第四讲 怎样做阅读理解题(二)
+ {! v& {3 g9 K% U/ n# N! Y  一、细节题  y$ ~+ j2 q& R( O
  大纲对考生掌握的阅读能力的第二条要求是:了解阐述主旨的事实和细节。也就是说我们在阅读一篇文章时,除了抓住文章的主旨和大意外,还必须弄清文中的一些重要事实或细节,因为它们是作者得出结论或阐明论点的依据。了解这些事实或细节有助于领会并确定文章的主题思想。
) v6 {1 G3 p7 M! ?) u$ |* n  细节类题目在职称英语等级考试的阅读理解题中占的比例最大,涉及的内容也很广,因此,我们在复习应考时,应注意在该类题目上多下功夫。细节题常出why, when, where, what, who等疑问词引导的句子提问。解答细节题的关键在于从问题中找出问题的关键词,即能表达问题所涉及内容的中心词,然后迅速在短文中用查读的方法找出关键词在短文中的位置,以及包含所需信息的句子或短语,最后根据这些句子或短语做出正确的选择。
0 Y" f' V$ }7 |  细节类题目常见提问形式有:, h9 w; R4 [& O9 y! J
  What causes……?0 V/ H0 _4 R6 U) _  |5 x
  Why does the author mention……?- v0 `) i2 V) b, i0 P8 R4 d
  How many……?& s: z: K2 a& C! j6 m: P
  where in the passage does the author describe……?
6 D9 Q& {% h2 B  What time does the writer think is ……?3 M/ Y! \/ ]  Y( ^2 }4 _
  The author mentions that……?# C$ [: |* o6 r. ^3 Q
  The writer states……?
! F" K3 O4 d9 {  等等# v' J; [, H; S+ z0 [
  对于这种题型,考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词,然后以此为线索,运用查读的方法到文章中寻找这一细节,找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍,从而保证对这一细节的正确理解,最后确定正确答案。& D/ b( j" ^; @% I) N6 c
  Let Them Watch It
# b- A' y& j4 U" E0 C1 M% A) N  One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep, I tried everything I could think of : a warm bottle, songs, and gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes, focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's fortyfifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.8 S* t6 r* T) }$ |/ F' @
  I found in my baby's behaviour a metaphor for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don't read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion; let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!
8 ~9 l8 S8 [$ T) c) p& M7 L# U  这是99年试题中的一篇1 N' N  S2 j5 g* c' v- g" i" p
  短文。短文讲的是一个炎热的夏天,孩子就是不愿意睡觉,作者想尽了各种办法,又是拿奶瓶,又是唱歌,又是摇晃,就是不管用。实在没有办法,把一个手提电视给他拿了过去,孩子立刻就不闹了。我们看第36题:
* a) V8 u3 J2 b4 `& V3 s  36. The author brought a TV set into his son's room to
% {' q% V  a1 I: w" N7 Z  A)make his son stop crying.

  D) make his son fall asleep as soon as possible." o9 H: _# A) S' G# v2 j6 d
  题目问的是作者把电视拿到他儿子屋里去的目的是什么。这道题就属于细节性题目。在回答这类题目时,就要到文中找有关信息。请看第一段第三句: Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me……watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn.作者把电视机拿到他儿子的房间里本不是给他儿子看的,而是准备让自己看深夜电影来打发长夜难熬的时光。所以,选项B为最佳答案。其他三个选项都不是他把电视机拿到儿子房间里去的初衷。下面我们看推理题。( Z1 ^% y9 Q/ i7 X1 A- u) x4 Q) H
  二、推理题4 f9 D0 S; g8 g* e  e. d0 f3 f
  一篇文章往往包含两方面的内容:即字面内容和内在内容。所谓内在的内容,是指由于种种原因,文章的作者并不直说出其意,而是把要表达的意思隐藏在字里行间。推理题就是要求考生依据文章所提供的事实,透过表面的文章信息去推测文章深层的含义。推理能力包括归纳、演绎、分析,综合、引申等。阅读理解题中最让考生头痛的应属推理题。这类题既有以局部内容为基础的简单推理,也有以某一段落,甚至整篇文章为基础判断作者(或文中某人物)态度、观点、意图、语气、身份及文章文体等的复杂推理。- K$ Q4 b7 n& N1 g2 ^4 Y
  推理题往往以下列形式出现:  `1 N9 W" y; H/ e; I

  We can conclude from the passage that……

: R8 l+ N" c3 L$ g5 C  请看上面这篇短文的第37题:- v  L* H) ]; t
  37. The baby's reaction to the TV was- L$ G3 w0 O8 Q
  A)unexpected.3 p2 l1 j/ V& R5 r' |
  B) exciting.
