　　下面，我們從閱讀的角度，來感受一下這些基礎知識對于解題的重要性，也檢測前期的復習情況。以閱讀中技巧性相對較強的主旨大意題為例：

 

　　It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts(白內障)removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.(2012年)

 

　　60. The text intends to express the idea that ________.

 

　　[A] medicine will further prolong people’s lives

 

　　[B] life beyond a certain limit is not worth living

 

　　[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life

 

　　[D] excessive demands increase the cost of health care

 

　　從題干識別上，同學們應該不難發現這是一道典型的提問文章主旨大意的題目。而在主旨大意解題的過程中，我們尤其需要關注首段中出現轉折的句子，以12年的這道真題為例，此處首段末句的處理尤其關鍵。不難發現，這個句子又是典型的長難句。But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.破折號后面的that reality可以用來指代前面的not even a great health-care system can cure death“再杰出的醫護體系也無法治愈死亡”這個事實，長難句中指代的處理技巧體現無疑。而此時根據原文間接給出的已知信息，去找能夠匹配的選項時，我們會發現選項當中存在大量的考研高頻詞匯，比如prolong, limit, excessive，如果前期沒有扎實的詞匯積累，這時候也會出現解題無能的可能性。此處，命題人主要是從英語閱讀中的“同義替換”的角度出發，命制了干擾選項，而C選項的death should be accepted as a fact of life“死亡應該作為普遍存在的事實被接受”，與原文的表達異曲同工。

 

　　另外，有時候閱讀對詞匯的要求可能還會增加，以2004年的這道題目為例：

 

　　Consumers say they’re not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “there’s a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses,” says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three,” says john Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job.(2004年text3)

 

　　53. When mentioning “the $4 million to $10 million range”(Lines 3-4, Paragraph 3) the author is talking about ________.

 

　　[A] gold market [B] real estate

 

　　[C] stock exchange [D] venture investment

 

　　在這道題目中，我們會發現四個選項都是和經濟相關的表達，如果前期缺乏詞匯的積累，那后期做題即使憑借技巧，正確率還是無法保障。
