分钟。一般来说，各考场会提前5分钟左右将答题卡一发到学生手里，大一点的考场甚至可能提前10分钟发卷。这5到10分钟不允许学生作答，但考生完全可以用来做作文部分的审题和构思工作。注意审题一定要仔细，按要求写作，不得擅自改动题目，给定的提纲不得有遗漏，否则会按比例扣分。尤其注意，不要因为事先自己背过或练过哪篇相似的文章而死搬硬套。否则后果很严重。如，12月六级写作真题题目是collegestudents'mentalhealth，提纲为
1。心理健康对于大学生很重要
2。鉴于此，学校可以……
3。我们自己应该……”
而在考试之前我出过一道类似的模拟题，题目为“psychologicalproblemsamongcollegestudents”，提纲为
1。很多大学生有严重的心理问题
2。产生这些问题的原因
3。如何解决这些问题“
可以看出，我给的提纲是按照比较规矩的三段论来的，即”提出问题、分析问题、解决问题“。但真题的提纲并未要求考生分析问题，反倒有两段要写解决问题。有的考生因为看过或背过模拟题的范文，就直接照搬，导致了失分。
另外，构思不是打草稿。并不建议学生练习写作时养成打草稿的习惯。因为考场上时间有限，打完草稿再誊写很可能来不及。另外，更重要的原因是考场上不发草稿纸，一般也不允许往里带纸，难以找到打草稿的地方。考生只要花三五分钟做一下构思即可，即想象一下每段大致写什么，可以记几个关键词(比如在准考证空白的地方)提示自己，在接下来的二十分钟里面按照这几个关键词提示的内容扩展就行。一般来说，要求不少于150词的文章最好写到180到200词，就句子数目来说，如果分三段，每段也就三到五句话，平均四句一段。那么整篇文章大约10个关键词就可以做好构思。以6月六级写作真题为例。
directions:forthispartyouareallowed30minutestowriteashortessayentitledontheimportanceofaname。youshouldwriteatleast150wordsfollowingtheoutlinegivenbelow。
1。有人说名字(或名称)很重要
2。也有人觉得名字(或名称)无关紧要
3。我认为……
构思第一段时，想到可以来一句铺垫的话，如”名字重不重要是个有争议的话题“，可以写下controversial或topic，作为关键词；下一句是”有人说名字(或名称)很重要“，可以先写下important。再往后想两条理由或例证即可。理由如”好名字容易被记住，因而可以给人来更多机会“(关键词remember或opportunity)，和”按照传统理论起的名字可能会对人起到暗中庇护的作用“(关键词tradition或shelter)；例证如”有人认为毛泽东伟大是因为名字就大气，billgates有钱是因为他的名字可以表示钞票，姓表示很多大门，很多大门都来钱，所以有钱“。第二、三段情同此理。其实第一段想好了，后两段也就容易了。比如第二段可以将第一段的理由或例证反过来用，第三段可以总结或折中一下。字数还是比较容易写够的。
(二)写作
写作的过程当中，要注意这样几条高分策略。
字迹清楚，段落明朗(clear)：字体不要太大，也不要太小，以行间距的三分之一到二分之一为合适；另外，大小要一致，不要忽大忽小；字母的倾斜方向要一致，不要东倒西歪；要抵着给出的虚线写，不能上窜下跳；总之，要给阅卷人清楚、工整的感觉。段落一般为三段，采用段首缩进式，即每段开头空4至8个字母的格，每段段首缩进的量要一致，要让阅卷人一目了然。
内容完整，紧扣提纲(complete)：一般来说，六级写作都会给出三点汉语提纲，考生应严格按照三点写成三段。不要有遗漏，也不要随意改变提纲要点的顺序。因为阅卷人要在30秒左右的时间打出分数，所以不希望看到与提纲严重背离的作文。
首保正确，再求闪光(correct)：这一条是最核心的，因为在写作时间和篇幅都比较短的情况下，考生写出的内容几乎是一样的，唯一的判断标准几乎就是语言的质量。要首先保证语法和拼写正确，哪怕用小词、短句也可以。有能力的话再追求闪光的词句。例如，有考生在写206月的作文时，写出了这样的开头句：thereisnodenyingthefactthatthevitalofnamehasbeenahotlydebatedtopicinchina。这句话是套用我以往范文给过的句子，基本结构是对的，但有两处明显的错误。一处为vital，是个形容词，而这里应该用名词。作者可能想用一个牛词来替换importance以显示用词多样，结果弄巧成拙。另外一处错误为name之前应该有冠词a，其实题目中都给了，结果这位同学忽略了，缺乏基本的语法意识。其实作文中常犯的语法错误除了冠词错误，还包括时态错误、名词和动词单复数错误、代词不一致错误、词性错误以及句子主谓不完整错误。下笔时一定要谨慎。篇幅关系这里不能赘述。
先总后分，连词用上(coherent)：这里说的是段落的结构和连贯性的问题。英语文章特别喜欢先总后分或开门见山的格局，另外，段落之间和句子之间的形式连接手段特别明显，即关联词用的很多。在写作的时候，几乎就是把给出的三点提纲作为每段的开头句，然后再加上两三个扩展句即理由或例证句就可以了。当然有时候为了论证自然或扩展字数也可以加上一点铺垫的句子。如年6月真题作文开头一句既可以是somepeopleclaimthatnamesareofgreatimportance。也可以是thereisnodenyingthefactthatitisacontroversialtopicwhethernamesareimportantornot。然后再说someholdthepositiveview。后面再加上两三句论证的话。论证句或扩展句之间最好有连接词，如first,second,besides,also,similarly,inthesameway,however等等。
