­　　2017英語專業四級閱讀技巧：正確識別題目種類

­　　英語專業四級考試的閱讀理解題目主要有主旨題、細節題(或事實題)、推斷題等。不同的題目有不同的答題方法，因此正確的判斷題目的類型非常重要。以下是幾組主要的題型：

­　　主旨題

­　　主旨題主要是來測試考生對文章整體大意的理解，這類題目一般以下列形式出現：

­　　What does the passage mainly discuss?

­　　The main point of the passage is to ...

­　　The purpose of this passage is to ...

­　　The author’s purpose in writing this passage is ...

­　　Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? 

­　　The principal idea of the article is ...

­　　The best title for this passage is ...

­　　The passage is mainly concerned with ...

­　　The passage mainly concerns ...

­　　The main theme of this passage is ...

­　　The general idea of the passage is about ... 

­　　細節題(事實題)

­　　此類題目是為了測試考生把握文章細節描寫的能力。這類試題主要以下列形式出現：

­　　Which of the following is NOT true of ...

­　　Which of the following statements is true of...

­　　Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

­　　The author states all the following EXCEPT...

­　　推斷題

­　　對于考生來說，推斷題是比較難的一類題。因為它是測試考生對作者在文中隱含意義的理解能力。這類題目主要以下列形式出現：

­　　It can be inferred from the passage that ...

­　　The author implies that ...

­　　The passage suggests that ...

­　　Which of the following statements about ...can be inferred from the passage? 

­　　The author seems to indicate that ...

­　　We can conclude from the passage that... 

­　　態度/語氣題

­　　 這類題目也較難。此類題目主要是測試考生把握作者情感的能力。但是這類題在近幾年的考試中已經越來越少。這類題目主要有以下幾種形式：

­　　The author is ______ about ...

­　　The author’s attitude toward the problem can best be described as ...

­　　The author’s attitude towards ... is...

­　　除了以上幾種主要的題目類型外，還有情景轉移題、文章寫作技巧題、詞匯題等，這些

­　　類型的題目總的來說出現頻率不高，故此處不再贅述。
