TEM4与阅读教学相关策略探析
TEM4与阅读教学相关策略探析阅读是学生需要掌握的最重要的技能，一直以来都是各类英语测试中必不可少的组成部分。
TEM4因其广泛的社会影响一直备受研究者的关注。
以专业四级考试中的阅读部分作为切入点，探讨该部分的考试相关情况，以及相应的民办高校的阅读教学现状，并结合实际情况对阅读教学提出有益的建议。
标签：阅读教学；专业四级考试；策略1专业四级考试阅读题型英语专业四级考试是衡量英语专业基础阶段学生英语水平的重要标准。
而其中，阅读占了相当大的比重。
阅读是学生需要掌握的最重要的技能，在一定程度上能反映学生的语言综合应用能力。
随着社会的不断发展，专业英语四级考试也在不断地进行调整。
新版专业四级考试大纲在阅读理解这个部分上做了一定的调整和改动，快速阅读题型被取消，阅读理解不再分常速阅读和快速阅读。
并且对答题要求和计分标准也作了相应调整，阅读时间从25分钟减至20分钟。
阅读总词数由2400（1500+900）词减至1800词。
阅读总题量由97版的25（15+10）变为20，阅读所占的分值由25分减至20分。
专四阅读涉及到的文体多种多样，有说明文、议论文、描写文、图表等等，但是以叙议结合的为主。
有研究者利用模因理论对2007—2011年TEM4阅读理解的测试进行了相关研究，分析了阅读材料的题材和体裁。
近几年的阅读理解文章体裁记叙文所占的比重稍微大一点点，其次便是说明文和议论文，对于描写文的涉及要少得多。
而从题材来看，对社会问题的关注则明显高于其它的话题。
选文题材体裁的这种变化要求考生对文体有更敏锐的识别能力。
专四题型设置上有几种常见阅读题型：一是细节题；题型二为主旨题；题型三为释义题；题型四即指代题；题型五即句子理解题，在题干中明确指出原文中的某句话，要求理解其意思；题型六为态度题；题型七判断正误。
2专四阅读考试部分失分现象及教学现状从专四考试结果的分析来看，阅读题的失分现象严重。
同时，经过笔者对学生的访谈了解到考生在专四考试阅读部分主要有以下几方面的问题存在：（1）认识偏差，不能正确理解文章大意。

These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet — meaning from an aircraft.Q: According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found ______.A. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.2010 Text BD2011 Text BBiologists offer a theory about this primal impulse to clean out every drawer and closet in the house at spring's first light, which has to do with melatonin, the sleepy timehormone(激素）our bodies produce when it's dark.

The production of melatonin in our bodies varies at different timesB. Melatonin is more likely to cause sleepiness in our bodiesC. The reduction of melatonin will cause wakefulness in our bodiesD. The amount of melatonin remains constant in our bodiesD2007 Text AIf you like the idea of staying with a family, living in a house might be the answer. Good landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit, and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guests are living under the same roof.The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone, while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; howdo you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are student and want to study?Conversely, flat sharing can be very cheap, there will always be someone to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory, can be shared.A Q: What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing?A. There is peace and quiet.B. There is companionship.C. Housework.D. Rent is affordable2005 Text DWhat should you do to relieve rage？One myth is that ventilating willmake you feel better. In fact，researchers have found that's one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is “reframingreframing””,which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light.In the case of the driver who cuts you off，you might tell yourself：Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent waysTice found, to put anger to rest.BQ: The essence ofQ: The essence of ““reframingreframing”” isA. to forget the unpleasant situation.B. to adopt a positive attitude.C. to protect oneself properly.D. to avoid road accidents.2008 Text C"What can I do to keep it from happening again?"He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing."After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto" –– a separate, secondary shelf in thecalled "the ethnic ghetto"bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity-just like the town you're born in and the place where you're raised.Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.Q1. We learn from the passage that the author would ____ toprevent similar experience from happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothingQ2. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ____ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityQ3.

