1. Overview of reading questions
Fill in the blanks < True or False < Matching < Choose [difficulty]
2. Topic on filling in the blanks [Form fill in the blanks; Notes fill in the blanks]
Test site:
1. Parallel structure
And = both = also = as well = in addition = for example
2. A of B = BA
After the attributive, play a modifying role
3. Prepositional structure
T + prep + P + prep + B + M
4. Verb/adjective substitution
Looking for a replacement, if you can find the same verb as the title, you need to be careful if it is a trap T15.1.1
Question steps:
1. Read the questions
Read the topic requirements
2. Predict part of speech
3. Positioning
Scope positioning, which paragraph it comes from; precise positioning, which sentence it comes from.
3. Topic 2 of filling in the blanks [fill in the blanks with sentences; short answer questions]
Topic Features
Scattered and needs to be relocated
chapters appear
P1, P2, P3 may all appear
test center
- Parallel information
- Logic: Intra-sentence logic >> positive but negative but, replacement, overall sentence structure
- Question stem limit
- Long and difficult sentences: There are many modifiers, attributive (clause), adverb (adverbial clause), (insert sentence)
How to read long and difficult sentences: undress first, find the main body >> put on clothes (what modifies the subject, what modifies the predicate, etc.)
Don't be confused by some modifying ingredients
Steps to do the questions: read while floating
Tip: Too many parallel words must not be the answer
Floating reading: You don’t need to fully understand the meaning, you probably get what you’re doing
4. Topic 3 for filling in the blanks [Flowchart filling in the blanks; Graphical filling in the blanks]
Topic Features
Simple, a long paragraph, there may be a small disorder in the question.
Question-making skills
- Eclectic to locate (sequence questions) probably know which paragraph the answer is in
- Verb substitution (generally without a subject)
- There are some prepositions that do not change [articles, etc.]
- singular and plural
- Parallel structure A of B = BA
- time test
- Comparative relationship test points, causal relationship
- verb
- adjective
- Place
5. Fill in the Blank Questions: Summarize the Fill in the Blank Questions
Principle: order (small disorder)
When is it out of sequence? (experiment/study, multiple conclusions; juxtaposed details;)
Study Points: Understanding Sentences
Question steps without options
1. Eclectic and rough positioning >> find positioning words for each paragraph of the topic >> return to the article >> find the corresponding paragraph >> maybe one-to-many >> test points one by one.
2. You can choose to read or not to read the sentence without a question according to whether there is a prompt in the next sentence. If there is a prompt in the next sentence, you can skip the sentence without a question.
3. If you don't find the answer after reading for a long time, then read the next question. Then position according to the next question.
4. With the help of prepositional structure, music and instrument
Question-making steps with options
There are two more steps to span :
1. Repositioning [Large long words and key meanings, key meanings can be seen in the juxtaposition of verbs]
2. Choose synonyms
6. Topic on True or False Questions [TFNG; YNNG]
30%, generally appear in P2/P3
Question stem composition = factual information + test words [unique] + positioning words; basically do not cross paragraphs, which paragraph the positioning words are in is the answer.
Test site:
- time test
- Comparative relationship test points, causal relationship
- verb
- adjective
- Place
Question steps:
- First reading questions, sequential question types, positioning/test points [see one and do one]
- locate words found
- Ask questions and make judgments based on original information
7. Matching Questions Topic 1: Matching Characters and Viewpoints
The questions do not appear in order, but the options are in order; however, the characters corresponding to the options will appear multiple times.
step
- That is, first look at the order of the names, and then go back to the position where the name was found in the article
- find a character's point of view
Viewpoints of general characters appearing in object clauses, quotations, and quotation marks in colons
3. Contrast, point of view and question stem comparison.
8. Matching topic 2: Sentence ending matching
The topics are sequential, sometimes very scattered, sometimes very dense, difficult to locate
step
- Read topic by topic, draw keywords
- Read the article and find the positioning words
- understand positional sentences
way of synonymous substitution
- word and word substitution
- abstract to concrete replacement
- Substitution of linguistic meaning
9. Matching Questions Topic 3: Information Matching
Unordered questions, very scattered
Read through mentality, have patience to read
This is what a certain sentence or a few sentences in the corresponding paragraph say; you have to ask and answer yourself, and ask yourself.
More than or equal to five questions : read the article first, and then read a paragraph to see if there is a corresponding question [All the information in the question stem is explained in the original text]
Less than 5 questions : Find positioning words
10. Matching questions Topic 4: Title matching
Style:
Popular Science >> First 2 and last 1, read the first two sentences and the last sentence; but also read through
Argumentative papers>> You can’t find them through topic sentences, you must have an understanding of the information in the entire paragraph [Through reading method]
Skill:
- Often paragraph A is difficult, and the title is generally very abstract, so do other paragraphs first;
- Every word in the title must be explained in the original text! If you can't explain it, you've chosen the wrong one.
11. Multiple Choice Topic 1: Multiple Choice Questions
Examine the understanding of parallel information
Scattered type: Other questions Done, rely on memory to choose, if only one is done, the other one will not be done first.
Intensive type: parallel reading, if two multiple choices are made at once, do it first
12. Multiple Choice Topic 2: Multiple Choice Questions
The hardest part is haha, I still have to learn, because I am not very lucky.
[Detailed question] 1/3 parallel reading
[Reasoning questions] 1/3 requires reasoning, the reasoning chain should not be too long, and should be shortened appropriately, for example, 1 >> 2 >> 3, 1 may not necessarily lead to 3.
[Functional type] 1/3 will be dealt with after other topics are done
13. Parallel reading method [very important! perfectly worked! 】
Applicable to the second essay, when the title matching question or the information matching question appears.
Operating purpose:
- Cut to the topic, according to the topic, divide the article into pieces, and tell yourself, which topic you need to read.
- Start to read paragraph by paragraph, if there are detailed questions, do the detailed questions first and then do the information matching questions
After practicing one article, you must read it intensively! Positioning words learn to memorize
For wrong questions, review, interpret, and sort them out
