會計碩士(MPACC)英語閲讀理解輔導

　　一、正話反説。英語閲讀題中很多出題思路是“在是當中説非，在非當中説是”。

The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S. economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the ________.

ing of the business cycle

ructuring of industry

oved business management

ess in education

根據原文：Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of business cycle. 可以看出，美國人並不認為devalued dollar or the turning of business cycle是導致美國經濟復甦的主要原因，很多同學就首先排除了選項A，但是，A恰恰是本題的正確答案，作者的觀點恰恰有別於一般美國人，在是當中説非，在非當中説是。

　　二、“正確≠答案”——大多數考生的誤區

The author begins his article with Edmund Burk’s words to __________.

on scientists to take some actions

icize the misguide cause of animal rights

of the doom of biomedical research

the triumph of the animal rights movement

從文章來看，四個選項似乎都有道理，可以説前三個選項都是對的。但是正確絕不是最優，而面對這種局面大多數考生往往不知所措，難以從中選出正確的選項。上述的例子還只是比較簡單的，偏重於對文章主旨的考查，而現在考研的難度日益加大，這種出題思路會越來越多，分辨將會越來越難，所以在看懂全文的基礎上時不時還是要在心裏提個醒，別一不小心掉進了陷阱。

　　三、首段大意≠全文主旨。很多同學做全文主旨題往往以首段的段落大意作為根據，其實這是個陷阱。

What is this passage mainly about?

oaches to the commercial use of computers.

eniences brought about by computers in business.

ificance of automation in commercial enterprise.

ntages of credit cards in business.

這道題可以説是經典的主旨陷阱題了。如果僅從全文第一段來看，D選項是絕對正確的。但是文章從第二段進行擴展，由信用卡擴展到了計算機在商業社會中的應用，故此，B才是最佳答案。我們提醒各位考生，主旨題需要通過首段和各段首句共同判斷，千萬不能以偏概全。

　　四、千萬注意“似是而非、局部正確”的選項

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Environmentalists were blamed for antiscience in an essay.

B. Politicians are not subject to the labeling of antiscience.

C. The “more enlightened” tend to tag others as antiscience.

D. Tagging environmentalists as “antiscience” is justifiable.

這是一道設計非常巧妙的'考題，據説當年答對本題的考生不到5% .這道題考查了全文一半多文章的閲讀量，而且涉及很多的細節，每一個選項都有似曾相識的感覺，而選項本身就暗藏着陷阱。本題的直接依據是文中的這樣一句話：But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are antiscience， as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest. 但是簡單根據這句話又會造成歧義，還必須依據“根據下文説上文的原則”，通過下文來判斷邏輯：The environmentalists， inevitably， respond to such critics. The true enemies of sciences are those who question the evidence supporting global warming， the depletion of the ozone layer and other consequences of industrial growth. 這裏提醒所有考生注意一點：當你感覺到每一個選項似乎都對、都不對的時候，千萬不要盲目憑藉印象和感覺，要學會到原文中尋求每一個選項的證據，只有確鑿的證據才是判斷正誤的法寶。