语言简练，论据得当(concise)：不要啰嗦，不要过于重复和堆砌。有些考生背诵了一些经典的句型，为了凑字就全用上了，给人低层次的感觉。如最后一段用同学写道：asfarasiamconcerned,weighingtheprosandconsofthearguments,iaminclinedtoagreewiththelatterpointofview。其实asfarasiamconcerned和weighingtheprosandconsofthearguments用一个就行了。另外，尽管内容不及语言重要，但也肯定会影响分数的。考生应尽量平时多练，以期在考场上也能很快想到一些有力的理由和贴切的例证。另外，要敢于表达自己的思想，不要一味地为了保证语言正确而裹步不前，只说一些小学生的话。如有同学写09年真题第一段时写道：somepeoplethinkthatnamesareimportant。theysaythat,ifapersonhasaname,wecanrememberhim。ifhedoesnothaveaname,wecannotrememberhim。这样的作文倒是没有语言错误，但肯定也得不了高分。
(三)检查
其实考生应该在下笔写作的时候就谨慎，仔细，避免错误，但即便这样，错误也是会有的，包括语法和拼写错误，尤其对于平时缺乏练习的同学来说。那么就需要留几分钟通读一下，检查和改正。注意，要改的是一些语法或拼写错误，而不是作内容上的大的改动，换言之，是改一些词或词组，而不是改整个句子或段落，因为那样会造成卷面混乱，导致低分。要想避免内容上的错误，构思时就要想好，落笔时就要谨慎。还有改正错误要注意方式，尽量不要用涂改液或涂改带，以免有作弊嫌疑，也不要在一个词上涂画太多，影响卷面整洁。一般可以用一条斜线划掉错词，然后在其上方写出正确的，或者用胶带或刀片之类轻轻将错词去掉，然后在原位置写出正确的。
Passage One
Words: 1,036
Earthquakes
A) An earthquake is one of the most terrifying phenomena that nature can dish up. We generally think of the ground we stand on as “rock-solid” and completely stable. An earthquake can shatter (粉碎)that perception instantly, and often with extreme violence.
B) Up until relatively recently, scientists only had unproven guesses as to what actually caused earthquakes. Even today there is still a certain amount of mystery surrounding them, but scientists have a much clearer understanding. There has been enormous progress in the past century. Scientists have identified the forces that cause earthquakes, and developed technology that can tell us an earthquake”s magnitude and origin. The next hurdle is to find a way of predicting earthquakes, so they don’t catch people by surprise. In this article, we’ll find out what causes earthquakes, and we’ll also find out why they can have such a devastating effect on us.
C) An earthquake is a vibration(震动)that travels through the earth’s crust. Technically, a large truck that rumbles down the street is causing a mini-earthquake, if you feel your house shaking as it goes by; but we tend to think of earthquakes as events that affect a fairly large area, such as an entire city. All kinds of things can cause earthquakes: volcanic eruptions, meteor(流星)impacts, underground explosions (an underground nuclear test, for example), collapsing structures (such as a collapsing mine). But the majority of naturally-occurring earthquakes are caused by movements of the earth’s plates.
