英语六级阅读临战策略

距离大学英语六级考试还有不足一个月的时间,笔者给临战的考生朋友们一些建议。希望能通过本文帮大家梳理一个头绪,在最后的备战中尽量做到有的放矢,弹无虚发。

一、快速阅读。

大学六级中的第一道阅读题目是快速阅读,很多考生朋友都向笔者反映:快速阅读怎么做啊?拿到题目是先看文章还是先看题目啊?怎么我总是做不完题啊?有什么方法可以提高阅读速度啊?等等等等……这几个问题相信也是大家最关心的,那接下来,笔者将从六级快速阅读的命题特征,做题步骤,解题方法几个角度来谈谈如何攻克快速阅读。

1. 六级快速阅读的命题特征。

六级快速阅读的文章篇幅约为1200 单词,通常是略多一些的,整个题目的给定时间为15 分钟。文章之后是十道题目,这十题可以会出现两种组合:一种为4 道是非判断题(也就是大家所熟悉的Y/N/NG题)加上6道句子填空题(也可称补全句子);另一种为7 道选择题加上3道句子填空题。

至于考试最终会以哪种形式出题,在考纲中是没有明确说明的,从改革之后的几次实考情况来看,06 年12 月六级开始使用新题型,到09 年6 月的六级考试中,第一种题目组合形式考了两次,分别是06 年12月和07年6月;第二种题目组合形式考了之后的四次。大家可以从以上的信息中来分配自己对于每种题型的复习时间。

2. 六级快速阅读的做题步骤。

由于整个快速阅读部分总体时间为15 分钟,如果不进行合理的规划,这样的时间是绝对不够用的。很多考生朋友会问到底应该以一种什么样的顺序来做题?我们先来了解一下在考试大纲中的说法:

“要求考生运用略读和查读的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核学生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力,阅读速度约为每分钟120 词。查读考核学生利用各种提示,如数字、大字单词、段首或句首词等,快速查找特定信息的能力。”

从考纲中我们发现,这里有三个重点信息:略读、查读、速度为120 词/ 分钟。从这三点上我们基本上可以确实整体的步骤了,那就是选定信息+回到文章查找信息+对比解题。而且我们应该是看一题,做一题。这就是所谓的略读、查读。其实这正是我们平时所使用的从题干中找关键词,回文章定位的办法。快速阅读其实就是考定位。

而另外一个信息,阅读速度问题,表面上看到这个120词/ 分钟,很考生都望

而却步,这绝对是一个无法企及的速度,但笔者提醒大家看它前面的文字,这样读的目的是为了获取文章主旨大意,而不是精细分析,于是结合大家以往所掌握的英语阅读知识应该知道,在英语中主旨的位置往往是相对固定的,想要把握1200 个单词的文章的主旨根本不需要全文阅读,只需要看几个位置就可以了,如标题、首段、小标题。所以说这里的阅读速度应该更确切的讲是平均速度。

建议做题步骤:

1) 看题干,划出关键词

2)看一题,定位一题。

3)对比原文与题干,找出异同或丢失信息,解题。

3. 六级快速阅读的解题方法。

对历年真题比较熟悉的考生也会发现,在快速阅读中往往会出现以下三条小原则:

1)题目的顺序与文章的顺序高度一致。

不论是哪种题目组合,这十道题都是严格的按照行文的顺序,依次出现,所以大家完全可以好好利用这一条小规律,按照顺序去查找,并且坚决不走“回头路”。

如果在做题中出现某道题的关键词不够明确,也可以通过这个小规律,采用

“迂回”战术来解决,那就是先放着无法定位的题目不做,而去做下一道能够明

确定位的题目,再利用题目与文章顺序一致,大概确定上题的范围,再做查找,范围缩小,也就意味着难度降低了。

2)解题句几乎是将文章等分。

做完一篇快速阅读之后,再重新审视全文,看看定位点,大概也会发现这个小规律,当然这只是大致的一个认识,十个解题句(定位点)几乎就是将全文十等

分,这一点认识对我们快速定位也会有一定的帮助,每次找到一个解题句之后,下一道题基本上可以直接在下一段,或者大约隔十行去寻找了,这样会节省少许的时间。

3)正确答案基本是原文再现。

这一点无需多讲,一如前面关于考纲的分析所讲过的,旨在考察考生快速查找信息的能力,所以重在找,而非转述或分析,只要找到信息就可以了,那么在答案中往往是以原文原词再现。如:2009年6月20日六级考试快速阅读中的第一题:

