(9)Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole ?
應對策略：跳讀(skimming)文章的開頭、結尾及段落的首句和尾句。主旨應該是宏觀的，但有不能失之空泛。
2.態度類

(2)What’s the tone of the passage?
(3)The author’s view is _______
(4)The writer’s attitude of passage is apparently _________-
(5)The author suggests that _________
(6)According to author __________
應對策略：有的文章觀點明確，基調清楚，這時跳讀(skimming)文章的開頭、結尾及段落的首句和尾句。而另一些則需要閱讀時對某些細節仔細琢磨。尤其應注意有些表明作者觀點詞彙，如形容詞、副詞等。
3.細節類
(1)Which of the following is NOT true according to the information in the passage?
(2) Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
(3) What is the example of . . . as described in the passage?

(5) The reason for . . . . .
(6) The author states that . . .
(7) According to the passage, when (where, why, how, who, etc. ) ...
應對策略：尋讀(scanning)出現關鍵詞的相應段落，四個答案中相同的詞即爲關鍵詞。仔細對比答案與文中相應細節。
4.推理類
(1)The writer implies but not directly states that__________-.
(2) It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
(3) The author strongly suggests that__________ .
(4) It can be concluded from the passage that________.
(5) The passage is intended to__________ .
(6)The writer indicates that__________ .
應對策略：推理類題，可能是針對文章整體也可能是針對某個細節。如果是前者，跳讀(skimming)文章的開頭、結尾及段落的首句和尾句。即可得出答案。如果是後者，尋讀(scanning)相應段落並仔細研讀相應細節。
5.詞彙類
(1)According to the author ,the word "…"means_______.
(2)Which of the following is nearest in meaning to "…"?
(3)The term ".."in paragraph… can be best replaced by ….
(4)What’s the meaning of "…"in Line …of paragraph….?
(5)As used in the line …, the word "…"refers to _______.
應對策略：尋讀(scanning)定位相關詞的出處。根據上下文與詞的構造來猜測。最好將四個選項帶回文中，看看哪一個最合適。即使不是生詞，也應當作生詞來猜。
6.指代類
(1)What does “it” refers to in Line 2, Paragraph 5?
(2)What does “they” satnd for in Line 3, Paragraph 2?
(3) What does “their” satnd for in Line 3, Paragraph 2?
(4) What does “its” refer to in Line 3, Paragraph 2?
應對策略：尋讀(scanning)，定位相關代詞的出處，離它最近且單複數一致的名詞即是。注意英語中“they”既可指代人也可指代物。
