2023年英语四级快速阅读攻略：略读和跳读配合。
快速阅读从2006年6月份首次出现到现在，题型的难度一直在稳步递增，其中也包含了题型的改变。这既折射出了命题者对该部分题型命制的探索与不断创新，也反映出了命题者在反复调整题型的难度系数，想要给该部分寻找到一个合适的分量。这种尝试既有成功，但也有欠考虑之处。考生普遍反映2009年12月份快速阅读难度过大，个别题目超出了四级甚至是六级考试大纲的要求。好在命题者也是从善如流2010年两套试题难度都有了明显的下降，回落到了2009年6月份的水平。可以这么说，在历经了2006年到2009年四年摸着石头过河的经历之后快速阅读命题基本思路已定。据此，可以大胆断言，在未来两到三年中快速阅读的难度与题型都不再会有任何大幅度或者是出人意料的调整，这对应试者而言的确是个好消息。下面，将结合近两年真题为各位考生揭开快速阅读解题的神秘面纱：
两大基本考点skimming和scanning
其实快速阅读这个称谓是对这部分题型名称的一种误解，甚或说是一种误译。实际上试题册上所给的题型英文名称是Reading Comprehension 阅读理解。不少考生正是由于受到所谓快速两字的误导，以为单纯求快就可以万事大吉，殊不知这其中是另有隐情。
Skimming略读
略读，顾名思义就是要求考生在较短时间内把握住文章某个段落的主题思想。我们首先来看一下2010年6月份快速阅读第一题：
1. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?
A) Her daughters repeated complaints.
B) Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.
C) The poorly managed state of her house.
D) The high financial costs adding up.
一般来说快速阅读的第一题往往是针对文章的开头部分。以该题为例，基本上所有考生都能够定位到第一段。可是第一段到底应该怎么读就成了个大问题。
A few months ago, it wasnt unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. Shed 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.
诚然，从头到尾快速读完确实是个办法而且也是绝大多数考生使用的办法，但这样做完全失去了skimming的意义。换个角度来说，如果每个题目都像这样把段落读完，那么十道题加在一起所积累的阅读量势必将超过15分钟的大限。其实大部分文章的段落重点或者说中心都集中在首末句上。略读所要考察的就是考生是否敢于大胆抓住首末句，抛去段落中间的无效部分，从而迅速找到答案。以本题而言，该段最后一句，尤其是but之后的it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem就是答案所在位置。故而选择A选项。
再看2009年6月的快速阅读第六题：
6. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLCs workshop?
A) It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.
B) It tapped into the executives full potential.
C) It helped him make fair decisions.
D) It met participants diverse needs.
这道题在当年得分率非常低。原因就在于这道题对应的可能段落有两段而不是一段：
I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . Dales assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organizations ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .
I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision . Dale credits the workshop , because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .
这道题目的要求更高。考生不仅要知道重点在两个段落的首末句上，还需要结合题目所问，对这四个句子孰轻孰重作出预先判断，然后再进行阅读。题目问的是Dale对这个研讨班的看法。据此看来一段第一句无效，因其起始部分讲到的是Dale在公司的position。同样该段末句也无效，Dales assumptions讲的是Dale原先的一些错误想法和做法。很可惜的是当年不少考生都在这两个句子上耗费了大量时间，甚至还有个别考生通读该段，这样自然是得不偿失。
再来看下一段的第一句，I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation。这句话有用吗?显然也不行。因为它所讲到的是Dale在学习班里的收获。最后一句说道because it helped me make decisions based on fairness。读到这里第六题的答案也就顺理成章的选择C了。
2010年6月第七题：
7. Andrew Heidrich now visits websites that discuss online gaming addiction to __________.
A) improve his online gaming skills
B) curb his desire for online gaming
C) show how good he is at online gaming
D) exchange online gaming experience
这道题和上述第六题颇有些相像。它对应的段落，也就是出现了Heidrich这个人物的段落，同样也是两段：
Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but thats nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention , in which relatives told him hed gained weight.
Theres this whole culture of competition that sucks people in with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives. Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.