D) We only hear about earthquakes in the news every once in a while, but they are actually an everyday occurrence on our planet. According to the United States Geological Survey, more than 3 million earthquakes occur every year. That’s about 8,000 a day, or one every 11 seconds! The vast majority of these 3 million quakes are extremely weak. The law of probability also causes a good number of stronger quakes to happen in uninhabited places where no one feels them. It is the big quakes that occur in highly populated areas that get our attention.
E) Earthquakes have caused a great deal of property damage over the years, and they have claimed many lives. In the last hundred years alone, there have been more than 1.5 million earthquake-related fatalities. Usually, it’s not the shaking ground itself that claims lives; it’s the associated destruction of man-made structures and other natural disasters it causes, such as tsunamis, avalanches (雪崩)and landslides.
F) The biggest scientific breakthrough in the history of seismology―the study of earthquakes―came in the middle of the 20th century, with the development of the theory of plate tectonics(筑造学).Scientists proposed the idea of plate tectonics to explain a number of peculiar phenomena on earth, such as the apparent movement of continents over time, the clustering of volcanic activity in certain areas and the presence of huge ridges at the bottom of the ocean.
G) The basic theory is that the surface layer of the earth―the lithosphere―is comprised of many plates that slide over the lubricating (润滑的)asthenosphere layer. At the boundaries between these huge plates of soil and rock, three different things can happen.
H) Plates can move apart. If two plates are moving apart from each other, hot, molten rock flows up from the layers of mantle below the lithosphere. This magma (岩浆) comes out on the surface (mostly at the bottom of the ocean), where it is called lava (熔岩).As the lava cools, it hardens to form new lithosphere material, filling in the gap. This is called a divergent plate boundary.
I) Plates can push together. If the two plates are moving toward each other, one plate typically pushes under the other one. This plate below sinks into the lower mantle layers, where it melts. At some boundaries where two plates meet, neither plate is in a position to push under the other, so they both push against each other to form mountains. The lines where plates push toward each other are called convergent plate boundaries.
J) Plates slide against each other. At other boundaries, plates simply slide by each other―one moves north and one moves south, for example. While the plates don’t drift directly into each other at these transform boundaries, they are pushed tightly together. A great deal of tension builds at the boundary.
K) We understand earthquakes a lot better than we did even 50 years ago, but we still can’t do much about them. They are caused by fundamental, powerful geological processes that are far beyond our control. These processes are also fairly unpredictable, so it’s not possible at this time to tell people exactly when an earthquake is going to occur. The first detected earthquake waves will tell us that more powerful vibrations are on their way, but this only gives us a few minutes’ warning, at most.
L) So what can we do about earthquakes? The major advances over the past 50 years have been in preparedness, particularly in the field of construction engineering. In 1973, the Uniform Building Code, an international set of standards for building construction,7 added7 specifications7 to7 strengthen7 buildings7 against7 the7 force7 of7 earthquake7 waves.7 This7 includes7 strengthening7 support7 material7 as7 well7 as7 designing buildings so they are flexible enough to absorb vibrations without falling or deteriorating. It’s very important to design structures that can undergo this sort of attack, particularly in earthquake -prone areas.
M) Another component of preparedness is educating the public. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and other government agencies have produced several brochures explaining the processes involved in an earthquake and giving instructions on how to prepare your house for a possible earthquake, as well as what to do when a quake hits.
N) In the future, improvements in prediction and preparedness should further minimize the loss of life and property associated with earthquakes. But it will be a long time, if ever, before we’ll be ready for every substantial earthquake that might occur. Just like severe weather and disease, earthquakes are an unavoidable force generated by the powerful natural processes that shape our planet. All we can do is increase our understanding of the phenomenon and develop better ways to deal with it.
1. Earthquake-related fatalities are usually caused by buildings，collapse and other ensuing natural disasters, not by the shaking ground itself.
2. Besides movements of the earth’s plates, other forces such as volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts and so on, can also cause earthquakes.
3. Earthquakes actually occur every day; most of them are not big enough to get our attention.
4. People generally think the ground beneath their feet is completely stable, but earthquakes shatter that idea in no time.
