#头头creationchallenge# As the saying goes, "English exams, those who can read will win the world." The editor has compiled and summarized 56 rules for reading comprehension and problem solving for everyone. All of them are practical. Save them and study them! Hope it helps everyon

6. What someone said, or what was said with quotation marks or , must be taken seriously. Especially in the second half of the paragraph, it is very likely that it is a synonym for a certain question. That is the question eye.

7. Sometimes, two questions can be set in one sentence. But this happens rarely, very rarely.

8. Articles are basically composed of 5 paragraphs (there are also 6 or 7 paragraphs), and the relationship between each paragraph must be grasped. Generally speaking, one question per paragraph, just generally speaking.

9. There are always 5 or 6+ long and difficult sentences in an article, and there are always questions here. Therefore, long and difficult sentences must be captured! !

10. The first sentence of each paragraph is very important. Especially the segments of the total score structure. Sometimes the first sentence is the title of the question. In English exams, there are many total score structures or total score paragraphs.

11. If the first paragraph of the article starts with why, if there is a question here, the option with because is usually the correct option. However, this type of question is rare.

12. Sometimes the first sentence of each paragraph is just a statement. After the 2nd or 3rd sentence, there will be a contrast or turning point. Generally speaking, what is behind the turning point is the author's attitude. What you need to pay attention to is what twists the author makes. You need to find out that keyword.

13. Where an answer should appear, there is no answer. Read on. The answer may be in the beginning of the next paragraph. Because the article continues, there must be coherence.

14. If you don’t understand a long sentence, then read on. The next sentence may be an explanation of the long sentence. If so, there may be something wrong with this place. If there is a question in fate, the answer is right here. The actual situation is that when the article talks about a certain issue or puts forward a certain point of view, it sometimes provides further explanation. In this case, there is often a problem here.

15. Some sentences are just explanations and supplements, or serve as a transitional function. The characteristic of such sentences is that they are relatively short. Note that answers generally do not appear here. appears in the options, it is definitely a distraction. What you need to know is that most of the sentences with synonym substitution are long and difficult sentences. Some sentences that serve as transitions cannot be answers. You must have this judgment when you can't read it.

16. The correct options are all synonymous replacements of several words in the original text. All the reading comprehension questions from previous years are synonymous substitutions! ! It depends on whether you can find it. It depends on whether you can find that keyword, no matter what type of question it is.

17. Every question must have a positioning in the original text. Then read intensively to find the central sentence or key words. To grasp the central theme of the article and the general idea of ​​each paragraph, the reading comprehension test is this "central sentence".

18. Several words in the options are put together from words in different sentences in the paragraph. Sometimes they look very comfortable. Please note that they are distracting items. There are also words that are pieced together from different paragraphs and are directly excluded. In short, the words in the options are patchwork and may be wrong.

19. Be sure to pay attention to the object part of the sentences in the article, especially the object of the main part of the long and difficult sentences. As mentioned above, English questions are often set in long and difficult sentences. What you need to know is that in a long and difficult sentence, the main part of the sentence is most likely to cause problems! You must know what the subject and object of the stem are. The correct answer is often found here. Of course, there are also some words that modify and qualify, so be sure to read them carefully. Beware of traps.

20. If a question is a particularly long sentence, be sure to see clearly what is being asked and don’t be careless. This is something you need to pay attention to when doing the questions.

21. Pay attention to who the subject of the question is. In principle, it is consistent with the subject of the original text. If the subject is inconsistent, generally speaking, it is wrong.

22. That is, Article 6, what someone said, especially a very long sentence, or in quotation marks. More than 60% of the questions will be answered. The problem is right here. I mention it again here to attract your attention.

23. Wrong options often refer to a certain aspect of the article. Its characteristic is that it only involves a small issue, or a very specific, very specific fact. 200% wrong option. This is the most common interference item encountered in English reading comprehension, and it must be recognized.

24. Questions asked by Chinese people. Mostly it is a total-part structure, or total-part-total. So pay attention to the beginning and end of each paragraph. (This refers to paragraphs without transitions in the middle). The beginning and end of the entire article should also be paid attention to.

25. The structure of the article is either total-points or total-points-total, or transitions, comparisons, or examples, just a few routines.

26. Look clearly at the "key words" in the options (i.e., subject, object, modifier ). Sometimes, in the options, wrong changes are made to things that are originally correct in the original text, as interference items. What you need to pay attention to is whether the subject of the optional sentence is consistent with the original text, whether the object matches the meaning of the original text, or whether some far-fetched modifiers are used to make some special restrictions. See clearly. This is one of the characteristics of distractors.

