閱讀理解復(fù)習(xí)方法：幾乎所有的英語考試都會有閱讀理解這一道題目。據(jù)輔導(dǎo)老師說，MBA聯(lián)考的英語考試中閱讀理解的難度介于大學(xué)英語四、六級考試之間，可見難度并不高，但要拿高分并不容易。做閱讀理解最需要的是耐心和細心。有時候，題目很容易，可是出題人往往會繞一個彎給題目，稍不留意就被“套”了。至于答題技巧，可以采用“倒推法”。先看題目和選項，然后看文章，這樣可以有針對性地閱讀，閱讀的同時把關(guān)鍵的地方用筆勾出來，再看題目的時候，便能夠很準(zhǔn)確地找到問題的答案了。在做閱讀理解時，有一點尤其值得注意：所有問題的答案都要依據(jù)原文，千萬不能隨心所欲、想當(dāng)然，這才是真正的“閱讀理解”。

在MBA聯(lián)考的閱讀理解試題里，有一個筆答題。放心，該題是為不懂英語的人設(shè)計的，只要有起碼的閱讀能力，就能把這道題目做好。

　　1. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
 
　　2. But it will be the driver's responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

　　3. However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it.

　　4. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.

　　5. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could he slowed down.

　　6. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.

　　7. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect （智能） and emotion, and determine the human character.

　　8. Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.

　　9. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.

　　10. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.

　　11. We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you.

　　12. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.

　　13. We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.

　　14. In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth's postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.

　　15. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives. We are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.

　　16. Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.

　　17. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.

　　18. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the