He was ––and still isperhaps nearer the truth. He wasview. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.AQ: The writer seems to suggest that the description of ____ is closer to truth?A. middleA. middle ––class ways of spending moneyB. working-class ways of spending the weekendC. working-class drinking habitsD. middle-class attitudes2008 Text BIn an article some Chinese scholars are described as being "tantalized by the mysterious dragon bone hieroglyphics." Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). ...Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology....It seems that myths and legends live on in the English Language.BQ: The example of tantalize is to show ____.A. how Tantalus was punished in the lower worldB. how the word came into existenceC. how all English dictionaries show word originsD. how the meaning of the word changed over the years2011 Text CThese days, doing omiai often means going to a computer matching service rather than to a nakodo. The nakodo of tradition was an old woman who knew all the kids in the neighbourhood and went around trying to pair them off by speaking to their parents; a successful match would bring her a wedding invitation and a gift of money. But Japanese today find it's less awkward to reject a proposed if the nakodo is a computer.Japan has about five hundred computer matching services. Some big companies, including Mitsubishi, run one for their employees. At a typical commercial service, an applicant pays $80 to $125 to have his or her personal data stored in the computer for two years and $200 or so more if a marriage results. The stored information includes some obvious items, like education and hobbies, and some not-so-obvious ones, like whether a person is the oldest child. (First sons, and to some extent first daughters, face an obligation of caring for elderly parents.)CQ: What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To tell the differences between an old and modern nakodoB. To provide some examples for the traditional nakodoC. To offer more details of the computerized nakodoD. To sum up the main ideas and provide a conclusion2008 Text DIn fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.DWhat is the author's view on personality?A. Personality is the key to success in public speaking.B. Extroverts are better public speakers.C. Introverts have to learn harder to be good speakers.D. Factors other than personality ensure better performance.2011 Text BBiologists offer a theory about this primal impulse to clean out every drawer and closet in the house at spring's first light, which has to do with melatonin, the sleepy time hormone(激素）our bodies produce when it's dark. When spring's light comes, the melatonin diminishes, and suddenly we are awakened to the dusty, virus-filled house we've been hibernating in for four months.Q: Which of the following interpretations of the biologists' theory about melatonin is INCORRECT?

He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?"The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: 'No, sir.""Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude." "Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that,""No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good points.Why did Mr. Rochester say "... and the you stab me in the back!" in the last para.?A. because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB. because Jane had intended to be more critical.C. because Jane had regretted having talked to himD. because Jane had said something else to correct herself.B2008 Text CMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I'm an American born and raised, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren't quite ready to let me in yet."Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber," the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent "in back" once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to have to check you out with Washington." "How long will it take?""Hard to say... a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for you."After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything about me. "Isn't this computerized?"I asked at the counter. "Can't you just look me up?"Just a few more minutes, they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said. "For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information."Q: The author was held at the airport because _____.A. she and her husband returned from Jamaica.B. her name was similar to a terrorist's.C. she had been held in Montreal.D. she had spoken at a book event.BAround 7 pm on the evening of December 19th, 1827, keeper John Whalton was tending to his lightship, a sort of mobile lighthouse. He was anchored a few miles off Key Largo when, he said later, " I saw the flash and heard the report of seven or eight guns.Whalton was about to witness the tragic ending of a desperate chase in the waters offwhat was then the US Territory of Florida. The Guerrero, with hundreds of Africans enchained in its hold and crewed by 90 spaniards who were little more than pirates, was fleeing the Nimble, a British warship that was enforcing the international ban on slave trade.Q: What is true about John Whalton?A. He was serving the army at the time when the tragedy happenedB. Hardly had he seen the flash when he was notified of the conditionC. Both the Guerrero and the Nimbel were in the view of JohnD. The lightship where he was on duty anchored just a few miles from the Guerrero 仿真题C2007 Text DThe kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, in my way to work these mornings. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers andprincipals, they now appear to be principals, they now appear to be ““self care self care””.Q: Which of the following is an opinion of the author Q: Which of the following is an opinion of the author’’s? A. A. ““The kids are hanging out.The kids are hanging out.”” B. B. ““They are school children without school.They are school children without school.”” C. C. ““These kids are not old enough for jobs.These kids are not old enough for jobs.”” D. D. ““The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.””A2009 Text ADo you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.Q: Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) ____ Problem.A. mechanicalB. medicalC. healthD. agricultural A2008 Text AWhen the sun is up in Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlandssits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi.But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke.81. At the beginning of the passage, the author indicates that ________.A. Amsterdam is generally known as a quiet cityB. parties go on all day long in AmsterdamC. Amsterdam presents two different picturesD. Amsterdam attracts many daytime visitors C2006 Text DThe ideal companion machine-the computer-would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attchment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continuefrom previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earliercontact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive,and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such asthese, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.Q: Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A. ArtiA. Artificial relationships.ficial relationships.B. How to form intimate relationshipsC. The affectionate machineD. Humans and computers C2007 Text BA few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper. Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking .Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada-Quebec, Canada-““if you don if you don’’t mind being criticized for not speaking French t mind being criticized for not speaking French””. But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.Q: What is the current situation of hitchhiking?A. It is popular in some parts of the world.B. It is popular throughout the west.C. It is popular C. It is popular only only only in in in Ire Ire Ireland.land. D. It is still popular in Poland. A2011 Text CThese days lots of young Japanese do omiai, literally, "meet and look." Many of them do so willingly. In today's prosperous and increasingly conservative Japan, the traditional omiai kekkon, or arranged marriage,is thriving.But there is a difference. In the original omiai, the young Japanese couldn't reject the partner chosen by his parents and their middleman. After WW Ⅱ, many Japanese abandoned the arranged marriage as part of their rush to adopt the more democratic ways of their