点评 做广告类阅读的五大技巧
1.先题后文法:"先题后文"指的就是先读试题,了解试题的考查点,再根据试题的要求快速阅读短文.
2.题干定向法:如果题干的问题与原文中的相应句段基本相同,则可直接对号入座;如果题干的问题与原文中的相应句段有较大出入,则要进行一定的处理,这个"处理"是多方面的,它可能包括对原文进行同义变换、对概念进行解析、对事实进行归纳、将具体问题抽象化或将抽象问题具体化、将文中提到的原则或规则进行实际运用等等.
3.错误排除法:一般说来,对于那些与文意明显不符或与文章内容不相关的选项比较容易排除,但有些选项与文章内容相符,却与题干问题不吻合,即属答非所问的情形,也应作为错误项予以排除,尤其是那些从文章中摘录的句子,要特别小心,它们很有可能是干扰项.除了验证其是否能回答所提问题外,还要看它是否回答了问题的主要方面,也就是说看它是不是最佳答案,如果它只能回答所提问题的一个侧面或还有比它更合适的选项,都要毫不犹豫地将其排除.
4.信息补全法:前面讲到,广告类阅读材料的一大特点就是缩略词和省略句多.考生在做题时,要注意根据文章的上下文语境将省略句补充完整,以便于正确地理解和答题.
