　　點(diǎn)評

　　Passage One

　　本文是環(huán)保類題材的文章，主要談?wù)撚捎谌祟惢顒?海洋捕撈、近�；顒�)以及氣候變暖等因素，海龜數(shù)量急劇下降。

　　首先根據(jù)題干信息，分別將5個題目進(jìn)行定位。第一、二和五題有著明確的定位信息，而第三、四題的關(guān)鍵詞是Elizabeth Griffin和global warming，五道題目分別定位在第一段、第二段首句、第三段、末段和末段結(jié)尾句。接下來是理解定位，排除干擾項(xiàng)。52題是推論題，四個選項(xiàng)初看都像是正確答案，但通過理解，發(fā)現(xiàn)文章第一段都在談?wù)撊藗冊诒Ｗo(hù)海龜方面付出的努力，而最后一句中all the attention 是對前面的總結(jié)，而正確選項(xiàng)B中efforts替換原文中的attention，dying out替換原文中的go extinct，運(yùn)用同義替換原則。又如第55題，對于global warming的影響，錯誤項(xiàng)BCD中均有提到eggs, hatch, grow, beach等相關(guān)核心詞，但由于細(xì)節(jié)表述有誤，因此需要考生仔細(xì)閱讀辨析后排除錯誤答案。

　　而最后一題對應(yīng)文章末句“Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龍) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.” 考生需要在短時間之內(nèi)分析這個長句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)，理清句子思路。而該句的關(guān)鍵是or，如果兩邊成分一致表示“或者”，如果成分不一致，表示“否則”，而這里應(yīng)該是后者。that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龍)是定語從句修飾a creature, leaving our descendants to wonder是分詞作定語，修飾前面整句話，how引導(dǎo)賓語從句。

　　Passage Two

　　此文是典型的教育類文章，在六級考試中，教育類文章一般會深入探討教育體制和教育弊端。這篇閱讀有一個new idea是即使大學(xué)教育是一種高消費(fèi)，但作者仍鼓勵和支持人們進(jìn)入大學(xué)深造，把大學(xué)作為一種投資和商品的結(jié)合;這與以往六級閱讀大走“批判路線”有所不同�？傮w來說，這篇閱讀比上篇閱讀要簡單一些，因?yàn)檩^好定位。文章一共5段，每一段對應(yīng)一道題。

　　要做好這篇文章需要把握兩點(diǎn)：1. 明確本文中心：即作者對于花錢上大學(xué)的態(tài)度(肯定or否定);2. 定位到原文后做題時，即使不太確定整句話的意思，但只要注意幾個關(guān)鍵詞就大功告成。 如第57題定位于第一段But之后，雖然是個長句，但是主要抓住關(guān)鍵families can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that should yield huge dividends，而最重點(diǎn)就是yield huge dividends，可見作者是持肯定態(tài)度的，從而排除了ABD這三個持否定態(tài)度的答案。又如第58題，考生可能對“l(fā)abor-market premium to skill”理解不透，不過沒有關(guān)系，考場上只要看懂earn這一詞，還有decrease這一詞，就明白這句話談?wù)摰氖怯嘘P(guān)收入earning。本篇較為容易的題有59、60、61題，59題靠2個數(shù)字就可解答出正確答案，而60、61題基本上答案就是原文中詞匯。