American conquerors. The Western ren'ai kekkon, or love marriage, became popular; Japanese began picking their own mates by dating and falling in love.But the western way was often found wanting in an important aspect: it didn't necessarily produce a partner of the right economic, social and educational qualifications. "Today's young people are quite calculating," says Chieko Akiyama, a social commentator.AQ: Which of the following statements is CORRECT?A. A Western love marriage tends to miss some Japanese valuesB. Less attention is paid to the partner's qualifications in arranged marriageC. Young Japanese would often calculate their partner's wealthD. A new arranged marriage is a repetition of the older type.Tips一、克服不良阅读习惯：1. “指读”。

力，尤其是通过上下文理解词汇的能力； 二要学会分析理解长难句； 三要了解和掌握一些英语国家和世界其他国家的政治、 经济、文化、历史和社会等背景及科技发展动态、热 门话题乃至西方人思维、交流方式等非语言性知识。 建议大家多浏览《读者文摘》、《新闻周刊》等刊物 的英文网站。因为从这些刊物中选取的文章在专业四 级阅读中所占比重较大，考生可以广泛阅读，从而培 养语感。
历年专业四级英语阅读题的题型可以概括为 5种： 事实细节题 推理判断题 主旨大意题 语义理解题 观点态度题
(一)事实细节题 该题型主要考查学生对阅读材料中的某一特定细节或文章的 主要事实的理解能力， 问题主要包括询问人(who)、物(what)、时间(when)、地点 (where)、原因(cause)、结果(effect)以及文中数据(data)等。 此类题更多地倾向于将题目中的信息与原文有关细节信息进 行语义上的转换，在转换过程中，做题时易犯的错误是未注 意到转换的准确性，常常将细节信息中的范围、程度、语义 色彩等改变，从而导致错误。 有时命题人会故意利用一些貌合神离的手段，比如给出与原 文中一模一样的字眼来迷惑考生，让考生不假思索地选定答 案，而实际上选项中的字眼与文中的相同字眼却不是对应同 一事情。这就要求正确答案应与文中的细节相对应。
细节题

In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neihborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During this time, all my knowlege of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

TEM4改革后的阅读理解对英语专业阅读教学的启示
ENGLISH ON CAMPUS2023年35期总第683期TEM4改革后的阅读理解对英语专业阅读教学的启示摘 要：根据高校外语专业教学测试办公室于2015年8月发布的《关于英语专业四级考试（TEM4）题型调整的说明》，从2016年起对TEM4考试的试卷结构和测试题型作局部调整，其中涉及对第五部分阅读理解的调整。
英语专业阅读课作为英语专业技能课程之一，与TEM4阅读理解有着密切的联系，二者相互影响。
本文通过分析改革后的TEM4阅读理解语篇特点，探讨其对英语专业阅读教学的启示，并提出相应的教学举措。
关键词：TEM4；阅读理解；阅读教学作者简介：王禹莹，南京医科大学康达学院。
一、引言高校英语专业四级考试（Test for English Majors-4, 或简称TEM4）每年在英语专业本科第四学期举行，考试对象为英语专业二年级学生，是检测基础阶段英语专业学生英语语言综合运用能力的重要手段。
大部分高校将TEM4证书的获取与学生取得学位证书相关联，故该测试对于英语专业学生的重要性可见一斑。
根据高校外语专业教学测试办公室于2015年8月发布的《关于英语专业四级考试（TEM4）题型调整的说明》（以下简称《说明》）指出，从2016年起对TEM4考试的试卷结构和测试题型作局部调整。
其中，针对第五部分阅读理解的调整为：将原测试要求中f项“考试时间25分钟”调整为“考试时间35分钟”；测试形式中的“采用多项选择题，共20题”调整为“采用多项选择题和简答题形式，共15题，其中10道多项选择题，5道简答题”；选材原则中a项“包括社会、科技、文化、经济、日常知识、人物传记等”调整为“包括社会、科技、文化、学习、常识、人物传记等”。
调整后的TEM4阅读理解考试时间增加了10分钟；试题形式更加多样化，题型难度增加；选材侧重点也发生了轻微改变，弱化了经济类文章，同时增加了“学习”题材类别。
根据《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》（以下简称《大纲》），英语专业阅读课作为英语专业技能课程之一，设置于一、二年级，目的在于培养学生的英语阅读理解能力和提高学生的阅读速度、阅读技能。

Remember the drinking fountain, that once ubiquitous (到处存在的), and free, source of H2O? It seems quaint now. Instead, bottled water is everywhere, in offices, airplanes, stores, homes and restaurants across the country. We consumed over eight billion gallons of the stuff in 2006, a 10% increase from 2005. It’s refreshing, calorie-free, convenient to carry around, tastier than some tap water and a heck of a lot healthier than sugary sodas. But more and more, people are questioning whether the water, and the package it comes in, is safe, or at least safer than tap water — and if the convenience is worth the environmental impact.Evocative names and labels depicting pastoral scenes have convinced us that the liquid is the purest drink around. “But no o ne should think that bottled water is better regulated, better protected or safer than tap,” says Eric Goldstein, co-director of the urban program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit organization devoted to protecting health and the environment.Yes, some bottled water comes from sparkling springs and other pristine (纯净的) sources. But more than 25% of it comes from a municipal supply. The water is treated, purified and sold to us, often at a thousandfold increase in price. Most people are surprise d to learn that they’re drinking glorified tap water, but bottlers aren’t required to list the source on the label. This year Aquafina will begin stating on labels that its H20 comes from public water sources. And Nestle Pure Life bottles will indicate whether the water comes from public, private or deep well sources. Dasani acknowledges on its website, but not on the label itself, that it draws from local water.Labels can be misleading at best, deceptive at worst. In one notorious case, water coming from a well located near a hazardous waste site was