2009年12月英語六級(jí)真題精講：快速閱讀
在做快速閱讀時(shí)，考生需要很熟練地找到關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)，不止要找到相應(yīng)的句子還要看上下句，同時(shí)要注意有些題在解題時(shí)需要轉(zhuǎn)換，也就是改寫原文，改寫最常見的手段是詞性的變化，里面是形容詞答案當(dāng)中可能會(huì)變成副詞或者是名詞，這就需要了解基本的構(gòu)詞法，如動(dòng)詞加上ment就變成了名詞。

【原題】7.According to marketing director Jack O'Hern, teleworking enabled the company to.
A)minimise its office space
B)keep highly qualified staff
C)enhance its market image
D)reduce recruitment costs
【快速解題】7.B)。關(guān)鍵詞marketing director Jack O'Hern可以幫助考生迅速定位到相應(yīng)段落，這一段中說遠(yuǎn)程辦公能讓員工效率加倍， "This is great for her, and for us as we retain someone highly qualified."，也就是說，此舉的目的是留住人才，正確答案為B。
【原題】8.Wright Vigar's practice of allowing for more flexible working hours not only benefits the company but helps improve employees' ______________.

【原題】9.With fast, wireless internet connections, employees can still be ______________ while traveling.
【快速解題】tive考生可在關(guān)鍵詞With fast, wireless internet connections的指引下找到原文"With Wi-Fi (fast, wireless internet connections) popping up all over the place, even on trains, our fee-earners can be productive as they travel..."， 題目中的employees與原文中的fee-earners意思是一樣的，考生便很容易判斷出productive就是正確答案了。
