aeas 阅读选择题技巧-关键词定位

对于篇幅较长的aeas阅读，为了节省阅读时间，考生在做提前需要把题目中的关键词找出。定位的关键词包括人名、地名、大写字母、数字、时间等。但是在真正的考试中，并不是每道题干都包括这些明显的关键词，这里我们建议考生将名词作为首选的定位词，因为名词形式稳定变化少并且具备实际意义，可以帮助考生在文章中定位。

另外，在选择名词作为关键词的时候，定位的名词不能是文章的主题词，因为主题词会在原文高频率的出现。考生用主题词去定位的话，定位会不准确。定位词最大的优势就在于针对每一道题缩小阅读的范围，节省阅读的时间。如果考生定位了一个在文章中处处可见的单词或词组，就失去了定位的意义。

阅读题之主旨题：

做主旨题，考生一般需要注意收尾段及每段的第一句话。此题出错往往是由于所选选项出现以偏概全或过分宽泛的问题，若选项仅为一段话的具体概括，则不能作为主旨题的正确选项。

The private automobile(私家车) has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected(影响) in various ways. The car helps to keep them to travel to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences.However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs — or is “showing off” by speeding or breaking other traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD(Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.

  • “快读”短文：可知本文主要介绍美国的私家车情况及私家车对美国人的影响。
  • “跳读”短文：
  • 根据文章第2段的内容可知，汽车是使 farm families transport their children to distant(=faraway) schools。故第1小题选D。
  • “细读”短文：文章说，为了解决 the problem of drunk driving，有关人士成立了不同的组织，如母亲们成立了 MADD，学生们成立了 SADD，等等。故第2题选B。再根据文章第B1段说美国在1986年就有69%的家庭至少拥有1辆汽车，38%的家庭拥有1辆以上的汽车，而文章最后一段又说 For many Americans the automobile is a necessity。由此可知第3题选D最佳
