锦囊妙计1：出题的顺序性
一般来说，快速阅读题的原文信息源顺序会与题目的顺序相同。这样，准确定位前一题后，就可以顺着原文找到下一题的出处。如果遇到某一题很难定位的情况，千万不可过于纠缠，不妨先查找下一题，再在两题之间的原文进行查找。
锦囊妙汁2：巧妙结合主题定位和关键词定位
快速阅读的文章多以小标题分隔多个部分，而有时两题之间可能相隔了好几个小标题部分，这时，应根据题目主题把题目定位于某个小标题部分之下，再在该部分根据题目的关键词（如专有名词、数字、特殊标点符号等）精确定位。这种方法既保证准确度，又可缩短用时。
「例l」
……
1. Do something new
2. Reclaim life's meaning
3. Put yourself in the fun zone.
Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us， but they manage to find some thing enjoyable in every situation. A real-estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to chants. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care，” she says. “It's a challenge－and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.” We all define fun differently， of course， but I can guarantee this： If you put just a bit of it into yore day， your energy will increase quickly.
4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret
5. Make up your mind
6. Give to get
Q： The real-estate broker the author knows is talented in home redecoration. [2006.12mJ
「解析」题目中的real.estate broker和home redecoration是两种完全不同的工作，由此可以推断该题应该与“日常兴趣”有关，根据这个主题在小标题中寻找，可以快速将本题定位于第3个小标题部分。然后根据题目中的关键词real－estate broker和home redecoration就可以将信息源定位于该部分第3句。该句表明这位房地产经纪人通过在脑子里构思如何装修她给客户看的房子来获得乐趣，并没有说此人是否在房屋装修方面talented，所以答案为NG.通常情况下，NG题的定位比Y／N题的定位都要难，但是通过主题定位结合关键题定位，NG题也可迎刃而解。「答案：NG」
锦囊妙计3：利用长词、难词、生词迅速定位
在阅读理解中，长词、难词和生词常常造成理解的障碍，但是在快速阅读中，它们却是帮助迅速定位信息源的有效工具，这是因为它们比短词和我们熟悉的词更显眼，更能吸引我们的眼光，用于定位正合适。
「例2」
Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the Internet to search out jobs is to conceal their identifies. Replace your name on your resume with a generic （泛指的） identifier， such as “Intranet Developer Candidate，” or “Experienced Marketing Representative.”
You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your tide， it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as “Major auto manufacturer，” or “International packaged goods supplier.”
Q： Applicants are advised to use generic names for themselves and their current employers when seeking employment online. [2007.6/T-/]
「解析」题目除了generic一词外，其他都是我们常见的词，这些词不如生词generic显眼，因此，本题先利用generic一词将信息源定位于上文的第2句，再判断题目是Y就不难了。 「答案：Y」是非判断型
锦囊妙计4：或然还是必然关系——NG与N的区别
有时，我们在判定一道题目为NG还是N时犹豫不决，花费大量时间，其实，NG还是N，并不难区分。只要记住一点：或然还是必然。即，如果根据原文不能判别题目各信息点之间的关系是对或错，那么这个题目就是NG.相反来说，如果根据原文能明确判断题目各信息点之间的关系是错的，答案就是N.「例3」
Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by pro viding shipping routes， it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations， motels， restaurants， and shopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.
Q： Service stations， motels and restaurants promoted the development of the interstate highway system. [2006.6／T7]
「解析」题目中主语和宾语这两个信息点在原文均有提及，但是主语对宾语是否真的能起到“promote”的作用，这在原文是没有提到的，那么，是否应该将本题判定为NG呢？上文首句明确提到了“州际高速公路系统的发展”（即题目中的宾语）对于“加油站、汽车旅馆、饭店”（即题目中的主语）起到促进的作用，可见题目的信息点构成的关系在原文有明确说明，只是题目中的主语和宾语构成的关系与原文正好相反，因此本题应判定为N. 「答案：N」
多项选择型
锦囊妙计5：利用选项的数字定位
快速阅读文章常引用数据，出题者通常会将同时在原文出现的几组数字设置为选项，题干只与其中一个数字相关。遇到这样的考题，我们应该先利用四个选项提到的数字缩小定位范围。再看看哪个数字与题干内容有关，这样比只依据题干：炎键词定位效率更高，找到正确答案的用时也可缩短。
「例4」
Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent， from 800，000 in 1975 to， 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another， but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow， from developed to developing countries， is on the rise， too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well， to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States， 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born， and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad. [2007.12/T3]
Q： In the United States， how many of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born？
A） 10%. B） 20%. C） 30%. D） 38%.
