42. 大学英语短文简答题命题倾向及应试技巧 • 一、简答题与阅读理解题的异同 　　这两类题型既有相同点，又有各自的特点。相同点都是对短文材料进行阅读，并要理解内容。因此，阅读能力的培养，贵在平时。只有在阅读好，理解好短文材料基础上，才谈得上应试技巧。不同点在于，简答题主要是考查学生语言组织能力和表达能力，它要求学生用简短的词组或句子回答提问或补充完整句子，而阅读理解题是在四个选项中做出唯一正确地选择。它有三个干扰项，考生易被干扰项引入歧途。因此，简答题虽说表面上量大而且要求宽，但其实质却是降低了考试难度。因此，考生对这种题型不必担忧。只要考生掌握了下面的应试技巧，在平时稍加注意，此题得分率必将提高。

43. 二、命题倾向剖析及应试技巧 • 简答题主要考五种题型：主旨大意题、事实细节题、推理题、作者观点和态度题、词汇和短语含义题，而以事实细节题考得最多。

44. 1、主旨大意题 • 此类题型要求考生用最简洁而又内涵丰富的词或短语高度概括文章的中心思想。许多考生的难处是短文看懂了，中心意思也知道，就是不知该如何表达出来。此时，只要能找到主题句，通过对主题句进行"手术"，就能找到最佳答案。而主题句通常都在段首或段末，有时是一疑问句或一简单句，且具有语法上的独立性。关键词有"in short"、"in my opinion"、"that is"、"therefore"、"I believe/suggest/think"、"in fact"等。

45. 2、事实细节题 • 此类题型是简答题考查最多题型，又称为W-questions。此类问题通常是借助what, who, where, when, why, which, how等提问。应试者应学会运用快速浏览、跳读、查读等技巧，迅速确定答案在文章里的大概位置，然后细读、确定答案。一般来说，文章所含细节虽然比较零散，但大部分都能直接找到。不过，对于有些细节，必须针对所要回答的问题细心地逐个搜索。

46. 3、推理题 • 1）特定细节的推断：特定细节的推断是对文章中某个具体细节进行推理、判断。该类型的问题虽然不像具体信息题那样可以直接寻找答案，但只要对文章提供的相应的具体信息进行分析便可得出答案。 • 2）对于文章上、下篇主题的判断：考生可以根据短文提供的线索（文章的开头或结尾）推断本篇短文以前或以后要探讨的内容。

47. 4、作者观点、态度题 • 某些文章的作者表达自己的态度。作者的态度可能表现得明显，也可能隐藏在字里行间。在分析作者的语气、态度时，考生只要能抓住作者的一些措辞，尤是表示感情色彩的一些形容词或副词，便能推断出作者的态度是悲观还是乐观，是同情还是厌恶，是讥讽还是赞成，是肯定还是否定等。

48. 5、词汇和短语含义题 • 词汇题主要是测试考生对于一些超出大纲的生词以及对一些熟悉词语的新义的理解，此题型可根据阅读理解中有关技巧进行 。

49. 三、简答题得高分基本原则 • 以上归纳了简答命题倾向及解题技巧，考生掌握了这些知识后，还要注意以下几个方面才能得到高分。 1、答案尽量用短语或词组，句子要简洁。 2、尽量用短文中出现的词组或短语，句子的用词也应以短文中出现的关键词为先。若非用自己的语言组织、表达不可，则注意句子结构的精炼、完整和时态的正确。 3、注意大小写正确及书写的工整。

50. 四、短文分析 • In Britain, the old Road Traffic Act restricted speeds to 2 m.p.h. (miles per hour) in towns and 4 m.p.h. in the country. Later Parliament increased the speed limit to 14 m.p.h. But by 1903 the development of the car industry had made it necessary to raise the limit to 20 m.p.h. By 1930, however, the law was so widely ignored that speeding restrictions were done away with altogether. For five years motorists were free to drive at whatever speeds they liked. Then in 1935 the Road Traffic Act imposed a 30 m.p.h. speed limit in built-up areas, along with the introduction of driving tests and pedestrian crossing.