sold to many bottlers. At least one of these companies labeled its product “spring water”. In another case, H2O sold as “pure glacier water” came from a public water system in Alaska.Lisa Ledwidge, 38, of Minneapolis, stopped drinking bottled water a couple of years ago, partly because she found out that many brands come from a municipal supply. “You’re spending more per gallon than you would on gasoline for this thing that you can get out of the tap virtually for free,” she says. “I wondered, why am I spending this money while complaining about how much gas costs? But you don’t ever hear anyone complain about the price of bottled water.” Ledwidge says she now drinks only filtered tap water.(Reader’s Digest 2008)1.Which of the following is CORRECT as to bottled water?A.It’s tastier than sugary sodas.B.It’s healthier than tap water.C.It’s easier to access and take.D.It’s more expensive for its package.2.How does Eric Goldstein think about bottled water?A.It’s the pu rest drink around us.B.Its names and labels are out of date.C.It’s better protected and safer than tap water.D.Its quality may not fit to its advertisement.3.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.A.municipal supply is the main source of bottled waterB.whether to lable the source depend on the bottlersC.bottlers must lable their bottled water supply sourceD.bottled water from Aquafina is safer than Dasani’s4.The two cases were mentioned by the author to ________.A.reveal the source of spring waterB.show the danger of waste sitesC.unveil the deception of labelsD.introduce the pure glacier water5.According to Lisa Ledwidge, ________.A.gas costs are higher than bottled water costsB.tap water is more economical than bottled waterC.bottled water has a price advantage over tap waterD.she prefers bottled water to the municipal supplyResearchers are trying to tell parents something about what kinds of video games children should be playing and how much time they should spend doing it. A new study concludes what you’ve already suspected: Young boys who play video games do worse on tests than children who don’t. Researchers who followed 64 boys from the ages of 6 to 9 for four months discovered that those who received a new PlayStation II gaming system earned lower reading and writing test scores than children who did not get the video game player. This comes on the heels of another recently reported study about video games, which concluded that kids who play violent video game become more aggressive and less caring — regardless of age, sex or culture — than young people who don’t play these games.The study on the effects of video games on schoolwork was conducted by Denison University Associate Professor Robert Weis and Brittany Cerankosky, who graduated from Denison in 2008. It is called “Effects of Video-Game Ownership on Young Boys’ Academic and Behavioral Functioning”, and will be published in Psychological Science.Boys who received the system also showed greater teacher-reported academic problems at follow-up than children in the comparison group. The researchers followed 64 young boys over four months. Parents of the 64 were promised a PlayStation II gaming system in exchange for their participation, plus three E rated games. But half the families were given the video gaming system immediately and half were promised if after four months. The children underwent a battery of tests before and after the four months and parents and teachers answered questions about how the boys behaved in school and at home.The conclusion show that, boys who were he first to get the PlayStations spent more time playing video games than the boys who didn’t get it immediately —39.3 minutes versus 9.3minutes. (The boys who didn’t get the gaming system right away played at a friend’s house). Boys who were given the PlayStation right away spent 18.2 minutes a day in after-school academic activities versus 31.6 minutes for the kids who weren’t. The boys who had the video games immediately achieved lower reading and writing tes t scores than those who didn’t. But the PlayStations seemed to have no effect on the boys’ math and problem solving skills.Cerankosky said in a statement on the Denison University Web site that there isn’t necessarily something inherent in video games tha t negatively affects kids. “It’s an activity that detracts from time that could be spent on schoolwork,” she said. If you are wondering why we needed a study to tell us that, the researchers say that conventional wisdom is not always accurate, and it is important to prove such beliefs through experimentation.