1.3 英语专业八级阅读考试题型解读
1．试题难点
◆词汇量大
专八考试要求学生能认知9000~12000个单词，对考生的词汇量提出了很高的要求，并且有时会出现超纲词汇。
◆句子结构复杂，长句多，增加了阅读难度
例如：（2010年TEXT A）
As migrant workers, they don’t have the political clout enjoyed by, say,
Kolkata’s sidewalk hawkers, who, after supposedly being scaled back at the beginning of the modernization drive, still clog the sidewalks, selling absolutely everything or, as I found during the 48 hours of rain, absolutely everything but umbrellas.
◆文章篇幅较长，这就对考生快速阅读，快速获取有用信息提出了很高的要求
例如：2010年TEXT A中文章字数总共1338，学生要在有限的时间内将全文全部读，显然是不可能的。这就需要考生掌握一定的阅读方法和解题技巧。
2．常见题型分析
专业八级阅读理解多项选择题部分常见的考题类型主要有以下几种：
（1）主旨题
测试考生对整篇短文的理解。文章的主题思想就是作者通过文章所要表达的观点、感情和思想等。主题思想往往是通过文章中各部分内容及其内在联系体现出来的，通常由一个或两个句子来表达，这类题目的解题关键在于文章的第一段和最后一段。
考点设置包括主题思想、文章写作目的、文章主要话题、文章标题等。
例如：24. A suitable title for the passage would be _____. （2006年TEXT C）
A. Campaigning on the Indian frontier
B. Why the Pathans resented the British rule
C. The popularity of rifles among the Pathans
D. The Pathans at war
答案选A。这道题要求给短文选合适的标题，这就要涉及到全文的内容。文章开篇对印度边境的地理状况进行了描写，接着描述了边境上帕坦人的生活，第二段介绍了这里的人们对英国引入的来复枪的欢迎，最后一段写到殖民者修路对这里的影响。可见全文都是针对帕
坦人的战争生活展开的。
（2）细节题
细节题是英语专业四级考试中阅读理解部分常见的题目类型。这类题是根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问，选择的依据必须是短文本身提供的信息。做这类题的关键在于先找出每道题所包含的关键词和短语，然后再回到原文中寻找到含有关键词的原句。
例如：29. The disappearance of the old way of life was due to all the following EXCEPT _____. （2010年TEXT D）
A. fewer fishing companies
B. fewer jobs available
C. migration of young people
D. imposition of fishing quotas
答案选A。本题涉及到旧生活方式消失的原因。根据第三段第二句话可知，在1980s 早期打鱼限额的负担变重，很多个体渔民将他们的配额卖掉，渔业权利落于一些渔业公司之手。可见，是打鱼限额的负担而不是渔业公司造成旧生活方式消失的，所以D项正确。做对这道题的关键就在于对原文中细节处的理解。
（3）推断题
一篇文章往往不会直截了当地表明某种观点和事实，而是需要考生通过上下文的含义，推导这些观点或者事实。这类题目需要考生具备更高的阅读能力，要用更多的时间思考推断的结果，所以这类题型往往具有一定的难度。
例如：28. It can be inferred from the passage that one can get ______ of the region from the monastery. （2009年TEXT D）
A. a narrow view
B. a hazy view
C. a distant view
D. a panoramic view
答案选D。第五段中第一句提到，那山谷立于满是树木的山峦顶部，从22493英尺高的地球上最宏伟的山脉之一延伸出来。喜马拉雅山脉最著名的佛教寺院腾布齐就在那里，它周围环境的壮阔是别的地方所不能比的。由此可推断，寺院位于高耸的山峦上。山峦上视野开阔，从寺院能看到该地区的全貌。像这类题，从原文中是不能直接找到答案的，考生必须在理解原文的基础上，做出合理的推断。
（4）判断正误题
这类题型一般在四个选项中各给出一种论述或观点，这些观点多与主导信息相关联，但是其中有些是混淆性的观点和事实。
例如：12. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? （2009年TEXT A）
A. The family found the city was exactly what they had expected.
B. Their friends were opposed to their holiday plan.
C. They could have been more cautious about bringing kids along.
D. They were a bit cautious about the quality of water in the city.
答案选A。由第三段首句“what we didn’t foresee was the reaction of …”可看出朋友们对我们提出了警告，即反对我们的计划，从而排除B项；由第四段中“…although we might have more prudently checked with…”可排除C项；由第五段“…we were concerned about adapting to the water for a short stay”可排除D项。第四段第三句提到“…but we found the tourist areas quite safe，very interesting and varied enough even to suit our son…”但我们却发现那些旅游景点都很安全，有趣且多样化，甚至能满
足我儿子多变的要求。由此可见，这个城市与他们所预料的并不完全相同。
在解答这类题型时，一般可用排除法，将其他三项逐一排除，便可得到正确答案。
（5）语义题
八级考试的测试要求考生既能理解文章字面意义，又能理解其隐含意义。所以，题目往往会涉及考生对某一词汇语义或语句含义的理解，从而考查考生是否真正读懂了文章。
例如：18. “The company spends ‘a lot of time’on the ergonomics of its factories”（Paragraph 7）means that________. （2009年TEXT A）
A. the company attaches great importance to the layout of its factories
B. the company improves the working conditions in its factories
C. the company attempts to reduce production costs of its factories
D. the company intends to renovate its factories and update equipment
答案选B。第七段最后一句提到，这个公司在其工厂的人类工程学上花费了大量时间，让工作变得不那么让人厌倦，这样老龄化工人在那儿呆的就更久。由此可推断出原句是说把时间花在改善工作条件上，故答案为B。
（6）态度语气题
一篇文章的字里行间往往流露出作者对某一问题的看法和态度，有时是直接说出，有时则是暗示，专八阅读中涉及到的观点态度的表达往往属于后者，所以需要考生在纵观全文的同时仔细地推敲文章细节，全面到位地把握作者态度。
例如：15. Which of the following adjectives best describes the author’s treatment of the topic? （2008年TEXT A）
A. Objective.
B. Positive.

