英语四六级阅读技巧（3）

分析：根据短文内容可以看出，A、B、C三项的内容都只是从某一个方面阐述了一种观点，而D项句子所表达的意思就较全面，高度囊括了全篇短文的主旨。
例（2）The first paragraph is mainly about ．
A．the teenagers‘ criticism of their parents
B．misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C．the dominance of the parents over their children
D．the teenagers‘ ability to deal with crisis
分析：短文意思是讲年青人有时批评、责备其父母，认为父母对他们间误解负大部分责任是自然的事。而B项意思是年青人和父母间的误解，C项意思是父母对他们孩子的统治；D项指年轻人处理危机的能力。根据短文内容，可以明确看出，B、C、D三项内容都是从三个方面来论述
短文观点的，而A项则较全面地、有针对性地表达了文章的中心意思，故为答案。       

（五）选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的（字面意思）一般不是答案项，而概括性的、抽象的、含义深刻的是答案项。

例（1）The population in the 21st century， according to the writer ．
A．will be smaller than a few years ago
B．will not be as small as people expect
C．will prove to be a threat to the world
D．will not constitute as serious a problem as expected
分析：选项A、B中都有small一词，该词在文中出现过，因而总觉浅，是字面之意。C项明显与文章不符，而D项表达的意义比small要深刻得多。
例（2）From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one ．
A．to be more successful in his career
B．to solve technical problems
C．to be more specialized in his field
D．to develop his professional skill
分析：题意是“从文中看出员工素质有助于人们……。” B项题即“解决技术问题”；C项意即“深化专业”；D项“发展职业技能”这三项表达的意思都比较具体，而A项则概括地有深度，包括了B、C、D三项内容。
