段落信息匹配题1.这种题型可以放到最后做。
2.考生难以按照阅读题一贯遵循的“顺序原则”解题。
细节信息的排列绝对是“乱序的”，这就意味着从文章开头到结尾按顺序定位的方法是行不通的。
3.快速掌握文章脉络。
通过阅读中心句快速掌握文章脉络。
中心句一般出现在：1）首句；2）转折词如but ；3）因果关系联接词如as a result 引领的第二句；4）问句后面的答句。
在找到中心句后，读一下末句，可以更精确地掌控段意。
若无特别明显的中心句，首尾句的阅读也有助于理解段意。
阅读过程当中，有的信息点明确可直接先去选出答案。
这里我们也要明确要多看外文，掌握外文的行文思路。
4.一般而言文章组织有三大类。
一是按时间，如货物运输，这是最简单的。
二是按观点—原因—发展—瓶颈—措施—目标的布局来分析一件事物。
三是偏科普的夹杂很多不同派别的理论，这个相对而言比较难。
5.划出句子中的关键词。
由于人的短期记忆能力是有限的，在短时间内无法记下所有的句子。
因此需要寻找选项中的一些在最大程度上概括整个选项的关键词。
带着这些关键词去浏览全篇文章，找到它们所涉及的相关内容后，再研读细节，最终确定此句是否和该段匹配。
6.题干提供的信息表述中通常会出现一些具有特殊意义的指示性词汇，这类词汇虽然不是通常意义上的定位关键词，但其特殊含义可将考生的注意力指向原文的开头、结尾或是某个具有特殊特征的段落。
这些词通常包括如下三类：①能够指示开头段的词汇(如overview、introduction、initiation、main idea、definition等)；②能够指示结尾段的词(如overview、future、solution、conclusion、suggestion、summary等)；③能够帮助考生回原文定位的特殊词汇(如rate、ratio、proportion、percentage等词往往对应含“%”的段落；number、figure、statistical demographics 等词往往对应数字集中的段落；financial、income、revenue、salary等词往往对应含诸如“$”“￥”等货币符号的段落)。
通过这些指示性词汇缩小回原文定位的范围，从而快速判定。
7.正确选项一定是原文的同义转换，因此必须识别它们之间的转换关系。
如果不能确定某些单句是否与该段落相匹配的8.首在次阅读过程中，最好做个记号，以便第二次阅读时更有针对性。
第二次阅读的目的：一是检查已初步确定的段落与单句是否确实匹配；二是完成第一遍阅读中尚未解答的题目。
关键词专题：什么是关键词呢?关键词是用来帮助我们定位信息的词汇。
最理想的情况是：我们依靠所划的关键词迅速定位到信息所在的段落，从而得到答案。
这就要求我们所划的关键词是独一无二的，它只出现在原文的某一个段落。
那么什么样的词才有这个特点呢?【关键词的类型】1. 一些拼写较长的词，比如如：internship，competitiveness，globalization，integration，sustainability，innovative，immigration等。
这些词属于低频词，一般不会大篇幅地出现。
利用这些词可以高效地查找匹配段落。
另外，这些词有时会作为生词在文中标注出来，像internship，在原文中用斜体印刷，并以括号备注中文。
选它做关键词，瞬间就能找到原文出处了。
2. 数字，包括年代、百分比、特殊事件等。
如四级样卷中的：mid-1970s,3.9 percent，20 percent，September 11等。
利用这些数字进行定位，测得的准确率是100%3. 以连字符连接的特殊词汇。
如：university-based，one-child。
这些词是由两个(或三个)单词连接的新词，一般当成形容词使用。
三个单词的例子如：hard-to-grasp难以理解的。
这些词也属于低频词，一般不会大篇幅出现。
需要注意的是有时候我们需要将这些词拆开来定位，如one-child在原文中是没有的，原文是这样的“They often compromise by having just one child. ”这里的one child 就不是整体作为形容词使用了。
4. 研究、报告、书籍型词汇，如：report，study，books等。
一般来说研究、报告等内容都是易考点，这些信息经常出现在特定的段落里，所以根据这些词汇作为关键词也很容易定位。
5. 最高级，如best，worst，most等。
如关键词之一为the best solution。
然而仅凭此关键词我们可能无法迅速地找到答案，因为原文的表述是the most effective method，用的词汇是完全不一样的。
这就提醒我们在平常的阅读中应多关注最高级出现的地方，因为它常常是考点。
6. 除了以上所列的承载主要信息的名词，形容词等。
如：funding，unsteady , values，employers，older workers，reforms，shortage，war，immigration，rich countries 等。
这些词的判断需要多加练习与体会。
The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my familyand I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of afriend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let merant until the cloudslifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voicemail. That'swhen it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life haddwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit mehard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everythingabout me; when they left,they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolationon one's health. Butmy concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in theway that only a girlfriendcan understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't,and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire newfriends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the worlda little bit just as I did.Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could beselective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt prettyfrightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when yon're younger -- a factwoman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director andmother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unlessthere's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity.Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. There are many people I'mcomfort-able around, but Iwouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship, Danzig says.D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the waymy4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, Will you be my friend? Every time you start anewrelationship, you're vulnerable again, agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute,in Atlanta. You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes usself-conscious.E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerabilityrisk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high,when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enoughself-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we alreadymake time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie.Michelle Mertes, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made atchurch came as a pleasant surprise. In high school I chose friends based on their popular-ity and howbeing part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count.Mertes says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, isnothing like her but theirdrive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if theydo, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, atall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. I said to my husband, she's too cool forme,' she jokes. I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be prettylaid-back and friendly. In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals.I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy. What midlife friendship isabout, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thusreinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back whenshe was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues inlight of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turnover a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go.Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance fromworkwas exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had afeeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.J) While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to nurture your old ones. Weasked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends When Youe Nota Kid Anymore, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Yourfriends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busyyou are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend's life and show your support. Call ore-mail to let her know you're thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely)if something she didreally upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept herflaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks --she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cutdown on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so tell herhow much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.46. Leslie Danzig thought making friends at one's middle age needed some reasons.47. A well-chosen new friend can help you go in the direction that you like.48. A few years ago the author felt lonely and depressed when she phoned her best friend in another citywho was much wanted then but unavailable.49. According to Kathleen Hall, one might feel sensitive in the first curse of making new friends.50. Midlife friendship can help you realize your direction of life and reinforce the progress you've made inyour life.51. In Mafia Paul's book, to be a better friend, you should keep track with your fiiends, care for yourfriend's job, express yourself, accept her flaws and compliment your friend forher/his good dressing andjob.52. For the author, a girl friend might be the right person to under stand her and erase her negativefeeling.53. According to Michelle Metes, midlife friendship is based on the shared values and activities54. As a mature friend seeker, the author finds herself with enough confidence to offer and take rejectionwith grace.55. With newly made friends, you can have a chance to take on a new look in your life.交友之道A)数年前的一天晚上，我发现自己陷入了焦虑中。