(Washington Post 2010)6.Which of the following is CORRECT according to the first paragraph?A.The researchers call for a ban on children video games.B.Video games have less influence on girl’s performance.C.Evaluation is needed before buying children video games.D.The new PlayStation II gaming system is too violent to children.7.What can we learn from the follow-up study?A.All the 64 boys got a PlayStation II gaming system at start.B.Parents and teachers’ partic ipation contributed to the result.C.Children in the study were allowed to play games at class.D.Parents of the 64 boys were asked to buy their children video games.8.The study’s conclusions show that the PlayStations ________.A.are helpful in after-school academic activitiesB.have no direct influence on the boys’ math skillsC.can decrease the participants’ problem-solving skillsD.have no effect on the boys who didn’t get them firstly9.How does Cerankosky think about the video games?A.They negatively affect the child ren’s nature.B.They have no inherent influence on schoolwork.C.They can cause inaccurate conventional wisdom.D.They disorder the children’s time arrangement.10.What does this passage mainly talk about?A.The new PlayStation II gaming system.B.The academic performance of young boys.C.The study on video games and schoolwork.D.The negative effect of violent video games.Forget Black Friday. The real bargains this year are showing up on Cyber Monday, the first work day following Thanksgiving when people return to their offices, ignore the tasks at hand, and begin to surf the Internet in earnest for this year’s holiday gifts. Roughly 45% of online retailers expect their holiday sales to increase this year by at least 15% compared with 2008, according to the ind ustry group Shop. org. “People view the Internet as the place to save money and find the best prices through comparison shopping,” says Scott Silverman, Shop. org’s executive director.Online sales may be the lone sweet spot for retailers in this otherwise dismal economy. With double-digit unemployment and a foreclosure crisis that just won’t quit, consumers are expected to spend even less this season. Overall, the National Retail Federation expects consumers to spend an average of $682.74 on holiday-related gear, food, and gifts, compared with an average of $705.01 in 2008.While traditional retailers have had their ups and downs over the last decade, online sales have risen steadily since 1999. That’s when companies such as , Priceline, and eBay first rose to prominence, prompting Newsweek to proclaim that these three businesses had set out to “change the way you shop”. Since then, the sector has grown from a $4.6 billion industry to a $31.5 billion industry. “The story of the last decade is that there has been consistent 20% growth,”says Ken Casear, vice president of industry insights for the Nielsen Co., about online shopping.That growth may have something to do with online retailers’ willingness and ability to pass on their reduced overhead costs in the form of discounts to consumers. Roughly nine out of 10 online businesses recently surveyed by Shop. org planned to offer some type of promotion for Cyber Monday in the form of one-day sales, free shipping, and “deal of the hour” sales. Roughly 57% plan to offer free shipping this year; Target started waiving (推迟) shipping and handling fees on Nov. 1, a full two weeks before the promotion normally starts. This year, about 15% of all retailers will no longer require consumers to spend a certain amount of money to qualify for free shipping.F orm the retailers’ perspective, the best part about online holiday shopping is that its success is not measured on a single day. The results from Black Friday are often used to forecast consumers’ moods about the entire holiday season or, worse, the first quarter of the following year. By comparison, online holiday shopping remains steady throughout the month of December, says Andrew Lipsman, director of industry analysis for ComScore, a research firm. If there is a peak with holiday online sales, it happens over an entire workweek, usually between Dec. 10 and 15, he says.Even with this cheerleading over online sales, retail researchers acknowledge that e-commerce will never really usurp (取代) Black Friday. Online retail spending year-round —including spending on food, cars, and gas — still accounts for just 8% of retail sales overall, says Lipsman. “People like to get out into a store,” he says. “Black Friday is still a cultural phenomenon.”