下面小编为大家带来大学英语六级学习经验英语六级快速阅读考题目定位问题（共含9篇），希望能帮助大家!同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“吥多多”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
6月六级考试的快速阅读，从文章的题目直接翻译很容易地联想到斯皮尔伯格的电影《少数派报告》，因此，这就给我们提了一个醒，平常考生在复习英语六级考试的时候，不能仅仅局限于词汇、语法、句式结构等知识的复习，还应该充分的关注社会的背景、文化娱乐知识、外文报刊杂志的阅读等，这样可以为我们提供充足的背景知识，让我们在看到题目的时候，有种“似曾相识的感觉”，这样还有一个好处就是考生遇到自己熟悉的内容时，心态就会放松，自信心很足，做题也比较顺当，
应该说206月的六级考试快速阅读部分充分体现了，快速阅读就是考题目定位的问题这一不变的规律，也就是说考生从题干里面找到信息词之后要回到原文去定位相关的句子，
与去年12月份的考试相比，此次快速理解部分难度稍有所增加，主要表现在一些考生甚至会感觉时间上有点紧迫，而且跟以往做快速阅读的感觉不太一样。出现这种情况的原因在于此次六级考试的10道题目出现了10个不同的人名，单从题目的定位上来讲，非常简单，但定好位以后，却需要对句子进行深层次的理解，才能够得出正确的答案，而不是像以往进行简单的同义词替换或者是结构的替换就行，所以很多的考生会在理解句子上面花费的时间太多，而造成时间不够。
从10道题目的出现顺序来说，此次六级考试的10道题目中规中矩，完全符合“行文顺序”这一原则。因此考生需要注意的是，六级考试其实是速度型的考试，把握了这种潜在的规律，就可以不必全文阅读而进行重点的阅读即可。因此，在以后的学习中要注意做题的速度和方法，除此之外，要加强对句子结构的把握和长难句的理解，以保证做题的速度和正确率。

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。
The drums beat as the dragon boats race . This must be mainland China or Taiwan, right? Think again. These days the traditional Chinese boats are racing in places as unlikely as England and Italy. Dragon -boat racing was introduced to the world in 1982, when the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival1 included international competitors. In the 1990s, dragon-boat racing caught on2 in many non-Asian countries. It quickly became the world’s fastest-growing water sport. What’s the appeal3 ? Dragon-boat racing combines athletic competition , cultural interest and just plain fun.
The boats are manned4 by 20 paddlers, one drummer and one person who steers. Nearly 18 meters long, the colorful boats resemble dragons with elaborate heads and tails. The team paddles to the beat of the drum. The boats speed along, rising high and moving smoothly along the water. In about three to six minutes, they cross the finish line.
The races recall Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in ancient China. When he drowned in the Mi Luo River, the people raced out to save him. But they were too late .
Dragon boats are now racing in towns and cities around the world. Students, working people and older people race for fun and exercise . Serious paddlers compete for cups and medals. In the United States, the Pacific Northwest International Dragon Cup is in its 11 th year. In Toronto, about 250, 000 spectators turn out for dragon-boat races each summer. Sweden has over 400 teams. Poland, too, has several dragon-boat clubs.
There are even consulting businesses to help people organize local dragon-boat events. They help with site selection, team training and safety. Besides that, non-profit organizations hold competitions to raise money.
And various regional and worldwide races — too many to name — keep serious paddlers busy. In September , Rome hosted the Club Crews World Championship. In , world-class teams gathered in Shanghai for the fifth International Dragon Boat Federation races. In . . .
Going to Europe this summer? If so, just remember: When in Rome, do as the Chinese do!

