六级阅读理解应试技巧真题演练
B)American political circles will not accept diversity
C)it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U.S media
D)minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity
答案是A)。文中通过一位美国黑人教授之口，传达出多样性的好处的信息，因此可以推断出是多样化使不拘一格使用人才成为可能，与A)项意义吻合。若单从选项本身判断，B)和C)句意过于绝对，因此排除，这样使判断范围缩小，有利于选择答案。
3.合乎常理或符合一般常识的选项大多是答案项，而与原文相同或对原文做字面解释的则不是答案。

These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference.If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers.Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity(多样性).For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc.Largecity urbanites are also more likely than their smalltown counterparts to have a cosmopolitan （见多识广者的) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and socalled undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.
Q：It can be inferred from the Passage that the bigger a community is,.
A) the better its quality of life
B) the more similar its interests
C) the more tolerant and openminded it is
D) the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress
答案是C)。比较四个选项，城市越大，生活质量并不一定越好，兴趣并不一定更相似，并不一定更能显示心理压力，所以A)、B)、D)项均可排除。而C)项则合乎常理。因此将选项与常识联系后，很快就会找到正确答案。
(四)主旨题
1.只读首尾段，极可能在这些段落中发现答案。
［真题例解］(2002年12月第40题)
If environmental destruction results when people have either too little or too much, we are left to wonder how much is enough.What level of consumption can the earth support? When does having more cease to add noticeably to human satisfaction?
Q： It can be inferred from the Passage that .
A) human spiritual needs should match material affluence
B) whether high consumption should be encouraged is still an issue
C) how to keep consumption at a reasonable level remains a problem
D) there is never an end to satisfying people’s material needs
答案为C）。本文在前六段对过分消费的生活提出了批评，但在第七段同时指出过分消费的反面——贫穷绝不是问题的答案。接着在最后一段提出：太多和太少都会对环境造成破坏。那么要拥有多少才能满足？地球能承受什么样的消费水平？什么时候人们才能不再贪得无厌？由此可以得出结论：问题是什么样的消费水平才是合理的。
2.阅读时，注意高频率出现的单词或多次出现的同一类词，这些词可能就是蕴含中心思想的关键词。

There are some phenomena you can count on, but the magnetic field, someday is not one of them.It fluctuates in strength, drifts from its axis, and every few 100,000 years undergoes—dramatic polarity reversal—a period when north pole becomes south pole and south pole becomes north pole.But how is the field generated and why is it so unstable?
Groundbreaking research by two French geophysicists promises to shed some light on the mystery.Using 80 metres of deep sea sediment (沉淀物) core, they have obtained measurements lots of magneticfield intensity that span 11 polarity reversals and four million years.The analysis reveals that intensity appears to fluctuate with a clear, welldefined rhythm.Although the strength of the magnetic field varies irregularly during the short term, there seems to be an inevitable longterm decline preceding each polarity reversal.When the poles flip—a process that takes several hundred thousand years—the magnetic field rapidly regains its strength and the cycle is repeated.