(Newsweek 2009)11.It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ________.A.Black Friday has lost its traditional meaningB.Cyber Monday means Thanksgiving dayC.online retailers may offer good bargainsD.Internet goes against firm’s routine tasks12.One cause for the National R etail Federation’s expectation of a consumer expenditure declineis ________.A.the online salesB.the quit of retailersC.the prosperous economyD.the high unemploymentpanies like Amazon. Com and eBay were mentioned to indicate ________.A.the ups and downs of traditional retailersB.the consistent rise of online shoppingC.the steadily growth of traditional retailersD.the retailers’ ad promotion on Newsweek14.For this year’s Cyber Monday, most online retailers will of fer the following EXCEPT ______.A.consumer discountsB.free shoppingC.one-day salesD.goods promotion15.We can infer from the retail researchers that ________.A.online sales will lead the retail marketB.online retail had no cultural meaningC.e-commerce is identical with Black FridayD.traditional shopping still holds the marketConsumers around the world want governments to stop haggling (争辩) and start acting on climate change, according to a survey carried out in 12 countries by a coalition of climate groups.Despite the looming prospect of a deep global recession, 43% of the 12,000 respondents of the survey chose climate change ahead of the global economy when asked about their current concerns. Worldwide, 77% of respondents wanted to see their governments cutting carbon by their fair share or more, in order to allow developing countries to grow their economies.The survey was carried out for the HSBC Climate Partnership, a collaboration between the international bank and climate NGOs including WWF, the Climate Group, Earthwatch Institute and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.Lord Stern, and adviser to HSBC on economic development and climate change and former adviser to the UK government, said: “This research demonstrates the need for decisive action on climate change. The urgent challenge is to build a framework for a global deal so that consensus can be reached in Copenhagen and the discussions in Poznan are a critical stepping stone to achieving this. Now is the time to lay the foundations of a new form of growth that can transform our economies and societies.”The r esults of the group’s climate confidence monitor are based on an internet questionnaire presented to 1,000 people each in 12 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Mexico, UK and the US. The survey was conducted between mid-September and early October.Even in many emerging countries, people said their governments must reduce greenhouse gases — 62% of respondents in China said they should reduce emissions and only 4% said the country’s emissions should be a llowed to increase. In Mexico and Brazil, more than 80% wanted emissions cuts that tallied with (符合，吻合) their fair share of global targets — as high a level as in developed countries.

TEM4阅读理解应试技巧
先看题目，还是先看文章？ 有的考生在做阅读理解题的时候，喜欢先看题目
后读文章。他们认为这样会节省时间。
实际上： • 浪费时间。 • 不能集中注意力。 • 影响对文章整体的理解。
1．阅读文章开头几句时，要联想一下文章的大意： 文章是关于什么内容、写的谁、谈论什么事物等。
2．继续阅读文章时，要识别出文章的文体，即是科 普文章、文学作品，还是新闻报道或是别的；同时要 识别出作者的写作手法，文章是写给谁看的，作者是 带着一种什么样的感情写这篇文章的。
三、阅读理解题型、题材和语篇体裁分析 所选阅读材料的题材广泛，主要包括：社会生活、
科技、地理与历史、政治与经济、环境保护、教育与 文化、自然现象、健康与医疗、日常生活知识、人物 描写等。
体裁以议论文和说明文为主，兼有部分记叙文和 描写。阅读理解除了对学生语言能力有较高的要求外， 对文化背景等知识层面的要求也很高。
时间进行略读，其目的一是：以尽可能快的速度获取 文章主旨大意或中心思想；二是辨识文章体裁，掌握 结构（如果是记叙文，就需要了解故事发生的时间、 地点、背景和人物活动等主要线索；如果是议论文， 就要弄清文章的中心论点以及论述内容）。
略读完成后就去看题干，这时有关文章主旨大意 题已经有了答案，而对细节题要根据题目的具体要求 回到文章中再进行快速扫读以找到相应的信息。
【真题示例】（2009） Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere.
Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I’m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.