7 K5 `& g. Q* i6 q5 ~. r) w- \  C) awful.  u) h0 C4 Q5 b2 ^% ^
  D) calm.. T7 f) [. |) N0 |
  该题的下确答案为A.作者在文章中提到,他一打开电视,孩子马上就安静下来,再也不闹了,眼睛直盯在电视上。作者在这里用了“To my surprise”, 显然孩子对电视的反应,是作者没有预料到的,因此A为正确答案。exciting是“令人兴奋的”,“awful”是“可怕的”,也就是极其不好的反应, calm是“平静的”,电视一开,那孩子就平静下来了,但这并不是说他的反应是平静的。下面我们再看第38题:
( i& M3 i  p9 G* _- j9 t1 b& x  38. From the passage we know that the author is
7 s' E  V( F2 z: c1 r# i0 [  A) a doctor.! f5 g6 I2 {' H: M' Z8 x& M2 K
  B) an editor.
2 b  Y6 k0 g. W- U; e4 H: I% E, k  C) a writer.' k7 Y; A; }# P; u0 D
  D) a teacher.
* e0 [) \- E) E! c6 v$ N$ s  该题也属于推时题。上面我们说过,推理有两类,一类是简单推理,另一类是复杂推理。简单推理是以表面文字信息为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,无须考虑其他前提或寻找其他依据,只须在文章的已知信息与表层结构的基础上进行推理。本题就属于简单推理题,要求考生推断作者的职业。根据文章最后一段第五局话的信息,我们会很容易地推断出作者是一位教师。这句话的原文是: We find that our students don't read, that they look down upon reading an
9 G! O; c, Y) S  d scold those of us who teach it. 它的意思是:我们发现我们的学生不读书,瞧不起读书,而且还骂我们这些教他们读书的人。由些看来,这里的我们就是指的当老师的这些人。
* n& O# X3 p- E: i- _( \4 a  再看第40题:
( ^; V2 o: \2 G# P& J  40. What do you think is the author's attitude toweard TV as expressed in the last two sentences?1 E$ |* z7 O+ a! v9 p% [. d3 j$ d
  A) Angry.& F( h, Y  E  p* d6 V$ \
  B) Serious.
" f$ v9 [/ G; J  C) Ironical.
7 G, B/ x4 I* X, w  D  D) Joking./ u0 m8 ~% U! m( k4 {
  该题要求考生根据短文最后两句来判断作者的态度。通读上面短文的最后一段,我们注意到作者在谈到孩子对待学习的态度时用了这些词句:he merely spit upon them, he did not feel comfortable. We find that our students don't read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. 意思是:我和夫人曾拿给孩子书,但他根本不看,还往书上吐唾沫。每次我们读书给他听,他就显得泞身不自在。学校里的情况也是如此。我们的学生不愿读书,而且嘲笑我们这些教书的。他们就喜欢看电视。尤其注意作者在最后用了两个感叹句子(“Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want! 然而,通过与我们孩子的接触,我得出这样的结论:“想看就看,任其自便吧!”既然电视比书本更吸引孩子,我们何必苦苦反对呢?想看就让他们看个够好了。)这里作者显然是在说反话。所以答案为C.
- ]+ N5 T) W; o( x, g) u+ F4 {  三、词汇题
1 A, u: c. B' o2 k9 i  职称英语等级考试对考生的阅读理解能力提出的第三条要求是:根据上下文判断某些词汇和短语的意义。测试这种能力的题目通常称为词汇题。需要注意的是,这些词汇或短语有可能是考生熟悉的,也有可能是考生不熟悉的。其常见提问形式有:
5 G; k; m; j6 }* l  The phrase “……” in the …… sentence could best be replaced by ……) r" @1 A0 J* ]" X
  In line …… , what does “……” refer to?7 K- W' H9 T- S3 l" _2 ]
  The line …… thatauthor uses the word “……” to indicate……
! x  m$ G# @. w5 Y  The term “……” in the …… paragraph can best be replaced by ……
) k$ G8 h6 d( b( @' ?$ G/ W  The word “……” in the …… sentence refers to ……7 V% g3 p! l' T# T: f9 j% T
  Whinch of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “……” (Para……, Line……)?
