职称英语考试各种题型解题技巧

职称英语考试各种题型解题技巧

一.字典的使用技巧

针对职称英语考试中的第一部分词汇题，我建议大家带一本同义

词词典（双解词典），这类词典的特点是用儿个同义词注解某一英文

单词，大家可以非常方便地在注解中找到答案。

有了字典，又该如何查呢？我经常听到有学员在答疑室中说：某

某单词在字典里查不到，其实不是字典里没有，而是他们不会查，最

常见到的情况有两种：

第一种：分不清单词词性；如：

1.Beforeleavingthehouse,sheclosedthewindows.

2.Sheisclosetosuccess.

两句话里都有close,但是词性不同，第一句话里的是动词，因为有

形式上的变化Jed）；而第二句话里的close跟在is的后面，而且形

式上没有变化，因此判断为形容词。当寻找他们的同义词时，应针对

不同的词性加以判断。这一点对于大家来说非常重要！

第二中：分不清划线单词是原形，现在分词或过去式：

如：Hersisterurgedhertoapplyforthejob.（P602）

advisedB.causedC.forcedD.promised

如果去字典里查urged,当然是查不到的。

Ticketsarelimitedandwillbeallocatedtothosewhoapplyfirst.(P461)

postedB.SentC.handedD.Given

接下来，我们一起练儿题，大家可以八仙过海各显神通，看谁做得又

快又好！

1.Practicallyallanimalscommunicatethroughsounds.

A.ClearlyB.AlmostC.AbsolutelyD.Basically

2.Thestorywasverytouching.

A.InspiringB.BoringC.MovingD.absorbing

Youshouldhaveblendedthebutterwiththesugarthoroughly.

A.SpreadB.MixedC.BeatenD.covered

4.1won/ttoleratethatkindofbehaviour.

众所周知，阅读理解题的成败关乎到考试能否及格，所以一定要

掌握好的解题方法，在大家词汇量都不是很多的情况下，方法就显得

极其重要！

A.Thenightskyislightcoloredandstarsareblack.

B.Lightsappearatnightandstarsareseeninthedark.

C.Citieslightsillunfinatethenightskyandmakestarsinvisible.

DCitylightsatnightilluminatestarsinthesky.

先理解标题，推测文章内容：LightNight,DarkStars0没有生词,

明亮的夜晚，昏暗的星空。只是看题目，还不易推测出文章的主要内

容，因此，要快速浏览全文，看能否找到出现频率较高的词或短语，

它们有可能就是文章的核心！大家看到了我用黑线标出了出现频率最

多的短语：lightpollution.所以可以推测文章的内容和光污染有关。

接下来判断所给5题的题型，我们发现1至4都是细节题，因此

只需要找到关键词逐一回答即可。而第5题是主旨题，而且是最后一

题，所以要等文章读完后最后做。

1.Whencanpeoplesee14000stars?

AWhentheyhaveafairlygoodtelescope当他们有一个非常不错的望

远镜.

BWhentheyareinalargecity当他们在大城市时.

CWhenthenightskvisclearofclouds,moonlightandartificiallights

当夜空中没有云、月光和人造灯光时.

DWhenthenightskyiswithouthazeandfog当夜空没有阴霾和大雾

时.

分析：关键词很容易找14000stars,在第一段出现了该词：

Thousandsofpeople（数以千计的人）aroundtheglobe（世界上）

stepoutside（走出去）togazeat（凝视）theirnightsky.Onaclear

（晴朗的）night,withnoclouds,moonlight,orartificial（人造的）

lightstoblock（遮挡、挡住）theview,peoplecanseemorethan14,000

starsintheskv（答案C）,saysDennisWard,anastronomer（天文学家）

withtheUniversityCorporationforAtmosphericResearch（UCAR）in

Boulder,Colo.Butwhenpeoplearesurrounded（被。。。包围）bycity

lights,hesays,they/reluckytosee150stars.