英语专业四级考试（TEM4）阅读理解（ReadingComprehension）答题方法_英语专业四级考试(TEM4)阅读理解(Reading Comprehension)答题方法_.txt两人之间的感情就像织毛衣，建立的时候一针一线，小心而漫长，拆除的时候只要轻轻一拉。
这一部分包括普通阅读和快速阅读两部分。
普通阅读有数篇短文，共1500词左右，要求读懂英美国家出版的中等难度的文章，掌握主旨大意及细节，并能够进行推论，理解上下文的逻辑关系。
快速阅读要求在5分钟内速读900词左右的中等难度的文章，掌握大意及细节。
专业英语阅读考试特别强调考生的阅读速度，要提高阅读速度，正确的阅读方法是问题的关键。
下面我们介绍一下正确的阅读方法和技巧。
(1.) 略读略读(skimming)是常用的阅读方法之一，其主要特征是选择性地阅读。
通常的阅读要求看到每一个词，每次注目看１－２个词。
略读不需要看清每一个词，对眼睛跳动的频率和幅度的要求都较高，有时甚至从上一行跳到下一行。
略读不可能使你对所读内容全部了解，但是你能大大地提高阅读速度，也能获得大量的信息。
略读的主要作用是了解文章的大意。
经过略读之后，你对所读内容已经有了大致的了解，再仔细阅读，这时你的印象会更深刻，理解更透彻。
大部分读者不需要正规的训练和指导就可以进行略读。
但是有意识地训练会大大地提高你的略读速度和效率。
进行略读训练的最简单的方法是强迫自己在规定的时间内读完某一篇，开始训练时，可以把略读速度定为平常阅读的5/4倍，以后逐步提高。
略读的关键是增加眼跳的幅度，高度集中注意力，努力捕捉那些能引起注意或者你认为重要的内容。
(2.)扫读扫读（scanning）是以最快的速度扫视所读材料，在找到所需信息时才仔细阅读该项内容。
如查找某个人名、地名、时间、地点等，也即在寻找特定信息、寻找具体事实、寻找答题所需内容时都用得着这种方法。
(3.) 研读研读（study reading）就是仔细阅读，对文章有透彻深刻理解。

应先用
30秒左右的时间进行略读，其目的一是：以尽可能快的速度获
取文章主旨大意或中心思想；二是辨识文章体裁，掌握结构（如果是记 叙文，就需要了解故事发生的时间、地点、背景和人物活动等主要线索； 如果是议论文，就要弄清文章的中心论点以及论述内容）。略读完成后 就去看题干，这时有关文章主旨大意题已经有了答案，而对细节题要根 据题目的具体要求回到文章中再进行快速扫读以找到相应的信息。
1.浏览试题， 1.浏览试题，明确目标 浏览试题 在进行阅读之前，首先浏览短文后面的题目。看完试题题干和四个 选项后，分析掌握每道试题考查的内容和题型（如是主旨大意题、细节 理解题，还是推理分析题等），以便带着问题有目标地阅读短文，按照 相应的解题技巧寻找正确答案。
2.略读全文， 2.略读全文，掌握大意 略读全文 有效的阅读是先掌握全局，再寻求细节。略读（skimming）又称跳 读（reading and skipping）或浏览(glancing)，是一种专门而实用的快速 阅读方法，主要特点是从文章的体裁入 文章的体裁入手，一般说来，说明 文中，作者的态度是客观的（objective）或中立的(neutral)；而在议论文 中，作者的观点会表现出不同的倾向，如positive(肯定的)，negative （否定的），optimistic（乐观的），pessimistic（悲观的），critical（批 评的），favourable（赞成的），unfavorable（不赞成的），indifferent （漠不关心的），ironical/sarcastic（讽刺的）等等。
5. 词汇语义题 词汇语义题主要考查学生对个别单词、短语和句子的理解，有 一定难度，通常要求考生通读上下文，综合各方面的知识后做出判断。 猜测词义的技巧不外乎两种：上下文语境法和利用词根词缀的构词法。 两者或单个使用，或结合起来使用。 上下文语境法： (1) 上下文语境法：利用文中所给的定义、同义词、相关信息、例证、 比较等。如： The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state and behaviour of the atmosphere. 通过定义可知，meteorology是一门研究 大气结构、状态和属性的科学，即气象学。
