大学英语四级考试阅读笔记(21)
注：文章第一段 divided 对应opposing，attitude 对应 views，A和B选项涉及插入语，为次要成分干扰选项，C为窜句干扰选项
●窜句选项：根据题干关键词回文章定位对应语句，如该句话包含题干答案，则凡涉及该段其他语句的选项为窜句选项；如该句不包含答案，到其上下句中寻找答案
Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
68. Which of the following can best raise students' creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?
A) Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.
B) Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness.
C) Giving them rewards they really deserve.
D) Giving them rewards they anticipate.
注：中立调和态度观点，A和B选项来自第三段第一句，错误推理
"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards."
69. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _________.
A) rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students
B) punishment is more effective than rewarding
C) failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards
D) discouraging the students' anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades
注：D选项是错误推理
70. The phrase "token economies" (Line 1, Para. 5) probably refers to _________.

D) methods of improving performance
注：1.token economy 是与“外部奖励”有关的内容

按照内容分为两类：
一、文科文章—两点注意：
1.文章态度
2.抓住文章主题
1）把握主题后不会偏差理解
2）与主题相关的选项为优选选项
二、理科文章
1.试验型（Study\Experiment\Research\Test）
2.科技成果型（e.g. Artificial Heart）
3.现象解释型
按照体裁分为三类：
一、 说明文 1.抓住说明对象 2.重要数据事实
二、 议论文 属于文科类文章
三、 记叙文
阅读中难点句型：
一、 多重复合句----关键抓住主句主干成分
二、 多重并列句----两个主句并列在一起，而非主句从句嵌套在一起
三、 强调句----被强调部分为主语、宾语、状语 It is that…
四、 被动句----基本结构 A is done by B
五、 倒装句----否定词 hardly, rarely, seldom, never, not until, not only 引起句子倒装
六、 省略句----e.g. He is a good man, so am I.
建议采用的阅读方法：
一、扫描题干，大致了解题目类型及分布，将其中细节题题干关键词划出。
二、速读原文，遇到题干关键词或其同义词时做适当标记；关注考试原则句。
考试原则句：重要句（各段首句，文章末句，结论、解释句），转折句，条件句，因果关系句，复合句等难句（多重复合、多重并列、强调句、倒装句），时间，数字，人名，比较。
三、定位答案，正确选项为文章对应语句的同义改写。
题型攻略：
一、主题题 (main idea/ mainly/ mainly discuss/mainly concerned/ central/ primary)
两种变体：
1.写作目的题型 purpose of writing
2.文章标题题型 the best title
做题方法：
1.找主题句
2.找主体词（通常在文章中出现频率较高，往往会在第一段出现，且带有概括性的词语）
二、细节题
类型：1.对错题 2.例证题 3.一般细节题
做题方法：准确定位
三、词汇题
类型：1.指代题 2.词义题
做题方法：1.根据上下文关系
2.构词法（词根词缀）
st（位置不变）:stay--stand--stationary--street--star--statue--status
