1、同等学力英语申硕阅读高分秘籍主讲：范猛阅读理解解题步骤四步走1、 扫描题干，划出关键词（1999年）Passage 6With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent （威慑） to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing
2、evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to
3、crime anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the
4、 life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instan
5、ce should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evide
6、nce which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the m
7、urder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the states murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence（巧合）. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed（
8、否决）, innocent people will be murdered some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.26. The principal purpose of this passage is to _.A. speak for the majorityB. initiate

The first st
13、ep is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary and by studying any graphs, tables, illustrations or charts. The purpose of this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about. In the second
14、 step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as What do I already know about this topic? and What do I want to know? In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of
15、 the 3 Rs) is to read to find the answer to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite (the second of the 3 Rs) the answers to the questions that you formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn ou
