很多考生在平时练习时习惯边读文章边在题目上划线，似乎不做记号 ，思维就无法跟上阅读的速度，但是到了真正上机考试，不能对文章做记号的时候，考生难免会乱了阵脚。

　　有些考生因为时间紧，所以根本没等读完全文就直接做题，这种抱着侥幸心理的考生真的上了考场其实是很危险的，因为单凭对文章局部的理解，根本无法掌握文章的整体内容和观点。

　　而还有一些考生必须把文章一字不漏的阅读和翻译之后才能做题，往往忽视了阅读的速度，这种细读的方法之适用于两种情况：一种是考生已经具备相当强的阅读水平，而且长期运用这种方法，另外一种是这篇文章是你曾经读到过的，即使一字一句的读也不会花太多时间。

　　很多人都认为词汇题的做的好不好完全取决于自己的词汇量，事实上词汇量是占了相当一部分比重，但是不知道大家是否有过这样的经历，有时候不认识的词经过对上下文的理解和分析也可以作对，反而是那些认识的词汇经常出错，这是因为大家在面对自己有把握的词汇时，往往忽略了上下文的重要性，凭感觉选出了一个自认为理所当然的答案。所以，做好词汇题的关键就在于透彻分析上下文，有时候，个别词汇题也许需要在文章其他段落寻找线索。

　　其实阅读部分不仅是测试大家对文章的理解，还包括阅读的速度，这两方面都不能被忽视，光是具备扎实的基础还远远不够，还需要搭配运用巧妙的做题技巧才能取得阅读高分。

They may be no less serious than traditional courses, butthey certainly cover new academic ground.
