ACT閱讀考試時間緊，任務重，部分同學在面對考試題目時往往抓不住重點，導致失分，成績相對不夠理想。所以如果能夠在ACT閱讀考試中抓住重點，分數就能夠有一定的提升。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關于ACT閱讀考試需要攻破的三大難關，希望對大家有所幫助。
難關一：長難句理解
接觸過act閱讀的同學都會感受到，在做題時，是根據題目中的關鍵信息或者信號回原文定位的，根據定位的原文內容推理得出題目答案。大多數情況下，定位的內容都是一個長難句，我們只有在讀懂了長難句之后，才能把題目做出來。因此，長難句是一個突破點。
Tips:每讀完一篇文章，劃出里面所有的長難句，進行句子結構劃分，每天劃分5-10句長難句，這樣堅持下來，閱讀長難句的能力一定會有提升。
難關二：閱讀順序
ACT閱讀考試4篇文章的出現順序如下：小說、社會科學、人文科學、自然科學。閱讀的第一步就是把握閱讀順序，最容易入手的為科學類的文章，尤其是自然科學的文章結構類型和題目設置很標準。
Tips:先做自然科學，最后做小說和人文科學
難關三：做題技巧
ACT閱讀的題型可以分為下面三大類：
1. 直接事實題：此類題目一般是就文中所提供的信息進行直接提問，需要考生找到正確的對應處，并作同義轉換。
原文： “The revisionistinterpretation, which I support, does not enshrine dinosaurs as paragons ofintellect, but it does maintain that they were not small brained after all.They had the “right-sized” brains for reptiles of their body size.”
題目：According to the passage, what is the revisionist interpretation concerning the relationship between intelligence and physical size?
A. Dinosaurs actuallyhad relatively large brains.
B. Dinosaurs wereparagons of intellect.
C. Dinosaurs wererelatively small brained.
D. Dinosaurs’ brainswere appropriately sized.
答案：D
分析：直接事實題根據文章內容，做直接的同義轉換，此處將right-sized改寫為appropriately sized，屬于正確改寫。而A選項將其改寫為relatively large，不正確
注意：直接事實題常見錯誤選項的特點為故意丟失not，如B選項中的paragons of intellect與文章相同，但是丟失了not，因此具有一定迷惑性。同樣，C選項中的small brained也與文章完全相同，但也故意丟失了not。
2. 舉例作用題
此類題目就文中的例子進行提問，需要回答此例子在文中所起的作用
原文： “Government is sotechnical that even career civil servants cannot explain
what is happening. In1978 I attended a seminar on federal estate and gift tax, where
the Internal Revenue Service lawyers responsible for this area frankly confessed that
they did not understand the Tax Reform Act of 1976.”
題目：The author uses the description of the tax seminar in 1978 to make thepoint that some governmental issues are:
A. so technical thatnot even career civil servants can understand them.
B. so technical thatonly career civil servants can understand them.
C. more technicalthan they used to be before the passage of the Tax Reform Act.
D. too technical foranyone other than an Internal Revenue Service tax lawyer to understand.
答案：A
分析：作者在文中描述一個例子的作用就是為了證明一個結論，所以，舉例作用題的答案為例子之前或之后的結論句。一般，由for example開頭的例子，結論句在之前。如果例子結束后出現therefore，則therefore之后為結論句。本題結論句在例子之前，即Government is so technical that even career civil servants cannotexplain what is happening. 通過同義改寫，得到A選項。B選項錯誤原因依然是故意丟失not。
注意：舉例作用題常見錯誤選項為選項中重現例證中原文，比如此題的C, D選項中出現的Tax Reform Act和Internal Revenue Service。
3. 推論題
此類題目與直接事實題不同，不是就文中的信息進行直接的提問，而是考查作者所寫的某處內容實際暗示了什么。
原文：“The remarkable thingabout dinosaurs is not that they became extinct, but that they dominated theearth for so long…”“People, on thiscriterion, are scarcely worth mentioning—5 million years perhaps sinceAustralopithecus, a mere 50, 000 for our own species, Homo sapiens…”
題目：In the context of the passage, what does the author mean when he states that “people … are scarcely worth mentioning” (lines 81-82)?
A. Compared to thecomplex social behavior of dinosaurs, human behavior seems simple.
B. Compared to thelongevity of dinosaurs, humans have been on earth a very short time.
C. Compared to thesize of dinosaurs, human seem incredibly small.
答案：B
分析：解答推論題時方法如下：1)如果定位句位于段首，或定位句后有冒號，破折號時，往后找答案。2)如果定位句中有this等代詞時，則往前找答案。3)如果定位句既位于段首，句中又有代詞，則同時讀句前和句后，并作比較，得出答案。
此題屬于第三種情況，讀上文，知“恐龍占據地球的時間如此之長”;讀下文，得“人類，在這種標準下，不值得一提”。兩者相比，人類在地球上的生存時間比恐龍短，所以正確答案選B。
