考点
据考高分专家说，试题“Want to improve your.....”主要考查你对 [广告布告类阅读 ]考点的理解。广告布告类阅读
广告类阅读:1、品味广告的标题，联系平时所积累的知识，为了解材料大意作铺垫。
2、要特别留意广告中包含的数字、联系人、地址等。
3、要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是材料的核心或
至少是一部分内容的概括。
广告布告类阅读特点及解题技巧：
一、广告布告类阅读试题的文体特点：
此类文章不同于其他文体的文章，其目的是为了向读者传输信息，措辞简洁明了，直截了当，一般说来，广告布告类阅读试题具有以下特点：
1、选材特点：
信息量大，文句精炼，形式灵活，用最少的篇幅表达最大量的信息。
2、内容特点：
生活化，实用化，多样化，如产品宣传、服务介绍、通知、海报、启示、招生招聘等。
3、形式特点：
标题醒目，重点突出，条理清晰，常用粗体字或各类项目符号使文章结构更鲜明。
4、语言特点：
人名、地名、专有名词多；生词多；缩略词、祈使句、省略句多；结构不完整。
5、命题特点：
主要考察考生提取信息和处理信息的能力，既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合，又注重推理判断题的考查，题目设置相对较容易。
二、解题技巧点拨：
阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下：
1、先题后文：
先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。
2、题干定向：
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。
3、生词模糊：
遇到生词；如无关答题，直接跳过；涉及答题，则根据语境、构词法等猜词。
4、信息补全：
对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
