其次，快速阅读全文。
带着问题，尽量快速地阅读完整个文章，如果遇到了与某问题相关的材料，就用铅笔划出来，并写上题号，然后继续往下阅读。阅读中如果遇到了不懂的句子，不要停下来去深思熟虑。这一步骤的目的是对文章的内容结构有一个总体的了解，知道一些重点词、事实或有关材料在文中的位置。
第三，重读问题。
重新阅读问题，理解问题，并与文中相关的材料相对照。此时，每次要阅读一个问题，并弄懂问题。如果读了问题后，能在原文中找到相关的材料，就要重读一次相关材料，并可依此作出选择。这一步骤的目的就是将较容易的问题选择完，以便能更集中精力解决较难的问题。
第四，重新阅读全文。
这是第二次也是最后一次阅读全文，应带着问题（尤其是还未解决的问题）一字不漏地读完全文。这次阅读与第二步骤的阅读不同，因为此时已对文章有了总体的理解，所以这遍阅读将会注意到文章中的一些细微之处，将有助于解答难题。
最后，再次阅读尚未解决的问题。
对于仍未解决的问题，此时应再次认真理解并依照对文章的更透彻的理解，做出最终的选择。
㈤ 典型试题剖析：
①
America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways----education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of American has made us a very different society----one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president of a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother - or my father - was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
1. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _______.
A has made people feel younger
B has changed people’s social position
C has changed people’s understanding of age
D has slowed down the country’s social development.
分析：这是考查主旨大意的深层理解题。文章第一段最后一句“…people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages”点明了主题。文章后两段也是围绕着这一主题展开叙述的：人口老龄化给社会，特别是给人们对年龄问题的理解带来了变化。所以C项是正确答案。
2. The underlined word “one” refers to ________.
A a society B America C a place D population
分析：这是词义理解题。one代替的是上文中提到的一个名词。是指different society，而不是指不同社会，所以，A项为正确答案。
3. “Act your age” means people should _________.
A be active when they are old
B do the right thing at the right age
C show respect for their parents young or old
D take more physical exercise suitable to their age
分析：这也是词义理解题。“Act your age” 是第一段最后一句所提到的an idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages（在不同的年龄，什么样的行为是合适的），也就是B项所表示的：the right thing at the right age.此处的right就是suitable的意思。所以正确答案是B。
4. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________.
A normal B wonderful C unbelievable D unreasonable
分析：这是推理判断题。要求推测作者的态度。第二段最后两句话与最后一句话都反映了作者的态度。由于人们对年龄问题的看法发生了变化，25岁的年轻人成为一家大公司的经理，已不再是稀罕事。所以正确答案为A.

At 9:00 * Spivak’s bank telephoned and said his payment was late. “ The check is in the post,” * replied quickly. At 11:45 * left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad. That evening, *’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. “ It looks just great on you,” he said.
Three lies in one day! Yet * Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth caused too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote, “ All men are born truthful and die liars.”