1. When Lenore Ske nazy's son was allowed to take the subway alone, he????? 。

A) was afraid that he might get lost

B) enjoyed having the independence

C) was only too pleased to take the risk

D) thought he was an exceptional child

利用划线处的几个关键词,在原文中定位句:

Still, when Lenore Skenazy, a columnist for the New York Sun, wrote

about letting her son take the subway alone to get back to her Manhattan home from a department store on the Upper East Side, she didn 't expect

to get hit with a wave of criticism from readers 。

“Long story short: My son got home, overjoyed with independence, ”Skenazy wrote on April 4 in the New York Sun

于是正确答案即为B 项,enjoyed having the independence 正是原文的再现。

二、传统阅读。

传统阅读是六级阅读中分值比例最大的一种题型,共有两篇文章,平均篇幅约为450 词,每篇文章后有五道题,均是选择题。这种题型是考生朋友们最为熟悉的,笔者在此从命题规律,解题方法两方面做简要分析。

1. 六级传统阅读的命题规律。

六级的传统阅读与四级相比,在形式上并没有太大的变化,只是篇幅略长。同时,题型也基本一致。在此总结一下具体规律:

1)题目顺序与文章顺序基本一致。

注意这里讲的是基本一致,不是完全一致,也不是高度一致,意思是说在实际解题中经常能看到下一题的解题句出现在上一题的解题句之前,这就给我们定位带来了一定的难度,很多考生朋友习惯的是四级时高度一致,做完一道题就不再回头看,这样经常会无法在六级阅读中定位。在此建议大家在定位时,还应该以关键词为准,除非实在不好找的才使用题目与文章顺序的关系。

2)五种题型的关系与六级阅读考察重点。

大家对于阅读题的普遍认识是有五种题型,分别为:细节题、主旨题、推断题、态度题和语义题。那么这其中实际上是有内在联系的,细节题和主旨题是相对独立的关系,而推断题实际

上并不要求考生根据文章的信息去推理和分析,而

于是正确答案即为B 项,enjoyed having the independence 正是原文的再要从两个角度去思考,有的推断题在题干中会给出一些信息,如2007 年12 月22

日的传统阅读的第58 题:What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman 's lamentation? 在

这里我们看到推断题的信号词learn ,同时又发现了一个专有名词(人名),说明此处的推断是

从原文中引用句来的,需要去研究一下引用的具体语言,这种做法正是细节题的解题思路。又如

2009 年6 月20 日传统阅读的第一题:Wecan learn from the first paragraph that ,这道题干也有信号词learn ,

但是又给出了第一段这个范围,可并没有说是根据哪一句,我们通常就要去研究一下这第一段的段落主旨来解决了,所以是主旨题的解题思路了。通过这两个题干,我们会发现,推断题说到底是细节题和主旨题的变体考法,之所以叫推断是由于推断题的信息往往不是原文直接表述的,而是通过对比,比较,转折等手段间接说出来的,但具体做法还是细节题或主旨题。

类似地,态度题也是一样,有的题干问法是针对细节,有的则是针对全文。而语义题,也称猜词题,则为固定的细节考法,往往都是借助所考的单词,短语或句子的上下文来解决。归结到底,六级传统阅读就是两种考法:细节和主旨,这也正是考试大纲中的重点,“理解中心思想和重要细节”。

我们还应该了解一下细节和主旨相比,重中之重在于细节题,从历年的真题中,我们发现绝大多数的题目是细节题,这也就进一步证实,阅读题的考察重点是细节题的解题能力,笔者把这种能力归结为:查找加对应能力。也就是根据题干信息查找原文说法,对比原文与选项的能力。

3)出题往往与语言特征相结合。

大学英语六级选词填空应试技巧

大学英语四级阅读:选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章,文章中挖出10个空,并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空,有更大的解题难度,原因在于: 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一,选词填空第一题要十五选一,就算用到排除法,最后一题也要六选一,而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到,难度加大; 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性,只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答,而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性,解题时需要同时判断词性和词义,难度加大; 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态,统一形式,而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态,名词的单复数等的辨析,难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项,了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性:名词n,动词v,形容词a,副词ad,在每个选项后作词性的简要标记; 2. 精读全文开头,把握文章主题,并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位,利用前后文判 断每空的词性; 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文,含义通顺,时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时,一些经常考察的形式如下: 名词:通常来说,冠词(如a,an,the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词,即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。", 举例说明:Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式,正确答案是nightmare,这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词,正确答案是strength,这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候,海洋温度上升,导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子:Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法,用句子结构来判断,前面一句话,husbands and children now do some of these jobs,这是一个完整的句子,主语husbands and children,谓语动词do,宾语some of these jobs;后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句,它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词,而定语从句的中心词是名词,所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法,根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断,横线处应该填一个名词,而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了,这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词:动词的考点很多,我们来看其中三种: 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明:He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里,主语是he,本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语,但是这里没有动词,而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers,这样这句话就缺少谓语动词,所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid,这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师,

