说了Kitcher的书通过批驳创造论者的programmes和tactics来进行批评，对于那些不熟悉creationists的方法的人，解释了创造论者的欺骗性和歪曲性。这些都是批评论者的真正特点。比起C说的狠狠地咒骂，要客观、准确的多。所以，B是答案。 第三题问从文章中能推断出什么。A选项说推理论证在这场争论中起着决定性作用，不好说，先放着。B选项说创造论者没有把他们的论点放在推理论证的基础上，也说不清，先放着。C选项说进化论对不是专家的人来说太难了，这是不对的。从最后一段第2句话可以看出，非专家接受进化论是不困难的。D选项说创造论有科学发现作为支持，这也是不对的，因为文章对创造论持的是反对的态度。只剩下A和B，核心在resoning上。我们来看文章的最后一句话，因为只有那里涉及到了reason的问题。And so it does-and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creation-ism/evolution debate。注意到这句话用的是虚拟语气，意思是说如果推理是唯一用来判断创造论和进化论之争的话，就好了，再结合文章对创造论的批评，可以推断出，创造论者是不以推理论证为基础的，由此判断出B比A更接近原文，所以是答案。
第四题问这篇文章看起来像是什么的摘要。整篇文章基本是围绕着Kitcher's 的书说的，说这本书第几章什么内容，接下来什么内容，可见应该是个跟这本书有关的，比如序之类的。看选项，A选项说是书的评论，有可能。B选项说是科学论文，C选
46
项说是杂志feature，D选项说是报纸社论。可见A选项最有可能，所以是答案。
以上我们就结合考研的真题介绍了“管氏阅读法”的步骤，这里面的一些思想、方法可能跟大家以前的习惯不一样，刚开始接受起来会有一定的障碍，所以仔细体会、领悟非常重要。其实英语成绩要想在短时间内有提高主要在阅读，阅读要想在短时间内提高主要在于思维的转变，接受信息方法的改变。为了帮助大家把这种方法掌握熟练，我们会在下一章对10篇文章进行详解。这10篇文章均为1994-1996年的考研阅读真题，选取时会考虑文章体裁、特点、问题类型等的不同，争取比较全面。
第三章 完整练习的详解
Passage l
With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation's news coverage, as well as listen to it. And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio station. They are brought sport , comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs , education , religion , parliamentary coverage, children ' s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of 83 pounds per household.

It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years--yet the BBC' s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
The debate was launched by the Government , which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC-including ordinary listeners and viewers--to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC' s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes.
Defenders of the Corporation-of whom there are many---are fond of quoting the American slogan \The BBC \t broke\,they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word 'broke' , meaning having no money) , so why bother to change it?
Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels---TV and Channel 4-were required by the Thatcher Government's Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the rival of new satellite channels--funded partly by advertising and partly by

viewers' subscriptions-which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term .
1. The world famous BBC now faces__ . (A) the problem of new coverage (B) an uncertain prospect

(A) the emergence of commercial TV channels

(C) the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs (D) the challenge of new satellite channels 第一步，读题
第一题问世界著名的BBC现在面对着什么，问题中的核心是BBC，然后是关于它现在面临的问题，属于涉及具体内容的题，应该记。我们看到说BBC面临的问题的地方，即便不一定明确出现了face这个词，但是只要涉及这方面，就要仔细读，需要的话就划下来。
第二题问下面关于BBC的哪一个不是作为关键issue提到的。没有涉及到具体内容，不用记。不过提醒我们要把关于BBC的，特别是涉及到“关键”的那些话仔细读一读。
第三题问BBC的royal charter代表什么。问题指出了这个词的具体位置（第几段的第几行），所以也不用记。
第四题读题的时候可能会有一些障碍，障碍1是foremost这个词可能不认识，障碍2是no other than不知道究竟是什么意思。foremost即便不认识，但是most总是认识的，可以猜出应该和most的意思比较接近。再看后面跟的是reason，原因，猜到应该是最重要的意思。至于no other than，假设没有背过这个短语，就从字面上理解。“没有其它的比??更??”，我们可以想象如果是汉语里我们说这样一个句式，比如“没有别的比这件衣服更好看了”，说得是不是一个肯定的意思？知道这个方向也就够了。第四题问的是BBC不得不调整自己的最主要的原因