5. We cannot prevent earthquakes but we can actively find better ways to face them.
6. Earthquakes are hardly predictable, and people cannot be told when an earthquake is going to occur.
7. Scientists have found out forces that cause earthquakes through years of efforts.
8. Architects now have designed flexible buildings to minimize the damages of earthquakes.
9. Scientists use the theory of plate tectonics to explain the apparent movement of continents over time.
10. The convergent plate boundaries refer to the lines where plates push toward each other.
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families， while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people， and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles. But by the middle of this century， men‘s and women’s roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s， economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare， men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact， some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. In addition， many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.
In terms of numbers， the counterculture was not a very large group of people. But its influence spread to many parts of American society. Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families. Some doctors， lawyers， and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s， the feminist movement， or women‘s liberation， produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers. Most of them still took traditional women’s jobs as public school teaching， nursing， and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations： police work， banking， dentistry， and construction work. Women were asking for equal work， and equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women. Naturally， there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.
1.Which of the following best express the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Women usually worked outside the home for wages.
B.Men and women‘s roles were easily exchanged in the past.
C.Men’s roles at home were more firmly fixed than women‘s.
D.Men and women’s roles were usually quite separated in the past.
2.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The first sentence.
B.The second and the third sentences.
C.The fourth sentence.
D.The last sentence.
3.In the passage the author proposes that the counterculture___.
A.destroyed the United States.
B.transformed some American values.
C.was not important in the United States.
D.brought people more leisure time with their families.
4.It could be inferred from the passage that___.
A.men and women will never share the same goals.
B.some men will be willing to exchange their traditional male roles.
C.most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wives.

英语六级快速阅读解题技巧
在英语四六级考试中，阅读占总分35%，比例最大，所以，如果阅读能做好，那么过四六级考试将会变得非常容易。阅读的第一部分是快速阅读，这部分的难度在于：
1. 文章非常长，而给的时间短(文章大概有1200个单词，时间为15分钟);
2. 题型灵活度强，覆盖范围广，定位比较困难。
所以，在此，我和各位同学们分享一下我的开速阅读技巧。
一、考前：背四六级高频词汇
众所周知，词汇是一切英语考试的基础。但是望着那本厚厚的英语词典，有几个人能有把握啃完?大多数人绝对属于望而却步型。
我的建议是：同学们去买一本四六级高频词汇手册，每天啃个2~3页的，应付考试也就基本ok了。当然，有余力或者想挑战高分的同学可以去再找些高频词以外的词汇来背。
二、考前：训练泛读技能
很多同学都反映考试时间给的太少，来不及完成，从而造成失分。而这主要是由于大家平时疏忽练习这一部分。那么应该如何练就这本事呢?我的建议是：大家可以每天去图书馆看些历年英语四级快速阅读真题以及历年英语六级快速阅读真题的文章等等。刚开始，可以不用做到一目十行，只要做到看完一篇很长的文章后知道其大体内容是什么。渐渐地，你会发现你采集信息的能力在加强，而且速度也有稍微提升，
紧接着，你就可以用手机、手表等计时工具来看看自己在多少时间内读完一篇1200左右的英文文章，记下第一次读文花多少时间，以后就算每天只是进步一秒钟，那也是一种进步，欲速则不达嘛!这里当然也存在一个问题，就是文章可能难度不一，相差个几十秒也是正常的.，但最好不要超过一分钟，我们要追求一个稳定性。之后，等你差不多练到能在12分钟左右看完一篇1200字的文章了，你就基本成功了!
三、考中：快速阅读技巧
任何考试都存在一定技巧，但前提必须是同学们做足考前功夫。我们都知道一篇文章的重点信息一般包含在段落的首末句，主题内容一般是包含在首段和末段。首末句可能就是段落内容的概括句。而首段和末段则是整篇文章的导语和总结。所以看文章时，着重看一下首末段和首末句。
还有一个技巧适合那些善于抓取信息点的同学，即先浏览题干，再去针对性地看原文，从中定位答案，这样做有时候可以省一些时间。
四、考中：精神要紧张起来
快速阅读是一项重脑力活，要求考生高度集中自己的注意力，不然的话，文章一遍看过去，不知道自己看了什么。所以，考试时候你的精神状态要绷紧点，心理学家说，人在高度紧张时，会促使小宇宙爆发。这和很多运动员都吃 以求超发挥一样一样的。至于怎么个集中法，难道也吃个 什么来着，这当然是不可能的呀，我们可以备个巧克力在手边，有助于刺激神经以及补充能量!
