常見閱讀考點出處之三 — 特殊標(biāo)記
　　細(xì)心的同學(xué)會在以前的四六級大綱中發(fā)現(xiàn)，快速閱讀部分寫到：“要求考生運(yùn)用略讀和查讀的技能從篇章中獲取信息。“考核學(xué)生利用各種提示，快速查找特定信息的能力。這些提示包括文中的以下信息：
　　1. 數(shù)字
　　2. 大寫單詞
　　3. 段首或句首詞等
　　很顯然，這一條不僅適用于快速閱讀，也適用于仔細(xì)閱讀。

　　真題再現(xiàn)
　　例1：In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen(監(jiān)督) “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.” (2009.12, cet4)
　　65. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.
　　A. she was known to be good at raising money
　　B. she could help strengthen its ties with Yale
　　C. she knew how to attract students overseas
　　D. she had boosted Yale’s academic status
　　【答案】A
　　【解析】文中提到，劍橋大學(xué)于2003年任命Alison Richard為副校長，而句中publicly stressed(公開強(qiáng)調(diào))之后的內(nèi)容即為任命她的原因，便是：在以前的崗位上她的監(jiān)管使得“耶魯?shù)呢斦匚坏玫斤@著加強(qiáng)”。所以，推理可知，答案為A。
　　例2：Richard Got professor of astrophysics at Princeton, hopes man will set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, which would be a “l(fā)ife insurance policy against whatever catastrophes, natural or otherwise, might occur on Earth. (2008.6, cet6)
　　66. According to Princeton professor Richard Gott, by setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars, Humans_____.
　　A. might survive all catastrophes on earth
　　B. might acquire ample natural resources
　　C. will be able to travel to Mars freely
　　D. will move there to live a better life
　　【答案】A
　　【解析】題干中setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars可在原文中直接找到，原文中which引導(dǎo)的定語從句表示的內(nèi)容就是setting up a self-sufficient colony on Mars所帶來的影響：人類能夠應(yīng)對地球上各種各樣的災(zāi)難從而幸存下來。A選項中的survive all catastrophes on earth 是對原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。
