轻松备考09年MBA英语阅读理解(3)

阅读理解复习方法：几乎所有的英语考试都会有阅读理解这一道题目。据辅导老师说，MBA联考的英语考试中阅读理解的难度介于大学英语四、六级考试之间，可见难度并不高，但要拿高分并不容易。做阅读理解最需要的是耐心和细心。有时候，题目很容易，可是出题人往往会绕一个弯给题目，稍不留意就被“套”了。至于答题技巧，可以采用“倒推法”。先看题目和选项，然后看文章，这样可以有针对性地阅读，阅读的同时把关键的地方用笔勾出来，再看题目的时候，便能够很准确地找到问题的答案了。在做阅读理解时，有一点尤其值得注意：所有问题的答案都要依据原文，千万不能随心所欲、想当然，这才是真正的“阅读理解”。
