新六级基础深度精讲-阅读主讲:欢迎使用新东方在线电子教材基本知识开场白主讲:张登 意义和符号之间的连接成一个复杂的网络结构最为基础的:单词 考试瓶颈:单词问题新六级题型安排旧六级阅读: 四篇文章,每篇5道题,总共20道题。每题2分,总分40分。 包含:自然科技文章、社会、说明和议论文章 题型:主旨题细节题新六级阅读: 十五分钟做一篇快速阅读文章,长度为一千到一千五百个单词。后有十道题,前四道是非判断题,后六道题是主观填空题。 出题人强调的东西是挖掘信息同时以自己话写出来的能力,同时考到写作能力新六级阅读第二部分: 题型:简短回答问题;选词填空 选词填空:350至400个词,10个单词被挖取为空格,给出15个词从中选取 10个添入空格 简短回答问题:350至400个词,后面五道题均为开放式问法。常问细节东西 考察方向:快速阅读文章的能力和改写文章的能力 新六级阅读第三部分: 两篇文章,每篇400至450字,每道题两分,分值20分。 阅读是一个最传统最综合的模式,即考察宏观又考察微观 可以利用阅读理解的选择题去练习快速阅读和简答题!

1总体来说,新旧六级区别: 第一:新六级题型变得复杂,不同题型考察的思维习惯是不同的,需要时间去适应。 可以以阅读理解原来的题型来练习,但同时也要把那一方面的能力加以练习。 第二:篇幅变得巨大,文章篇幅不断加长,大纲规定的速度也提高了。多了一千多 个单词而时间却没有改变,对速度要求越来越可怕了 六级和考研的区别: 考研阅读文章长度是400至450字之间,每篇文章花费的平均时间是15分钟,而六级 每篇阅读文章可能就八九分钟。六级强调考察的是速度,考研英语注重考察的是深度 和精度六级和四级的区别: 整体阅读系统没有太大的本质区别,但是四六级还是有个非常大的区别,主要体现 在两点: 第一点:四级选项中可能含有原文单词。六级选项中一旦带有完整不变的原文单词, 那这个选项成功的概率非常低 第二点:四级的阅读理解很多直接问的是某段第一句话,六级的有些题目出在 第一句,也有相当部分出在别的地方。 文章内部结构字词句的理解 包含两个元素:一个是单词,还有一个是句式词汇要求 5500个单词必须掌握以及一百多个常用词组,某些词汇是超纲词汇,而有些 词汇是相对比较简单的词汇。大纲要求,有三千个单词是复用单词。这些词 很有可能是以词汇和词义转换方式来考大家。比如教材19单元第1篇文章, 也就是教材的108页的第3段的第2行,condition.在这里,condition变成了一个 动词,代表的意思应该是影响。 词汇考查的两种类型:老词和新词 单词的同以替换:使用同义词将重点词替换掉。新词考的是辨识 四级和六级在单词上还是有相当大的区别,特别是新词的辨识以及对老词 的深度的挖掘句法分析长难句分析 英文难还是中文难? 其实英文比中文简单! 如何认识长难句 第一:长难句是常设的考点 第二:长难句会打断我们阅读的流畅性

2如何攻破长难句 一种微观,一种宏观 微观:句法分析,抓住核心的谓语动词,对于单词的词性要多注意 举例:阅读材料unit1passage2第1句话 Tosaythatthechildlearnsbyimitationandthatthewayto teachistosetagoodexampleoversimplifies. oversimplifies:过度简单化,为谓语动词 长难句分析时,注意每个单词的词性把握 constable:名词,意思是警察警官 function:变成动词,意思是起作用,运做宏观把握: 平均看文章时间4-5分钟,剩下大约4分钟做题 不仅练习语法分析,还要练习不需语法分析就能做题 欧洲语系英文最简单,英文词的变化很简单 在中级英语学习阶段,把翻译提到议事日程上来 把所有真题阅读中第一遍没看懂的句子全部摘抄下来,并且做中文翻译, 再做分类 对句子的了解,不仅会阅读理解产生很大的冲击,对听力和写作也会有相当大的冲击文章结构分析字词的理解和句子的理解是基础文章结构的把握 难文章看不懂还猜对了四道题? 容易文章看懂了还错四道题? 看不懂的文章分析力加强 看到简单文章掉以轻心 一篇文章如果话题简单,则论证逻辑特别复杂 文章结构形成六级阅读对考生的第二要求 文章结构的包含两个方面 一是文章的主旨和段落主旨 二是句子之间关系 作者意图和态度的考察,作者在写文章时带有立场 认识到文章的层面后,对文章的把握会更加全面,做题时损失更少 阅读的三种不同方式如何处理文章的方法取决于任务的要求第一种方法:扫读scanning在这个过程中绝对不可以对任何一句话做任何的理解第二种方法:跳读skimming在跳读之前大概知道哪些是重要的那些是次要的第三种方法:精读intensitvereading

