英語四級閱讀理解的解題思路

同學想要在大學英語四級考試的閱讀理解部分拿高分，那就要掌握一些解題思路。爲此本站小編爲大家帶來大學英語四級閱讀理解的解題思路。

(1)、態度題表現形式

態度題一般提問方式是：The author’s attitude towards ┄ is _____.或者是What is the author’s attitude towards ┄ ?

(2)、態度題解題方法

從原則上來講，態度題可以考查作者對一箇中心話題的看法，也可以考查作者對某一具體細節的態度，但是從歷年考法來看，四級閱讀更加註重考查文章中心話題。所以，態度題經常可以通過文章主題來判斷作者的態度。如2003年6月考題，

原文首句：It’s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them.

題目：The author’s attitude towards the judge’s ruling could be described as______.

A) doubtful B) critical C) cautious D) supportive

全文首句可以體現文章討論的中心話題，它明確道出了作者的觀點：有時小孩與養父母在一起比與親生父母在一起更好。而原文中judge’s ruling的結果就是把小孩判給了養父，所以作者一定會持支持態度，故選D。

(3)、態度題注意點

考生應該熟練掌握在態度題中經常出現的單詞，如positive, negative, optimistic, pessimistic, approving, concerned, objective, compromise等。另外，從以前四級考試的情況來看，作者的態度一般是或褒或貶，或樂觀或擔憂，中性評價爲正確答案的較少。

(1)、詞彙題表現形式

詞彙題一般會明確地告訴考生出題點在哪裏，不需要考生查找所考查內容。它可以考一個單詞的含義，一個詞組的意思，或者考一個句子的弦外之音。

(2)、詞彙題解題方法

詞彙題是考生得分率較低的一類題，因爲它需要考生從上下文中進行分析，推敲單詞背後的意思。問單詞或詞組的意思，加強調上下文邏輯分析;有時用轉折邏輯，但更多是利用並列邏輯，比如1997年1月份考題，

原文：This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

60. “Shadowland”in the last sentence refers to .

A) the wonderland one often dreams about

B) the bright future that one is looking forward to

C) the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached

D) a world that exists only in one's imagination

此題解法有多種，其中可以利用並列關係來求解。首先，and後面的句子告訴我們“任何有夢想的人必須要學會在那裏生活”，這暗含了“那裏”不好的環境。再從and可知，兩個分句的邏輯是一致的，據此Shadowland也應該是不利的環境，故選擇C項。

考句子的含義，查找答案的方向還得做一個細分：如果句子簡單，一般在上下文中尋找答案;如果句子複雜，則更加傾向於在句子內部找答案。

(3)、詞彙題注意點

如果考簡單單詞，正確答案會與該單詞的常用意思沒有多大關係;如果考難詞，感覺很難有分析的線索時，就把四個選項代到原文中，使得原文邏輯正確，意思同學的爲正確答案;如果考句子的含義而導致分析完全沒有思路時，不妨結合文章問題來分析，可以體現主題，或與主題的'邏輯一致，一般就是答案。

Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil,water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world:

We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.

Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."

1.[B] 題乾的句子是文章第1段第3句，這是一個帶有插入語的簡單句，contrary在此表示跟part of nature相反，因此答案爲B。

2.[D] 第2段最後一句提到，我們必須更加關注吸收少量殺蟲劑的潛在後果，它們正在不知不覺地污染我們的世界。因此，作者對殺蟲劑對環境的影響關注且擔憂,D符合題意。

3.[A] 第2段第2句提到，殺蟲劑使人突然發病或者死亡是很令人難過的亊，對於人口整體來說，人類對殺蟲劑長期累計的潛在後果的認識不足，纔是最嚴重的問題，故選A。

4.[C] 根據第3段倒數第2句說的“對未來的災難無動於衷是人的本性”以及最後一句說的"大多數人只對有明顯跡象的疾病予以關注”可知C正是人們忽視化學藥物的潛在危害的原因，故選C。

5.[D] Dubos博士話中“最可怕的敵人”指的是“殺蟲劑引起的潛在危險”，博士話中的slowly approach them unnoticed直接表明D正確。