! n7 @" M3 [% I0 G& J  The phrase “……” (Para ……, Line……) in the context means ……$ w2 r: t1 `& p* ^1 e/ a
  The word “……” most nearly means ……* ^" x6 r& M, M/ i; J
  在做此类题目时我们可以从两个方面入手:构词法和上下文,以判断单词的意义。英语的构词方法主要有以下几种:
' y9 y2 j5 D5 A; [- ~% v8 Y  1)派生法 (derivation)
. O1 H4 ?" {/ E/ ^  前缀 + 词根) h+ w0 C- M3 O+ [- P
  in correct = incorrect
! ]' a8 U. d$ ?) M/ I  不 正确的 不正确的
' v0 g* k6 O6 b  2)合成法(composition)7 E3 {3 `3 p1 E* x6 G. ?; J
  radio + activity = radioactivity (放射性)! H. K  V& x# q3 R7 S5 l2 f6 u
  ice + box = icebox (冰箱)
0 f: J% F9 o  M( v% |" J  3)缩略法 (abbreviation)( o1 _; f! B7 T  J
  advertisement = ad. (广告)
' ^  y, _4 A0 l: E  [: K  4)拼缀法 (blending)6 b5 P- o0 A- D% Q
  smoke + fog = smog (烟雾)
7 x& }! F! B# ~3 f8 P) ~& y  除了根据构词法来猜测词义外,另外一个很重要的方法就是根据上下文来推断词义。一个单词处于某个具体的语言环境中的意义可能在其本意的基础上有较大的延伸。这一点对于职称英语等级考试的应试者来说尤为重要,因为职称考试允许考生可以携带词典进入考场,有的应试者在碰到词汇题时,认为只要查一下词典可以了,其实不然,因为该单词的词义有延伸,考生需要把这一延伸的意义确定出来,需要根据上下文进行具体的分析。

  还有一类词汇题属于指代性质的,要求考生判断文章中的某个词所指代的内容。从考试大纲所提供的样题来看,此类题目也不少。一般来讲,这类题目的难度不大,只要我们仔细分析代词所处的语境,我们就不难判断出代词所指代的名词。请看下面短文:' x1 Q$ r6 Q" Y
  Numbers and Mathematics/ b6 {, b" s+ t& E! _" H2 G- s
  It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic, the science of numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers consist of whole numbers which are formed by the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and by combinations of them. Parts of numbers smaller than 1 are somethins expressed in terms of fractions, but in scientific usage they are given as decimals. This is because it is easier to perform the various mathematical operations if decimals are used instead of fractions.2 B0 e1 N7 k# |
  ……5 J2 o/ w! X( S2 {2 N& V1 y
  这段短文谈的是数字与数学的关系。 我们看下面这道题:
; n, ]1 B4 G5 p' K% E  The word “this” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to
: U- [! H0 |% d0 M& o% Q  A) using fractions in scientific fields.5 w' l9 ^. k- ?6 E
  B) performing the mathematical operations.7 a, N5 C  `8 t- E
  C) forming a number by the digits.) P8 E, `% V6 ~4 S, f
  D) expressing fractions as decimals.
. K; n, h; Y6 Z! h' p. p  本题属于指代关系题,一般来讲,所代的词一般在这一句话的前后、两句中。找到指代的内容后,把它放在那个代词的位置上,看一看这句话是否合理,与前后的内容是否一致然后再最后判定它是否为正确答案。根据这一思路,只有选项D放在this的位置句子才说得通。所以D为正确答案。/ R. x4 i  x5 C  n& X( j- e9 A. e
  四、小结
4 p( p6 ~# o9 K# _2 B( V% M  以上我们向大家介绍了如何做阅读理解题中细节题、推理题及词汇题的解题技巧和方法。需要提醒大家的是,在解答细节题时,要注意从问题中找出问题的关键词,即能表达问题所涉及内容的中心词,然后迅速在短文中找出关键词在短文中的位置,以及包含所需信息的句子或短语,最后根据这些句子或短语做出正确的选择。在解答推理题时,要采用我们前面介绍的研读方法,力求对文章的某一特定的部分具有比较透彻的理解。另外,在研读的过程中,如果碰到不熟悉的词,要通过上下文,根据有关的背景知识以及构词法猜测生词的大意。如果碰到长句或难句,要注意利用自己所具有英语语法知识分析句子的结构,找出句子的主语、谓语、宾语、状语、定语等语法万分,并搞清句子成分之间的修饰与被修饰关系,从而准确地把握句子的含义。做词汇题时,也要运用构词法、上下文等线索猜测词义
