谈大学英语四级考试仔细阅读部分主旨题的解法（一）
C.all town garages had a lot to offer D.people enjoyed going out for a drive辨别和理解文章的中心思想是大学英语四级考试阅读测试的重中之重，2006年修订的新四级考试大纲仍然将对此项能力的考查置于首位(见大纲第9页，上海外语教育出版社)。新四级仔细阅读部分(Reading in Depth)选择题型的篇章阅读中，与此项能力直接相关的一种题型称为主旨题。本文将根据笔者平时的教学经验，谈谈在该题型解题方法方面的心得体会。

2012年6月四级真题_英语四级2012年6月真题
主旨题的识别一般都很简单，直接询问考生全文的中心思想是什么，通常包括三种形式：主题大意(main idea)、写作目的(pure)和文章标题(title)。常见的问法有以下几种：
1、 The main idea of this passage is…
2、 The major point of this passage is…
3、 This passage is mainly about…
4、 This passage mainly talks about/ discusses…
5、 This passage gives a general description of…
6、 The author’s pure in writing this passage is…
7、 The title of this passage is…
8、 This passage can be entitled…
如何确定一篇文章的中心思想呢?我们知道，新四级的仔细阅读部分，选择题型的篇章阅读共两篇文章，十道题目，要求考生在15分钟之内完成，平均每篇文章大约7-8分钟的时间，其中文章的阅读大约3-4分钟的时间。在这么短的时间内读完一篇300-350字的文章，逐字逐句通读全文寻找主旨的方法就显得不切合实际了，这必然要求考生采用适当的阅读技巧。为此，笔者建议考生采用略读(skimming)和跳读(skip-reading)相结合的阅读方式。
略读是一种浏览式的阅读方法，其主要目的是为了快速有效地把握文章的主旨大意，是平时为了大量获取信息和各种英语应试阅读别常用而且极为重要的一种阅读方法。这种方法主要是指在阅读过程中，只关注与全文大意密切相关的主题信息，而忽略其它支持性的细节信息。四级考试中，阅读文章主要以说明文和议论文为主，一篇文章的主题信息通常会出现在以下几处：一、文章各段的首句和尾句。这些处于较明显、较特殊位置的句子往往是段落和文章的主题句，具有相当大的重要性;二、强转折处。通常以but, howr, rather, yet, instead等词为标志，这些词汇后面的句子是主题性信息;三、因果关系处。通常以therefore, as a result, thus, so, That is why…等词语或句式为标志，这些词汇或句式后面的句子是主题性信息;四、递进处。通常以moreover, furthermore, what’s more, what’s the most important, most important of all, most importantly等词汇或短语为标志，这些词汇或短语后面出现的信息是被强调的信息，即主题信息出现的地方;五、例证处。通常以for example, for instance, Let’s take…, Consider…等词汇、短语或句式为标志，这些词汇、短语或句式表示举例，也是支持性的细节信息，位于例子前后的句子一般都是例子要说明的主题;六、并列处。通常以firstly, secondly…finally, some…others…, for one thing…for another, on the one hand…on the other hand等组合为标志，这些组合都是支持性的细节信息，位于这些组合前后的句子一般都是这些细节信息所要支持的主题。
跳读可以作为略读的辅助。跳读旨在掌握文章的全貌和要点，但又不必将文章中所有的词句全部都读进眼帘，句子中期补充说明、修饰限定作用的，在跳读过程中就可以略去不读。因此，跳读主要是为了抓住句子的主干部分，忽略次要部分，这种阅读方法并不影响读者对于文章主题信息的把握。当主题信息处是长难句时，这种方式尤为有效。跳读可以分为以下三种形式：一、根据特殊的标点符号提示，采用跳读法。文章中的标点符号都有其一定的含义。如：两个逗号之间是插入成分或同位语;括号内表示举例或补充说明;冒号通常用来列举事物、附加解释说明性内容;破折号通常放在解释性分句或句子前，或是用来列举前面总括的若干内容，或是放在解释性的插入语之前或之后等。阅读时，可以将两个逗号之间的部分、括号内的部分、冒号后的部分、破折号后的部分和两个破折号之间的部分省略不读;二、根据句法结构，采用跳读法。主要是在遇到长难句时，抓住句子的主干部分，即主语部分、谓语部分和宾语部分，而其它补充成分，即定语(从句)、状语(从句)和补语部分可以略去不读;三、根据文章结构和组织形式及段落间逻辑关系、主题句等，采用跳读法。阅读时，重点关注主题句、表明作者观点的词句，对于举例论证、引用论证、数据论证、正反论证、比喻论证等部分则一带而过，跳过不读。
当我们采用略读和跳读两种方法找到一篇文章的主题信息之后，全文的主旨又在哪里呢?是不是就是把所读到的主题信息句简单相加呢?我们知道，一篇好的文章是一个有机的整体，其内部的信息是按照一定的思维模式逻辑地组合在一起的，这种严密的组合就是文章的结构。全文主旨的确认是离不开文章结构的，因为主旨就是作者的逻辑思维模式。
笔者根据历年四级考试真题中的文章结构，将四级仔细阅读文章中心思想获取的方式大致划分为五种。下面分别举例说明：
1、综合型
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did yo wonder how it is sible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or n an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
We also l people apart by how they behe. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “n face” looked like, you probably would he a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “n person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an Amer44. H) maintainican psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behior. And many of us use this rmation as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.
People he always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience wher they played the villain’s(坏人)or the ’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most evision and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily l the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions. (1996年6月四级真题)
70. Which of the following is the major point of the passage?
A) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality
B) Why it is sible to describe people
C) How to get to know people
D) How best to recognize people