社会生活类（Passage63～70） Passage63 题材：社会生活类字数：686建议用时：6分钟 From a hillside,Kamal Saadat looked forlornly at hundreds of potential customers,knowing he could not take them for trips in his boat to enjoy a spring weekend on picturesque Oroumieh Lake,the third largest saltwater lake on earth, which now lay encased by solidifying salt.Saadat lamented that he could not understand why the lake was fading away. The long popular lake,home to migrating flamingos,pelicans and gulls,has shrunken by60percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years—drained by drought,misguided irrigation policies,development and the damming of rivers that feed it. Until two years ago,Saadat supplemented his income from almond-and grape-growing by taking tourists on boat tours.But as the lake receded and its salinity rose,he found he had to stop the boat every10minutes to unfoul the propeller—and finally,he had to give up this second job that he'd used to support a five-member family.The visitors were not enjoying such a boring trip,for they had to cross hundreds of meters of salty lakebed just to reach the boat from the wharf. Other boatmen,too,have parked their vessels by their houses,where they stand as sad reminders of the deep-water days.And the lake's ebbing affects an ever-widening circle.

第3章英语专业八级标准阅读篇 人物记述类（Passage 31～38） Passage 31 题材：人物记述类字数：711 建议用时：7分钟 Not long ago, Ted Gup opened a battered old suitcase from his mother's attic and discovered a family secret. Inside was a thick sheaf of letters addressed to "B. Virdot," all dated December 1933, all asking for help. Also inside: 150 canceled checks signed by the mysterious Virdot. Gup, a journalism professor at Boston's Emerson College, quickly got to the bottom of the story: His grandfather Samuel Stone had used the pseudonym to slip money to impoverished people. "At the time, he caused quite a stir," says Gup, who chronicles the story in A Secret Gift: How One Man's Kindness--And A Trove of Letters--Revealed the Hidden History of the Great Depression. Stone wasn't a mogul, but as the owner of a chain of clothing stores, he was fairly well off. Just before Christmas, 1933, he placed an ad in his local Canton, Ohio, newspaper, offering money to 75 people who wrote to "B. Virdot" explaining their need. The letters poured in and were so heartrending (心碎的) that he ended up giving 150 people $5--close to $84 in today's money. "I read all the letters multiple times," says Gup, who was astonished by the raw anguish of the Depression. Then he tracked down the recipients" descendants. "Most people I contacted wept when
英语专业八级(考研)阅读理解模拟试题及解析
考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及解析一 The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed intuition to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise；and to integrate action into the process of thinking. Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness. Isenberg's recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers' intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha！experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns. One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert. Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution. 1. According to the text, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to [A] Speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem. [B] Identify a problem. [C] Bring together disparate facts. [D] Stipulate clear goals. 2. The text suggests which of the following about the writers on management mentioned in line 1, paragraph 2？
2019年英语专八阅读理解考前练习试题及答案
2019年英语专八阅读理解考前练习试题及答案 Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers ?D using nonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them. The creative shaping process of a technologist’s mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should be valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions such as wall thickness and pin diameter may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.
英语专业八级考试阅读理解练习
英语专业八级考试阅读理解练习 In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law. Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. "Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violence say, "all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. "Possible, my lord," the barrister replied, "none the wiser, but surely far better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve. 1. What is the best title for this passage? [A] Advocating Violence. [B] Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice. [C] Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution. [D] The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.

英语专业八级考试真题(阅读部分).
03年英语专业八级考试真题(阅读部分) 2007-04-05 It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip co Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriv!ng in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her." The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not’ shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack On the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放跑的人) The Princess responded by brushing aside the Criticisms: "This is a distraction ( 干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help." Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their Support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-inf0rmed about both the situa-tion in Angola and the British government’s policy reg arding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." - For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn countrywas an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much
