對于考研英語而言，我們還是要學習考研英語的做題方法，在考研英語中，分值占比最高的一個題型是閱讀題，占試卷總分的40%，所以“得閱讀者得天下”，意思是想考高分閱讀理解必須做好。在大家的認知中，考研英語閱讀只是20個小題，但是我們把這20個小題給大家做了一個歸類，即可以分為6個題型，分別是主旨大意題、例證題、詞義句意題、情感態度題、細節題和段落推斷題。

在這里先給大家舉個例子，讓大家感受一下解題技巧的便捷性和準確性，即使大家不認識單詞，有些情況下也是可以幫助我們解題的。例如：

(2009年試題)We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.

39. The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often

[A] influenced by superstitions. [B] troubled with religious beliefs.

[C] puzzled by church sermons. [D] frustrated with family earnings.

對于閱讀題而言，我們通常的做法都是先看題干，再看文章，看題干的目的是為了找題干中的關鍵詞，然后幫助我們回原文定位。我們找關鍵詞的順序一般都是先找名詞。例如在這個題中，John Dane可以作為我們所要找的關鍵詞。那么找到關鍵詞之后，接下來就是要回原文定位，我們可以定位到A tailor named John Dane…這句話。這時候很多同學都覺得，是不是說我把這句話讀懂了這題就能寫出來了呢?其實不然，反之還會做錯。

大家可以閱讀一下題干，問的問題是“The story of John Dane shows that”即“John Dane這個人的故事表明了…”，我們如果在題干中看到了the story…shows that…等這類關鍵詞，就可以判斷這是例證題。什么是例證題呢?其實通俗點講就是“論點+論據”。我們剛剛定位到的這個人名其實是個論據，論據不是我們找的重點，因為命題老師不會在論據處命題，所以我們找什么呢?要找論點，那么論點在哪里?大家可以記住，論點一般都是在論據之前的一句話，所以這題的解題句就是例子之前的Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality.找到了解題句之后，大家可以看一下對應的是哪個選項，即A選項，因為選項中的superstitions和原文的superstitious對應。