「解析」从上文可见，原文该段有多个数字，而且段落较长，而题干中没有比较突出的关键词，这时不如先利用选项的数字将搜索范围缩小。上文前几行的数字中没有双位数的百分比，利用“数字定位”的方法，即可将范围缩小到原文的一半。接着查找该段余下几行可发现题于中的United States与20 percent有关，即可判定选项B为本题答案。 「答案：B」
锦囊妙计6：见到什么选什么
快速阅读选择题的选项设置有一个显著的特点：正确选项照抄原文，干扰项无中生有、张冠李戴或只是原文的片言只字，因此，此类题型在定位精准后，可以使用“见到什么选什么”的技巧，哪个选项与原文的语句重合最多，它就是正确选项。
「例5」
Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe， more than 140，000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year， taking courses for credit in one of 2，200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States， institutions are helping place students in summer internships （实习） abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way， offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity－and providing the financial resources to make it possible. [2007.12/T4]
Q： How do Yale and Harvard prepare their undergraduates for global careers？
A） They organize a series of seminars on world economy. B） They offer them various courses in international politics. C） They arrange for them to participate in the Erasmus program. D） They give them chances for international study or internship.
「解析」根据题干中的Yale和Harvard可定位上文末句，该句提到了international study OF internship opportunity，选项D重述了这些词，因此就是本题答案。其他选项均属于无中生有，没有原文依据。 [答案：D]

Is There a Perfectly Safe Place to Live In？
Challenging the premise that sparsely settled outer suburbs are safer than cities， a University of Virginia professor has concluded that persons living in rural areas like Fayette County have a higher risk of dying in a traffic accident or being murdered by a stranger than residents of a metropolitan area like Pittsburgh.
William H. Lucy， professor of urban and environmental planning， studied eight urban areas， including greater Pittsburgh， for three to four years to test theories that dictate where people bye and how they decide what is safe.
While raw statistics supported the commonly held theory that the risk of dying by homicide is higher in cities than in rural areas， when Lucy factored in fatal traffic accidents， the statistics showed that life was actually more dangerous for rural residents. There， “people drive farther and faster and on narrow and curvy roads，” Lucy said last week. “Many people kill themselves in single vehicle traffic accidents.”Lucy said he was inspired to do the study by his dislike of sprawl. “We would like to see cities and suburbs revived，”
Lucy said in a phone interview front Charlottesville， Va. “I am interested in questions about what influences where people live. They leave places that they view as unsafe and move to places that they consider to be safe.”
Lucy gathered statistics from Pittsburgh， Baltimore， Chicago， Dallas， Houston， Milwaukee， Minneapolis-St. Paul， Philadelphia and the suburbs and counties surrounding them. In total， he compared 68 counties and cities. Lucy found that Fayette County was 14th most dangerous， based on traffic fatalities and homicides by strangers.
Butler County placed 27th， Westmoreland County was 33rd， Beaver arid Pittsburgh tied for 46th and Allegheny County， excluding Pittsburgh， was 64th， one of the safest. Contrary to commonly held assumptions， Lucy said， the statistics show that persons who live far out in suburbia or in low-density rural areas actually haw， a higher risk of dying a violent death－defined as a fatal car crash or homicide by someone other than a spouse， relative or friend－than persons who live in a city.
Professor Alfred Blumstein， a criminologist at Carnegie Mellon University， called the study "intriguing" but said it did not convince him that urban residents should feel safer than those in rural areas. "In general， homicide rates are higher in the city than the suburbs and the suburbs are higher than rural areas，" he said. From 1997 to 1999， Lucy found， the city of Pittsburgh's homicide rate was 1.3 per 10，000 persons， compared with 0.3 per 10，000 persons in Beaver and Fayette counties and 0.2 in Washington， Westmoreland， Butler and the rest of Allegheny County. lie then refined the numbers to isolate the homicides that were committed by persons who didn't know the victims.
For the same time period， Lucy evaluated the risk of dying in a fatal car crash－which he found was 2 per 10，000 persons in Fayette County， 1.4 per 10，000 in Butler， 1.2 in Washington and Westmoreland and 1 in Beaver. In Allegheny County outside Pittsburgh， the risk was 0.6 per 10，000； Pittsburgh's rate was 0.7 per 10，000 persons.
In each metropolitan area that he studied， Lucy found that the safest counties were those that bordered or rimmed the central city—Baltimore Count）'， Cook County in Chicago， Delaware and Montgomery counties bordering Philadelphia and Allegheny County surrounding Pittsburgh. His study supports the premise that people tend to overestimate the risks of crime while underestimating the risks of driving.
