阅读一直是考研中分值比重最大，最核心的模块，也是贯穿所有学习阶段的持久战。那么，今天我就来分享一下我曾经的英语老师给讲解的基础阶段的阅读复习策略和阅读方法，希望对考生备考有所帮助。那么，阅读该怎么样去做呢？建议大家用好“基础阅读四步疗法”。
1. “找”：扫描题干，找关键词
题干有两种作用：关键词定位；形成文章主线
2. “读”：通读全文，抓出中心
重点读什么内容呢？首段，其余各段首尾处，转折处。阅读过程中要注意读文章，做标记：表观点态度的词，表逻辑关系的词，题干中专有名词，生词不需做记号。
3. “定”：仔细审题，定位原文
仔细审题：时态，谁的态度
定位原文：每解一道题，就在头脑中搭建一座桥梁，从题干关键词出发，到原文的出处
定位原则：1) 关键词：
① 题干引号
② Line ** Paragraph **
③ 题干选项专有名词，数字，时间
④ 较大词 chromosome
⑤ 题干当中实词的原词/同义词/上下义词，如：child—kid
2) 顺序性：出题顺序&行文顺序基本一致（除主旨、态度题）
4. “叠”：重叠选项，得出答案
做考研阅读很难让你有“一见倾心”的答案，一看到他，心想：就是他了！正确选项要重叠，错误选项也要重叠才能够排除。
来看一道例题：
The researchersstudied the behavior of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They aregood-natured, cooperative creatures, and they share their food tardily. Aboveall, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closerattention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Suchcharacteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. deWaal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys toexchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchangepieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed inseparate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other wasgetting in return for its rock, their behavior became markedly different.
2. Femalecapuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are________.
[A] moreinclined to weigh what they get
[B] attentive toresearchers’ instructions
[C] nice in bothappearance and temperament
[D] moregenerous than their male companions
【解析】我们由题干可以看出，要求找出选择雌性卷尾猴做实验的原因，并且是most probably最有可能的原因，与文中Above all形成对应。由此推定答案应该定位在Above all, liketheir female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to thevalue of “goods and services” than males. 所以答案选择A.
总之，基础阶段的夯实基础的阶段，而阅读是考研英语的重头戏，建议大家在基础阶段多做题，养成正确的做题思路，提高阅读理解能力，为强化阶段的学习奠定坚实的基础。
