医学考博英语阅读做题如何快速有效阅读?
全国医学博士外语统一考试的阅读的一篇文章大致400词,其后配上5到阅读理解选择题,要求大约10分钟完成,所以给予理解文章内容的用时不超过5分钟,必须具备快速阅读的能力。而要做好题,务必要梳理文章思路概括大意。那么,怎么做到快速有效的阅读呢?重点在于梳理句子之间的逻辑关系概括段落大意,把握段落之间的逻辑关系总结文章主旨大意。那具体如何实施呢?下面以一篇真题的一个很长的段落为例,讲解核心策略:线性阅读,抓逻辑关系,辨句子功能(分清要点与细节支撑),实时整合大意。
①This issue of Science contains announcements for more than 100 different Gordon Research Conferences, on topics that range from atomic physics to developmental biology. ②The brainchild of Neil Gordon of Johns Hopkins University, these week-long meetings are designed to promote intimate, informal discussions of frontier science. ③Often confined to fewer than 125 attendees, they have traditionally been held in remote places with minimal distractions. ④Beginning in the early 1960s, I attended the summer Nucleic Acids Gordon Conference in rural New Hampshire, sharing austere dorm facilities in a private boy's school with randomly assigned roommates. ⑤As a beginning scientist, I found the question period after each talk especially fascinating, providing valuable insights into the personalities and ways of thinking of many senior scientists whom I had not encountered previously. ⑥Back then, there were no cell-phones and no Internet, and all of the speakers seemed to stay for the entire week. ⑦During the long, session-free afternoons, graduate students mingled freely with professors. ⑧Many lifelong friendships were begun, and—as Gordon intended—new scientific collaborations began. ⑨Leap forward to today, and every scientist can gain immediate access to a vast store of scientific thought and to millions of other scientists via the Internet. ⑩Why, nevertheless, do in-person scientific meetings remain so valuable for a life in science?
要做到快速有效阅读,基本功是快速理解句子,尤其是长句难句。只有能快速理解单个句子,才有心思时时梳理句子之间的逻辑关系。梳理句子之间的逻辑关系,需要了解一些技巧,常见的有代词指代,名词同义表达,逻辑副词/连词/介词短语等。
①②③句的关联是Gordon Research Conferences→these week-long meetings→they是同一个事物,代词these和they指代前文提到的,名词meetings和Conferences是同义表达。一起介绍了戈登会议的信息:会议话题(topics)广/会议创始人(Neil Gordon)和目的(are designed to)/参会人数(attendees)和地点(remote places)。
④⑤句作者回忆参加的一次具体的会议(Nucleic Acids Gordon Conference),提到对question period的感受。
⑥→⑩是通过过去(Back then)和(Leap forward to today)现在的对比转而(nevertheless)提出核心问题:⑥⑦⑧是阐述过去该会议的时代背景(no cell-phones and no Internet)和成果(lifelong friendships/ scientific collaborations)→⑨句是介绍现在的网络时代背景(via the Internet)可为科学交流提供的便利→⑩句转而引出核心问题(Why do in-person scientific meetings remain so valuable for a life in science?)
根据以上逻辑梳理可知,该段落主要是通过对Gordon Research Conferences的介绍和阐述,最终提出一个核心问题:为什么面对面的科学会议(如Gordon Research Conferences)对于从事科学研究的人来说仍然如此重要?),从而引起下文,可以预判后文将回答该问题。
