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。

由于传统阅读是六级阅读中分值比例最大的一种题型,两篇文章,共十道题,占据全卷分值的20% ,且这种题型是考生朋友们最为熟悉的,笔者在此从命题特点和解题方法两方面做简要分析,为2011年6月题目支招!

六级精读备考方略:

以2010年6月六级试题为例,六级阅读无论是从题材上还是内容上都是与实事热门契合度相当高的,甚至快速阅读和传统阅读的第一篇都不能免俗的提及了去年的热门人物奥巴马,可见平时我们多看英文报纸和新闻对阅读背景知识和词汇积累都是对六级考试有益的补充。

题型解读:

52. What do we learn about paid family leave from the first paragraph? (推断题)

53. What has prevented the passing of work-family balance laws in the United States(细节题)?

54. What is Professor Anne Alstott's argument for parental support? (细节题)

55. What does the author think of America's large body of family laws governing children's welfare? (态度题)

56. Why does the author object to classifying parenting as a personal choice?(细节题)

57. What is the finding of a new study by CIRCLE? (细节题)

58. What is a main concern of the writers of Generation O? (细节题)

59. What will the Generation O bloggers write about in their posts? (细节题)

60. What accounts for the younger generation's political strength according to Professor Henry Flores? (细节题)

61. What can we infer from the passage about Generation X? (推断题)

一细节为王

大家对于阅读题的普遍认识是有五种题型,分别为:细节题、主旨题、推断题、态度题和语义题。细节题一般是针对原文的具体某一事实性内容的考察,考察题型多为以what , how, when, 等开头的特殊疑问句的形式提问,如2010

年6月考试阅读中的53,54,56-60。推断题一般在题干当中会有infer, imply,indicate,learn 等字眼出现如2010年6月考试阅读中的52和61题。之所以叫推断是由于推断题的信息往往不是原文直接表述的,而是通过对比,比较,转折等手段间接说出来的,但并不要求考生根据文章的信息去推理和分析。态度题有的题干问法是针对细节,有的则是针对全文。而语义题,也称猜词题,则需要结合文章背景,考点中具体单词,短语或句子在上下文中具体的意义。(1. 如何区分这五种题型?通过哪些标志性的东西确定这是什么题型?2. 请分别标出上面10道题分别是什么题型?)但2010年6月六级考试出现了一个惊人的现象,十道传统阅读有9道题都是以what 开头提问(以what开头提问为什么是特别的?说明文章考察的重点在于细节,而且尤其是名词性质的细节信息),其中有7道题是细节题。说明六级阅读在本质上依然延续了着重对文章细节考察的这一传统。毫无疑问,细节题一直是复习和备考的重中之重。不仅是2010年6月的试题如此,从历年的真题中,我们发现绝大多数的题目是细节题。这也就进一步证实,阅读题的考察重点是细节题的解题能力,笔者把这种能力归结为:查找加对应能力。也就是根据题干信息查找原文说法,对比原文与选项的能力。

建议做题步骤:

1)看题干,划出定位词。

2)看一题,定位一题。

3)对比原文与题干,找出异同或丢失信息,解题。

定位词一般为题干中的大写,如人名,地名,书名,组织名称等以及除全文主题词之外的词汇,因为本次传统阅读题目主要以what 开头,则尤其应该关注名词。

如:2010年6月六级考试阅读理解中的54题:54. What is Professor Anne Alstott's argument for parental support? A) The cost of raising children in the U. S. has been growing. B) Good parenting benefits society. C) The U. S. should keep up with other developed countries. D) Children need continuous care.

根据题干中的人名Anne Alstott's可以迅速定位原文第三段第一句As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. 作者指出Anne Alstott's教授认为社会必须给父母提供相应的支持,因为家庭应被定义为一种社会利益。于是可以对比原文得出正确答案B) Good parenting benefits society.正是原文的改写。

