快速阅读要求考生在15分钟内完成一篇长度在1,000词以上的文章和后面的10道题目。该题答题时间非常紧迫,而题目难度又相对较大,在备考过程中,考生务必要有意识地训练自己的快速阅读及解题能力,以便有效地应对该部分的测试。

下面这篇六级考试真题中的快速阅读理解是一篇长度为1,098词的文章,主要介绍了太空旅行的相关内容。

编者研究发现,这篇快速阅读文章选编自国外网站(http://www.howstuffworks.com)上一篇主题为太空旅行的科技类文章,其长度为1,520词。其原文如下(文中划线部分为六级真题中快速阅读理解的正文内容,括号内标底纹的部分是命题者添加或改编的内容,蓝色字体为设题点):How Space Tourism Worksby Kevin Bonsor

Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from NASA, Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world's first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS. Greg Olsen, an American businessman, became tourist number three to the ISS on October 1, 2005.

On September 18, 2006, Anousheh Ansari, a telecommunications entrepreneur, became the first female space tourist and the fourth space tourist overall. She was also the first person of Iranian descent to make it into space.

(Lance Bass of 'N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approve of it.)

These trips are the beginning of what could be a lucrative 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.Photo courtesy Space Island GroupSpace hotels might be popular vacation spots in 20 years.

In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips to space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.

If you've ever dreamed of going to space and doing what only a few hundred people have done, then read on. In this article, you'll learn about the spacecraft being designed as destinations for space tourists, and how you may one day have a chance to cruise through the solar system.On Being a Space Tourist

Anousheh Ansari has invested in her interest in space before—she and another relative contributed to the $10 million X Prize, and she hopes that her experience on the ISS will help her to develop spacecraft that make space tourism more affordable. Ansari dislikes the term “space tourist”, because she and the first three explorers had to go through rigorous training to make the trip. “I think tourists are people who basically decide to go to some place and put a camera around their neck, and basically buy a ticket and go there. They don't prepare...I spent six months(training in Russia), and had to learn many different systems, and many new different technologies to take this journey, so I don't think tourism does justice to this event,” Ansari said. You can learn more about Ansari and read about her adventure on her Web site.Space AccommodationsPhoto courtesy NASAMir was to become a tourist attraction before it was deorbited in March 2001.

Russia's Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.

The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001. Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia's cosmonaut training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. Mir's demise rules out (The Mir crash has ruled out) NBC's space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.

Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take you to space:

• Bigelow Aerospace, formed by Budget Suites of America hotels owner Robert Bigelow, hopes to make “habitable space stations affordable for corporate communities”.

• Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure” that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks(to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles (644 km) above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth's.

• The X Prize is a national contest that offered $10 million to the first private company to develop a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) capable of carrying the general public into space. In October 2004, Scaled Composites, a California based company, won the prize with SpaceShipOne. See How SpaceShipOne Works to learn more.

• According to their vision statement, Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, both orbital and suborbital, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and aboard dozens of different vehicles...”

• Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and the possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.

Initially, space tourism will offer meager accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won't find the posh (luxurious) surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.Photo courtesy Space IslandThis space hotel could be one of many commercial ventures located within Space Island's space city.

In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every perk (convenience) they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space tourists and residents to walk around and function normally within the structure. Everything from running water to a recycling plant to medical facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.

Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots? In the next section, you'll find out if you'll be able to go to space even if you don't have a million dollars to spend on a vacation.Who Gets To Go? (The Most Expensive Vacation)

Will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of propellant to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload costs about $10,000 to put into Earth orbit.Photo courtesy NASAThe CEV could provide a new means for space travel.

NASA and Lockheed Martin worked on (are currently developing) a single- stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the VentureStar, that supposedly would've been launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. However, the program was canceled in late 2001 after a prototype suffered problems during testing as well as scheduling issues and cost overruns. Perhaps NASA's latest spacecraft project, the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, will replace the shuttle as a means to transport tourists to space. Check out How the Orion CEV Will Work to learn more. (If the VentureStar takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.)

