1.跳跃式阅读
跳跃式阅读所要跳跃的内容当然是和文章中心没有太多联系的内容。如对某一专家的头衔说明，这类文字内容与文章的中心虽不相关，却会经常会在文中出现。
如1990年的试题， Passage 2
......
“but there is a growing awareness that this is not enough,”says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers.
如1988年试题，Passage 3

It might be argued that the house-proud woman would still find plenty to do about the home. That may be so, but it is certainly no longer necessary for a woman to spend her whole life cooking, cleaning, mending and sewing. Washing machines take the drudgery out of laundry, the latest models being entirely automatic and able to wash and dry a large quantity of clothes in a few minutes. Refrigerators have made it possible to store food for long periods and many pre-cooked foods are obtainable in tins. Shopping, instead of being a daily task, can be completed in one day a week.

二、通用两点答题法
对于考研阅读试题，由于客观试题本身对选项的要求——解的唯一性和选项间的不可争议性（如果不具备这两个性质，试题也就不具有其本身的客观性了）。而社会科学本身不同于自然科学，有非常明确的界限。命题人为了避免两者之间的冲突，所选文章通常具有以下两大特点：
① 文章中心单一、突出，即整个文章的说明或论述均紧紧围绕一个中心进行。
② 作者对所描述或论述的事物持有的态度褒贬分明（当然，客观描述某些事件的态度除外，因为作者态度是客观的，当然就不会添加个人的褒贬之态）。