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,

大学英语六级选词填空应试技巧

大学英语四级阅读:选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章,文章中挖出10个空,并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空,有更大的解题难度,原因在于: 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一,选词填空第一题要十五选一,就算用到排除法,最后一题也要六选一,而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到,难度加大; 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性,只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答,而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性,解题时需要同时判断词性和词义,难度加大; 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态,统一形式,而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态,名词的单复数等的辨析,难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项,了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性:名词n,动词v,形容词a,副词ad,在每个选项后作词性的简要标记; 2. 精读全文开头,把握文章主题,并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位,利用前后文判 断每空的词性; 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文,含义通顺,时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时,一些经常考察的形式如下: 名词:通常来说,冠词(如a,an,the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词,即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。", 举例说明:Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式,正确答案是nightmare,这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词,正确答案是strength,这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候,海洋温度上升,导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子:Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法,用句子结构来判断,前面一句话,husbands and children now do some of these jobs,这是一个完整的句子,主语husbands and children,谓语动词do,宾语some of these jobs;后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句,它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词,而定语从句的中心词是名词,所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法,根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断,横线处应该填一个名词,而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了,这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词:动词的考点很多,我们来看其中三种: 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明:He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里,主语是he,本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语,但是这里没有动词,而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers,这样这句话就缺少谓语动词,所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid,这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师,

大学英语六级翻译技巧及专项练习讲解

翻译题应试技巧 汉语主动句译成英语被动句 我们在汉译英时,往往也需要把汉语主动句译成被动句。这是因为:为了保证上下文连贯,使衔接更紧密,句子更自然;或强调动作承受者;或使语气婉转、措辞恰当。具体转换方法有如下两种。 1)把汉语主动句的宾语译成英语被动句的主语。 例1 ____________(将领你们去参观我们的新车间)by the secretary. 译文:Y ou will be shown our new workshop. 简评:如果这句话不是划线填内容,你完全可以将它翻译成The secretary will show you our new workshop。正是因为题型是补全句子,这就给翻译带来了一定的难度,你必须去适应题型要求而不是让题型来适应你。让我们看看译文已给出部分:by the secretary显然是一个被动语态特征,"秘书"在译文里已经由原来的主语变成了译文句子的补足成分。所以,题目是暗示我们要把原句中"你们"转换成译句里的主语,这样才符合出题要求。 例2 Y ou __________(我们期待你能组织贸易推广活动)this time. 译文:are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns. 简评:根据题目可推知全句意思是:我们期望你能组织这次的贸易推广活动。中文句子主语、谓语、宾语分别是:我们、期望、你。但是在英文译文的给出部分中我们看到句子以you开头,也就是说"你被期望能组织这次贸易推广活动"。中文的宾语变成了英文的主语,这就要求我们在翻译时要使用被动语态。全句完整答案是:Y ou are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns this time. 2)当汉语句以"我们"、"人们"、"大家"等泛指性代词作主语时,在翻译成英文的时候常常可以忽略主语不译,并把英文译句处理成被动语态。处理后的英文译句往往带有know,see,find,say,suppose,estimate,report,suggest,stress,consider,expect,admit,point,understand 等动词。 例3 如果原子失去一个或多个电子,我们就说这个原子带正电荷。 译文:If one or more electrons are removed,the atom is said/believed/thought to be positively charged. 简评:这句话是一个条件从句。即:在原子失去一个或多个电子的情况下,这个电子带正电荷。"我们就说这个原子带正电荷"可理解为"这个原子被认为/ 被确信/ 被说成是带正电荷"。那么根据前面所说的原则,我们在翻译时可以将泛指性主语"我们"省略不译,并使用被动语态。 从这个例子里我们还可以看出,在科技文章中,根据英语表达习惯我们应当多采用被动语态,以强调事物的客观性。 例4 人们采用各种措施来防止腐蚀。 译文:All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion. 简评:这句话可以按原文译成主动态,即:People have taken all kinds of measures to prevent corrosion。也可以用被动语态来翻译--All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion。两者比较而言,被动态译文更突出表明所有、种种措施已经付诸实施,all kinds of measures得到强调,而主动态译法只是平铺直叙,重点不突出。

