英語測試中閱讀理解部分是最讓考生緊張而又擔(dān)心的部分。它量大，難度較高。因此，閱讀理解題發(fā)揮如何決定著考生得分的高低。許多考生在做閱讀理解部分時，感受就是時間緊、答案選項迷惑性大，因而很難及時而又準(zhǔn)確地選出答案。如何在沒有足夠時間進行深入閱讀或文章太難而看不懂的情況下進行答題，我們在總結(jié)、歸納歷年四、六級真題特點是基礎(chǔ)上，向考生介紹一些緊急情況下的應(yīng)試技巧。
閱讀理解題答案項特征
通過研究歷屆四、六級閱讀理解題，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，在所列出的四個選項中，也有一些普遍性規(guī)律可循。如果考生了解、熟悉并掌握了這些規(guī)律，他(她)們就可以找到做題時的“第六感覺”，達(dá)到所謂超常發(fā)揮的水平。如果考生來不及看文章，萬般無奈下憑這些規(guī)律可以選中不少正確選項。
(一)答案項中有絕對語氣詞的一般不是正確答案項。這些語氣詞有： must， always， never， the most， all， only， have to， any， no， very，completely， none， hardly等。
例(1) One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that _____ .(1995年6月六級題22)
A. the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant.
B. people's traditional concepts about work no longer hold true.
C. most people have to take part-time jobs.
D. people have to change their jobs from time to time.
(分析：四個選項中，C、D兩項中都含有“have to”，語氣太絕對化，一般被排除?？忌谑Ｏ聝身椫羞M行選擇，就大大降低了難度。)
例（2）The main idea of this passage is that _____ .(1991年6月六級題40)
A．better use of green space facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life.
B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities.
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago.
D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities.
(分析：B、D兩項中均有must be，語氣太絕對化，故一般被排除。考生結(jié)合短文內(nèi)容在剩下兩項中進行選擇，命中率就極高了。)