27. Sometimes what someone said is not the title of the question, but it can reflect the author's point of view from the side or a certain angle, that is, what the author wants to express. The correct answer is consistent with this point of view. Key words must be grasped, words with emotional color. You must have this awareness when doing the questions.

28. Ask questions about a certain word or sentence without guessing the word. Just one thing, the main point of the article! There is no need to study what the word means, just grasp the gist. The main idea of ​​the whole text and the main idea of ​​the paragraph (the former is more important).

29. Then the 28th article said that no matter what the question type is, there are other question types mentioned above. To be absolutely speaking, what reflects the main idea is definitely correct, provided that you can be sure that it is the main idea. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the article, but you can grasp what the author wants to express.

30. Pay attention to the relationship between the central sentence (i.e. the title of the question) and the sentences before and after it. Is it a continuation or a transition relationship. If you ask a question here, you must grasp the relationship between the sentences before and after it. If it is a parallel relationship, you can find synonyms from these sentences; if it is a transitional relationship, you can judge it by the opposite meaning of the keywords in the transitional relationship sentence. The premise is that you can't read it.

31. All examples are given to illustrate the point. Then, this point (central sentence), generally speaking, will be expressed before giving an example. But sometimes it’s also after examples. In short, you must find out the point that the author wants to illustrate with examples.

32. After excluding the two options, just select the option related to the theme of the article. If you don’t know the main idea, just grasp the key words.

33. The correct answer to the vocabulary question is often hidden near that part of the original text (that is, the synonymous replacement word). The sentences near this part of the original text are in parallel relationships or explain explanatory sentences. You can grasp them from the similar meanings of the keywords in these sentences. It is a transitional relationship, so grasp it from the opposite meaning of the keyword. In short, what you are looking for is the keyword. Let’s understand it together with Article 30.

34. If "A is B and C" appears in the original text. If there is B but no C in the options for a certain question, or only C but no B, it must be wrong and should be eliminated directly. You may ask, what should I do if B and C appear at the same time? This has not happened so far. Note that B and C mentioned here are words or phrases. This is one of the characteristics of distractors. The actual situation is that this sentence is not the title of the question.

35. Continuing from the above, another situation is that if B and C are two long sentences, separated by semicolon . And these two sentences are what the author wants to express, and they appear in the options. Generally, the wrong modification will be made to one of the options as a distractor. And the other one is right. (But generally speaking, this type of question is very, very rare. What I want to talk about here is 34 items. You must be able to identify such interference items.)

36. Pay attention to a few words, yet means transition, and hardly means negation. While sometimes means comparison, and sometimes it means transition. When comparing, pay attention to the object of comparison and make it clear.When making a twist, you need to know what the author is making a twist about.

37. If you are confused about "keywords", or you want to ask: How do I know which is a keyword? To explain, the keyword is the object of the stem in the sentence. Especially some sentences that you think are more important. Most of these sentences are long and difficult. Generally speaking, the subject, object, and other modifying parts of the main body of a sentence are all very important! The object is the object of the subject, so it must match the subject. If not, it won't work. (That is, whether the subjects of the 26 items are consistent). As for the modification part, interference items are often manipulated here. For example, there will be some special restrictions. Be sure to pay attention and don't neglect it.

38. What is central sentence ? That is, a sentence that reflects the main purpose of the article and the central meaning of each paragraph. This sentence exists objectively. That is the author's point of view. The central sentence is the eye of the question. To choose the correct answer, look at the central sentence. Only the central sentence can select the correct answer. Therefore, if you don’t know where the central sentence is, or you can’t read it, it’s difficult to choose the correct answer. For the specific location of the central sentence, see the next article.

39. A very important point is to grasp the central meaning of each paragraph, which is the central sentence. At least one sentence per paragraph, and a maximum of 2 sentences. Generally speaking, for paragraphs with a total score structure, the central sentence is usually at the beginning of the paragraph. The example paragraph usually comes before and after the example. Transition paragraph, the central sentence is where the transition occurs, or the following sentence (generally floating around the third line of the paragraph). Then there’s what so-and-so said. Pay attention to the relationship between this sentence and the preceding and following sentences, whether it is a parallel or a transition. Then grasp the meaning of this sentence. If you can't grasp it, use the key words of whether the preceding and following sentences are parallel or transitional.

40. Each question must be returned to a specific paragraph of the article. If this question is in the second half of a paragraph and you don't quite understand it, this paragraph is over. Make it a habit. Then look at the first sentence of the paragraph. If you really can't do it, choose the option that has a similar meaning to the first sentence of the next paragraph. That’s all. (It seems to be a repetition of 13) In addition, this is just a small trick, it only serves as a supplement, and sometimes it is not used.