20186月大学英语六级真题、译文和详细解析汇报[仔细阅读卷二]

2018年6月大学英语六级考试仔细阅读真题解析(卷二) Section C Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Economically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago? In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the Census Bureau, which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015. Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful, but flawed and incomplete, statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Census’s measure are that: 1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation like employer-provided health insurance; and 2) it is based on surveys rather than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income. While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interesting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic performance both across countries and over time. The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U.S. and France in 2005. In 2005, as the authors observe, real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U.S., making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison omits other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take longer vacations and retire earlier, so typically work fewer hours; they enjoy a higher life expectancy, presumably reflecting advantages with respect to health care, diet, lifestyle, and the like; and income and consumption are somewhat more equally distributed there than in the U.S. Because of these differences, comparing France’s consumption with the U.S.’s overstates

英语快速阅读:英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率

英语快速阅读:英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率在继“出国考托福需要的三种快速阅读(按住ctrl键,鼠标点击可做具体了解)技巧”和“出国考雅思需要快速阅读”等英语快速阅读文章外,精英特速读记忆训练网再推出“英语六级考试中的如何提高阅读效率”以供大家作英语快速阅读技巧及训练的参考。 大学英语六级考试大纲(2006年修订版)明确指出:快速阅读部分采用1~2篇较长篇幅的文章或多篇短文,总长度约为1200词。要求考生运用略读(skimming)和查读(scanning)的技能从篇章中获取信息。略读考核考生通过快速阅读获取文章主旨大意或中心思想的能力,阅读速度约为每分钟120词;查读考核学生利用各种提示,如数字、大写单词、段首或句首词等,快速查找特定信息的能力。 其中“每分钟120词”的“高速度”通常会让大多数考生感到无从下手。其实不必如此,下面介绍三招来实现快速阅读真正的又快又好! 第一招:明确试题特点,做到有的放矢 从近几年的真题来看,快速阅读理解部分采用的题型有是非判断题、句子填空题和选择题等。 1. 是非判断题 是非判断题要求我们根据原文信息判断题目中各个句子的描述是“对(Yes)”、“错(No)”还是“未提及(Not Given)”。判断的原则是确定题干与原文语句之间的关系,基本标准是:如果题干与原文意思一致,就是“对(Y)”; 如果题干与原文意思不一致,就是“错(N)”; 如果题干与原文既不一致也不矛盾,则说明原文对题干表述的事物不曾提及,或未作判断,即为“未提及(NG)”。 2. 句子填空题 句子填空题主要通过改变原文句子结构,或者变换其中的连接词,或缺省其中的某个句子成分,让考生补充所需内容。这类题目要先分析所缺的部分,是一个词、短语、还是从句等,是名词性、动词性还是形容词性等,填的时候要“对症下药”;最后分析原文相关语句,尽量用原文词语填空,但要做到简练,以保证所填内容的准确性。 3. 选择题 选择题是快速阅读的一个备选题型,四个选项就意味着关键词出现的高频率,也相对降低了解题难度。快速阅读的选择题一般很少有需要推理或综合判断的题目,只需根据题干的关键词定位到文中相关语句,答案即一目了然。 第二招:掌握阅读方法,以求成竹在胸 快速阅读题目考查的阅读方法是略读(skimming)和查读(scanning),强调的是考生在实践语言环境中查询有效信息的能力,其中略读(skimming)的重点在于快速了解文章的中心思想,查读(scanning)的重点在于有目标地找出文中某些特定的信息。

2015大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案 第一篇 A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators(呼吸器)to help patients breathe, is the mainstay(主要支持)of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____. A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients C. determining treatment for SARS D. publishing all the information about SARS

