大學英語四級考試閱讀理解部分是眾多考生最為擔心的部分。此部分得分高低，對整個考試的成功與否起著決定性作用。閱讀理解不僅考查學生的詞匯量、語法知識、閱讀速度等基本功，而且還考查學生判斷、推理、歸納、總結等綜合能力。閱讀理解題雖說對考生要求較高，但我們在深入研究歷屆四六級閱讀理解真題后發(fā)現(xiàn)，閱讀理解的命題考點和測試題型均有一定的內(nèi)在規(guī)律。考生只要基本功尚可，然后掌握了這些規(guī)律，其應試技巧必將大大提高，從而在眾多強手中脫穎而出。

　　命題考點規(guī)律及其對應題型

　　分析研究英語四六級考試閱讀理解歷屆考題，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)命題者命制的考點是有一定規(guī)律的，且考點規(guī)律常與某種題型(主旨題、細節(jié)題、邏輯題、觀點態(tài)度題、詞義題)相對應。如果考生掌握了這些規(guī)律，就能在第一遍快速閱讀短文時，敏銳地捕捉到考點并能預測可能會出的題型。考生此時應用筆在這些可能會出題的考點輕輕劃上記號，等看完短文開始做題時，針對題干的提問，迅速找到做記號的考點，再仔細分析、答題。這樣，考生就能節(jié)省不少時間，從而避免開始做題時又要通閱全文盲目找考點。下面，我們結合歷屆四級真題和大學英語四級考試90分突破《閱讀與簡答》分冊，將這些考點規(guī)律及對應題型歸納如下：

　　1、列舉處常考

　　列舉處指的是First,，second, ，Third, 等逐步列出，然后要求考生從列舉出的內(nèi)容中，選出符合題干要求的答案項。該考點常出題型是細節(jié)事實題。

　　例1. At third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: firstly, as members of a police force they always have to be have absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

　　Q: Whats the policemans biggest headache

　　He has to get the most desirable results without breaking the law in any way.

　　He has to justify his arrests while unable to provide sufficient evidence in most cases.

　　He can hardly find enough time to learn criminal law while burdened with numerous criminal cases.

　　He has to provide the best possible public service at the least possible expense.

　　在做此類細節(jié)事實題時，只要把細節(jié)考點(firstly,secondly)找到，對照選項內(nèi)容，跟細節(jié)事實不一致的就不是選項。考生只需細心一點都能辨清細節(jié)事實，選對答案。

　　例2.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present.First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves . Second，we mast investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third，we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand.If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade，maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on barrages.

　　Q:which of the following is true according to the last paragraph

　　Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures.

　　More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.

　　2、舉例子打比喻的地方常考

　　為了使自己的觀點更有說服力、更加明確，作者經(jīng)常用具體的例子打比方，句中常由as, such as, for example, for instance等引導的短語或句子作為舉例句，這些例句或比喻成為命題者提問的焦點。考生需注意的是例子或比喻一般是和文章或段落中心緊密相關的，常以細節(jié)事實性題型和推斷性題型出現(xiàn)，但偏傾于推斷性題型。

　　例1. The opinion seems ridiculous because, for one thing, computers lack the drives and emotions of living creatures. But drives can be programmed into the computers brain just as nature programmed them into our human brains as a part of the equipment for survival.

　　Q：Today, computers are still inferior to man in terms of ______ .

　　decision making drives and feelings

　　growth of reasoning information absorption

　　例2.. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television.

　　3、引用人物論斷處常考

　　作者為了正確表達出自己觀點或使論點更有依據(jù)，常常引用某名人的論斷或重要發(fā)現(xiàn)等。命題者常在此作文章。多以推理性題為主，有時也出細節(jié)事實性題型。

　　例1.There is a senseless notion that children grew up and leave home when theyre 18, and the truth is far from that,says sociologist Larry Bumpers of the University of Wisconsin.