如果读者朋友掌握了我们刚才所讲的方法自然就会觉得这题就比较轻松了。同样是抓住两个段落的四个重点句，然后根据题干进行判断。分析过程这里就不再赘述。很明显第二段最后一句是符合要求的。Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.所以答案选择B。
通过上面三个例子的分析，我们不难看出四级快速阅读略读相对而言是比较容易掌握的。在确定出对应段落后直接分析它的首末句就可以了。只不过个别难题还要求结合题干逐一对照比较分析，在若干个首末句当中挑选出最合适的。还有一点不知道读者朋友有没有发现，实际上，在首句和末句当中最后能够充当答案的往往还是最后一句。记住这个小规律了对于提高解题速度也大有帮助。
Scanning跳读
跳读其实对大家来说就比较熟悉了。首先是找准题干关键词，然后带入原文定位寻找答案。段落中与关键词无关部分可以一概略去不看。每次快速阅读考试都有几个直接定关键词就能得答案的送分题。比如2009年6月份第三题：
3. What is becoming essential in the course of economic globalization according to the author?
A) Hiring qualified technical and management personnel.
B) Increasing understanding of people of other cultures.
C) Constantly updating knowledge and equipment.
D) Expanding domestic and international markets.
题目问在经济全球经济一体化的进程中什么变得非常重要。本题的关键词为essential，带入到文章中很快发现它出现在全文第五段：Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions. 题目简单就简单在essential之后的部分便是我们要找的内容expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions，答案选择B。
快速阅读中的填空题更也几乎全部依靠跳读来定位。比如2010年6月第十题：
10. Now that shes got a boyfriend, Toebe is no longer crazy about __________.
题目的关键词当然是Toebe，再加上这又是最后一题，所以很快判断出应该到最后一段答案。
Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. I have a boyfriend now, and Im not interested in online dating, she said by phone last week. Its a lot better now.
题目横线之前最后几个词是crazy about。这个词组没有在原文出现，不过却出现了近义词组interested in，所以在其后的短语online dating就成为了本题的答案。
结合刚才两道题大家应该看到，跳读的基础是要找准关键词。一般说来，专有名词、时间数字、特殊名词短语这三类词汇是最容易被选中作为关键词的，因为它们标记明显，非常易于辨认。
不过近几年也出现了不少有一定挑战性的题目。例如2008年6月第二题：
2. With the increase in the number of TV channels_________.
A) the cost of TV advertising has decreased
B) the nuiflber of TV viewers has increased
C) advertisers interest in other media has decreased
D) the number of TV ads people can see has increased
Televisions influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.
在本段中TV channels或者channel这个词多次出现给考生带来了不小的挑战。显然通读全段是不现实的。在这里也再次提醒读者注意，在应试过程中通读原文是万万不可采用的方法，很明显这样做也是违背了命题的初衷。比较现实的方法是找到该段中所有出现channel的句子，逐个与题目要求做比较，从而快速判断。一个个比较下来之后发现，在second这个词后面的句子是最符合题意的。there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers电视频道的增加意味着观众能看到的广告数量增加了。这样不难看出D为正确答案。
细心的读者可能已经发现了，无论是skimming还是scanning，都有可能牵涉到一个结合题干事先判断有效句的问题。而且一旦题目深入到这个层次也就无一例外的成为了该年度考试中的难题。不过这种判断过程实际也是有规律可循的重点考察句子的前半部分，特别是状语部分。下面以2010年6月份第5题为例加以说明。
5. According to Orzack, people who struggle with heavy reliance on the Internet may feel __________.
A) discouraged
B) pressured
C) depressed
D) puzzled
这道题目的关键词是人名Orzack，对应的段落比较多
Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but in terms of losses, said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. If its a loss [where] youre not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then its too much.
Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.
The website for Orzacks center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:
Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene and sleep disturbances.
People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun, she said. Some people say reliefbecause they find themselves so relaxed.
不少考生看到这儿就觉得无所适从，不知从何读起，更不知道从何处寻觅答案。首先要记住题目要求与网络依赖想抗争的人会有什么心理反应。循着这个线索逐一比较这几个段落。首先排除第一段，因为它的开始部分讲的是过度沉迷互联网excessive Internet use;第二段起始部分是时间状语since the early 1990s，这个也不是题目所涉及的内容/同理排除第三段和第四段。一直到第四段第一句终于出现了与题干几乎完全重合的部分，由此判断答案必然在该句出现。果不其然，答案就是People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed与网络沉迷抗争的人可能会感觉情绪低落，所以该题答案选择C。
综上所述，考生们只要牢牢掌握好跳读与略低两个基本方法，再勤加训练就一定能在快速阅读部分拿到理想的分数。
