閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一,其實閱讀測驗的解題並不難,因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法,只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中,有提到“context” (背景),所以文章一定跟背景有關。


  A very strong element of our cultures is context. This refers to our
  environment, particularly how much of it is significant during
  communication.
  In terms of context, there are two types of cultures, i.e., high
5 context cultures and low context cultures. High context cultures
  assign a lot of importance to the environment surrounding a
  message. Some cultures usually put into this category include the
  Japanese, Han Chinese, and Gulf Arab. High context speakers may
  not state a message very directly. The meaning of the message is
10 implied, not expressed. In order to understand what is being said, the
  listener must understand the situation and his or her relationship to
  the speaker. In different situations, a given statement could have very
  different meanings.
  In contrast, low context cultures (such as German and American
15 cultures are said to be) place the highest importance on the message
  itself, which is often quite explicit. External factors like interpersonal
  relationships or family histories do not usually alter the message very
  much. In such cultures, it is common to send a message to a large
  number of people and expect them all to understand the message in
20 the same way.
