大学英语六级阅读理解的解题方法
一、先题后文，切忌通篇
先看题再看文章能够将更多简单的题先做出来，当你发现简单题全部处理完毕之后，剩下的难题可以再重新回到文章当中再去找那些已经被挑剩下的段落。所以不管怎么样一定是先题后文，稍后再文题同步或先文后题。
二、准确定位，关键词VS同义替换
其实阅读只考两件事，一件事情是简单的：看到什么，定位什么，选择什么;而另外一个则是通过定位确定这个位置，然后再进行一个切换之后发现原来这个东西就是另外一个东西。
1、关键词定位(key words positioning)
栗子1：Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.
像这道题就属于比较简单的题目。当这道题出现的时候，同学们应该关注的是两个数据，而20世纪70年代中期这个数据其实它的意义绝对没有3.9%大，因为前方是一个时间段，有可能经常出现，而后方是一个具体数值，具体数值的高频可能性不大，因为对于很多人来说他们都明白越高频的单词或短语的形式越不能成为我们的核心钩划点，3.9%一旦出现就让我们在全文当中展开3.9%的寻找之旅吧!
栗子2：Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5million in 2004.
这时我们会发现顺序再读的时候四级样卷的C段出现了一个3.9%，这样一个点一旦出现，这一道四级简单的匹配题就结束了。
2、同义替换(paraphrasing)
接下来，我们再来看另外一个匹配的情况，是一个稍难的版本。
栗子1：A series of books, mostly authored by Americans, warned...
这句话的含义是一个系列的书籍都是由美国作者来完成的，警告说。。。
首先，可别看错，在原文中出现一个单词叫succession，它意思是一个序列的，或者是一个系列的一拨儿的，千万不要看成了成功，整句翻译为一个序列的书主要是由美国人来做。大家仔细看一下mainly换成了mostly，而warned，警告，被换成了sounded the alarm，"拉响警笛"或"拉响警报"。由此我们发现，同义替换对于解题是非常重要的。
因此，平时一定要多做同义替换的积累，比如more and more people其实不是一个好的`表达，我们可以升级为an increasing number of people。这个版本就要比more and more people好一些，平时多注意同义词替换方面的积累。
大学英语六级考试阅读答题技巧
一、长篇阅读题(即段落信息匹配题)
这个题型是改革后的新题型，考生一开始接触肯定会有些不适应。考试时一定要注意时间的控制，不要影响了后面的答题时间。
长篇阅读题答题时要从两方面入手：
1、先看题再看文章，能够将更多简单的题先做出来，简单题全部处理完毕之后，剩下的难题可以再重新回到文章当中再去找那些已经被挑剩下的段落。
2、关键词定位：特别注意题干中的数字、特殊的人名地名等，在原文中很可能换到直接对应的。
二、仔细阅读题(即我们熟知的选择题)
1. 认真阅读五道题，确定题型，找出关键词;
2. 粗略浏览文章，确定每道题目的位置;
3. 定位明确区域，对比选项，切忌过度推导;
4. 注意区域中举例、标点、转折等语言现象;
5. 每篇文章做题时间10-12分钟
三、词汇理解题(即选词填空题)
1.选词填空题答题时首先要给选项分词性：n.v.a.ad.
2.根据每空前后信息判断空格处所需词汇的词性
3.把对应词性选项逐一带回原文，含义明确，语句通顺，时态主谓搭配一致者为正确答案。
英语六级考试阅读理解练习题
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
It would be all too easy to say that Facebook's market meltdown is coming to an end. Afterall, Mark Zuckerberg's social network burned as much as $ 50 billion of shareholders' wealth injust a couple months. To put that in context, since its debut(初次登台) on NASDAQ in May,Facebook has lost value nearly equal to Yahoo, AOL, Zynga, Yelp, Pandora, OpenTable,Groupon, LinkedIn, and Angie's List combined, plus that of the bulk of the publicly tradednewspaper industry:
As shocking as this utter failure may be to the nearly 1 billion faithful Facebook usersaround the world, it's no surprise to anyone who read the initial public offering (IPO)prospectus (首次公开募股说明书). Worse still, all the crises that emerged when the companydebuted-overpriced shares, poor corporate governance, huge challenges to the core business,and a damaged brand-remain today. Facebook looks like a prime example of what Wall Streetcalls a falling knife-that is, one that can cost investors their fingers if they try to catch it.