3绝对不可逐句精读,应该选句精读 阅读文章时一定会把三种阅读方法揉合在一起,根据题目要求不同程度不同角度去处理文章阅读方法之:阅读习惯阅读习惯 阅读习惯在很多层面上决定着阅读效率高还是不高 阅读时情不自禁用嘴巴念,此时意思跟不上,速度跟不上,阅读时嘴巴不要发声 阅读时默念,要得到调整的前提是对词的反应能力很强 阅读时指读,不符合我们的阅读习惯,阅读时停留的部分是句法的基本义群 阅读时翻译,只有到精度时最多去翻译一下,在精度时做翻译也是不好的, 英文与中文永远不可能是一个词与一个词的对应,要懂得拿全句话 的语境来进行整体的推理和判断。字译不行,意译也不行 尽量避免阅读中不良习惯,越简单的材料越能锻炼人的语感,这需要长时间一定的坚持基本题型五种基本题型基本知识细节题:问一句话,查找的过程和读取的过程 查找的方法:按照关键线索单词去查找,关键词可能会被同义词替换 关键词不一定存在;按顺序去查找,出题顺序和行文顺序大体一致 正确答案多是原词的同义替换词 推理题:在同一逻辑层面上,讲的是同样的事 一个推理题等于好几个细节题,推理题的做法是排除法 推理题题干可能有推理推断这个词,infer 题干可能有学习这个词,learn 题干可能有学习这些词,know,why,reason 主旨题:询问本文的主要内容 themainideaofthepassage,thebesttitle,writingpurpose sumup,summarize 三个最集中出现主旨句地方:开门见山的第一句话;第一段的后面; 还有第二段的第一句话猜词题:这个词一定是超纲单词,需要客观的线索进行依据来猜测 态度题:这个态度是相当明确的,或者是支持或者是反对或者是中立永远不需一些暧昧的态度,考察的是作者的意图和态度,特别强调作者的用词,有时作者并不直白说,作者的态度感情还有立场都是通过一些具体单词所携带的感情来表示的看单词时看例句

4五种基本题型的重要性细节题,推理题,主旨题是几乎所有文章都会包含的,细节题几乎占40%的篇幅 推理题大约会占30%左右的篇幅 细节题非常重要,细节题做得好对推理题也有帮助阅读的整体把握练习题UnitOnePassageOneQuestions21to25arebasedonthefollowingpassage:Whathasthetelephonedonetous,orforus,inthehundredyearsofitsexistence?Afeweffectssuggestthemselvesatonce.Ithassavedlivesbygettingrapidwordofillness,injury,orfirefromremoteplaces.Byjoiningwiththeelevatortomakepossiblethemulti-storyresidenceorofficebuilding,ithasmadepossible—forbetterorworse—themoderncity.Bybringingaboutagreatleapinthespeedandeasewithwhichinformationmovesfromplacetoplace,ithasgreatlyacceleratedtherateofscientificandtechnologicalchangesandgrowthinindustry.Beyonddoubtithasseriouslyweakenedifnotkilledtheancientartofletterwriting.Ithasmadelivingalonepossibleforpersonswithnormalsocialimpulses;bysodoing,ithasplayedaroleinoneofthegreatestsocialchangesofthiscentury,thebreakupofthemulti-generationalhousehold.Ithasmadethewarchillinglymoreefficientthanformerly.Perhaps,thoughnotprovably(可证实),ithaspreventedwarsthatmighthavearisenoutofinternationalmisunderstandingcausedbywrittencommunication.Orperhaps—againnotprovably—bymagnifyingandextendingirrationalpersonalconflictsbasedonvoicecontact,ithascausedwars.Certainlyithasextendedthescopeofhumanconflicts,sinceitimpartiallydisseminates(传播)theusefulknowledgeofscientistsandthenonsenseoftheignorant,theaffectionoftheaffectionateandthemalice(恶意)ofthemalicious.21.Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?A)Thetelephonehashelpedtosavepeoplefromillnessandfire.B)Thetelephonehashelpedtopreventwarsandconflicts.C)Thetelephonehasmadethemoderncityneitherbetternorworse.D)Thetelephonehashadpositiveaswellasnegativeeffectsonus.22.Accordingtothepassage,itisthetelephonethat.A)hasmadeletterwritinganartB)haspreventedwarsbyavoidingwrittencommunicationC)hasmadetheworlddifferentfromwhatitwasD)hascausedwarsbymagnifyingandextendinghumanconflicts23.Thetelephonehasintensifiedconflictsamongpeoplebecause.A)itincreasesthedangerofwar
