英语阅读把握文章主要事实
【摘要】以下是整理的考研英语阅读解题思路——把握文章主要事实,分享给大家,供各位考生参考!祝愿大家都能取得好成绩,加油!
现在离考研39天的时间,考生们已经进入紧张的备考阶段。正所谓“得阅读者得天下”,很多考生现在这个阶段复习英语时都会坚持做阅读,我们阅读绝大多数都是细节题,即根据题干中的细节信息回到文章中定位,然后理解定位所在的句子,进而选出答案,但是在做题过程中,并不是每道细节题都可以定位到具体位置或者有的题定位到位置后也会在两个选项中纠结,这时该怎么办?
在这里为大家提供一个解题思路,就是把握文章的主要事实,即文章中心,也就是这篇文章反复讨论的事实。因为命题老师不会从文章中不重要的信息出题,文章五道题目的命置是围绕文章主要事实(即文章中心)的。比如2007年第四篇文章38题
In bringing up the concept of GASP the author is making the point that .
[A] shareholders’ interests should be properly attended to
[B] information protection should be given due attention
[C] businesses should enhance their level of accounting security
[D] the market value of customer data should be emphasized
我们根据GASP这个专有名词定位到第三自然段的第三句话Indeed, just as there is the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), perhaps it is time for GASP, Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York’s Columbia Business School. Just as 在这个语境中是“正如”的意思,也就说这句话作者在举例子详细阐述观点。
题干中的信息来自于例子(事实论据)中的细节信息,这道题是例证题。所以定位的位置是例子所在的这句话的前一句话The ability to guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders. 这时大家会发现选项A B D中的信息都符合,很多学生会在这三个选项中纠结,觉得这个三个选项说得都对,不知道该选哪一个,这时我们应该想到文章的主要事实是什么。
It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance , a new problem threatens to earn them – especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss’s agenda in businesses of every variety.
文章第一段以俗语开篇引出文章讨论的话题“数据不安全”。根据表示现在的指示词“now”知道作者强调的是“信息保护”。所以这道题我们选的是B选项。同样地第39题
According to Paragraph 4, what puzzles the author is that some bosses fail to .
[A] see the link between trust and data protection
[B] perceive the sensitivity of personal data
[C] realize the high cost of data restoration
[D] appreciate the economic value of trust
我们根据题干中的信息看的是第四自然段:
The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore—and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.
发现定位不到具体位置,这时在读这段的信息时也觉得云里雾里,看四个选项中信息都是来自这个自然段,尤其是D选项跟文中的信息表述很相似。同学们,在犹豫这个选项时,要思考下这是否是文章的主要事实。根据前面的分析,这篇文章当然不是讨论的the economic value of trust 而是information protection 所以这道题选的是A选项。
通过以上讲解,相信各位同学已经知道把握文章主要事实的重要性,而我们在做题时可能找不到或者没有意识去找文章主要事实(文章中心),但是如果在几个选项中纠结时,我们就可以往文章主要事实方向思考。
