通过研究历年四级真题，可以发现在四级阅读的四个选项中是有规律可循的。如果考生熟悉并掌握了这些规律，那么，就可以在做题时找到“第六感觉”，达到所谓的超水平发挥。如果由于时间紧张，来不及看文章，万般无奈下只凭这些规律、技巧也可选中不少正确答案呢。

　　英语四级阅读题技巧：

　　(一)答案项中有绝对语气词的一般不是正确答案项。 这些语气词有：must, always, never, the most, all, only, have to, any, no, very,completely, none, hardly等。

　　例(1) One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that _____ .

　　A. the difference between the employee and the employer has become

　　insignificant.

　　B. people"s traditional concepts about work no longer hold true.

　　C. most people have to take part-time jobs.

　　D. people have to change their jobs from time to time.

　　(分析：四个选项中，C、D两项中都含有"have to"，语气太绝对化，一般被排除。考生在剩下两项中进行选择，就大大降低了难度。)

　　例(2)The main idea of this passage is that _____ .

　　A.better use of green space facilities should be made so as to

　　improve the quality of our life.

　　B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative

　　possibilities.

　　C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities

　　than it did many years ago.

　　D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory

　　activities.

　　(分析：B、D两项中均有must be,语气太绝对化，故一般被排除。考生结合短文内容在剩下两项中进行选择，命中率就极高了。)

　　(二)选项中含有不十分肯定的语气词一般是正确答案项。 这些语气词有：can, could, may, should, usually, might, most(大多数)，more or less, relatively, be likely to, possible, whether or, not necessarily等。

　　例(1)It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes.

　　A.Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries

　　B. in many countries success often depends on one"s social status

　　C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries

　　D. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America

　　(分析：选项B中often一词，语气委婉，不十分肯定，故为答案。而其它三项中所表达出的语气都明显绝对化。)

　　例(2) According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that――.

　　A. society can"t provide enough jobs for properly trained college

　　graduates

　　B. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college

　　education?

　　C. too many students have to earn their own living

　　D. college administrators encourage students to drop out

　　(分析：答案项C中有have to,语气太绝对化，故被排除。而A项中can"t的语气则不十分绝对化，故为答案。)

　　(三)选项中照抄原文的一般不是答案项，而同义替换的一般是选项。

　　例(1)According to Dr. David, Americans .

　　A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life

　　B. often neglect the unsequences of sleep deficit

　　C. do not know how to relax themselves properly

　　D. can get by on 6.5 hours of sleep

　　(分析：答案项中A、D两项基本上是原文中句子的原现，故被排除。B项中有often一词，语气委婉，不十肯定，故为答案。)

　　例(2)According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

　　A. Future man will be made of silicon instead of flesh and blood

　　B. Some day it will be difficult to tell a computer from a man

　　C. The reasoning power of computers has already surpassed that of man

　　D. Future intelligent life may not necessarily be made of organic

　　matter.(分析：A项句子基本上是原文词句，C项中有already一词，语气太绝对化，故A、C两项被排除。剩下B、D两项，而D项中有不十分肯定语气词may not,故选D。)

　　(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。

　　例(1)which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

　　A.Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.

　　B. Music can"t be passed on to future generations unless it"s recorded.

　　C. Folk songs can"t be spread for unless they are printed on music sheet.

　　D. the development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.

　　(分析：根据短文内容可以看出，A、B、C三项的内容都只是从某一个方面阐述了一种观点，而D项句子所表达的意思就较全面，高度囊括了全篇短文的主旨。)

　　例(2)The first paragraph is mainly about . (1991年6月六级题22) A.the teenagers" criticism of their parents

　　B. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents

　　C. the dominance of the parents over their children

　　D. the teenagers" ability to deal with crisis

　　(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。)

　　(五)选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的(字面意思)一般不是答案项，而概括性的、抽象的、含义深刻的是答案项。

　　例(1)The population in the 21st century, according to the writer.

　　A. will be smaller than a few years ago

　　B. will not be as small as people expect

　　C. will prove to be a threat to the world

　　D. will not constitute 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.

　　A. to be more successful in his career

　　B. to solve technical problems

　　C. to be more specialized in his field

　　D. to develop his professional skill

　　(分析：题意是"从文中看出员工素质有助于人们...。" B项题即"解决技术问题";C项意即"深化专业";D项"发展职业技能"。这三项表达的意思都比较具体，而A项则概括地有深度，包括了B、C、D三项内容。)