Four years ago， the Post Gazette came to a similar conclusion in a study that found that residents of Fayette and Greene counties were more than twice as likely to die a violent death as residents of Allegheny County. That study was based on an analysis of nearly 25，000 deaths in Pennsylvania during a 10-year period. It found that the single factor that increased the chance of violent deaths was cars. No place is perfectly safe， but some places are more dangerous than others. Whether we live on a floodplain or in “Tornado Alley，” near a nuclear facility or in a neighborhood poorly lit at night， we all co-exist uneasily with natural and man-made hazards.
As Mark Monmonier shows in his entertaining and immensely informative book Cartographies of Danger： Mapping Hazards in America， maps can tell us a lot about where we can anticipate certain hazards， but they can also be dangerously misleading. California， for example， takes earthquakes seriously， with a comprehensive program of seismic mapping， whereas Washington has been comparatively lax about earthquakes in Puget Sound.
But as the Northridge earthquake in January 1994 demonstrated all too clearly to Californians， even reliable seismic hazard maps can deceive anyone who misinterprets "known fault-lines" as the only places vulnerable to earthquakes. Important as it is to predict and prepare for catastrophic natural hazards， more subtle and persistent phenomena such as pollution and crime also pose serious dangers that we have to cope with on a daily basis.
Hazard-zone maps highlight these more insidious hazards and raise awareness about them among planners， local officials， and the public. With the help of many maps illustrating examples from all corners of the United States， Monmonier demonstrates how hazard mapping reflects not just scientific understanding of hazards but also perceptions of risk and how risk can be reduced. Whether you bye on a fault line or a coastline， near a toxic waste dump or an EMF-generating power line， you ignore this book's plain language advice on geographic hazards and how to avoid them at your own peril.
“No one should buy a home， rent an apartment， or even drink the local water without having read this fascinating cartographic alert on the dangers that lurk in our everyday lives…… Who has not asked where it is safe to live？ Cartographies of Danger provides the answer.”
－H. J. de Blij， NBC News“Even if you're not interested in maps， you're almost certainly interested in hazards. And this book is one of the best places I've seen to learn about them in a highly entertaining and informative fashion.”

答案与解析
1.「B」「定位」第2段首句。
「题眼」William H.Lucy，a University of Virginia professor， is an expert in the research of ___________.「解析」根据题目中的人名定位原文后可以知道Lucy是研究urban and environmental plannin9的教授，也就是说，他是这方面的专家，选项B照搬原文内容，为本题答案。其他选项都是无中生有。
2.「8」「定位」第4段。
「题眼」According to Lucy，why do many people kill themselves in single vehicle traffic accidents？
「解析」原文该段两句引自Lucy的语句构成隐藏的因果关系，前为因，后为果，由此看来，选项B重复了第一个引用的语句，为本题答案。其他选项在原文没有提及。
3.「C」「定位」第6段末句。
「题眼」In terms of traffic fatalities and homicides by strangers， Westmoreland County was ranked the ________most dangerous.「解析」本题根据选项的数字可先将定位范围缩小至第6段末句，再根据题眼Westmoreland在其中寻找，不难找到选项C提到的33rd为本题答案。
4.「D」「定位」第8段。
「题眼」What does Professor Alfred Blumstein believe？
「解析」原文该段是唯一与题干的人名有关的段落，从该段末句的city，suburbs和rural areas的比较可以推断选项D的比较关系正确。答题时要注意选项A.它照抄了该段首句句末的宾语从句，但该句的主句but it did not convince him表明Alfred Blumstein对选项A的内容应持否定态度。因此此处要慎用“看到什么选什么”的方法，要小心这种出题的陷阱。
5.「A」「定位」The Post-Gazette concluded that ears were the single factor that increased the chance of violent deaths_____________.「题眼」第11段第2句。
「解析」本题的选项都很短，根据题眼定位了第11段后，我们可以接着从选项人手，在原文查找与它们对应的信息，不难发现，选项A出现在第2句开头。再结合题干的内容可知选项A就是本题答案。虽然选项B和C在原文也有提及。但它们与题干构成的内容不符；而选项D是无中生有。在该段我们找不到这样的表达。
6.「C」「定位」倒数第5段。
「题眼」What do we learn about California described in maps from the passage？
「解析」原文该段不断提到earthquake和seismic两个词，从中只能看到California与选项C的earthquake有关，且从该段末可看到相同的表达。其他选项虽然在上下段有提及，但与题干中的California无关。
7.「D」「定位」倒数第2段。
「题眼」According to H.J.de Blij， Cartographies of Danger provides the answer for those who____________________.「解析」根据题干中的人名定位原文后，可发现题干出现在该段引用部分的末尾，选项D出现在引用部分的倒数第2句，根据“看到什么选什么”的思维，可判断选项D为本题答案。选项A和B中有片言只语来自上几段，但在原文该段找不到相似的词语，因此不能选：选项C无原文依据。