老传统, 新生命
鼓声阵阵, 龙舟竞渡。这一定是在中国大陆或是在中国台湾吧? 不对, 再猜猜看! 如 今, 传统的中国龙舟在英国和意大利等这些不太可能出现的地方比赛。1982 年, 香港龙舟 节广邀世界好手参加, 龙舟赛开始为世人所知。20 世纪90 年代, 龙舟赛逐渐在亚洲以外 许多国家盛行开来, 并迅速成为一项全球性的水上运动。龙舟赛的魅力何在? 它的魅力在 于它将运动竞技、文化趣味以及娱乐完美地结合起来。
船队由18 位划船手、1 位击鼓手和1 位舵手组成。龙舟将近18 米长, 船身被装点得五 彩缤纷, 船头和船尾被精心制作成龙头和龙尾的形状。队伍随着鼓声节奏划桨。随着龙舟 的速度不断加快, 船身的吃水越来越浅, 在水面上飞速前进。大概只需3 ～6 分钟, 龙舟就 能冲过终点线。
这项比赛是为了纪念中国古代爱国诗人屈原而举办的。当年他在汨罗江投水后, 人们 驾船去救他, 但为时已晚。
如今, 赛龙舟盛行于世界的各个城镇。学生、上班族和老年人参加龙舟赛是为了娱乐 和锻炼身体, 而职业的划船手则为奖杯和奖牌而赛。在美国, 西北太平洋世界龙舟锦标赛 已经迈入了第十一个年头。在多伦多, 每年夏天大约有25 万人前去观赏龙舟赛。瑞典有 400 多支龙舟队伍。波兰也有多个龙舟俱乐部。
一些地方甚至还有专门的咨询机构协助筹办地方性的龙舟赛事。他们负责选择比赛 场地, 训练队员和维护安全。此外, 一些非盈利性组织也通过举办龙舟赛来募集资金。
各地还会举办许多地区性或全球性的比赛——— 数目繁多, 不胜枚举——— 这让许多职业 划船手着实非常忙碌。2003 年9 月, 罗马主办了世界龙舟争霸赛。2004 年, 众多的 队伍聚集上海, 参加第五届国际龙舟联盟赛。2005 年⋯ ⋯
今年夏天要去欧洲吗? 如果是的话, 要记住: 入罗马境, 随龙人俗!
阅读导评
古诗《端午赛龙舟》云:“ 端午云开阵雨收, 万人江上赛龙舟。心随鼓点声声急, 忘却屈 原当日愁。”这是诗人描写人们观看赛龙舟的真实情景。赛龙舟作为中国一项传统民间运 动, 因其竞技性、文化趣味性、娱乐性和大众参与性, 在今天依然有着旺盛的生命力, 并风行 于世界各地。在全球一体化的今天, 各民族的传统文化正在不断地交流融合, 君不见, 时下 许多“ 洋节”也在我们身边悄然兴起。
阅读导释
1. 香港龙舟节是一项大型的文化活动, 每年8 月初举行, 每次大约有70 ～80 支来自世界各 039 地的业余龙舟队伍参赛, 至今已举办十几届了。
2. 受欢迎, 变得流行起来, 常用于口语。例如: Mini-skirts first caught on in the 1960s. ( 迷你 裙最初是在20 世纪60 年代流行开来。)
3. appeal n. 吸引力, 如: Learning English has a special appeal for business people in Asia. ( 亚洲商 界学英语的劲头很足
4. man v. 给⋯⋯配备人手, 如: manned spaceship ( 载人飞船) ; What sort of people would he select to man his government? ( 他将选择怎样的人员来组阁呢?)5. 此句改写自谚语:When in Rome, do as the Romans do. ( 入乡随俗。) 作者巧妙地改用广 为人知的俗语, 使文章结尾变得生动有趣, 整篇文章顿时活了起来。
of all the thanksgiving symbols the turkey has become the most well known. the wild turkey is native1 to northern mexico and the eastern united states.
the turkey has brown features with buff-colored feathers on the tips of the wing and on the tail. the male turkey is called a tom2 and, as with most birds, is bigger and has brighter and more colorful plumage. the female is called a hen and is generally smaller and drab in color. the tom turkey has a long wattle ( a fleshy, wrinkled, brightly colored fold of skin hanging from the neck or throat) at the base of its bill and additional wattles on the neck, as well as a prominent tuft of bristles3 resembling a beard projecting downward from its chest.
the turkey was originally domesticated in mexico, and was brought into europe early in the 16th century. since that time, turkeys have been extensively raised because of the excellent quality of their meat and eggs. some of the common breeds of turkey in the united states are the bronze, narragansett, white holland, and bourbon red.
though there is no real evidence that turkey was served at the pilgrim’s4 first thanksgiving, in a book written by the pilgrim’s governor bradford, he does make mention of wild turkeys. in a letter sent to england, another pilgrim describes how the governor sent “ four men out fowling”returning with turkeys, ducks and geese .
