作為大學英語四級考試題型之一的長篇閱讀占分比例為10%,考查形式為段落匹配。了解和掌握一定的解題策略將有助于此部分的作答,在此以新視野大學英語第三版第三冊的某長篇閱讀為例進行分析。
1.同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換法。題中的表達方式為:At Apple, your precious time will be concentrated on how to make forward progress instead of trying to figure out what others are really saying.原文中的表達方式為:100 percent of your group’s time will be focused on forward progress-no need to decode what people are really saying. Concentrate 和focus為同義詞。
2.詞性轉(zhuǎn)換法。題中的表達方式為:People need to practice the idea of simplicity when the groups in some companies are likely to expand unnecessarily.原文中的表達方式為:You need to be the enforcer and be prepared to hit the process with the Simple Stick when the group is threatened with unnecessary expansion. Expand unnecessarily為動詞+副詞,unnecessary expansion為形容詞+名詞。
3.釋義法。釋義法也稱為改述法,是用另外一種表述方式表達同一意思。題中的表達方式為:The meetings of a small group may not distract attention, waste time, or weaken great ideas.原文中的表達方式為:Most people know from experience that the fastest way to lose focus, waste valuable time, and water down great ideas is to entrust them to a large group.
4.借代法。借代指用一事物的名稱代替與之相關(guān)的另一事物,如好萊塢指代美國電影界,華爾街指代美國金融界。題中的表達方式為:The employees at Apple are supposed to be equipped with intelligence, common sense……原文中的表達方式為:The assumption is that you are well equipped with brains and common sense……Brains指代intelligence.
5.舉例法。題中的表達方式為:……so there are no signs telling you how to do things.原文中的表達方式為:……there will be no signs telling you how to tie your shoes or fill a glass of water.
希望以上列舉的解題策略能使同學們在此部分的作答中思路更加清晰,提高正確率。 |