In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that at a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still omitting many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.

If you don't want to wait for space hotels and cruise ships, Space Adventures offers passengers an array of options, such as:● Zero-gravity flight program● MiG-25 Edge of space program● MiG-21 High-G flight program● Spacewalk adventure program

Although most of these programs also include a two- or three-night stay in Moscow, prices start at close to $10,000 and go higher. Still too much money for your budget? Some, including Apollo 11 astronaut and ShareSpace Foundation chairman Buzz Aldrin, have proposed a space-trip lottery system to give everyone a chance to go.

Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn't that great—when do I get to go?” Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angeles.

下面我们将从如何删改原文和如何设题、解题这两个方面分析攻克六级快速阅读理解题的制胜之道。如何删改原文

从上文可以看出,原文是一篇科技类说明文,其中包括3个小标题,第一个和最后一个小标题下又分别包含若干项并列的小点,刚好符合六级快速阅读理解的选文要求,即提供指引信息(如小标题等)以保证考生可以在15分钟内读完一篇1,000词以上的文章并完成后面的10道题。为了使选文更加适合作六级快速阅读理解的考查文章,命题者对原文进行了如下删改:

1. 删除第二个小标题下的内容:原文中第二个小标题下主要介绍的是有关太空旅行者的内容,删除后不会影响到文章的连贯性和完整性,因此命题者为了缩减文章词数删除了该部分的内容。

2. 删除过于详细的细节信息:删除细节信息也是出于缩减词数的考虑,但所删除的细节信息都不会影响到文义的表达。命题者首先删除了第三、四位太空旅行者的信息;接下来删除了旨在引起读者兴趣的过渡段落;在列举对太空旅行感兴趣的各个组织时,有选择性地删除了读者不太熟悉的两点;最后还删除了有关太空旅行备选方案的内容。

3. 改写原文中过难的单词:demise、posh和perk这几个单词对于大多数考生来说都是生词,为了便于考生理解,命题者将上述单词分别换成了crash、luxurious和convenience。

4. 为切合主题而添加或改写部分内容:命题者删去了两位太空旅行者的信息,但却添加了没能登上太空的超级男孩组合一位成员的信息,使得文章内容更贴近考生;在提到VentureStar项目时,命题者并未采用原文所用的一般过去时(worked on),而是改用了现在进行时(are currently developing),而且命题者删掉了有关该项目被取消的信息,转而添加了该项目成功后可能促进太空旅行业的内容,虽然改变了原文内容,但却没有改变文义的完整性。如何设题和解题

从原文标蓝色字体部分的位置可以看出,设题点分布得较为平均,文章开头部分有三个设题点,每个小标题下又分别有三四个设题点。而命题者所选取的设题点基本上都是细节信息,大部分题目都可以根据题干中的信息词定位到原文相关细节,进而确定答案。具体题目如下:

1. Lance Bass wasn't able to go on a tour of space because of health problems.

解题:本题可根据原文内容直接确定答案。根据题干中的信息词Lance Bass定位到原文第三段的首句,可知超级男孩组合的成员兰斯·巴斯原本应该是第三个花费两千万美元进入太空旅行的人,但他由于没有付够钱而没能进入太空,并不是由于身体原因而没能进入太空旅行,可见题干所述原因与原文不符,故该表述错误。

2. Several tourism companies believe space travel is going to be a new profitable industry.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词tourism companies和industry定位到原文第四段的后两句,可知已经有几家航空旅行公司计划在未来二十年间建造亚轨道飞行器和轨道城市,这些公司已经投资了数百万美元,他们认为太空旅行业即将飞速发展,由此推断,他们认为太空旅行将成为回报丰厚的产业,故该表述正确。

3. The space agencies are reluctant to open up space to tourists.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词space agencies和open up space定位到原文第五段的最后,可知向旅行者开放太空的惟一障碍就是航天局,他们关心安全问题,以及开发可靠的和可再次利用的运载火箭的问题,由此推断,航天局不愿向旅行者开放太空,该表述符合原文。

