However, chances arethat you dont act on your impulse, but let it pass instead.You know that to mit the action is wrong in some way andthat other people will not aept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomeno

33、nof taboo(禁忌的) behavior is how it can change over theyears within the same society, how certain behavior andattitudes once considered taboo can bee perfectly aeptableand natural at another point in time. Topics such as death,for example, were once considered so upsetting andunpleasant that it was a

Nowwith the publication of important books such as On Deathand Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have bee moreaware of the importance of expressing feelings about deathand, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboosubject.One of the newest taboos i

35、n American society is thetopic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic thatAmericans talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talkabout fat; its taboo to be fat. The in look is thin, notfat. In the work world, most panies prefer youthful-looking,trim executives to sell their image as well as

36、 theirproducts to the public. The thin look is associated withyouth, vigor, and suess. The fat person, on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious societylike the U.

37、 millions of Americanshave bee obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and in shape.The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not,however, the sole reason for Americas obsession with dietand exercise. Recent research has shown the criticalimportance of diet and exercise for personal health. As inmost

B生词较多许多感觉六级阅读中生词较多，阅读时不得不花费大量的时间和精力去理解文章中出现的生词。确实，词汇量是任何英文阅读(特别是像六级这样的高级英文 阅读)的根底。但我认为六级单词相对于四级仅多了 1200 个。如果考生能充分掌握四级词汇，文章中出现的生词是不应该成为我们阅读的拦路虎。我们知道，任何文章段落与段落或句子与句子之间都会有逻辑联系。句子中词的作用(尤其是形容词、副词或连词)就在于表达某种逻辑关系。考生完全可以通过体 会句子与句子之间的逻辑关系猜出或体会出某种生词的指向范围或大致含义。因为六级考试阅读文章并不要求对

44、“生词”释义的准确掌握我们的目的是了解文章或句子大意。所以，只要到达这种效果我们就能掌握文章或句子的大致内容，完全符合考试大纲的要求。如今离考试越来越近，再背字典是不可能的了。建议大家背历年真题里的生词，在阅读真题的过程中将自己不认识的单词划出来重点记忆，特别是这几年真题里经常出现的高频词汇，这些词汇对应试都有很大帮助，甚至可以用在作文中。难句看不懂六级四篇阅读文章中必定会出现一些难句。也许难句中的每一个词考生都能看懂，但是整个句子却无法把握其含义。就其原因在于中国同学欠缺两方面的英文阅读 能力：1、缺乏对英文语言表达思维习惯的适应;2、不能抓住难句的句子主干。首先，英文的语言表达思维习惯与中

45、文有较大的区别。中文习惯主、谓、宾的句子 构造;英文中却存在大量的倒装构造，再加上繁杂的插入语等复杂的语言现象对于习惯将英文翻译成中文后理解英文的中国考生而言无法对入中文的理解习惯，自然 无法理解句子的含义。其次，无法从复杂的从句套从句语法构造中判断出句子主干，同样会导致无法对入相应的中文语言习惯而最终使考生无法把握句子含义。这是阅读习惯的问题，短时间内很难改变。考试临近，建议大家多看真题阅读文章中的句子，将它们分段、抓主干后翻译，尽量培养阅读习惯，做好热身也总比打无准备之仗强。无法判断句子隐含意思我们知道六级文章要求考生对原文的信息进展推断。换言之，就是从文章的原话中无法知道考生需要知道的信

46、息。我认为这是源于考生在平时训练六级考试时往往 忽略对文章推理方法的熟悉而导致的。任何隐含信息的推出都是基于原文提供的信息进展相应的逻辑推理得出的。考生如果不能进展有效的逻辑推理要么无法得出隐含信息，要么就会选错方向而落入命题者的陷阱中。考生在做题时可以先将问题中与原文出现的相同词汇划出来，然后再做依次排除，一般答案是与原文意思相同但词语使用不同的那句。平时这就要求考生多阅读国外文章，培养外国人的思维方式，这对考试也是很有帮助的。或者如果时间充裕，建议考生将六级词汇按同义、近义词进展分类背记。时间不够我们知道六级阅读文章要在 40 分钟内读完 1 篇长篇阅读和 3 篇仔细阅读，考生如感觉时间不够，原因无外乎三个：1、花在文章阅读的时间太长;2、无法快速 地定位选项在文章中的定位(表现在不得不重新阅读、浏览全文或某个文章段落);3、无法快速、准确地从四个备选项中判断出正确选项(表现在犹豫不决)。针对考生感觉时间不够的问题，建议考生先从题目看起，看完题目后再去文章中找答案，这样更有针对性，还可以将文中的例子忽略不看，节省时间，提高阅读速 度。如果这样还感觉时间不够的话，其实可以缩短词汇类题目的答题时间，适当的将阅读局部的时间延长到 40-45 分钟，不过也要保证其它题目有时间做才行。猜你喜欢：1.2.3.4.5.
