6月英语四级快速阅读九大答题技巧

答题技巧八： 主宾判定

四级快速阅读中，将题干的句子进行简单分解后，问题中的主语、宾语在原文未出现或被偷换概念是，判定为NG

确定为NG的情况：（1）题目中的表述无中生有

（2）原文中作者的目的、意图、愿望等内容在题目中作为客观事实陈述

（3）将原文中的特殊情况推广为普遍现象

（4）将原文的内容具体化

（5）随意比较原文中的两个事物

答题技巧九：相关信息准确合并

快速阅读文章中有时可能会问到所面临的问题是什么？某事情的原因是什么？等等，这样的问题在文中可能是在不同的位置都有表述，所以考生遇到这样的问题时，不能只局限在某一段里面找答案，可以先做后面的题目，在后面的阅读中发现还有该题的答案时，将相关信息合并后再确定答案

Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish(补充) it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postal.

Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium (隐孢子虫)，a microbe (微生物) that causes fever, diarrhea (腹泻) and vomiting.

[题目] The problems Americans face concerning water are ground water shrinkage and tap water pollution.

[解析]根据上面2段文章，美国人面临水的问题主要有两个：But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater.和Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution.这两句话决定了题目的答案，故为Y