大学英语六级阅读理解及答案

Reading Comprehension for CET 6 Passage 1 In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia,one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train.One of the looters,Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan,suddenly notices the camera and snatches it.Am I in this?he asks,before smashing it open.To the dismayed reporter,Lawrence explains,He thinks these things will steal his virtue.He thinks you're a kind of thief. As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands,stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic.The ignorant natives may have had a point.When photography first became available,scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.But in some ways,anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.Up into the 1950s and 1960s,many ethnographers sought pure pictures of primitive cultures,routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress.They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties,often with little regard for veracity.Edward Curtis,the legendary photographer of North American Indians,for example,got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated,primitive,and unchanging.For instance,National Geographic magazine's photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures.As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic,the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white,middle-class American conventions.While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops,for example,white women's breasts are taboo.Photos that could unsettle or disturb,such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine,are discarded in favor of those that reassure,to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only kindly visions of foreign societies.The result,Lutz and Collins say,is the depiction of an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict. Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot.She read the magazine as a child,and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career.She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures,they should be alert to the choice of composition and images. 1.The main idea of the passage is______________. [A]Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values. [B]There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples. [C]Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales. [D]Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures,compromising the truthfulness of their pictures. 2.We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_________.

大学英语六级翻译解题技巧 新六级中,写作和翻译部分分值比例为20%。其中,写作部分15%,翻译部分5%。翻译部分测试的是句子、短语或常用表达层次上的中译英能力。 和其他翻译考试不同(例如考研的翻译考察的是篇章结构中局部句子的英译汉),六级翻译将很少涉及翻译的深层技巧与文化背景知识。因此,虽然该部分以汉译英的命题形式出现,考点的实质仍是基础知识,如果考生备考时能够牢固掌握核心的词汇、语法等知识点,拿到汉译英部分分数应该是相对容易的。但是需要注意到的是,汉译英部分的做题时间只有5分钟,这就意味着考生必须对知识点掌握足够熟练,满足考题在测试速度上的要求。 总之,就新六级中只占5%的翻译而言,它的实质是变相的测试词汇、语法和短语结构。考生无需钻研翻译技能和英美文化背景知识。 解题步骤: 第一步:首先快速浏览句子,先看英语不看汉语,从而判断划线处所填句子的形式、时态。 所谓形式包括: 1. 词组固定搭配(不定式短语、分词短语、动名词、句子等); 2. 虚拟; 3. 被动 所谓时态是指:根据前后已经给出的英语句子判断所填英语句子的时态。 第二步:看括号里面的汉语句子,以核心谓语动词为切入点,找准主谓宾、分清定状补。第三步:先翻译主谓宾、后翻译定状补,切块对应翻译,重新组合。 动词注意时态,名词注意单复数。 考生应该注意以下几种虚拟语气的形式: 第一种:由“ if ”引导的虚拟句子 (1). 与现在的事实相反:[If --- + were/did---, --- + would do---] If I were you, I would marry him. 如果我是你,就会嫁给他。 (2). 与过去的事实相反:[If --- + had done---, --- +would have done---] If you had worked hard , you would have passed the exam.如果你用功学习,就会通过考试了。 (3). 与将来的事实可能相反:[If ---+ should do---, ---+ would do---] If it should rain tomorrow, what would you do? 如果明天下雨,你怎么办? 第二种:用在表示要求、建议、命令等的名词从句中 从句谓语形式为:“---(should ) + do sth” (在美语中should常省去) 。 类似用法的动词有:insist (坚持) , suggest (建议) , order(命令) , propose (建议) , demand (要求) , command (命令) , advise (建议) , desire (要求、请求) , request (请求) , require (需要、要求) , ask (要求) , prefer (宁愿), recommend(推荐) , arrange ( 安排) , advocate ( 拥护、提倡) ,maintain(坚决主张)等后面的宾语从句中。 第三种:在“It is important (necessary, strange, natural) that ....” 句型中,that从句中的谓语动词用should + 动词原形 其他类似的词还有“It + be + important (necessary , natural , essential , strange , absurd , amazing , annoying , desirable, surprising , vital , advisable , anxious , compulsory , crucial , imperative , eager , fitting , possible , impossible , improper , obligatory , probable , preferable , strange , urgent 等, 以及insisted , suggested , ordered , requested , arranged , recommended 等) + that ---” 第四种:用在It is time that --- 结构中, 从句的动词必须用过去时以表示实际上还未做到,意思则指现在或将来,that一词可以省略,意思是“早该”或“该”。

We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons rather than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想) may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating rescheduling their day.
