BEC中级readingpart3阅读题巧解
(一)题型介绍
BECVantage阅读理解题目不能过细地去推敲,正确选项一般都是“原句+改写”。
一般说来,命题专家最常用的有四种方式:
“语言简化”、“反话正说”、“正话反说”和“关键词替换”。
(二)技巧:
BEC中的阅读是需要掌握一定的略读技巧的,下面传授给大家:
转折重点读后句,并列不用都读完,插入成分可不读,定状成分可删节
做题步骤:
1、看题目,把握文章主旨
2、同义匹配是解题关键
3、定位:
题目和段落对应
4、选项四大类:
1)正确选项:
同义词匹配
2)无关选项:
上下文无此内容
3)意思相反:
文章讲得是正面。
而选项是反面
4)不要做二次推论
5、主旨题:
看在文章、选项中出现最多的词,主旨题中的选项必须出现此词才有可能是正确选项
6、注意段落结构,如果很有规律,可以做出合理推论
7、找出题干中的关键词,在文中定位。
题目是顺序排列。
大写定位,符号定位,同义词定位
8、选项范围太小或太大不选;太绝对不选;不符合实际不选;太具体不选;不包含所有要素不选
9、一般都是考细节,一定要耐心定位
10、每段的中心句一般在段首或段尾,浏览时一定要把握中心意思
11、如果题干中出现“inthefirstparagraph”,很可能得弄懂整段的中心意思才能选出正确答案;
11、最后一个题一般在最后一段可以找到答案