补充：请注意短语：beclearofsth:无阻碍、障碍、危险

如：Waituntiltheroadisclearoftrafficbeforecrossing.（等到路上没车

时再过马路。）

2.Whichofthefollowingstatements（叙述）isrelatedt。（同。。。有

关）lightpollution?

AAhazeoflightisformedfromartificiallightssuchasstreetlightsand

buildinglights（阴霾的光是由人造光而形成的，如路灯和建筑物的光）.

BLightsfromdifferentsourcesinthecitystreamintospaceand

illuminatethenightsky来自于不同来源的光进入太空并照亮了夜空.

CThenightskyisilluminatedbythelightsfrombigglowingcitiesinthe

night夜空由晚上大城市发出的光照亮.

DStargazing（star+gazing观望星星）becomesdifficultbecausethere

isalayerofhazeintheair由于空气中有一层霾，所以观望星星变得困

难.

分析：本题的关键词是lightpollution,而且按照题目的题号应该在文

章的前面，所以从第二段找找看：

Ifyou'veeverdriventowardabigcityatnightandseenitsglowfroma

（答案）（见证、目睹）

greatdistanceCLyou'vewitnessedlight

pollution.Itoccurswhenlightfromstreetlights,officebuildings,signs,

andothersourcesstreamsintospaceandilluminatesthenightsky（答案

A,B表述）.Thishazeoflightmakesmanystarsinvisibletopeopleon

Earth.Evenatnight,bigcitieslikeNewYorkglowfromlightpollution,

makingstargazingdifficult（请注意这句话并不是答案D,他们不同，

该句是说：甚至在晚上，许多像纽约这样的大城市所产生的灯光使观

望星星变得困难。）所以，D的表述同光污染没有关联。

3.Doesthewriterthinkgrowingcitiesaffectastronomers/work?Why

doeshethinkso?

AYes.Becausetheoncedarkruralareasarepollutedbylights因为曾

经黑暗的乡村地区被光污染了.

BNo.BecausetheyCallstillseestarsinruralareas.

C.Yes.Becauseruralareasarenotagoodplaceforastronomerstostudy

stars因为乡村地区不是一个好的研究星星的地方。

D.No.Becausefaintlightgivenoffbystarscallstillbeseenonaclear

night

分析：题目是说：不断扩大的城市会影响天文学家的工作吗？为什么

他会这样认为？

在A答案中我们可以看到线索词：polluted和lights.所以，根据阅读

的规律，只要和线索词有关的答案，多半就是最终答案。如果大家想

检查答案是否正确的话，也可以带着关键词astronomers去找答案：

Hazyskiesalsomakeitfarmoredifficultforastronomerstodotheir

jobs.

通过对句子的分析，排除答案B,D.留下A,C.在接下来的段落中可

以对答案加以判断：

Citiesaregettinglarger.Suburbs（郊区）aregrowinginoncedark,rural

areas.Lightfromallthisnewdevelopmentisincreasingly

obscuring（使。。。变得模糊）thefaint（微弱的）lightgivenoffbydistant

stars.Andifscientistscan'tlocate（确定。。。的位置）theseobjects,

theycan'tlearnmoreaboutthem.

总结：做阅读理解时大家需要牢牢抓住文章的中心或核心词，只要被

选项中有核心内容的出现就可以推测为正确答案！

4.Howdoeslightpollutionaffectwildlife?WhichofthefollowingisNOT

correct?

A.Animalsmaygooffcourseduetotheattractionofartificiallights

由于受到人造光的吸引，动物们可能偏离航向.

B.Animalsmightbeattractedbvartificiallightstogointocities.

动物们可能会受到人造光的吸引而进入城市

C.Artificiallightsatnightmaymakemigratingbirdslosetheirway.

夜间的人造光可能会使迁徙的鸟类们迷路

DAttractedbyartificiallights,birdsflyintolightedbuildings.

