     在考英语四六级时，好多考生一下考场就捶胸顿足：“好多单词都不认识！其实阅读英语材料的阅读速度和单词量并不成正比。下面的快速阅读诀窍希望能对积极参加四六级考试的同学有所帮助。

1、快速泛读(Fast extensive reading)

平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。平时要做到广泛阅读量，并且涉及不同领域。有的时候“好读书不求甚解”是必要的。只有读多了，感觉才会来。

2、计时阅读(Timed reading)

计时阅读每次进行5～10分钟即可，不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读，精力高度集中，时间一长，容易疲劳、精力分散，反而乏味。阅读时先记下“起读时间”，阅读完毕，记下“止读时间”，即可计算出本次阅读速度。长期坚持，必定收到明显效果。

3、略读(Skimming)

略读是指以尽可能快的速度阅读，迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。略读要求读者有选择地进行阅读，可跳过某些细节，以求抓住文章的大概，从而加快阅读速度。先把文章粗略地浏览一下，看看文章中是否有自己工作和学习需要的或自己感兴趣的资料和信息，然后确定这篇文章是否值得细读。在查找资料时，如果没有充分时间，而又不需要高度理解时，就可以运用略读技巧。

4、寻读(Scanning)

寻读同略读一样，要善于运用寻读获得具体信息，提高阅读效率。寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息，而对其它无关部分则略去不读。寻读既要求速度，又要求寻读的准确性。可以把整段整段的文字直接映入大脑，不必字字句句过目。可以利用材料的编排形式、章节标题和说明、提示词获得所需要的信息。

大学英语六级阅读中的蒙题技巧

     一、答案中有绝对语气词的一般不是正确答案项。
       这些语气词有： must, always, never, the most, all, only, have to, any, no, very completely, none, hardly等。

　　二、选项中有不十分肯定的语气词一般是正确答案项。
      这些语气词有： can, could, may, should, usually, might, most(大多数)，more or less, relatively, be likely to, possible,
     whether or, not necessarily 等。

　　三、选项中照抄原文的一般不是答案项，而同义替换的一般是选项

　　四、选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的（字面意思）一般不是答案项，而概括性的、抽象的、含义深刻的是答案项。
      对了，比较具体的、肤浅的选项都是比较容易判断出来的，如果在原文中有很容易就看出来的选项这时候就要考虑是不是陷阱了！

　　五、选项中较符合常识的,易明白的一般不是选项；而似乎不太合理，一时较难理解的往往是正确选项
      

The Indian finance ministry's mid-year review, released this week, sees the external sector as a silver lining around the country's huge fiscal deficit. "Buoyant" and "encouraging" are the words used to describe three consecutive quarters of current-account surplus--the first in a quarter-century. Add to that swelling foreign-exchange reserves and a stronger rupee, and some are arguing that it is time for drastic liberalisation of India's foreign-exchange regime. They could be disappointed.

For most of the past decade, the nominal value of the rupee has been allowed to decline gently against the dollar, by about 5% a year, thus staying fairly steady in real terms. This year, however, it has been appreciating in real terms (and, since June, nominally as well). It would have done so more sharply had the central bank not been buying dollars with gusto. Exporters of manufactured goods, obsessed with price competition from China, are aghast at the rise--and at the prospect held out by some forecasters that a sustained boom in India's IT exports means it will continue.

The rupee's recent strength is only partly related to India's prowess in software and the mushrooming of "business-process outsourcing" in such projects as call-centres. The chunky surplus on invisibles owes more to remittances: non-resident Indians, attracted by the stability of the rupee and its higher interest rates, have been moving their offshore deposits back home. Similarly, Indian companies are borrowing more in dollars without selling rupees forward to hedge repayments. The trade deficit, meanwhile, has been shrinking, as imports grow slowly.

The inflows have boosted foreign-exchange reserves by some $20 billion this year, to $66 billion, or 12 months'-worth of imports. The size of this cushion has triggered some calls for further liberalisation of the labyrinthine foreign-exchange controls that India still maintains, despite the move in 1993 towards rupee convertibility for trade purposes. In recent months, some controls have duly been eased. It is now simpler, for example, for individuals to open foreign-currency bank accounts, and for travellers to get hold of foreign exchange. And non-resident Indians have been allowed to take out money acquired through inheritance, or from rents and dividends.

Some commentators have taken all this as a harbinger of full capital-account convertibility. That is not on the cards. The experience of 1991, when India ran out of money, has left the central bank prone to caution--an approach it felt was vindicated by the East Asian crisis of 1997-98. With war in Iraq looming and a turbulent oil market, some risk aversion is understandable. India's fiscal deficit--some 10% of GDP and widening--is another reason for moving slowly. Just as one rating agency, Moody's, is considering upgrading India's external debt, another, Fitch, has warned that its local-currency rating is under threat. Nor is it certain that opening the capital account would mean a weaker rupee. It might even attract more capital inflows. As India's exporters are learning, convertibility is a two-way street.