4. Two Australian billionaires have been placed on the waiting list for entering space as private passengers.

解题:本题需要结合全文内容进行判断。原文提到,至今有一位美国商人和一位南非商人进行过太空旅行,但并未提到有两位澳大利亚的亿万富翁正等待着以私人乘客的身份进入太空。

5. The prize for the winner in the fall 2001 NBC TV game show would have been _______________.

解题:本题需要结合原文中多个细节信息方可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词fall、2001和NBC定位到第二个小标题下的第二段,可知美国国家广播公司(NBC)原本打算在2001年秋季推出一档新的游戏节目,其获胜者将赢得到米尔空间站旅行的机会,由此可知答案为a trip to the Mir Space Station。

6. Hilton Hotels believes it won't be long before it is possible to build a _______________.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词Hilton Hotels定位到第二个小标题下第三段下的最后一点,可知希尔顿酒店对太空旅行业以及建造或合资建造太空酒店的可能性表现出兴趣,该公司表示,他们觉得这样的太空酒店将在15到20年后建成,由此推断,希尔顿酒店觉得在不久的将来有可能建成太空酒店,故答案为space hotel。

7. In order for space tourists to walk around and function normally, it is necessary for the space city to create a _______________.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词walk around and function normally和space city定位到第二个小标题下倒数第二段的第二句,可知旋转的太空城所制造的微小引力,将使得太空游客和居民可以在太空城内正常行走和生活,由此推断,太空游客正常行走和生活的前提是太空城制造出微小的引力,故可得答案small gravitational pull。

8. What makes going to space the most expensive vacation is the enormous cost involved in _______________.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。根据题干中的信息词the most expensive vacation定位到第三个小标题,再由going to space和cost定位到该小标题下的第一段,可知现在进入太空的费用高达数千万美元,只有航天飞机和俄国的Soyuz火箭能带人进入太空,而两者都需要数百万磅的燃料才能起飞进入太空,这使得发射变得非常昂贵,由此推断,太空旅行费用高昂是由太空飞船所需燃料的高额费用造成的,故可得答案the fuel of spacecraft。

9. Each year 500,000 space tourists could be flying into space if ticket prices could be lowered to _______________.

解题:本题可根据原文内容直接确定答案。根据题干中的信息词500,000和ticket prices定位到第三个小标题下倒数第四段的倒数第二句,可知如果票价是五万美元,每年就将有50万乘客飞入太空,由此可得答案$50,000。

10. Within the next two decades, _______________ could be as common as intercity air travel.

解题:本题需要对原文内容进行推理判断才可确定答案。题干中的within the next two decades相当于within the next 20 years,由此可定位到原文最后一句,可知在未来20年间,航空飞机飞往月球的频率将与纽约和洛杉矶之间的飞机飞行频率相当,由此推断,到那时太空旅行就像城市间乘坐飞机旅行一样常见,故可得答案space travel。解题技巧汇总一、攻克词汇关

词汇是阅读的基石。在快速阅读中,词汇量的重要性进一步凸现。很难想像如果没有词汇量的支持,如何能在这么短的时间里完成阅读任务。所以考生平时应该注意积累词汇,只有在每个单词上停留的时间少了,才能有更多的时间来把握整个句子乃至整个文段。二、攻克思想关

在准备六级的过程中,考生必须达到的状态是——做题时注意力能高度集中。看文章时要撇开私心杂念,做到心无旁骛,也就是说,要把自己的思想融入正在看的文章中。集中注意力不是说出来的,而是练出来的,考生一定要在平时做阅读练习时严格要求自己。一篇文章要一口气看完,不要断断续续,更不要养成边看边默念的习惯。三、攻克阅读技巧关

