1）题型特点阅读理解题主要测考生把握文章主题思想和大意的能力，对文章中的重要情节和主要事实的理解程度，对文章的格调、作者的观点态度等的推理判断能力。专升本的阅读理解部分由5篇短文构成 每篇短文的平均长度为300词左右，5篇短文共20个小题，每小题3分共60分，阅读理解题的短文是一般性的社会，文化，经济，科普，和日常生活等等方面的内容。丰富的课外知识有时也有意外的帮助作用，文章的体裁包括记叙文、议论文、说明文和应用文等。这部分是整个考试占分比例最高的部分，占总成绩的40%，所以是复习的重点。
2）解题步骤（1）大致浏览文章（两到三分钟），迅速判断文章题材，记叙文要找出文章的四要素，抓住故事情节；议论文和说明文偏重首段尾段侧重首尾句，因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点，主题或中心思想，抓住了主干，那么细节问题就会迎刃而解了。
（2）带着问题细读文章，只关注与问题相关的部分。把问题分成三类，对于不同的问题题型有针对性地采用不同的解题方法。细节题在文章中能直接找到答案的，争取全部答对；主旨大意题和词汇题合理运用各种判断方式争取答对一半以上；推理题和作者态度题尽力而为。

Shopping is not as simple as you may think！There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular br(品牌) of product on the shelf.
5Coloring，for example，varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens，yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue expensive goods，like chocolates，are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently， researchers found that the colors turned the customers off6because they made the product look weak ineffective. Eventually，it came on the market in a dark blue white package-blue because we think of it as safe，white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend，on average， 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging！
The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap，who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods，came to the conclusion： “Any fool can make soap，but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it.”
