说明文阅读提高方法

(单词翻译:单击)

 说明文的一般结构模式和叙述文的结构模式有相通之处即:提出问题(或以一个事例引出问题)---- (专家)发现直接原因----- 分析深层原因-----得出结论或找到出路。

  2000年12月四级考试阅读理解第三篇就是这样的一篇文章。
  1) Priscilla Ouchuida's "energy-efficient" house turned out to be a horrible dream. …… a strange illness. (事例)
  2) Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.(直接原因)
  3) The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution,….(深层原因)
  4) The problem appears it be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. (得出结论)
  知道了类似的文章结构特点,就可以据此来进行考题预测。比如,我们看出了该篇文章属于这种结构类型,就能判断出几个问题中肯定有一个要问原因,还有可能要出现推断题。
