考研阅读最大的误区就是把考点当技巧，很多人说阅读技巧，实际上那不能是技巧，那是考点。什么叫跳读？本质上就是熟悉了文章套路以后，筛选信息，整理信息的能力，那正是考研的隐性考察。反而全文细读，那不是研究生。再比如完形填空他不考察考生英语能力（因为完形填空的文章相比较阅读是极其简单的），他要考察考生的逻辑思维能力。
再比如，英语一的题干往往不给你出题段，就是要求考生自己筛选信息，这种出题最无耻的一次是2008
38.What do we learn about Thomas Jefferson?
39.Which of the following is true according to the text?
40.Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from his
可以看到后三段没有给出明显的段落信息，导致陷入死循环
其次，考研题材是无所谓的，因为没有人是百科全书，并且考研为了公平性，他绝不可能偏向于某一类考生，因此他在命题时就已经考虑到题材问题。也就是说，题材并不构成考研阅读的难度。
最后是预判文章信息，预判文章并不是盲目预判，而是通过逻辑预判。比如说，2016年，
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $ 15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways.
你读到了加粗那句话，接下来是不是就可以马上进行预判，下面一定说三个方式，那么，下面内容就直接抛弃，读下面一段话。这就是筛选信息的能力。考纲将其表述为，
区分论点和论据
所以，这是考点！考点！考点！而不是技巧。
1. 阅读
考生应能读懂选自各类书籍和报刊的不同类型的文字材料（生词量不超过所读材料总词汇量的3%），还应能读懂与本人学习或工作有关的文献资料、技术说明和产品介等。对所读材料，考生应能：
1）理解主旨要义；
2）理解文中的具体信息；
3）理解文中的概念性含义；
4）进行有关的判断、推理和引申；
5）根据上下文推测生词的词义；
6）理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系；
7）理解作者的意图、观点或态度；
8）区分论点和论据。
最重要是第六条，理解文章上下文关系和总体结构，这就需要考生进行跳读，筛选信息。
难点是第四条，也就是推理。推理本质上是重述。
最后，不需要泛读，泛读是提高阅读能力，不是提高考试能力
Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.
这篇是2010年最后一篇，题材极其冷门。
这一段开头，什么都读不懂都没有关系，至少加粗部分能读懂吧。加粗部分意味着什么呢？
“：”，这是给出答案的标志。their、these是指代，做承上启下的作用。not，指的是对比对照。读到这个程度，这一段直接扔。
Unfortunately, banks’ lobbying now seems to be working. The details may be unknowable, but the independence of standard-setters, essential to the proper functioning of capital markets, is being compromised. And, unless banks carry toxic assets at prices that attract buyers, reviving the banking system will be difficult.
这一段一看，还是啥也看不懂。但是，加粗部分总看得懂吧。Unfortunately是强转折的标志，并且它还有一种情感，表示反对。后面的and，表示前后的顺从关系。
After a bruising encounter with Congress, America’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes. These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement. Bob Herz, the FASB’s chairman, cried out against those who “question our motives.” Yet bank shares rose and the changes enhance what one lobby group politely calls “the use of judgment by management.”
these是指代，表示承上启下，后面的yet是转折。
European ministers instantly demanded that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) do likewise. The IASB says it does not want to act without overall planning, but the pressure to fold when it completes it reconstruction of rules later this year is strong. Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules.
这里的likewise=and，表示与上文并列。后面的not...but，表示不是...而是。
It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of bad debts. The truth will not be known for years. But bank’s shares trade below their book value, suggesting that investors are skeptical. And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.
It....that...，强调句。but转折。
To get the system working again, losses must be recognized and dealt with. America’s new plan to buy up toxic assets will not work unless banks mark assets to levels which buyers find attractive. Successful markets require independent and even combative standard-setters. The FASB and IASB have been exactly that, cleaning up rules on stock options and pensions, for example, against hostility form special interests. But by giving in to critics now they are inviting pressure to make more concessions.
这里的require，表示要求，这个词是一个阅读中极其重要的词汇，后面又出现了一个even，是递进，表示强调，强调就有可能出题。
到这里，虽然我们啥也没有看懂，但是并不妨碍我们做题
36. Bankers complained that they were forced to
[A] follow unfavorable asset evaluation rules
[B]collect payments from third parties
[C]cooperate with the price managers
[D]reevaluate some of their assets.
这里出现了三个词，bankers，complained ，force to，通过三个词进行定位，
Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair.
forced这个词是完全复现，moan和complained 是同意替换。好吧，这句话假如我也没有看懂怎么办？没有关系，看下面那句话
These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.
第一个开头的these，马上提示我，上面那句话讲的是规则。因此答案选择A。
37.According to the author , the rule changes of the FASB may result in
[A]the diminishing role of management
[B]the revival of the banking system
[C]the banks’ long-term asset losses
[D]the weakening of its independence
进行定位，马上可以看到
After a bruising encounter with Congress, America’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes.
但是，并没有发现导致什么。然后看下面一句话
These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement.
你会发现these指代，然后可以看到A、B压根就没有提到。C提到了，但是C不能选。因为题干问的是规则改变导致了什么？但是C选项和规则改变并不构成因果联系。
但是，有人说我连这句话都读不懂。没有关系，还有一个方法，and总认识吧。看and前后部分，前面部分是more freedoom......，后面部分是more flexibility.....。然后C选项刚好处于and的后半部分，因此直接排除。这样答案就是D了。
38.According to Paragraph 4, McCreevy objects to the IASB’s attempt to
[A]keep away from political influences.
[B]evade the pressure from their peers.
[C]act on their own in rule-setting.
[D]take gradual measures in reform.
这句话很好定位，直接
Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules.
ABD三个选项都没有在这句话出现，直接选择C。
39.The author thinks the banks were “on the wrong planet ”in that they
[A]misinterpreted market price indicators
[B]exaggerated the real value of their assets
[C]neglected the likely existence of bad debts.
[D]denied booking losses in their sale of assets.
in that这个词还是需要认识，指的是因为。这句话很好定位
It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets.
这道题选择B。有两个方法，with表示伴随、因果、条件。
40.The author’s attitude towards standard-setters is one of
[A]satisfaction.
[B]skepticism.
[C]objectiveness
[D]sympathy
这是一道局部态度题，关键在于，首先要知道指向谁？这里说了，standard-setters
首先考虑这是最后一段，因为，前面是第四段
To get the system working again, losses must be recognized and dealt with. America’s new plan to buy up toxic assets will not work unless banks mark assets to levels which buyers find attractive. Successful markets require independent and even combative standard-setters. The FASB and IASB have been exactly that, cleaning up rules on stock options and pensions, for example, against hostility form special interests. But by giving in to critics now they are inviting pressure to make more concessions.
这道题理论上必须站在读懂文章的基础上进行。至少要把这段话的最后一句话读懂。因为这句话就是解题线索。所以这道题选择的是D。还有一个方法就是出现sympathy。就优先选择，因为高频。
但是至少这篇文章，我们可以在读不懂文章的前提下，做对四道题。
为什么能做对？不是因为技巧，而是因为踩的都是考点。至少阅读中2/3的题目都是可以通过这种方式做对，甚至文章简单的话，基本都能踩点成功。但是没有什么用，因为一个单词都不认识的人，他的心态不可能是稳定的，也很难确定什么信息有用。