写作
解析：与去年的图画作文模式不同，今年又重新回到了话题作文的形式，并且所给话题也是考生非常熟悉的，很容易展开思路。更令人惊奇的是今年的作文虽然有三个话题，但是话题设定的背景信息是趋同的，都是说外国朋友要来或来你的家乡或来你的学校，让你介绍一下/家乡/学校的特色，目的还是为了推介我们本土的文化特色，看来出题人是越来越看重传统文化的弘扬了。去年的翻译题当中就出现了一系列的对传统文化的介绍，像中餐，结，茶文化，园林，中秋等等。所以说，文化题材，特别是有关文化特色的题材要成为以后大家复习的重点内容。以后备考的同学一定要多联系这个文化题材的翻译和写作。

翻译题目一：为了促进教育公平，已投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设施和中强中西部地区农村义务教育(compulsory education)。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍，使16万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。
【翻译译文】：In order to promote equity in education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of educational facilities in rural areas and strengthening of rural compulsory education Midwest. These funds were used to improve the teaching facilities, purchase of books, so that more than 160,000 primary and secondary income. Funds are also used to purchase music and painting equipment. Now children in rural and mountainous areas with children’s coastal cities like music and painting lessons. Some receive a better education for the city school students now transferred back to the local rural schools.
翻译题目二：应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%，该比例在所有核中居第30位，几乎是的。2011年3月日本核电站后，的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才能又谨慎的恢复。随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核的可能性完全可以降低到限度。换句话说核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
【翻译译文】
China should further dlop nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity currently. Such proportion ranks the thirti in all the countries sessing nuclear power, which is almost the last.
After Japan’s nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power dlopment in China was suspended, so was the approval of new nuclear power plants. Also, the national safety check for the nuclear power was carried out. IT was not until October 2012 that the approval was prudently resumed.
With the improvement of technology and safety measures, there is little sibility for nuclear accidents to happen. In other words, there won’t be any trouble to dlop and exploit the nuclear power.
翻译题目三：教育工作者早就认识到读书对于的重要意义，有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他
【翻译译文】Chinese education workers he already realized the significance of reading for a nation. Some workers suggested that we should he a national reading day in 2003. They emphasized that people should read good books especially the classical ones. Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative. The goal of education is to cultivate these basic personalities. Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students. Supe they don't nurture the interest of reading at that key moment, it will be harder to dlop a habit to read books.
点评：翻译部分的难度比2013年的考试是有所变化的，具体表现为：考试重心转向于文化和发展——教育公平，培养读书习惯和核能的开发。翻译与作文对于句型的应用是一样的，但词汇方面则要注意“语内翻译”方法的应用，把原文中的陌生词汇转化为熟知词汇，应用起来得心应手。

1. 有的人赞同大学生在校外租房住;有道是得阅读者得四级，阅读的分数占英语四级总分的百分之三十五，不用紧张，同学们认真备考多练习，定然能考出好的成绩。以下共 4篇 阅读。
Howr, is it a good or bad thing to he so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.阅读一
Like many lovers of books, Mary and her huand, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar, ”says Mary. One figure caught her attention：She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100, 000 cost, they drew some of their sings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.
The store merely broke n in its first year, with only $120, 000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420, 000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks. Richard and Mary toger earn about $34, 000.
“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income, ”says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about a lot of money. ”

