1.解读文章:这篇文章主要讲了欧洲和美国的工人保险发展历程,文章以时间为顺序进行描述,通过浏览文章的第一遍就可形成这样的感觉,通过文章出现的时间特征的词:the middle of the 19th century、in 1884、By 1908、In 1970等等,这一类的文章,作者往往以某一事物出现和发展的历程为线索,当然这一事物的出现过程中并不是一帆风顺的,其中经历了很多波折和困难,最后作者会谈一下其发展的前景或者分析一下它所面临的困惑、发展到今天仍然存在的问题等。
所以,解题的时候除了抓住时间发展这一特征外,最重要的还是要关注一些几乎每个文章都会出现的关键词,如上文中的:may be /but/as a result of /as well as /For example/had to/as most studies show等等表示因果关系、作者观点、细节题的答案特征。
