閱讀方法的正確運用在真題泛讀中能夠有效地節省時間,提高正確率。這裡為大家歸納了三種考研英語真題泛讀中常用的方法:
1.尋讀法
此方法多用在例證題,指代題,判斷題和句意理解題的解題過程中。例如2016年英語二真題中的一道例證題,題幹:The 「empty bottles」 metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to . 根據題幹中的關鍵詞「empty bottles」 定位至文中信息Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you』ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. 「The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,」 writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and 「we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them」。此段話例證部分為「「The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,」 writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and 「we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass」,例子只是為論點服務的,運用尋讀法上下找論點,例證題的答案90%向例子上方找,Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you』ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind.通過此句話可知作者強調的是 the most fulfilling kind,例子下方的解釋「for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them」也驗證了the most fulfilling的表達,因此正確選項一定是有關the most fulfilling的表達,[A] update their to-do lists [B] make passing time fulfilling[C] carry their plans through[D] pursue carefree reading,通過以上分析,便可得出D選項為正確答案。
2.跳讀法
此方法在主旨題中的運用最多,比如段落主旨題,核心觀點往往在句首或者句尾,或者段中帶有結論性的語句,段中的正反論證,舉例論證的內容就可以略讀了。例如2016年英語二有這樣一道主旨題,The best title for this text could be . [A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading [B] How to Find Time to Read [C] How to Set Reading Goals [D] How to Read Extensively,在解題過程中如果再一次通讀全文就很浪費時間了,需要運用跳讀法解題,抓住每段段落主旨:There’s never any time to read.(一段末)What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient.(二段初)Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.(二段末)In fact, 「becoming more efficient」 is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally.(三段初)So what does work? (四段初)On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re 「making time to read,」 but just reading, and making time for everything else.(四段末)可以知道通篇講的就是time 和read的關係,因此答案就一目了然了。
3.猜讀法
此方法多用於詞彙題。在真題閱讀中詞彙題的含義往往在原文中有軌跡可尋。例如通過上下文的正義表達與反義表達猜詞義;通過標點符號(破折號,冒號);定義、重述、解釋、舉例;單詞用法等猜測詞義。例如2019年英語二的真題中考察了這樣一道題,The word 「transgressions」 (Line 4, Para.5) is closest in meaning to .根據題幹定位至文中Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations, she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. 根據句中的 feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. 可以看到negative emotions來源於transgressions. 而negative emotions表示負面情緒是貶義的,因此對比4個選項,可以得出答案是D選項wrongdoings壞事;不道德的行為.而A. teachings 教導;教義B. discussions 討論;論述 C. restrictions 限制;限制條件,均不符合題意。
這三種真題泛讀方法使用在真題練習中可以有效的提高效率和正確率,但在基礎複習階段,初次考研的同學還是以複習詞彙和語法為主,可以先熟悉這些方法,到了後期再使用。關於考研英語複習技巧,同學們可以在恩波學習群中向恩波英語老師提問學習。
