2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級考試快速閱讀分析

　　5.According to Orzack, people who struggle with heavy reliance on the Internet may feel ______.

　　A. depressed B. pressured C. puzzled D. discouraged

　　本題題干中的“struggle with heavy reliance on the Internet may feel”對應(yīng)在文章第15節(jié)的首句“People who struggle with excessive Internet use may be depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said.”這一題是本次快速閱讀題目中最為簡單的一道，文中看到“depressed”，故答案選擇A。

　　6. Why did Andrew Heidrich cut back on online gaming?

　　A. He had offended his relatives.

　　B. He had lost a lot of money.

　　C. His family had intervened.

　　D. His career had been ruined.

　　本題題干中的關(guān)鍵詞也是非常明顯，“Andrew Heidrich” 作為人名，首次出現(xiàn)在文章第17節(jié)，而“cut back …”出現(xiàn)在該節(jié)最后一句，所以答案就定位在最后一句了：He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention in which relatives told him he’d gained weight. 可能本題讓考生感到稍微有一點麻煩的是，A選項中出現(xiàn)了“relatives”，C選項中出現(xiàn)了“family”，雖然可以排除B和D兩個選項，但是A和C又作如何區(qū)別呢?遇到這種情況，大家不要緊張，只需再多看一個單詞就夠了，我們在原文中還看到了“intervention”，而只有C選項中出現(xiàn)了它的動詞形式“intervened”，所以答案就是C。

　　下面我們接著看一下后面三個完成句子的解法。對于完成句子來說，也要記住五個字“句子要審全”。快速閱讀中的完成句子本身難度不大，但是命題者會故意通過改變句式、人稱、單復(fù)數(shù)等手段，改變句子的語法屬性，給考生設(shè)置陷阱。所以，對于這個題型，我們一定要注意把句子審全�？偟膩碚f，今年的四個完成句子比09年12月份的要簡單一些，雖仍有陷阱，但不至于讓考生無法識別。下面來具體分析一下。

　　8.In one of the messages she posted on a website, Toebe admitted that she ______.

　　按照我們課堂上講的“自然段定位”原則，最后四題可供選擇的文章范圍已經(jīng)很小了，本題題干關(guān)鍵詞對應(yīng)的是第19節(jié)的最后一句：She posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject online: “ I have an Internet Addiction.” 考生容易發(fā)現(xiàn)答案其實就在最后的引號之中，但是如果考生直接填寫“have an Internet Addiction”的話，就陷入了命題者設(shè)置的陷阱之中。題目中使用的是第三人稱Toebe，同時使用的是一般過去時態(tài)，這兩個語法屬性的改變決定了本題答案只能是“had an Internet Addiction”。有的考生題目審不全，會填成“has an Internet Addiction”，只注意到了人稱變化，沒注意到時態(tài)變化，是錯誤的。

　　9.Excessive Internet use had rendered Toebe so poor that she couldn’t afford to seek ______.

　　本題對應(yīng)的是文章20節(jié)的最后一句：I have no money or insurance to get professional help,題干進(jìn)行了一個簡單的同意轉(zhuǎn)換，原文中的“get”， 變成了“seek”， 考生如果發(fā)現(xiàn)這一點，就很容易得出答案：professional help。

　　10.Now that she’s got a boyfriend, Toebe is no longer crazy about ______.

　　最后這個題目出現(xiàn)在文章最后一節(jié)：I have a boyfriend now, and I’m not interested in online dating. 本題依然用了一個小的同意轉(zhuǎn)換，原文中的“interested in”，變成了“crazy about”，所以本題答案是：online dating。

　　從上面三個完成句子的分析中可以看出，這種題型唯一能給考生設(shè)置難度障礙的就是改變句子的語法屬性，設(shè)置語法陷阱，而考生只要記得“句子要審全”，這個障礙自然就很容易突破了。

　　總的來說，今年的四級快速閱讀題目不難，同學(xué)們只要把握我在課堂上講過的一些基本方法和技巧，學(xué)會跳著讀、挑著讀，學(xué)會讀段落首尾句(今年這篇快速閱讀的十個題目，除最后一個題目出現(xiàn)在最后一節(jié)的中間一句外，其它九個題目全部為段落首尾句)，學(xué)會克制自己習(xí)慣性的思考，學(xué)會把句子審全，這篇文章一定可以做得很好。

　　快速閱讀原文：

　　Caught in the Web

　　A few months ago, it wasn’t unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She’d 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.

　　“I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression,” said Carla. “I knew that if I didn’t get off the dating sites, I’d just keep going,” detaching herself further from the outside world.

　　Toebe’s conclusion: She felt like she was “addicted” to the Internet. She’s not alone.

　　Concern about excessive Internet use isn’t new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There is still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.
