近几年英语四级阅读一个很有意思的趋势就是文章段落数在不断增加。2008年12月份的两篇文章首度突破十段话的大关,到了2009年12月份更是涨到了14段。今年6月份的考题整体难度偏低,但两篇文章也都有6、7段。由此看来,现在的命题者似乎特别偏好这样一类文章散文。当然,此处笔者所谓的散文不是指文体,而是就其结构特点而言:文章段落多,每段话却又只有寥寥数语。
碰到这种文章,考生朋友们似乎都感觉很棘手。文章不仅篇幅冗长而且结构模糊,林林总总十几段话着实不知道该从何下手。试图全文通读,怎奈阅读速度所限无法实现;想逐个击破,却又不知从何处读起只好望洋兴叹。
其实应对这种考题模式万变不离其宗的规律就是从题干入手,挑选关键词,藉由关键词的提示迅速判断有效段落的位置,各个击破,从而提高效率。在此不妨以2009年12月份的阅读文章为例。(有删节)
Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how theyll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, Im more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the worlds attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
