快速略读全文，可以发现此题主要是考查最后两个段落。选项A表示“人们再也不喜欢城堡了”，选项中的not…any more表示―不再……‖；选项B表示正在修建更多新城堡，而在原文的第五段的首句（红色划线部分）指出―尽管城堡衰落了，但是还是有很多18，19世纪富裕的家庭通过把他们新修建的房屋叫做城堡来填补他们的情感‖，所以可以判定还是有很多人依然喜欢城堡，并且新修建的是房屋，不是城堡，所以选项A和B和原文不相符；选项C表示―城堡是英国最著名的建筑物‖，这个在原文中没有提及；选项D表示―城堡在世界上仍然有着他们的地位和名誉”，而在原文的最后一段的首句就指出“英国的城堡已经牢牢地建立了国家和国际上的精神状态”，所以正确答案为D选项。
做正误判断题要注意，命题者为了制造干扰，往往在错误选项中使用一些表示绝对含义的词汇，把命题推到极端，使其变成荒谬逻辑，比如选项A中的 ―not…any more‖，C 选项中形容词最高级的使用，其余还有―never, every, by no means, only, none, always …‖等，因此，考生在解这类题时，尤其要注意选项中的这些限定词，并且此种选项往往是命题者设下的“陷阱”，一般应该排除。
3. 主旨题、词义题与观点态度题 例6（见例2所选文章）
2. The word ―saturated‖ (Paragraph 3) most probably means ______. A. state B. utilize C. despise D. fill
【题解】此题为词义题。根据解词义题的基本方法，首先就是要查找该词所在的句子以及其前后一两句话。浏览原文，可以找到该词在原文第三段的第二句。该句表明“既然因特网的使用已经渗透到社会的各个方面，不管用户是在家或在公司里，那么下一个合理的举措就是在离开台式电脑或笔记本电脑时还可以访问因特网”，而在选项中A表示―规定，声明‖，B表示―利用‖，C表示―轻视，鄙视‖，D表示―装满，充满‖，所以正确答案为D选项。
5. What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet? A. Indifferent. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Pessimistic
【题解】此题为观点态度题。议论文中作者的观点是多种多样的，要分析作者的观点就一定要细心捕捉文章中表达或暗示其情感态度的词或短语，并且一定要注意是对什么的态度或观点。
通过快速通过全文，文章的第一段是讲述芬兰老妇人的故事来引出第二段提出的论点，第三段说明这种手机因特网的实现方式，第四段是在解释说明这种热门的技术WAP，最后一段中虽然在第二句中提到了移动因特网的缺点，但是接下来也立刻指出这些技术的目的是使我们的生活变得更简单，将来这种技术如何使预定酒店更方便，所以以由此可以看出作者对这种移动因特网的发展还是持一种肯定乐观的态度的。选项A表示漠不关心的，选项B表示中立的，选项C表示积极的，肯定的，选项D表示消极的，否定的，因此正确答案为C选项。
例7（见例5所选文章）
7. According to the text, ―motte‖ (Paragraph 1) refers to ______. A. an earthen mound B. a wooden tower C. a shorter fence D. a large area
【题解】此题为词义题。根据解词义题的基本方法，首先就是要查找该词所在的句子以及其前后一两句话。浏览原文，可以找到该词在原文第一段的最后一句话 ―…castles, called motte and bailey castles‖，同时，在下文第二段的首句又进一步解释 ―these early castles consisted of an earthen mound‖，所以可以为motte and bailey castles consisted of an earthen mound。而在选项中，B选项是指土质护堤（earthen mound）的顶部是木塔，C选项是指大部分地是由较矮的栅栏围起
11
来，D选项是指城壁（bailey）是大区域的土地，所以正确答案为A选项。
例8（选自《大学英语》(A) Test 3, Part1, P. 69）
―You’re trying to control my life,‖ says my nine-year-old son. ―I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.‖ I receive this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, ―You let him have his way from the beginning.‖
It’s true; I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things—treated him as my peer, not as my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country.
It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised—to try something more liberal than our parents’ ―do it because I say so‖ approach—our generation has gone too far. ―Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,‖ says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator. ―When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,‖ says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. ―We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.‖ Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. ―By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,‖ he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.
Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.
Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend—and is proud of it. ―I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.‖ 5. The main point of the passage is to ______. A. compare different ways of raising children B. analyze the problems faced by today’s parents C. explain the importance of understanding children D. point out the mistakes made by the older generation
【题解】此题为主旨题。浏览全文，在文章的第二段的最后一句就指出“孩子经常和我顶嘴。这不是我一个的问题。许多家长都有这样的抱怨。”，通过此句可以看出当代家长面临的问题。紧接着后面的第三段和第四段都是在分析这样的问题是怎么产生的。在第三段中指出如今许多家长希望成为孩子的朋友以更加自由的态度对待自己的孩子，想摆脱以往自己的教育模式，第四段指出在教导上从过去的鞭打，恐吓成为现在的宽容，给予孩子自由选择的权力，第五段指出教导孩子是要在孩子犯错时纠正，并教导他们什么才是正确的方法；而最后两段是对前面论点的进一步举例论证。由此可以看出整篇文章主要是在介绍现代父母与子女之间关系的转变并且从中遇到的问题。所以正确答案为B选项。
结合对原文的分析考查选项，在考查选项时，要注意选择主旨题的答案时，要注意选项的内涵范围不能太大也不能太小。例如此题中：
蓝色划线部分为5小题解题之关键句。 12
选项A中比较教育孩子的不同方法是文章中第四段所提及的一个方面的内容；………………………………………………………………………………… 含义太窄
选项B为分析现代父母们面临的问题，含义范围大体与本文相符，所以是答案；……............................................. ……………………………………………..含义范围相符 选项C表示解释理解孩子的重要性………………………………………………原文没有涉及 选项D表示指出老一代人所犯下的错误；………………………………………与原文不相符
例9（选自《大学英语》(A) Test 6, Part2, P. 92）
It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.
But to everyone’s surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.
Five families agreed to let their children play ―Macbeth‖ for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.
But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: ―Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic.‖
It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith’s way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big-much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine. This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core of his success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith’s view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, but teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don’t know what to do. The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. ―What happened to pursuit?‖ Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, ―There Are No Shortcuts‖.
As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his after- school ―Macbeth‖ rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder’s ―Our Town‖. When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. ―Rafe‖, she said, ―I’ve never seen Shakespeare done better.‖
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students. B. An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students. C. An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.
D. An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.
【题解】此题为主旨题。此题是要求要概括文章的主旨。这篇文章前面四个段落都在举一个事例讲述Rafe Esquith用不寻常的教学思路和方法教授学生，即给很少讲英语的学生教莎士比亚；
此两处为10小题解题之关键句。（蓝色划线部分） 13
在原文的第五段最后一句概括到Rafe Esquith认为增加课程的难度和课后的时间会对处于劣势的学生大有帮助，但是这一点是大多数教育专家没有认识到的。紧接着在文章的第七段提到Refe Esuith认为学习必须付出努力，学习是没有捷径的，所以该篇文章讲述的是Rafe Esquith这位富有创新思想的老师以及他在教学中的新思路和新方法。因此正确答案为C选项。
注意：以上阅读题的讲解仅作为各种题型的解题技巧与思路的分析讲解，希望通过以上讲解大家能掌握相应的解题技巧，同时大家务必也要认真完成《大学英语》（A）中6套题中阅读理解部分的所有文章，结合以上的解题技巧与方法进行备考练习。
Ⅱ.词汇和语法结构
一、词汇部分
词汇和短语虽然主要功在平时，但临考前的准备也必不可少。该部分的考查主要涉及近义词、近形词辨析，词的搭配及惯用法等。在学习这部分时，最常遇到的问题便是词汇不足。一般认为背单词是件既吃力，又往往成效不彰的苦差事。实际上，若能采用适当的方法，是可以缩短扩大词汇量所需的时间，并且提高记忆单词的质量的。下面将简单介绍几种单词记忆法，大家可借助这些方法复习《大学英语》统考用书后词汇表中的A级词汇。
（一）结合记忆法
将比较生疏，不常用的单词放入一定的语言环境—句子中，结合句意来记忆单词。遇到此单词时， 若词义忘记，则可通过回忆所在句子的意思来记忆单词。如： critical adj.
