经典语篇模式三：结果原因/现象成因
阅读指导：探讨某种现象的原因的文章是考试阅读中经常遇到的。它属于说明文。这类文章往往先引入某种现象或状况：可能是社会现象或某一方面问题的状况，也可能是自然现象，然后探讨为什么会有这种现象或状况，即产生的原因。在阅读这类文章时首先要确定讨论的现象或状况，然后梳理清楚作者所列举的若干原因。
的统计数字反映的情况真实，这说明D项“没有反映出经济的真实状况”之意也不对。A项的考点是单词“exclude(排除)”和“rebound(反弹)”以及短语“business cycle(商业周期)”；B项的考点是短语“fall short of(达不到)”和单词“anticipation(预期)”;C 项的考点是单词“meet(达到)”和短语“expectation(期望)”;D项的考点是单词“fail(没能)”和“reflect(反映)”以及短语“the true state of...(……的真实状况)”。
经典语篇模式四：对比与比较
阅读指导：对比(contrast)和比较(comparison)模式的文章也是考试阅读中经常出现的。文章通过对比或比较来说明两个事物间的不同之处或某些相似点。对比或比较的写作方式一般有两种：一种是分开比较模式，即先论述甲事物的特点或状况再论述乙事物的，可简述为“A+B”模式；另一种为交替比较模式，即对事物的几个方面进行逐项比较，可简述为“A/B+A/B”模式。在阅读这类文章时要注意文章在哪几个方面进行了比较，哪些是不同点，哪些是相同点。
经典语篇模式五：议题+观点+论证
阅读指导：这类文章往往是作者就某一话题发表自己的观点，然后加以论证。阅读这类文章要注意以下几点：①文章的话题是什么？②作者就这一问题提出了什么样的观点？③作者用了哪些主要事实来证明自己的观点？
经典语篇模式六：错误观点+异议+证明/议论
阅读指导：这类文章在考试阅读中出现频率很高，属于论说文中的驳论。作者通常在文章一开始就介绍一种对某一问题的流行观点，然后表示异议或直接表明不同的观点。接着用事实论证流行观点的错误所在或通过议论驳斥流行观点，支持自己的论点。在阅读这种类型的文章时我们要注意以下几点：①所引述的流行观点或他人的观点是什么？②作者的观点或态度是什么？是赞成还是反对？要注意区分作者的观点和他人的观点。一般来说，一些转折词语往往是作者的观点和流行的观点的分界线，如：However/But/Nevertheless/As a matter of fact等。③作者用了哪些论据来反驳流行的观点或证明自己的观点
(三)排序题的解题技巧
1.按照大纲样题所给的情况，如果五道题目全部选择同一个答案的话，这种题目就至少可以做对一道，获得2分。
按照大纲样题所给的情况，这种题目往往只需要做对四个就可以了，最后一个答案不用做就水到渠成。
如果在给出两个正确答案的情况下，如果最后剩余两个答案没有做出，而自己又没有太大把握，为了保险起见，可以在最后的两个答案中任意选择一个字母，两道题目均选此字母，这样至少可以选对一道题。
这种题目在做对一道的情况下，每道题目可以选择的概率分别是P51 , P41 , P31 , P21, P11
在这种数学概率的情况下，对于我们的提示就是尽量先确定答案线索比较明确的题目的答案。不用按照题目的顺序答题。

The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box.

"I just don't know how to motivate them to do a better job. We're in a budget crunch and I have absolutely no financial rewards at my disposal. In fact, we'll probably have to lay some people off in the near future. It's hard for me to make the job interesting and challenging because it isn't --it's boring, routine paperwork, and there isn't much you can go about it.
"Finally, I can't say to them that their promotions will hinge on the excellence of their paperwork. First of all, they know it's not true. If their performance is adequate, most are more likely to get promoted just by staying on the force a certain number of years than for some specific outstanding ace. Second, they were trained to do the job they do out in the streets, not to fill out forms. All through their career it is the arrests and interventions that get noticed.
"I've got a real problem with my officers. They come on the force as young, inexperienced men, and we send them out on the street, either in cars or on a beat. They seem to like the contact they have with the public, the action involved in crime prevention, and the apprehension of criminals. They also like helping people out at fires, accidents, and other emergencies.
