本文老师继续给大家分享阅读技巧，希望在复习得后期大家能够掌握方法，不要再进行题海战术了。下面继续讲解考研英语阅读的错误选项特征总结：断章取字面意思。希望从这个层面的分析中，可以在做2016考研英语阅读的时候，帮助大家迅速排除干扰项，选出正确答案。下面请仔细结合真题分析。

断章取字面意思：

例如1.真题 2013 text3 (英语二)①But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm. ②Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. ③We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing. ④Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.

32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions____.

[B] are not unconscious

[D] are not impulsive

解析：文中第三句出现了unconsciously 和impulses，但是这个句子是个肯定句，而选项B和D是两个否定句，这两个选项只是很牵强的取用了unconsciously和impulses这两个词 但是所表达的意思和文章第三句没有关系，故而都排除。

例如2.真题 2004 text4 ①Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across Bodybuilder, a job database on the Internet. ②He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent.”

41. How did Redmon find his job?

[A] By searching openings in a job database.

解析：文中第一句出现了 job database，但是这个词语是作为同位语解释前面的Bodybuilder, 文中第二句紧接着就说He searched it with no success ，所以选项A表述不正确，断章取义说他找到工作就是By searching openings in a job database是不正确的，故而排除。

例如3.真题 2007 text1 ①…conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one.

23. According to Ericsson, good memory

[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.

解析：选项B中的 X rather than Y结构等同于文中more .A..than ..B，但是X=B,Y=A, 这个选项并不对等。出题老师以为断章取义把这两个词放在同一句中就可以迷惑大家。希望考生们在做题目时一定要仔细。

通过上面的讲解，我们了解到，如果选项中出现了原文中的词汇，一定要好好和原文进行比较。切莫一看有了原词，马上选择。我们考研阅读的精髓就是同义替换，所以，有了原词一定不是答案，这是迷惑大家的选项。希望马上就要上战场的同学们要注意这个陷阱。