由于受到人造光的吸引，鸟类飞进有光的建筑物里。

分析：题目是说：光污染是如何影响野生动物？下列哪个说法不正

确？

关键词就是wildlife,在最后一段里，可以找到内容：

Lightpollutiondoesn/tonlyaffectstarvisibility.Itcanharmwildlife

too.It/sclearthatartificiallightcallattractanimals,makingthemgooff

course”（答案A）.There/sincreasingevidence.Forexample,that

migratingbirdsusesunsetsandsunrisest。helpfindtheirwav,says

SydneyGauthreausJr.,ascientistatClemsonUniversityinSouth

Carolina."Whenlightoccursatnight,“hesays,“ithasaverydisruptive

（破坏性的）influence（答案C）."Sometimesbirdsflyintolighted

towers（答案D）,highrises,andcablesfromradioandtelevision

towers.Expertsestimatethatmillionsofbirdsdiethiswayeveryyear.

所以，答案B并未提到。

5.Whichofthefollowingisclosest（最接近的）inmeaning（意思）tothe

title"LightNight,DarkStars"?

A.Thenightskyislightcoloredandstarsareblack夜空是浅色的而星星

是黑色的.

B.Lightsappearatnightandstarsareseeninthedark

光显现在夜晚而在黑暗中人们看见星星.

C.CitieslightsiHunfinatethenightskvandmakestarsinvisible

城市的灯光照亮了夜空而使得星星已经无法看见.

DCitylightsatnightilluminatestarsinthesky.

夜晚的城市的灯光照亮了天空中的星星。

分析：本题是唯一的一道主旨题，所以需要纵观全文。通过我们对前

4题的解答，完全可以判断出文章的主题就是说：由于不断扩大的城

市，越来越多的城市灯光，已经成为一种污染，使得天空中的星星黯

然失色，所以答案就是C。

解题目：Declining衰退的Interest兴趣inDeveloping发展、开

发ForeignLanguage外语Skills技能，所以串在一起可以将之理

解成：逐渐丧失提高外语技能的兴趣。通过理解题目，我们可以推测

一下，在文章中foreignlanguages和declininginterest应是核心词。

接下来，来看5道题的题目，对出题方式加以判断：1,3,4都是细

节题，而2题是推断题；5题是词语释义题。针对不同出题方式的题

目要以不同的方法加以应对。

1.Howmuchpercent百分数ofhighschoolgraduates(高中毕业生)

wereproficient（精通的）inforeignlanguagesfortyyearsago（40

年前）？

A）70.B）13.C）40.D）6.5.

分析：这是细节题，关键词：highschoolgraduates,fortyyearsagoo

位于第一题的位置，所以答案应该来源于第一段：

Australia'sforeignlanguageskillsaredeclining,VoiceofAmericahas

reported.Newfigures（数字）showthatonly13percentofhigh

schoolgraduatescanspeakaforeignlanguage.Butfour

decades（一个decade是10年）ago（40年前）,40percenthadforeign

languageskills（答案的出处）.

2.Whatcanbeinferred（推测出）fromparagraph2?

A）Australiahasrichdepositsofminerals.（澳大利亚有丰富的矿

藏）

B）Australiaisessentiallyaself-sufficientcountry.

C）AustraliahasnointentiontotradewithAsiancountries.

D）Australianstudentsarenotrequiredtolearnaforeignlanguage.

分析：题目中有infer,所以该题是推断题。因此，需要读第二段，

寻找核心内容，主要是要找到关键句：

ProfessorEliseTipton,fromtheUniversityofSydney,saysincreasingly

studentsdonotfeeltheneedtolearnanotherlanguagetoboosttheir

career.ShebelievesthatAustralia'seconomicboom（经济的繁荣），

whichisdriven（受至U驱动）byred-hot（非常有活力的）demand（要

求）foritsminerals矿物（核心词物ishelpingmask掩盖serious

deficiencies不足initslanguageskills.

注意：一般发现A、B、C、D四个选项中，哪个选项出现中心词，一

般该选项就是正确答案。

3.WhatdoesDilipDuttathinklanguageskillscando?

A.Improveyourrelationwithyourpartner.

B.Helpsettleinternationalconflicts.

C.Removebarriersinnegotiations.

D.Increasetradingopportunities.

