技巧方法与点拨
（一）选择题解题步骤
1. 看题干，定位题干关键词
先看题干，找出题干中重要信息词，结合题干猜测文章大意。确定关键词即从题干中确定出一个或若干个信息含量大而且有明显提示作用的词。在此我们建议将以下几类词语定为“关键词”：
1) 用做提问主体的名词，可能是动作的施动者或受动者，或是描述的对象。
2) 用于表示某一行动、计划或行为的动词。该动词表示的动作一般会与后面要提问的内容形成因果、转折、承接关系或假定关系；或后面的提问部分是做某事的方式、时间及地点等。
3) 时间状语等表示时间的词语。
4) 以人名和地点为代表的表示名称的词语。
2. 读文章，把握文章大意
带着关键词阅读文章，并在脑海中形成文章大意结构图。
1) 阅读原文中的Title(标题)、Subtitle(副标题)和Section heading(段落标题)，以了解文章的大概意思和所谈话题，对文章的结构有个初步印象。
2) 如果原文没有任何标题和插图，就要阅读各段的首尾句，以初步了解其各段大意和结构。
3. 回看题，原文定位答案
针对阅读过程中有印象的地方如细节题在文中简单标记。对于印象模糊的，仔细分析题干、选项，并在原文中找出对应关键句及答案。
4. 核选项，保证万无一失
对把握不准，需要仔细核对的选项，应特别注意辨别易混淆选项，回到文中找到确切的证据。
（二）句子填空题解题技巧
1. 仔细审题，准确定位
由于快速阅读出题的顺序遵循与原文基本一致的原则，最后三道句子填空题的答案应当到文章后面的段落去找。当然这也不是绝对的，比如第8题的原文定位有可能在第7题的前面。
【例1】By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs, access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individuals with what they cherish most: personal freedom of mobility.
The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation’s economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation: more than 75 percent of the nation’s freight deliveries arrive by truck; and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, and shopping centres. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.
【题目】7. Service stations, motels and restaurants promoted the development of the interstate highway system.
8. The greatest benefit brought about by the interstate system was________________.
【解析】 根据Service stations, motels and restaurants将第7题定位于上面第二段倒数第二句；根据the interstate system,将第8题定位于上面第一段最后。
2. 解读题干结构，调整语言形式
在审题定位之后，考生应研读定位词所在的上下文若干句子。一般来说通过比照原文就可直接得出答案。但是，有时题干中句子结构的调整要求考生在语言形式上做出相应的变化。
【例2】5. Make up Your Mind
Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.
【题目】When it comes to decision making, one should make a quick choice without_________.
【解析】looking back。根据decision making定位至原文第5个小标题部分最后一句。题干中的介词without要求后面接动名词结构，原文中的look back相应调整为looking back。
