题1:Over the past three decades, the enrollment of overseas students has increased _____.
A) by 2.5 million
B) by 800,000
C) at an annual rate of 3.9 percent
D) at an annual rate of 8 percent
解析:由于选文的行文格式不是很明显的数字排列模式,故设题多以数字、年代、专有名词等为考点。此题的题眼为"three decades, enrollment, overseas students",故锁定第三段中"Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, ..."即在过去的30年中,离开家乡到海外求学的学生人数以每年3.9%的比率增长。故选C)。
题2:The dramatic decline in the enrollment of foreign students in the U.S. after September 11 was caused by ________.
解析:此题根据专有名词"September 11",锁定倒数第二段中"In the wake of September 11,changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S. universities, ..."即"9.11事件"之后,签证程序有了变化,赴美求学的学生减少了很多。故此题答案应该是changes in the visa process。总之,快速阅读的解题核心技巧是用最快的速度抓住文章最重要的内容以及题目所涉及到的内容。这要求考生在阅读时要有选择性:该读的读,不该读的跳。具体来说,首要的是要掌握不同题材选文的篇章结构特点,在篇章的层次上能够判断一篇文章重要的段落在哪儿,跳过不重要的段落;在句子的层面上能够分清哪部分重要,哪些应该略过。
