没有吐槽的四六级不是真的四六级！所以为了让大家脱离四六级的苦海，我们从四级阅读入手，为大家准备了炒鸡炒鸡实用的应试技巧！四级阅读，其实就是套路与反套路~~

Tip One：略读+精读

相信你被老师抢过卷子！因为时间真的不！够！用！

打一毛钱的赌，你一定读完了整篇阅读！你总是担心遗漏重要信息，可事实上，只要你把握重要信息就没有问题。所以在阅读题中，要做到有信息处精读，无信息处略读。

精读部分：数字，人名等信息

略读部分：例证过程，论述过程，名词并列，事件陈述

Tip Two：显性信息

查读的信息通常是显性信息，只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位就能得到正确答案，一般不需要做推理。

特别提示：考生对于以下一些显性信息也应注意

（1） 表示因果关系的词或词组：because， reason， due to， since， so that， therefore等

（2） 表示目的关系的词或词组：in order to， so as to， by等

（3） 表示转折关系的词或词组：but， however， yet等

（4） 表示对比关系的词或词组：contrary to， unlike， like等

While the debate over equal pay in Hollywood continues, Benedict Cumberbatch is making it clear where he stands. In an interview with Radio Times, Cumberbatch said that he wouldn’t take on a role where his female co-star wasn't being paid the same rate. “Equal pay and a place at the table are the central tenets of feminism,” he said. “Look at your quotas. Ask what women are being paid, and say: ‘If she's not paid the same as the men, I'm not doing it.’”

有关好莱坞是否应该同工同酬的争论还未停止，卷福就清楚地表明了自己的立场，合作的女明星如果和他片酬水平不同，就不拍这部电影。卷福说：“同工同酬是女权主义的核心原则。我会看看自己的片酬，然后问问女演员的片酬水平，如果标准不同，那么我选择不拍。”

Cumberbatch also said he hopes that his production company, SunnyMarch, which he runs with Adam Ackland, will produce more films with women at the forefront. “I’m proud that Adam and I are the only men in our production company,” he said. “Our next project is a female story with a female lens about motherhood, in a time of environmental disaster. If it’s centered around my name, to get investors, then we can use that attention for a raft of female projects. Half the audience is female!”

卷福希望自己和阿达姆·阿克兰德(Adam Ackland)一同运作的制作公司SunnyMarch也能拍出更多女性题材的电影，“我很自豪我和阿达姆是公司唯一的男性，接下来我们会拍一部女性电影，以女性视角讲述自然灾害时期有关母爱的故事。如果我当制作人能吸引到投资的话，这样的关注度对我们的女性电影项目也是好的。一半的观众都会是女同胞！”

What will matter?

什么才重要？

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

无论是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。 那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时和分钟。 你收集的所有东西，不管你珍惜或忘记与否，它们都将流入他人手中。

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

不管是你得到的或是你欠别人的，可你的财产、名誉和权势也都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

你的怨恨、愤慨、挫折和妒忌最终也将消失。

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire.The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

因此，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。 当初看得比较重的成功得失也会消失。

你有没有想过，为什么麦当劳和肯德基的标志上都使用了大片红色？热情洋溢的红色让人感到温暖，而且很醒目，但那并不是快餐店标志爱用红色的主要原因。红色究竟隐藏着什么奥妙呢？

McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box... These fast food companies have something in common. Can you spot it？

麦当劳、汉堡王、玩偶匣汉堡店……这些快餐公司有一个共同点，你注意到了吗？

Well, besides all being fast food chains... They're all red. And it's not a coincidence. Color is one of the many tactics companies use to connect with customers. And if swearing off fast food wasn't hard enough, those colorful red logos might make it even harder to ignore.

除了都是快餐连锁店之外，它们的标志都是大红色。这可不是巧合。颜色是企业用来和消费者建立联系的多种策略之一。如果说，戒掉快餐很难，那么想要忽略这些鲜艳的红色标志就更难了。

Fast food companies all use the color red heavily in their logos, why？ The answer goes back thousands of years.

快餐公司都喜欢在标志上使用大面积的红色，为什么呢？答案要追溯到几千年前了。

Please welcome to the Taylor Swift Reputation World Tour stage Selena Gomez, who for the first time since 2015, performed with her good friend Swift during Swift's second show in Pasadena, California. The two sang "Hands to Myself" after Swift teased to the crowd that she was bringing "one of the realest and truest of the friends I’ve had in my entire life" to sing with her:

And after the song, in an exceptional moment, Gomez gave a emotional and personal speech about how much their friendship meant to her to the Rose Bowl crowd of 60,000 people. Gomez told them, with Swift smiling alongside her:

唱完歌，赛琳娜意想不到地讲述了和霉霉的友谊，感人至深，玫瑰碗现场六万观众都在倾听。赛琳娜讲话时，霉霉在一旁微笑。
