小编建议：
注意超前判断的选项。所谓超前判断指的是文章中还没有得出结果，明确得出结论，在题支中就得出了结论/结果，弄错时态，把现在的说成将来的，把过去的说成现在的，把将来完成的说成现在完成的，把可能的说成已经的等不一而足。当然别把它和推理出来的答案搞混了。
排除喧宾夺主的选项。喧宾夺主也就是主次颠倒，没有弄清主次关系。通俗讲，就是在阅读理解中，对于问题中的题支，能够在文中找到相对应的部分或者是句子，但是只有一个是最主要的，其他表述都是次要的，这个主要的就是围绕问题展开叙述的。
真题模拟：
The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.
Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of 47,000 dollars for a family of four.
Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9 to l1 year olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre-school had better literacy , language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre-kindergarten were better than one.
Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education.
