避难就易
H5 z7 u0 V6 ]! x+ j 在阅读文章时,考生会不可避免地遇到一些生僻的单词或一些比较难理解的句子。这时,考生可以采取以下措施:- p1 w2 V/ [; @* S5 X
(-)跳过不看2 p! m d9 Y9 T4 @- d" }7 D. W
若较难懂的信息不涉及后面的题目,那就没有必要在这些地方浪费时间了。比如下面文章第一段最后一句为:
( U5 H' e5 L& i& l1 l4 Z' Z) v# E We set up a taste test that challenges people who identified themselves as either Coca — cola or Pepsi fans: Find brand in blind tasting.
3 p! I. U! B' T4 ~" t- i 这里的a blind tasting的确切含义是“品尝没有标明品牌的饮料的活动”,像这样较难理解又不涉及题目的信息大可跳过不看,我们的目的是做对题目,而不是欣赏文章。

职称考试阅读部分,有时候会出现一些在本文中有特定含义的词组。如下面文章中出现了"primary nurse"(责任护士),考生虽然对每个单词都认识,但整个词组的意思就不好把握了。而且在后面的题目中也出现了这个词组,这时考生可以把primary nurse简化成PN,后面的题目照样可以做出来,这就省去了理解primary nurse的时间。

% E$ J4 i: I3 I7 z5 \7 a! l 有些难词难句前后会出现并列或转折的信号,此时可以利用推理,由易到难进行推理。比如下面文章第二段有以下内容: c' e: q: W# M
... Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient's chest. The first sample products aren't expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they'll work — and that American's overextended health — care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients.

# B) Y5 q7 M5 Z7 Z, h9 v0 w 本题需要根据原文中but所在句的意思得出答案,但这句话不少考生在理解的时候有困难。通过but,我们可以知道这句话和上面的句子意思相反。而上面的信息是告诉我们新的人工心脏在10到20年内便可以造出来,照理这应该是件好事,但下一句马上用but转折,说明这句话能够体现人们对人工心脏持否定态度。综观四个选项只有A项和B项对人工心脏持负评价,C项对人工心脏持正评价,D项没有涉及人工心脏。再通过but所在句的信息便可知,原文谈的是钱的问题,便可选B项。 |
