大學英語四級備考：長篇閱讀答題技巧
答題技巧
1.整體把握文章的脈絡至關重要。
段落信息匹配題的題目的順序與文章的行文順序完全不符，這就要求考生在閱讀文章時整體把握文章的結構和脈絡，熟悉文章的寫作思路，基本能做到理解每題的中心思想后，能大體定位到文章的相應部分，而不是漫無目的地在全文的每個段落里搜尋。如樣題中的文章：首先引出話題;中間部分主要談論兩方面的內容大學在全球網羅人才和開展工作，同時大學也在重塑研究方法;最后是大學全球化的影響和作用。把文章這樣分成四個部分以后，根據每個題目的內容，就可以找到大體的位置。
2.準確理解題目的內容是前提。
每一道題都是原文信息的再現或轉述，只有理解了題目所述內容，才能做好后面的段落信息定位。理解題目內容的關鍵是：抓句子的主干。冗長的句子，只要抓住了其主干，就不難理解句子的主要含義了。
3.找準題目中的定位關鍵詞是關鍵。
每一道題都是原文信息的再現或轉述，只要找準關鍵詞才能準確定位到原文的段落中。關鍵詞多為：a. 名詞或名詞短語，這類詞是題目和文章談論的對象，同義替換的可能性較小，是比較可靠的定位關鍵詞，如樣題中第46題中的American universities, global careers, internship 都可以在原文中直接找到;b.數字，如數量、年份等，這類詞同義替換的可能性非常小，是較理想的定位關鍵詞，如樣題中第47題中的3.9 percent, 是原文信息的再現;c. 專有名詞，如人名、地名、機構名、特殊物質等，這類詞幾乎沒有同義替換或轉述的可能性，是非常理想的定位關鍵詞，如樣題中第55題中的Danah Boyd就是一個專有名詞，可以在原文中直接找到。
二、高分技巧
段落信息匹配題的一般解題步驟是：讀題并確定關鍵詞去原文中定位關鍵詞分析定位句分析題干確定答案。具體的解題技巧如下：
1.用打包方法對付亂序
把整組題全部一次性吃透，然后去原文從頭到尾定位。否則，考生如果按照順序逐題解答，時間會嚴重不足，最好是文章一遍看下來，能找到所有的信息。此外，考生應該注意定位原文的過程中，一定要腦、眼和手并用：眼是肯定要用的，不用腦會導致忽視同義轉換，不用手會使我們處于走馬觀花的狀態，然后會懷疑自己是不是漏掉了信息而反復地看。
2.吃透題干準確判斷關鍵詞至關重要
如果沒吃透題干，就無法準確判斷關鍵詞或中心詞，就有可能對原文的重要信息沒感覺。一般來說，題干關鍵詞或中心詞為實詞以及一些數字、專有名詞等。
3.在解題的先后順序上，采用先易后難的策略
采用由易到難的解題策略，可以提升考生的解題信心。對于那些答題線索較少的題干細節信息，考生可留在最后再解答。在解答這類較難的題目時，考生可快速閱讀原文中仍未選過的段落的主題句，然后根據段落大意與題干中的細節信息進行匹配。
例：Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains in information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.
