今年的快速阅读讲述痴迷网络的现象和带来的思考,文章内容属于社会热点,比较容易为考生理解和接受。命题也仍然采用了传统的“7+3”模式,7个选择题加3个完成句子。对于这种文章,我在课堂上反复强调过它的处理方法:只用眼睛看,不用脑子想,注重段落首尾句。 9 `! D0 a; \( |: o
! _+ {! u P7 l7 M, A1 n 我们先来看一下选择题的解法。对于快速阅读的选择题,考生们只要记住五个字“看到即所选”就行了,也就是说,我们通过题干关键词定位到文章中之后,看到句子中有什么,我们就到答案中去找什么。由于快速阅读在命题的时候,选择题的四个选项区别很大,几乎没有共同之处,因此选项的迷惑性较低,考生也就没有必要去比较选项的差异,只需找到原文定位处的核心词汇就可以了。我们以刚刚结束的快速阅读选择题为例:

J+ }5 D8 v9 s 通过本题题干,我们很容易定位到第一节的尾句“it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem”,而这个句子就是我们解决问题的关键。如果分析一下原文的这个句子,它是说“她的四个女儿对她抱怨了很久之后,她才意识到自己真的是出了问题”,题干问的是使她产生这种意识的原因,所以答案就很明确了,是“四个女儿不断的抱怨”,因此本题答案是C选项。 + S3 t( N4 r2 o1 E7 Q ]4 v7 x
) z3 v- j/ b' c2 ] 但是,对于速度要求极为严格的快速阅读来说,这样的分析虽然能保证结果正确,但是却无法保证速度,这样分析下去,极有可能导致后面的问题无法完成。其实考生们只要记得“看到即所选”,就可以很快找到答案。我们同样再看一下这个尾句,很明显,里面有“complaints”,“daughters”这样的单词,而四个选项中只有C选项有我们在定位点看到的词,答案就出来了,根本不需要思考和分析。

本题题干中的关键词“excessive Internet Use”让我们很快定位到原文第四节的第一句话,但是题目中问的作者的观点,答案实际上落在了第五节的首句。发现第五节首句是解决问题的关键并不难,该句第一个词“But”,是一个非常明显的提示信息,引出的是作者的观点、态度等主要内容。这个句子说“But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention”,本句中虽没有与选项中重合的词汇,但是我们还是很容易看出它和A选项发生的同意转换:“question”,“serious”对应的就是“warn”,“harmful consequences”。而B选项中的“agreement”“definition”;C选项中的“exaggerated”;D选项中的“inevitable”都与原文差距巨大。所以本题答案为A。

Jonathan Bishop的名字很明显出现在文章第七节的开头,而该节最后一句中“which can be solved by …”就提示了答案就在这个地方。这个句子说“which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent on line”, 介词by之后就是我们要重点关注的内容,我们会发现,by之后的词只有“life”在A选项中出现,B、C、D三个选项中没有出现by之后的内容。“看到即所选”,本题答案就是A。 $ @' e6 m3 [) I- k. a

" Y5 U! g) W2 N; R C! B Professor Maressa Orzack 是个明显的关键词,首次出现在文章中的第11节,而该节最后一句话中“then it’s too much”就是本题题干中所提到的“be considered excessive”的同意转换,可以确定本题答案就在该节尾句:If it’s a loss where you’re not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it’s too much. 很明显,我们还是不需要进行分析和判断,只要看到原文中提到的“family relationships”在D选项中出现,而其他三个选项都没有尾句中的这些单词,就足够了。本题答案D。
