——中科院考博英语6选5解题方法
考博英语中的阅读，除了常规的选择题，还有一些特殊的出题方式，如问答题，选句填空或排序题等。其中有不少院校采用了选句填空题，即一篇文章有几处留空，需要从备选的几个选项中将相应的句子或句群甚至段落填入文章的留空处，如中科院、社科院、南开大学，中央党校、山东大学、中山大学、安徽大学，宁波大学等的考博英语试题。
当然，各个学校考查的具体方式有所不同，如中科院就是6选5选句填空的题型，社科院和南开大学则是7选5，中央党校是5选5，还有的甚至是10选5不等。但不管具体是几选几，这种题型首先是考查的目的都是基本机同的，那就是考查考生对英语阅读基础理解能力——读懂句意，通过句子之间的关系概括段落大意，通过段落和段落的联系把握文章的思路从而总结文章的主旨大意。
这个能力其实应该也是常规的英语阅读理解的基础，只是选句填空更加注重考查句子之间，段落之间的逻辑关系。因此这种题型的解题步骤和方法也是有别于常规的阅读理解的。
根据各院校的选句填空题型，总结出命题的几大特点：
- 内容的衔接最可靠。
- 把握用词线索。
- 填任何空
了解了命题特点，在做题时就应当采用有效的解题方法，以提高做题的命中率。通常，解题可以分为以下两个步骤进行：
首先，读文章了解大意划出关键词句：
快速浏览全文，力求对文章内容做一个概括了解，并划出段落要点词句，重点阅读空白前后。由于文章中空缺了几处，而且有时缺的是几句话甚至是一整段，文章的整体结构和逻辑可能是被打断了的，因此在短时间内掌握文章要点或逻辑思路有困难，此时所要做的只是尽力了解文章的基本内容即可，重点读懂空白前后的句子（有时候是一句，有时候不止一句），明白前后表述的内容，划出关键词。
然后，读选项利用各种线索答题：
逐一阅读选项，利用意思衔接，词语线索判断，带入阅读，先易后难。线索明显的可以先填，逐渐缩小可选范围，直到最终填完。
中科院十几年来一直保有选举填空6选5题型，最近有学员问及这个题型的解题策略，下面以中科院考博英语2012年6选5第一篇举例说明解题步骤和方法。
In June 2006, in Minato, Tokyo, a 16-year old high school student was killed by a Schindler elevator. He was backing out of it with his bicycle when the elevator suddenly rose with the doors still open, crushing his skull. Investigations began related to this fatality.
In the process of this investigation, the safety of elevators in Japan came under question. 66 The Japan Elevator Association disclosed that 9200 entrapments happened in Japan in 2004 in elevators of the big four Japanese elevator manufacturers ( Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi, Toshiba, and Fujitec).
Results from a recent investigation in Hiroshima showed that 34% of Schindler elevators in the city have had problems. 67
As of June 14, 2006, the precise cause of the accident had still not been confirmed. 68 The International Herald Tribune reported on June 14 that "loose bolts and worn brake pads, evidence of poor maintenance, likely played a central role in the elevator accident."
69 The Asia Times Online reports that in response to a flood of inquiries from customers, the third-largest domestic elevator company, Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp. is offering free inspections of their elevators, while Mitsubishi Electric Corp. , the leading firm, and HitachiLtd, which is the second-largest, are responding to requests on a case-by-case basis.
In Hong Kong, many news agencies are finding similarities between the Minato case and the 2002 falling Hong Kong case. Thus, Hong Kong's Public Housing Authority has been questioned about the 33 public estates with Schindler elevators. 70 In comparison, Hong Kong law requires a full annual examination every year, load testing every 5 years, and an inspection every month. Some buildings have inspections every 2 weeks.
A. There is a reported competition among elevator operators in Hong Kong, with some buildings opting to contract elevator maintenance to firms that offer low rates.
B. The Housing Authority has said that all of its elevators are maintained by the original manufacturer (in Hong Kong's case, by "Schindler Lifts Hong Kong Limited" ) and all elevators are inspected fully once every week.
C. It should be noted that elevator maintenance had been carried out by a Japanese maintenance company and not by Schindler since 2005.
D. That elevators are not infallible came as a surprise to many people, especially when it was discovered that of the 8,800 Schindler elevators installed in Japan, 85 have trapped people.
E. Japan has already ordered full inspections of the country's entire set of Schindler elevators, with elevators of all manufacturers being inspected in government buildings.
F. Public concern over the Minato case has not been limited merely to Schindler elevators.
