【摘要】MBA考研英語閱讀每種題型都有對(duì)應(yīng)的解題策略??忌粦?yīng)該只讀懂文章,還需把握一定的解題策略,兩者結(jié)合起來才能事半功倍。當(dāng)兩種題型融合在一題當(dāng)中,發(fā)生沖突時(shí),還需把握一定的原則,比如:細(xì)節(jié)服從主旨。
一、細(xì)節(jié)服從主旨
細(xì)節(jié)題是閱讀中出現(xiàn)最多的題型,但有時(shí)候不是單純地在考細(xì)節(jié),還需要考生結(jié)合文章主旨去看題。此外,對(duì)于有些題目中的選項(xiàng)來說,有時(shí)候設(shè)置得比較抽象,或者是難懂的長難句,難解其意,又或者排除兩個(gè),在剩下的兩個(gè)之間舉棋不定,這種時(shí)候往往就需要用到一個(gè)最為核心的解題原則,就是“細(xì)節(jié)服從主旨”。因?yàn)榧?xì)節(jié)終究還是局部的,如果與主旨相違背,哪怕本身并沒錯(cuò),也往往不是正確答案。
二、真題實(shí)例:
我們通過一個(gè)英語真題實(shí)例來看這一原則的具體運(yùn)用:
Why, then, are virtually all of these critics forgotten? Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. How is it possible that so celebrated a critic should have slipped into near-total obscurity?
24. What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?
A.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
B.His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.
C.His style caters largely to modern specialists.
D.His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.
解析:根據(jù)題目定位大寫的人物名字出現(xiàn)在最后一段第二句話,Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.句中講到這個(gè)人現(xiàn)在只被知道是一位散文作家;而后邊一句話though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics,說到他還是英國最有名的古典音樂評(píng)論家??梢娢闹行畔?qiáng)調(diào)的是他不僅是散文作家,而且還是評(píng)論家,評(píng)論家是強(qiáng)調(diào)信息。而很多同學(xué)分不太清句子邏輯關(guān)系,在幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)中徘徊不定,這時(shí)就可以采用“細(xì)節(jié)服從主旨”的方法,文章的主題是再說“評(píng)論家”,所以我們應(yīng)該選擇含有“評(píng)論”相關(guān)信息的選項(xiàng),由此可以確定為A.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
應(yīng)試往往都是有技巧和規(guī)律可循的,除了扎實(shí)地復(fù)習(xí),練就良好的閱讀功底之外,有時(shí)候利用一些這樣的技巧和原則,更便于我們做題。