benjamin franklin5 once said, “ i wish the bald eagle6 had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping7 and robbing, he is generally poor and very often lousy. the turkey is a much more respectable bird and withal a true original native of north america . ”

火鸡漫谈
在 感恩节所有的象征中, 火鸡已经成为人们最熟悉的东西。野火鸡主要生长在墨西哥 北部和美国东部。
火鸡通体呈褐色, 只是在翅尖和尾部点缀些许浅黄色的羽毛。人们称雄性火鸡为 t om。和大多数鸟儿一样, 公火鸡个头更大, 羽毛的颜色也更加鲜艳明亮。人们把雌性火 鸡称作h en。母火鸡的个头较小, 羽毛是单调的土褐色。公火鸡嘴的底部有一条长长的肉 垂( 这是一种从脖子或喉咙垂下的肉质的皮肤褶皱, 色彩艳丽) , 脖子上也会长些肉垂。而 且, 公火鸡还长有一丛从胸部垂下来的像是一撮胡子一样的竖毛。
火鸡最早在墨西哥被驯化, 并在16 世纪早期被输送到欧洲。从那时起, 人们就因其高 品质的肉和蛋而开始大量饲养火鸡。美国最常见的火鸡品种主要有青铜色、纳拉甘塞特、荷兰白和波旁红等。
尽管并没有确凿的证据证明美国清教徒在过第一个感恩节时曾把火鸡摆上宴席, 但是 他们的总督布雷德福在他写的一本书中确实提到了野火鸡。另一个清教徒在他寄往英格 兰的信中描述了总督是怎样派“ 四人出去捕鸟”, 结果却带了些火鸡、鸭子和鹅回来。
本杰明· 富兰克林曾经这样说:“ 要是当年我们没有选择秃头雕作为我国的象征就好 了。秃头雕的品行不好, 就像那些靠欺骗和掠夺为生的人中败类一样, 它一般都很卑下, 而 且行为通常也很卑劣。火鸡则是一种更加值得尊敬的鸟, 不仅如此, 它是北美真正土生土 长的鸟儿。”
阅读导评
一提到火鸡, 人们就会想到感恩节餐桌上那道香喷喷的大餐, 但是把它和美国历史联系起来的人并不多。假如美国人当年真的把火鸡选作国鸟, 是不是美国甚至整个世界的历 史都会改变呢? 鸟儿, 不论是高尚还是卑鄙, 无非是为了生存而已, 可人的欲 望却是无止境 的。要改变国鸟, 再难也容易, 要改变整个国家的政策和国民的性格, 才是最难最难的。
阅读导释
1. 这个词作“ 本地的, 土生的”解, 如: native land ( 故乡) ; native tongue ( 母语) ; a native italian ( 一个土生土长的意大利人) ; the maize is native to america. ( 玉米是美洲的土产。)
2. 这里指“ 雄性动物”, 特别是猫和火鸡。后文中的hen 多指雌性家禽和水生动物。考虑 到本文的写作特点, 直接译为公火鸡和母火鸡。
3. 该词原指竖起的鬃毛, 此处指火鸡脖子上竖起的较硬的羽毛。
4. pilgrim 原意为朝圣者。此处大写, 专指美国早期的清教徒移民。1620 年, 的“ 五月花”号船满载着不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫 害的102个清教徒到达美洲, 并且在新英格兰 建立普利茅斯殖民地。为了纪念那些虔诚的殖民者, 也为感谢上帝赐予丰收和健康, 美 国把每年11 月的第四个星期四定为感恩节。火鸡和南瓜饼都是这一节日的传统食物。
5. 本杰明·富兰克林( 1706—1790) , 18 世纪美国的政治家和文学家, 同时还是了不起 的科学家、发明家。他一生最真实的写照是他自己所说过的一句话:“诚实和勤勉, 应该 成为你永久的伴侣。”
6. 秃头雕。从1782 年起, 秃头雕就是美国的国鸟。秃头雕捕猎的本领较差, 只会跟随其他 海鸟一起去捉鱼, 往往只能抓那些死鱼和半死不活的鱼。有时候, 它们还会从鱼鹰的嘴 中把鱼抢去。
7. 这个词并不是标准用法, 出自sharp adj. 狡猾的, 欺骗的。此处相当于动词, 指“( 运用狡 猾的手段进行) 欺骗”, 特别用于商业贸易中。
christianity
christianity began life as a jewish sect. far from attempting to find a new religion, the first christians viewed themselves as jews following the teachings of the jewish messiah . it was only later, after many non-jews converted, that christianity became a religion distinct from judaism2
although christianity shares much with judaism, these two faiths differ significantly with respect to such fundamental issues as god’s relationship with humanity. the central motif through which this relationship has been understood in both traditions is that of a covenant or contract. in hebrew scr iptures ( the old testament3) , god offers a special relationship with his chosen people — the jews through a contract that specifies the terms of this relationship . the details of this arrangement have been modified and expanded from time to time, in a series of covenants with noah, abraham, and moses4. the most well known of these contracts is god’s agreement with moses on mt. sinai, the ten commandments5.
in the christian understanding of covenant theology, god offers humanity a new contract — the new testament6— as revealed in the person and teaching of jesus. unlike previous covenants, the new covenant refers to the eternal fate of individuals rather than to the worldly fate of the nation of israel. also, rather than being offered only to jews, the new contract is offered to humanity as a whole . individual salvation7 and the question of how that salvation can be achieved is a dominant theme of traditional christianity.
