2.Since the questions require specific and detailed understanding of the material in a passage, analyze each passage carefully the first time you read it. However, there are other ways of approaching reading comprehension passages: some test takes prefer to skim the passages the first time through or even to read the first question before reading the passage. You should choose the method most suitable for you.
3.Focus on key words and phrases, and make every effort to avoid losing the sense of what is being discussed. Keep the following in mind: A. Note how each fact relates to an idea or an argument. B. Note where the passage moves from one idea to the next. C. Separate main ideas from supporting ideas. D. Determine what conclusions are reached and why.
4. Read the questions carefully, making certain that you understand what is being asked. An answer choice may be incorrect, even though it accurately restates information given in the passage, if it does not answer the question. If you need to, refer back to the passage for clarification.
5. Read all the choices carefully. Never assume that you have selected the best answer without first reading all the choices.
5.仔细阅读所有选项。在没有读完所有选项时,别心存侥幸地认为已经找到最好答案。
6. Select the choice that best answers the question in terms of the information given in the passage. Do not rely on outside knowledge of the material for answering the question.
6.根据文中给出的信息选择最好的答案。不要依靠相关领域的其它知识来回答问题。
7. Remember that understanding, not speed, is the critical factor in reading comprehension.