How the Young Scientist Challenge Works
Introduction to the Young Scientist Challenge
All of us he taken a science class at one time or another. Some recall science with feelings of excent, wonder and awe. Some continue their studies in science throughout the rest of their education. And some n take their love of science and make a career out of it. But for most, science is not a happy subject. Do you think back to studying science and get a feeling of dread, anxiety or fear? When did you lose interest in science — sometime around middle school? Well, you’re not alone.
Studies he shown that an interest in science is either piqued or lost in middle school. Think back to that time in your life. It probably wasn’t the best time, was it? That time is full of awkwardness, pain and peer pressure. At that age, children begin to really grow and mature. And in doing that, they begin to find out what they’re really interested in. But children are also extremely impressionable, and their friends may not like the interests they’re dloping. Let’s face it — science and math aren’t the most glamorous subjects around, and kids don’t want to seem uncool. So they give up science and move on to study other things.
But those kids who give up science and math miss so much that it’s nearly imsible for them to catch up with their peers. So educators are taking a proactive stance and doing rything they can to keep interests high — they want science and math to be cool again. But it’s not just teachers that are noticing the er of losing students. Corporations are, too. After all, if no one is studying science, who’s going to come to work for them one day? Two companies are n partnering to promote science nationally. Discovery Education and 3M he come toger to present a national science competition, Young Scientist Challenge. How does this challenge work? Who can participate, and how do students get started? Read on to find out how you can become a young scientist.
The Young Scientist Challenge from the Beginning
The challenge began in 1999 after Discovery Communications notd the waning interest in science. After reading the studies about middle school children, it wanted to do soming to make it exciting, so the company created a contest in the hope of science fun. Since the competition began, countless students he competed for a nomination to participate in the challenge, with just 51 of those winning that nomination each year (one from each state and the District of Columbia). From there, only 10 students secure a place in the finals and win an all-expense paid trip to the competition.
If you want to be the 10th the Young Scientist, crack open your comr and bust out your video camera. If you’re in the fifth through the eighth grades, you can register at Discovery Education. Once registration has been completed and accepted, it’s time to get creative.
Each year the judges choose a theme for the challenge. They can be huge topics, but don’t let that scare you. Along with the theme, the judges also release topics for students to focus on. This s to keep rything fair — and not overwhelming.
Once you pick your topic, it’s time to start writing, but you’ll need to write a script instead of an essay. Students are required to submit a video showing off their knowledge of their topic of cho. But think tw before you hire actors or a director. Videos will be accepted only if the student is the only one in the video and if the video is obviously done by the student. “Producing” isn’t allowed.
You’d better keep it short and sweet, too. Video submissions he to be longer than 60 seconds but can’t exceed 120 seconds. In those two minutes, the judges will be looking for creativity, relevance, persuasiveness, classroom suitability and overall presentation. Once your video is ready to go, upload it to the Web site and sit tight. Discovery will alert you of the winners sometime over the summer. But you’re not in the clear yet. Of the 51 winners (one from each state and the District of Columbia), only 10 will be officially invited to attend the challenge.
The Finals of the Young Scientist Challenge
Stn Jacobs is an accomplished scientist, teacher and author with more than two decades of experience and three aanced degrees. He’s also the head judge for the Discovery Education and 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Judge Jake, as the contestants refer to him, is accompanied on the judge’s panel by a mixture of historians, producers, physicians, marine biologists and other scientists. As we mentioned in the previous section, the judges determine the theme and the topics, as well as watch all of the video submissions and narrow the contestants down to 10.
Over the course of the final competition, the contestants will face a series of challenges laid out by the judges. What kind of challenges, you ask? No one will know until the competition begins. It’s top secret. Some past challenges he included building greenhouses to seal off CO2 and investigating serious health concerns. The only hint the contestants get is that all of the challenges will revolve around the theme.
The challenges are designed to highlight a student’s leadership, teark, problem-solving skills and communication. At the end of the competition one student will stand out amongst the finalists, and he or she will be named America’s Top Young Scientist of the Year. And while the title’s n, let’s get to the prizes.
The winner is not the only one who gets awards. Each of the 51 semifinalists will get $, along with a certificate and T-shirt. The 10 finalists will get these things, as well as a paid trip to the competition, $1,000 and a medal. But this is nothing compared to what the grand prize winner gets: all of the above s, plus $50,000 in U.S. Sings Bonds, a trophy and bragging rights for being the artest kid on the block.