salvation, according to this tradition, is necessary because otherwise the individual is condemned to spend eternity in hell8 , a place of eternal punishment. born into sin, the sentence of eternal damnation is the fate of every person unless she or he is saved from this fate by being“ born again ”through faith in jesus christ. all other doctrines are built around a warning of condemnation and a redeeming message of redemption. as the core doctrine, it would be natural that arguments over soteriology ( one’s theory of redemption) would lead to religions schisms. disagreement over competing notions of salvation led to the split between catholicism and protestantism.
given the stark contrast between heaven and hell as eternal abodes of the soul, serious thinkers have had to grapple with the question —what happens to people who, while not saints, nevertheless are generally good people who have never committed any major sins in their lives? reflection on this problem led to the development of purgatory9, an intermediate realm between heaven and hell. in purgatory, souls are tortured for their sins, but are eventually released and allowed to enter heaven.

参考答案
of all the animals that god had made, the serpent was the most cunning. except the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden of eden you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad so they sewed leaves together and made clothes for themselves. because i was naked, i hid myself.
the apple of discord
the wedding of peleus and the sea-goddess thetis2 were held and all gods were invited. but her absence3 of one goddess was clearly noticeable. it was eris, the goddess of discord. as she planted seeds of discord wherever she went, it was natural that her presence at the ceremony was not desirable. she had good reason to feel angry. so she decided to make fun of4 the group at the party. eris slipped5 into the hall after the couple left and rolled on the floor a golden apple , having the words, “for the fairest”. it caused a violent quarrel among the three goddesses, hera , athena and aphrodite. zeus found it advisable to send them before a shepherd boy on mt ida, paris by name , for judgment. hermes, the messenger, took the apple in his hand and led the goddess away.
paris was son of priam, king of troy. as his mother dreamed at his birth that she was bearing a piece of burning wood, the babe was regarded as representing the destruction of the city itself. to save the kingdom from possible disaster6 , the parents had the helpless infant left on top of mt ida to die. however, he survived his ill fate. brought up by the herdsmen, he became a strong, handsome lad. he was secretly united with oenone, a fair and faithful mountain fairy maiden. on this particular day, as he was taking care of his sheep on the mountain side, the youth was surprised to see four human beings standing before him. hermes told him about his mission and left. the three holy beauties then competed with each other, showing themselves up before the shepherd. hera promised to make him king of asia. athena undertook7 to help him get imperishable fame in war; whereas aphrodite offered to secure for him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. the primitive instinct of the boy thus moved, aphrodite won the prize , and the other two goddesses left in anger and became deadly enemies of troy.

the last dinner
jesus spent his last few hours of liberty quietly in the suburb of bethany. it was the day of passover. the jews observed this feast by eating roast lamb and unleavened bread. 2
jesus asked his disciples to go to town and reserve a room in one of the smaller inns and order a dinner that they might all be together.
when evening came, judas, looking bland3 and innocent, left the house together with the others. they went down the mount of olives and entered the city and found that everything was ready. they took their seats around one long table and began to eat.
but it was not a cheerful meal. they felt the dread of those coming events which already were casting their terrible shadow over the small group of faithful friends.
jesus spoke very little. the others sat in gloomy silence. at last peter could stand it no longer, and he blurted4 out what was in everybody’s mind . “master, ”he said,“we want to know. do you have reason to suspect one of us?” softly jesus answered, “ yes. one among you who is now sitting at this table will bring disaster upon us all. ” then all the disciples got up and crowded around him. they protested their innocence. at that moment judas slipped quietly out of the room. they now all knew what was to come. they could no longer remain in that little room. they needed fresh air, and they left the inn and walked out of the gate and went back to the mount of olives and opened the wicket to a garden which a friend had told them to use whenever they wished to be alone . it was called gethsemane5 , after an old oil-press which stood in a corner. after a while jesus walked away from the little group. but three of the disciples who were closest to him, followed at a distance.
he turned around and bade them wait and watch while he prayed.
the time had come for a final decision. escape was still possible , but escape would mean a silent confession of guilt and defeat for his ideas.
he was alone among the silent trees and fought his last great battle . he was a man in the fullness of his years. life still held a great promise. death, once his enemies captured him, would come in a most terrible form. he made his choice . he stayed. he went back to his friends. and behold! they were fast asleep . a moment later, the whole garden was in an uproar. led by judas, the guards of the sanhedrin rushed upon the prophet. judas was at their head. he threw his arms around his master and kissed him. 6 that was the sign for which the soldiers had waited. at that moment, peter realized what was happening.