①批评（性）的，吹毛求疵的
I don't like people who are too critical about everything. 我不喜欢对每件事都太吹毛疵的人。 ②紧要的，关键的；危急的
His condition is reported as being very critical. 据报告他的情况非常危急。
通过此法来掌握词汇，既有助于记住单词本身的拼写、拼读，又可同时熟悉词的词义、词性、用法和 搭配，比孤立地背记单词效果要好。
（二）同类记忆法
将同类词汇收集在一起，同时记忆。注意，同类词汇与同义词不同：同义词是指意思相同，而同类词是指基本属性相同、具体意义不同的一类词汇。如： headmaster和principal是同义词， 意思为―中小学校长‖;
bachelor（学士）、master（硕士）,doctor (博士）三个词都表示学位授予的情况，―但具体级别不同，所以这三个词是一组同类词汇。
联系上下层级来记忆，例如：
living things （生物）--- > animal;
plant（植物）-? pine （松树）-? trunk（树干）;
leaf root branch
“pine”一词上可联系到“plant”和“living things”，下可联系到“trunk，leaf，root，branch”。
14
这样，将同类词汇放在一起记忆，当遇到其中一个词时，头脑中出现的就是一组词，效率大大提高了。
（三）比较记忆法
把同义词或形似词放在一起，加以区别、说明来掌握单词的方法。记忆的过程是一组组，一对对单词同时记忆。这种记忆方法可以记住单词拼写的同时，还掌握了词与词的区别和各自特殊的用法，清楚地区分平时极易混淆的单词。如：
admit和confess是同义词，均表示―承认‖。但confess，含有―坦白、忏悔‖的意思， 而admit却无此意。admit除含有―承认‖之意外， 还含有―允许，接纳‖的意思。
acquire、inquire、require是三个形似词，但意思却完全不同：acquire（取得，获得）。 inquire（打听，查询）、require（需要，要求，命令）。
（四）构词法记忆法
通过掌握构词法来记忆单词。英语主要有三种构词法： ①转化，即由一个词类转化为另一个词类。如：
picture（n.）画-picture（v.）描绘；water（n.）水—water（v.） 浇水 ②派生，即演过加前缀或后缀构成另一个词，如： happy--unhappy（加前缀）happiness（加后缀） ③合成，即由两个或更多的词合成一个词。如： wood（木）＋cut（刻-- woodcut（木刻）；pea（豌豆）＋nuts（坚果）-- peanut（花生） 这种记忆法可以将具有同一基本意义的不同词性或具有相反意义的一系列单词同时记忆，使不同单词的词义、词性不易混淆。
二、语法部分
统考语法部分主要涉及到代词、形容词语副词及其比较等级的应用、主要情态动词、动词时态与语态、非谓语动词、主谓一致、虚拟语气、从句等内容，为方便考生对语法知识的复习，现将主要语法知识的重点或难点点内容总结如下：
（一）名词
A. 知识要点
1. 名词可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单、复数之分。不可数名词只用单数形式。如果要表示数量多少，需在其前面加量词来表达。如：a piece of news（一条新闻）；two pieces of advice（两条建议）；
2．名词所有格的构成是名词加“’s”，如：Mary’s room；如原词已有复数词尾-s，则只加“’”，如：the students’ hall, 通常用于有生命的存在物的名词；名词所有格也可以由介词of加名词构成，通常用于无生命的存在物的名词, 如：the window of the classroom.
3. 表示时间、距离、城镇、国家的无生命名词的所有格可用’s属格表示。如：Today’s newspaper, China’s industry, ten minutes’ walk.
（二）冠词
A. 知识要点
冠词是一种虚词，用在名词前面，说明名词是特指还是泛指。冠词分不定冠词和定冠词。
1. 不定冠词: a / an表示―一‖、―某一‖概念，用于单数可数名词前。a用在辅音音素开头的词前，an用在元音音素开头的词前。如：