Start with the valuation(估值). To justify a stock price close to the lower end of theprojected range in the IPO, say $ 28 a share, Facebook's future growth would have needed tomatch that of Google seven years earlier. That would have required increasing revenue by some80 percent annually and maintaining high profit margins all the while.
That's not happening. In the first half of 2012, Facebook reported revenue of $ 2.24 billion, up38 percent from the same period in 2011. At the same time, the company's costs surged to $ 2.6 billion in the six-month period.
This so-so performance reflects the Achilles' heel of Facebook's business model, which thecompany clearly stated in a list of risk factors associated with its IPO: it hasn't yet figured outhow to advertise effectively on mobile devices, The number of Facebook users accessing thesite on their phones surged by67 percent to 543 million in the last quarter, or more than half itscustomer base.
Numbers are only part of the problem. The mounting pile of failure creates a negativefeedback loop that threatens Facebook's future in other ways. Indeed, the more Facebook'sdisappointment in the market is catalogued, the worse Facebook's image becomes. Not onlydoes that threaten to rub off on users, it's bad for recruitment and retention of talentedhackers, who are the lifeblood of Zuckerberg's creation.
Yet the brilliant CEO can ignore the sadness and complaints of his shareholders thanks tothe super- voting stock he holds. This arrangement also was fully disclosed at the time of theoffering. It's a pity so few investors apparently bothered to do their homework.
61. What can be inferred about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A.Its market meltdown has been easily halted.
B.It has increased trade with the newspaper industry.
C.It has encountered utter failure since its stock debut.
D.Its shareholders have invested $ 50 billion in a social network.
62. The crises Facebook is facing_____
A.have been disclosed in the IPO prospectus
B.are the universal risks Wall Street confronts
C.disappoint its faithful users
D.have existed for a long time
63. To make its stock price reasonable, Facebook has to____
A.narrow the IPO price range
B.cooperate with Google
C.keep enormously profitable
D.invest additional $ 2.6 billion
64. It can be inferred from the context that the "Achilles' heel" (Line 1, Para. 5) refersto____
A.deadly weakness
B.problem unsolved
C.indisputable fact
D.potential risk
65. What effect will Facebook's failure in the market have?
A.Its users' benefits will be threatened.
B.Talented hackers will take down the website.
C.The CEO will hold the super-voting stock.
D.The company's innovation strength will be damaged.
参考答案
61.C)。本题考查第一段的主旨大意。此种题型可以使用排除法，将各选项代入原文来验证对错。A)“脸谱网的市场崩溃已被轻而易举地制止了”，原文开篇指出，说脸谱网的市场崩溃将要结束未免太简单了.A)与原文不符，故排除;B)“脸谱网增加了与报纸业之间的商务往来”，原文首段末句plus that of… 中的that指的是value，意指脸谱网自登陆纳斯达克以来，损失的价值等同于几个大型互联网企业加上大部分报业价值的总和，B)与原文不符，故排除;C)“脸谱网自股票上市以来遭遇了巨大失败”，由第一段中的burned，lost等词可以推断脸谱网上市后遭遇了巨大失败，故为答案。
62.D)。事实细节题。D)‘‘已经存在很长时间了”，与定位句中remain today的意思相同，故为答案。
63.C)。本题考查脸谱网如何才能使其制定的股价合理，题干中的reasonable对应原文中的justify。定位句提到，要实现接近其公开募股说明书上的较低股价，比如每股28美元，这就要求脸谱网年收益增长要高达80%，并始终保持高利润率，故答案为c)。
64.A)。本段提到，脸谱网现在还未解决如何有效地在移动设备上做广告这一问题，而用手机登录其网站的用户数量却不断飙升，且文章通篇语义色彩都是消极的，故可推出此处应指脸谱网商业模式中的致命软肋，故答案为A)。
65.D)。由定位句可知，脸谱网在市场上的失意不仅会影响到用户，还会影响招募和挽留天才 黑客，而这些人正是扎克伯格创造力的命脉。由此推知，脸谱网的创新力会因其市场失意而受到损害，故答案为D)。