2014年12月大学英语四级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧

2014年12月大学英语六级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧 需要指出的是,在一篇文章的阅读过程中,我们要根据不同的要求采用不同的阅读方法。总的来说,在正式考试中,阅读理解部分可参照下列步骤进行。首先用“快读”的方法浏览全文,以了解中心思想及大意。在此基础上,可根据要回答的问题,用“查读”的方法,或(查到文章中与答题内容有关的范围后)用“细读”的方法,来确定答案。回答问题时,可在文章中划出关键词句,以此作为答题的依据。全部问题答完之后,如时间允许,可再快读一遍全文,核实一下所确定的答题的答案是否符合全文的精神。 1. 快读(Skimming) 快读的目的是用浏览全文的方法了解文章的大意和主题思想,并对文章的结构有个总的概念。顾名思义,快读时,速度要快。一般地说,250字左右的短文要求在二、三分钟内看完。快读时精力必须十分集中,不必去记忆细节;遇到个别生词及难懂的词句,均应略过,以求对全文总体意思的了解。为了更好地抓住全文的中心思想,在快读时要留心文章中某些反复出现的词语,这些往往与文章的主题有关。快读时,还应特别注意文章的开始段和结束段以及文章中每一段的段首句和结尾句,因为它们往往是对文章内容最好的概括。 2. 查读(Scanning) 查读的目的主要是为了寻找文章中某些特定的信息。在查读时,目光要自上而下、一目数行地寻视与答题内容相关的词句,与此无关的内容要很快掠过。当回答有关who, when, where等文章细节问题的时候,用此方法我们一般都可很快找到答案,可以说“一查即得”。但是有些与文章细节有关的问题如:why, how等难以找到现成的回答,这时首先需要通过查读,找到文中与答题内容相关的范围,然后再用下面要讨论的“细读”方法,方可得出准确的答案。 3. 细读(Reading for full understanding) 找到文章中的有关范围以后,即在此范围内逐句阅读,特别对关键词、句要仔细琢磨,以便对其有较深刻、较准确的理解和掌握。不仅要理解其字面意思而且要通过推理和判断,弄清文章中“字里行间”所隐含的意思。在细读中,对没有学过的生词,可根

2015年6月英语六级仔细阅读

2015-6-1仔细阅读 When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment, that person's influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in January, now finds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now. Throughout the 2008 financial crisis and the recession and recovery that followed, central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort, holding up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying. Yellen, previously a Fed vice chair, was one of the principal architects of the Fed's $3.8 trillion money dump. A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor markets, Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime(次级债)meltdown. Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery. The good news is that Yellen, 67, is particularly well suited to meet these challenges. She has a keen understanding of financial markets, an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else. Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation. But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-term unemployed, more people worry about the opposite, deflation(通货紧缩)that would aggravate the economy's problems. Either way, the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus. It must be steady enough to deflate bubbles(去泡沫)and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis. Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry's argument that it should be left alone to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance. Yellen is likely to address the issue right after she pushes unemployment below 6%, stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive and robust. As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says, "She's smart as a whip, deeply logical, willing to argue but also a good listener. She

2011年6月大学英语六级真题及答案 Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios: It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do? The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far. Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions. Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair. Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________. 48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________. 49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution. 50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________. 51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________. Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad.

Leadership is as much a question of timing asanything else.The leader must appear on the scene at a moment when people arelooking for leadership,as Churchill did in 1940,as Rooseveltdid in 1933,as Lenin in 1917.And when he comes,he must offer a simple,eloquent message.

Rural investment pays off in China By Jamil Anderlini in Silver Dragon Village, Guizhou Province, China ?Algirdas Bakas Rebuilding in Silver Dragon, one of the villages that has benefited from a Rmb 6tn programme to bring roads and power to millions The carefully staged political pageant that will play out next month in Beijing is not something that Jiang Wenhai, the 40-year old Communist party secretary of Silver Dragon village, spends a great deal of time thinking about. In this remote part of the southwest province of Guizhou, officially the poorest part of China, the locals like to say that “the mountains are tall and the emperor is far away”. But Mr Jiang is more politically correct than that. “The 18th [Communist party] Congress doesn’t have very much to do with Silver Dragon village; it’s not for us to ask who leads the nation,” Mr Jiang says. “But whoever is chosen I’m sure the Communist party will continue to improve the people’s lives.”

Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. , B. , C. and D.. Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Interactive television advertising, which allows viewers to use their remote controls to click on advertisements, has been pushed for years. Nearly a decade ago it was predicted that viewers of "Friends", a popular situation comedy, would soon be able to purchase a sweater like Jennifer Aniston's with a few taps on their remote control. "It's been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years," says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy. So the news that Cablevision, an American cable company, was rolling out interactive advertisements to all its customers on October 6th was greeted with some skepticism. During commercials, an overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, prompting viewers to press a button to request a free sample or order a catalogue. Cablevision hopes to allow customers to buy things with their remote controls early next year. Television advertising could do with a boost. Spending fell by 10% in the first half of the year. The popularization of digital video recorders has caused advertisers to worry that their commercials will be skipped. Some are turning to the Internet, which is cheaper and offers concrete measurements like click-through rates—especially important at a time when marketing budgets are tight.
