9 E% i- r  W8 X: ?$ r/ `第一篇：阅读理解题答案项特征

通过研究历届四、六级阅读理解题，我们发现，在所列出的四个选项中，也有一些普遍性规律可循。如果考生了解、熟悉并掌握了这些规律，他(她)们就可以找到做题时的"第六感觉"，达到所谓超常发挥的水平。如果考生来不及看文章，万般无奈下凭这些规律可以选中不少正确选项。

(四)较全面、有针对性地表达文章中心思想的，选项一般是答案项。

8 ?  `* q5 h- R(分析：短文意思是讲年青人有时批评、责备其父母，认为父母对他们间误解负大部分责任是自然的事。而B项意思是年青人和父母间的误解；C项意思是父母对他们孩子的统治；D项指年轻人处理危机的能力。根据短文内容，可以明确看出，B、C、D三项内容都是从三个方面来论述短文观点的，而A项则较全面地、有针对性地表达了文章的中心意思，故为答案。)

D. will not c**titute as serious a problem as expected
(分析：选项A、B中都有small一词，该词在文中出现过，因而总觉肤浅，是字面之意。C项明显与文章不符，而D项表达的意义比small要深刻得多。)

例(2) From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one . (1990年1月六级题)

A. stressing their high quality
B. unlinking him of their low price
C. maintaining a balance between quality and price

% m% C, n9 V3 i7 t+ |$ K2 `6 a(分析：题目问的是，"依作者观点，抚养孩子是 "。 依据我们日常生活所闻所见，抚养孩子就是A. "一种道德责任" B."不求回报的工作"。我们都觉得抚养孩子是人生义务，是天经地义的。这两项太熟悉了，因而一般不是答案。而C项"求回报的事"，似乎不太合人情味、合乎常识。但这样的选项就是答案。D项有inevitable 一词，语气太绝对化，故排除掉。此外，在作者态度题中，象中立态度(neutral)一般不是选项。在四个选项中，忽然有一个选项特别长或特别短，则此选项往往是正确选项。在两个选项中，如果除个别字外，其他部分完全一样，其中往往有一个是正确选项。"None of the above"往往是用作干扰项。)