阅读的技巧包括跳读、略读等很多方面。最简单的做法就是,试着连句或者一目几行。读文章时注意不要逐字看,或是一句句地看,要把两个或三个句子连起来,一气呵成把它们看完。培养这种能力的关键,就是要拓宽自己阅读时的视幅,这要下很大的苦功,但是只要持之以恒,就会取得效果。四、攻克阅读量关

进行大量的阅读练习也是很重要的。从根本上讲,阅读速度的提高是个日积月累的过程。只有通过大量阅读英文材料,阅读速度乃至阅读能力才会有质的飞跃。建议考生连续半年保持每天8~10篇英文散文或议论文的阅读量,只要能坚持下来,阅读速度自然会有飞跃。第二节 篇章问答

篇章问答题又称简答题,主要考查考生能否在读懂原文的基础上以书面形式表达对原文中各种信息的理解和接受能力;能否按照题目要求运用语法知识和相关的写作手段把文中的答案信息处理成简短而准确的语言。

简答题的短文难度和长度与阅读理解文章相似,篇幅为370词左右(最新六级样题中的短文长度为415个词)。短文后附有5道题目,题干形式为问题或不完整的句子,要求考生在阅读完短文后用简短英文(可以是句子,也可以是单词或短语)回答所提出的问题或补充不完整的句子。每题1分,共5分,考试时间为10分钟左右。

简答题既考查考生对篇章的理解能力,又考查考生的书面表达能力,因此评分标准兼顾内容和语言两个方面。每题满分1分,最低为0分。具体评分标准如下:1. 回答不全面扣分。2. 内容自相矛盾之处不得分。3. 照搬原文扣分,照抄一句扣0.5分,照抄两句及两句以上不得分。4. 答非所问扣分。5. 回答里有语法错误扣分。应试锦囊一、细节题

细节题的提问方式灵活多变,问题涉及短文的各种具体细节,如时间、地点、原因、结果、方式等。这类题目的一个共同特点是:答案一般都能在文章中直接找到。但有时出题人为了增加题目的难度,会有意避开文中所用词汇,而使用该词的同义词,即同义转述。在这种情况下,考生需要依据题干涉及的细节,定位文中相关出处,然后作答。我们以最新六级样题为例加以说明:

原文:The American Dream for the well-to-do grows from the bowed backs of the working poor, who too often have to choose 最新样题between groceries and rent.()

题目:What is the American Dream for the well-to-do built upon?答案为The backbreaking labor of the working poor./The bowed backs of

分析:the working poor. 用题干中的well-to-do定位到原文发现,题干中的built upon与原文中grow from同义,由此可以在文中直接找到答案。原文提到,“美国梦”这一概念来源于工人阶级,他们的生活非常拮据。注意题目为What...built upon?也就是说本题的答案应该是upon之后的内容,即名词或名词性短语、从句。如果题目用why提问,一般用because或because of 回答;用how提问,则多用“by+短语”回答。二、推断题

推断题要求考生根据从文中获得的信息进行推理判断。它要求考生不但要掌握文章所表达的字面含义,还要掌握一定的逻辑推理能力,从文章表面推出更深层的含义。这类题的答案一般不会直接出现在文章中。文字表面往往没有明显反映作者的全部意图,考生需要从字里行间去体会,靠自己的逻辑推理能力去判断,从上下文的连贯及文中相关部分的暗示去分析作者隐含的意思。推断题常见的类型主要有对原因、结果、观点、立场等的判断。需要特别指出的是,做这类题时必须把握问题的关键,紧紧围绕原文,千万不能脱离原文,凭主观臆断进行无依据的推论。以最新六级样题为例:

原文:And before we sit back and decide that's just the way it is, it's instructive to consider the rest of the world. While the bottom 10 percent of American workers earn just 37 percent of our average wage, their counterparts in other industrialized countries earn upwards 最新样题of 60 percent. ()

题目:We learn from the passage that the difference in pay between the lowest paid and the average worker in America is ______ than that in other industrialized countries.答案为greater。文章提到,10%的美国底层工人只能挣到平均工资的

