| 題型 | Skim 略讀重點 | Scan 掃讀重點 | 得分密技 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 主旨題 | 看全文首段、末段、各段首句 | 不需掃細節 | 選項若有「過度具體」的細節,通常不是主旨 |
| 細節題 | 先掌握文章位置 | 尋找題目關鍵字(人名、數字、年份) | 找到關鍵字後,讀前後兩句即可 |
| 推論題 | 閱讀段落邏輯與轉折詞 | 定位題幹出現的句群,找 line of reasoning | 答案多半藏在轉折詞(but, however)之後 |
| 字彙題 | 看單字所在句的上下文 | 搜尋同一概念的上下義詞 | 不要直接代入答案,要檢查前後搭配 |
| 指代題(it/they/this) | 略懂段落主題 | 往前找最近出現的「名詞」 | 若遇兩個名詞,看動詞單複數判斷 |
| 作者態度題 | 注意表情詞(positive/negative) | 掃描語氣副詞(surprisingly, unfortunately) | 選項常以「客觀」當陷阱,實際需看轉折 |
| 段落功能題 | 判斷該段在全文中的位置 | 不必逐句讀 | 開頭段是「引入」,結尾段是「結論」 |
| 排除題(NOT/EXCEPT) | 快速記憶各段主旨 | 逐一核對選項關鍵字 | 先刪除明顯有提的,再比對模糊選項 |
| 數據表格題 | 了解表格標題與欄位 | 對照題目要求的行列 | 注意單位(miles vs km)和時間範圍 |
| 長篇新聞 | 看導言(lead)段 | 找 5W1H(what, where, when…) | 新聞主旨必在導言,細節在後段 |
| 學術文章 | 閱讀摘要、結論 | 搜尋研究對象、樣本數、數據 | abstract 多為主旨,方法與結果用 Scan 找 |
| 書評/影評 | 看作者意圖與評論對象 | 搜尋評價詞(masterpiece, disappointing) | 注意比較結構(unlike, whereas) |
例題 1(Skim 主旨題)
"Studies show that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to catch colds. However, researchers also found that oversleeping—more than nine hours—can lead to similar risks. Therefore, the key to health is maintaining a balanced sleep duration, not simply sleeping as much as possible."
Question: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More sleep is always better.
B. Both too little and too much sleep are harmful.
C. Sleep duration has no effect on health.
D. Six hours is the perfect sleep time.
解析:利用 Skim 快速看首尾句,首句說少睡易感冒,第二句用 However 說多睡也有風險,末句 therefore 說明平衡才是關鍵,所以主旨是 B。選項 A 過度簡化,C 相反,D 過度解讀。
例題 2(Scan 細節題)
"Mr. Chen's class visited the National Museum of Marine Science on March 12. They saw a blue whale skeleton that was 27 meters long. According to the guide, the skeleton was discovered near Hualien in 2015 and has been displayed since 2018."
Question: When was the blue whale skeleton discovered?
A. 2015
B. 2018
C. March 12
D. 27 meters
解析:題目關鍵字為 "discovered" 與年份,Scan 掃描數字與大寫時間,發現 "discovered near Hualien in 2015",因此 A。B 是展示時間,C 是參觀日,D 是長度。
