英语六级快速阅读和精读解题技巧
一、英语六级快速阅读
六级快速阅读概况与解题基本方略:
六级的快速阅读和四级快速阅读的形式、比例、分值、包括解题方法都很像。
一篇六级速读全长约1000词至1200词左右,需要考生在15分钟内完成,请记住,涂卡时间也是算在这15分钟之内的。
倒看原则:
先看题目,再“按图索骥”回到原文中去;
标记原则:
数据、年代、地名、人名、组织名、大写名称等等经常在题目和原文中互相照应;
注意标题:
小标题会成为很多题目层次的分界线,下文中并没有出现,但今后的考试中要特别注意。
请在10分钟内完成以下题目

【解析】
快速阅读的解题策略是关键词定位和信息对比。
本文主要讲述了必胜客的发展和行业竞争,题目设置较为清楚,根据题干及文章都很容易定位,基本上是一段对应一题。
可能在第1、9、10题会有些踌躇,第一题中的1969年对应了文章第一段adecadelater,第9题中需要填写遭受(sufferfrom)的宾语,文中并没有直接点明,而是在第11段中用了一个同义替换的形式“filedagainstDomino’sinthepastfor”,最后一题对应文章最后一段中的prettymuch。
二、英语六级精读
