Skimming 略读
略读,顾名思义就是要求考生在较短时间内把握住文章某个段落的主题思想。我们首先来看一下2010年6月份快速阅读第一题:
1. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?
A) Her daughters repeated complaints.
B) Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.
C) The poorly managed state of her house.
D) The high financial costs adding up.
一般来说快速阅读的第一题往往是针对文章的开头部分。以该题为例,基本上所有考生都能够定位到第一段。可是第一段到底应该怎么读就成了个大问题。
A few months ago, it wasnt unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. Shed wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.
诚然,从头到尾 快速 读完确实是个办法 而且也是绝大多数考生使用的办法,但这样做完全失去了skimming的意义。换个角度来说,如果每个题目都像这样把段落读完,那么十道题加在一起所积累的阅读量势必将超过15分钟的大限。其实大部分文章的段落重点或者说中心都集中在首末句上。略读所要考察的就是考生是否敢于大胆抓住首末句,抛去段落中间的无效部分,从而迅速找到答案。以本题而言,该段最后一句,尤其是but之后的 it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem 就是答案所在位置。故而选择A选项。
