7月暑假黄金期中最主要的考研复习任务,就是真题演练。
真题是第一复习材料,是我们必须珍惜为之不多的训练机会。
其中,尤为重要的就是对于阅读真题的训练。
阅读者得天下,阅读是检验你英语水平的一个综合性试题。不仅包含对于英语词汇、语法的基本考查,还考查了你对于社会经济,人文知识以及逻辑思维的掌握程度。
总而言之,这是Think in English能力的一场综合评估。
但考研英语真题题量多、难度大。在考试时间有限的前提之下,如何争取在15分钟之内,又快又准的搞定一篇考研真题阅读理解呢?
在韦林精品公开课“考研阅读,方向比努力更重要”中,小林子老师就为大家推荐了做阅读理解的四大法宝:
那么这四大法宝该怎么用,且听我细细道来。
法宝一:明确做题顺序
To be,or not to be,that’s a question.
在同学们刚刚开始接触考研真题的时候,这句话还可以这样翻译:阅读到底是先读再做,还是边读边做?
首先,我们来看2013年考研英语的首篇阅读,原文共6段。
完整版试题如下:
para 1:
In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada,Miranda Priestly,played by Meryl Streep,scold her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.
para 2:
This top down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with feverish world described in Overdressed,Elizabeth Cline’s three year indictment of “fast fashion”. In the last decades or so,advances in technology have allow ed mass market labels such as Zara,H&M,and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely.Quckier turnrounds mean less wasted inventory,more frequent releases,and more profit. Those labels encourage style conscious consume rs to see clothes as disposal ——meant to last only a wash or two,although they don’t advertise that —— and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks. By offering on trend items at dirt cheap prices,Cline argues,these brands have hijacked fashion cycles,shaking all industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.
para 3:
The victims of this revolution,of course,are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a 5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2300 plus stores around the world,it must rely on low wage,overseas labor,order in volumes that strain natural resources,and use massive amount of harmful chemicals.
para 4:
Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Mass-produced clothing,like fast food,fills a hunger and need, yet is non durable, and wasteful, ” Cline argues . Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year —— about 64 items per person —— and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.
para 5:
Towards the end of Overdressed,Cline introduced her ideal,a Brooklyn woman named SKB,who,since 2008 has make all of her own clothes —— and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note,it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example,can’t be knocked off.
para 6:
Though several fast fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment—— including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection Line —— Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the ideal ism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford to it.
第一步,阅读题目
通过题目选出阅读定位点。
回到原文,在文章中进行精准定位。
我们可以发现,简单通读原文之后,有三段的段落,也就是一半的内容并没有在题目之中直接涉及。
正因为如此,为了节省做题时间,我们可以选择,一边精读一边做题的方式。
法宝二:优化定位的方式
关于定位标的选择问题,不妨遵循以下原则:
(1)优先选择使用时间,数字和专名;
(2)名词性短语其次;
(3)单个名词再其次;
(4)尽量避开动词或者形容词作为定位。
定位词尽量选不易被替换的词汇,选择顺序如上。
这样做,不仅可提高定位准确性,如选择名词定位(之前图片黄色部分)而且很容易找到对应的文中位置
如果选择动词(下图蓝色部分)则出现被同义词替换的情况,无疑会延长做题时间。此外,还可以通过两种不同词性的词汇做到定位,定位的准确率将会大大地提升。
法宝三:强化排除能力
往往在阅读理解的选项设计当中,命题人会设置很多干扰的内容,提高试卷难度。
但是干扰形式无非分为两种:
在考研真题当中,考研英语的高难度决定了那些与原文非常相似的选项,其实很有可能是错误选项。所以,当我们看到此类选项的时候,应该保持警惕心。
现在,我们看一下这个例题:
在进行初步定位后,不难发现,本段主旨句是“Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.”其中,“something similar”指代上文中所述事实,其中“oceans”与“sea”意思相近,基本上可以判定C选项,为正确的选项。
而其它选项则都和原文的陈述非常类似,起到了干扰作用。
法宝四:纠正阅读方式
以下文中长句为例:
本段共三句,首句为选择句式无观点,根据长句间信息重要性有区分原则,该句无重要信息;而末句带有数字信息,为细枝末节,不怎么重要。
通过分析第二句,我们找出主谓宾,然后通过定位词分析,不难可以看到正确答案为A选项:\”managerial practice\”
最后,小林子老师提醒大家:
通过四个方法的学习,可以看出阅读理解其实是一个综合性很强的题型。对于之前学习过的一些解题方法,要学会综合运用。“15分钟搞定一篇阅读”其实真不难。