分析:37%,而其他工业国家的底层工人却能挣到平均工资的60%,由此可推测出,美国最低工资与平均工资之间的差距要比其他国家的大,由此得出答案。在写答案时,考生还要注意简答题的答案要做到简洁、准确、概括性强,比如本题只回答greater就行了,不用再加much或其他修饰语。三、主旨题

主旨题主要测试考生对整篇文章的理解能力。解答主旨题最有效的办法是找到并仔细研读文章的主题句。主题句大多数情况下出现在比较重要的位置,如文章的开头或结尾。如果一篇文章包括多个段落,一般来说每个自然段的首句就是段落主题句。文章主题句之外的其他内容一般都是对主题句加以解释、补充说明或列举事实等。另外,有些阅读材料的主题思想不是十分明确,需要考生通读全文,抓住主要论点或论题来归纳出中心思想。应该注意的是,在归纳中心思想时,要从文章实际内容出发,在事实依据的基础上进行判断、推论和归纳。根据提问内容的不同,主旨题还可细分为主题型、标题型和目的型。主题型一目了然,就是找中心思想(main idea);标题型是为文章选择标题(title);目的型就是推断作者的写作意图(purpose)。

原文:①Joe Templer should have known better: ...But moments later as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

②In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States—one every 20 seconds...

③Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.

④Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of thefts...

⑤Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in-depth auto-investigations...

⑥One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full-time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto-theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.

⑦How can you protect your car?...

题目:What is the passage mainly about?答案为Vehicle theft and security system in U.S.。文章共7段,按照主题

分析:句出现的规律,我们把各段的首句或末句进行保留。第一段作者以Joe Templer的经历说明在美国偷盗机车的情况很猖獗;第二和第三段接着通过数据说明美国的机车盗窃案发生率非常高;第四、五、六段讲述的是美国警方对盗窃采取的措施;最后一段提到车主应该如何防盗。综合这几段内容不难看出文章主要是围绕机车盗窃以及相关的安全措施展开话题的,故可得答案。考生要注意在回答主旨题时一定要全面,比如本题,如果考生只答出了vehicle theft in U.S.或是security system in U.S.都不算全对,因为前者是针对文章的前三段,后者是针对文章的后四段,只有二者结合才是文章的真正主旨。另外还要考虑简单题的答案不能冗长,尽可能用词或短语代替句子。如果非要用句子,那就多用简单句、少用复合句。四、语义题

语义题通常是对一个生词或短语(句)进行提问,一般需要考生知道或根据上下文推断出该生词或短语(句)的近义词、引申意义或另一种表述方式。一般而言,语义题出现在以下几种情况中:含有指示代词的句子中,常有被考查的词汇或短语;具体环境中,具有指代上下文语义功能的词汇,尤其是名词,常成为考查对象;一词多义的常见词及词组易考,要求考生能通过阅读,理解其在文中的确切含义;对比处常考,这类题旨在考查考生能否从具有对比含义的上下文中猜测出某个单词的含义。无论哪种情况,只要考生能正确理解文章含义以及上下文的关联,一般都能在文中找到解题的相关提示。以最新六级样题为例:

原文:America is a country that now sits atop the cherished myth that work provides rewards, that working people can support their families. It's a myth that has become so divorced from reality that it 最新样题might as well begin with the words “Once upon a time”. ()

题目:By saying “it might as well begin with the words ‘Once upon a time'” (Line 3-4, Para. 1), the author suggests that the American myth is ______.答案为divorced from reality/unrealistic。原文提到,现在对于美国人来说,

分析:努力工作就能获得回报的想法已经和实际脱离了,因此人们提到这个说法时经常加上“很久以前”这样的词。考生在回答此题时可以用原文中的divorced from reality,也可以直接用unrealistic一词。在做此类填空题时,一定要注意所填词在语法规则上是否符合原题,千万不要因为这一点疏漏使得答案错误。应该注意的语法规则有主谓是否一致,