41. The third line of each paragraph is generally the third sentence of the paragraph (it may also be the second or fourth sentence). Its characteristics are: the sentence is very long, consisting of two or more sentences, and it is a long and difficult sentence. Especially that mean, the notion is that, etc., we must pay attention to them. Grasp the backbone of the sentence. What does the author want to say (grasp which sentence the author emphasizes). See clearly which sentence is used to modify which sentence. If a question is asked about such a sentence, the main part of the sentence will be the correct option. Those that serve as supplementary modifications must be seen clearly. The three most important places in each paragraph are: the beginning of the paragraph, the end of the paragraph, and here. Then there are the quotes. The central sentence is usually in these places. In fact, there are only a few places. Elsewhere it is usually a transitional sentence.

42. If it is a transition paragraph, pay attention to the transition sentence, which is usually at the 41st line (that is, the third line floats up and down). Look before and after the transition to see what the comparison is. If you don’t understand, use the previous words to translate the following words (reverse translation) to find the keywords. vice versa.

43. For the last paragraph, focus on the beginning and end of the paragraph. (It is rare that the last paragraph is a turning paragraph). If it is a narrative section, focus on everything other than the narrative section. Try to understand the narrative part as much as possible. The non-narrative part is very important. Generally, if the answer appears at the beginning of a paragraph, there may be interference items at the end of the paragraph (see the last item), but this is not absolute (sometimes there will be an answer prompt at the beginning and end of the paragraph). If the answer appears at the end of the paragraph, the beginning of the paragraph may be ordinary. Be sure to grasp which sentence is the key point. The options with similar meanings are not one-sided narratives and are generally the correct answers. To grasp the key points of the sentence, the clarified object mentioned (the object of the sentence trunk) is what the author focuses on.

44. ONLY appears in the options, but it is not correct yet.

45. The central sentence is particularly long and consists of 2 clauses. Both sentences appear in the options. How can I exclude them? What reflects the main idea is correct. This is the object of the author's attention! Another option is to provide a specific explanation, or supplement, or a response to a specific phenomenon of the theme, or a description of its consequences. This option will generally make wrong modifications and act as an interference item (even if no wrong modifications are made, it will still be an interference item). In short, for such a question, it is correct if it meets items 28 and 29. Anything that meets Article 23 is wrong.

46. Be sure to pay attention to who is used to modify whom. Words or sentences that serve as modifiers and are used as options are generally wrong. The modified part is used as an option, which is generally correct.

47. Questions about causal relationships, very direct and simple causal relationships, can be eliminated directly. Indirect causation, reflecting the main idea, may be correct. In short, for questions about cause and effect, just grasp the gist. The direct cause and effect mentioned in the article, such as a specific thing or something. They are all distractions.

48. 47's supplement, the correct options often reflect the substantive and fundamental content. If the options reflect a very specific performance, they are usually distractors.

49. The new words that sometimes appear in the distractors (maybe you don’t know them) are words that have nothing to do with the topic of the article, rather than synonymous substitutions. (This requires your basic skills)

50. New trend, some questions require understanding of the article to solve. It’s hard to pick out if you can’t read it. Moreover, the number of long and difficult sentences increased significantly. Sometimes, it will make you collapse to the point where you know the words but have no idea what the article is about. At this time, no techniques are easy to use. Therefore, we must improve our basic skills. At least you need to know what the article is about, that is, who is related to whom. The main theme of any article can basically be summarized as "who is related to whom".

51. Grasp the information points through the first paragraph or the first two paragraphs. That is what the author wants to say, who is related to whom?

52. Next, as mentioned above, you must understand what an article is talking about, or "who is related to whom". If you don’t understand the specific “relationship”, you must understand “who is with whom”. For example, an article talks about the relationship between A and B. If a question asks you A, and option B is often the correct answer. If you are asked B, you can first eliminate the options without A.

53. The latest trend: the last paragraph, the end of the paragraph is obviously not a summary, but a supplementary sentence. Note that there may be distractions here.

54. As mentioned above, the central sentence appears at the beginning, middle, end of the paragraph, or in a sentence with quotation marks. However, this is also where distractors often appear. Therefore, your basic skills and understanding of the article are the abilities you must possess. There are techniques for any exam, but if you want to get the ideal score, it is unrealistic to rely solely on techniques.

55. Sometimes, you will encounter sentences with 2 or 3 negative words. Negate and then deny, or deny and deny and then deny. If you encounter it, especially if it is triple negative, you will basically set a question here, and you must find out the key words in this sentence. This is a place where you need to practice. When the time comes, don’t be confused or frightened.

56. However, the following sentences must be paid attention to. For example, there were three questions in one of the year's papers, and the questions were all sentences after "however". Therefore, this word must be sensitive.