分析：这是一道标准的细节题，中心词就是：DilipDuttao带着它，

我们可以在第三段里搜索到相关的语句：

DilipDutta,fromtheeconomiceandbusinessfacultyatSydney

University,sayslanguageskillscanenhancetradingopportunities（答案D

出处！）.IFAustralianswanttotradewithAsiancountries,itisvery

importantforthemtolearnthelanguagethatwillhelpthemtoget

closertotheculture.

4.WhyhastheAustraliangovernment（澳大利亚政府）beenkeenly

（强烈地）interestedinstrengthening（加强）ties（联系）withAsia

（亚洲）？

A）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliaislocated.

B）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustralia'smajorexportsgo.

C）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliansgoandspendtheirholidays.

C）BecauseAsiaiswhereAustraliacanplayabigroleininternational

affairs.

分析：从题目的类型来说，一定是细节题，找到核心词：Australian

government,keenlyinterestedin,tieswithAsia。我们会发现核心词

没有出现在第四段中，而在最后一段中出现了：

Atpresent,about70percentofAustralia'smajorexports（主要的出口货

物）gotoAsiaand（该词相当于so,因果关系连词）theAustralian

governmenthasbeenkeenondevelopingcloser（亲密的）economic

（经济的）anddiplomatic（夕卜交的）tieswithAsia（答案出处）.

Academicssaythat,asAsiabecomesoneoftheworld'seconomic

powerhouses（支柱）,Australianeedstoimproveitslanguageskillsifitis

totakefulladvantageofthebusinessopportunitiesonitsdoorstep.

5.Theword"faculty"inparagraph3canbereplacedby.

A）college学院.B）institute学会、研究所

C）university大学.D）department系.

分析：这是一道词语释义题。大家可以查字典•，也可以根据单词出现

的前后文来判断:DilipDutta,fromtheeconomics（经济学）and

（贸易）因为后面有

businessfacultyatSydneyUniversity,oo0...university,

因此自然想到是大学里的“系二

D）Itisnoteasytocalculatethekillingpowerofavolcaniceruption.

解标题：OlderVolcanic（火山的）Eruptions（喷发）

本文讲的是远古火山喷发，所以oldervolcaniceruptions应是核心词。

1.Whydidoldervolcaniceruptionsdomoredamagethanmorerecent

ones?（为什么远古火山喷发比近期喷发损害更大？）

A.Becausetheykilledofflifemoreeasily.

B.Becausetheywerebrighter.

C.Becausetheywerelarger.

D.Becausetheywerehotter.

分析：细节题。第一题，一般在开头段落寻找答案。

Volcanoesweremoredestructive（更具有破坏性的）inancienthistory

（在古代的劳历史中），notbecause（不是因为）theywerebigger,but

because（而是因为）thecarbondioxide（二氧化碳）theyreleased（他

们所释放的，定语修饰前面的thecarbondioxide）wipedout擦去、

抹去life生命greaterease（更容易）.

句子是说：古代的火山更具杀伤力，不是因为它们更大，而是因为它

们释放出来的二氧化碳更容易把人杀死。所以答案A表述的内容同本

段相符。

2.How（如何，询问方式）didWignallcalculate（计算）thekillingpower

（杀伤力）ofthoseoldervolcaniceruptions?

A.Byestimatinghowlongtheylasted.通过估计他们持续多长时间。

B.Bycountingthedinosaurstheykilled.通过数死去的恐龙的的数量

C.Bystudyingthechemicalcompositionoflava.通过研究熔岩的化学构

成。

D.Bycomparingtheproportionoflifewipedoutwiththevolumeoflava

produced.通过比较火山释放出的熔岩的体积与杀死生命的比例。

分析：毫无疑问这是细节题，核心词就是人名：WignalL

A）300millionyearsago.

B）250millionyearsago.

C）60millionyearsago.

分析：这是标准的细节题，核心词：dinosaursbecomeextincto而且

这题的特点就是数字，所以在接下来的段落中大家要用笔标出所见到
