快速阅读，顾名思义，就是要求考生能够在规定时间内迅速地阅读完文章并正确解答文章后的题目。新六级考试的快速阅读和四级一样一般采用大小标题结合的文章模式，但它的总体难度高于新四级的快速阅读，主要体现在三个方面：
1、从文章的篇幅来看，六级快速阅读长度为1300-1400字，而四级只有1000-1200字，文章的信息量加大，这就对阅读的速度和快速查找信息的能力提出了更高的要求；
2、从命题的形式来看，新六级快速阅读明显加大了主观性题目的考查。在四级快速阅读中，判断题Y/N/NG或者选择题有7道，补全信息的填空题有3道，而在六级考试中，判断题或选择题只有4道，填空题却多达6道，很显然六级考试更能反映一个学生快速阅读的真实能力；
3、从题目本身的难易程度来看，部分新六级的补全信息填空题涉及到对信息的理解和整合，不全是象四级那样“直接照抄原文”就行了，这也是四六级快速阅读的一个重要区别。
快速阅读量大，要在这么短的时间内保证准确率主要取决于能否快速而准确的将题目信息在原文中定位，这就需要考生掌握一些实用有效的信息定位技巧。
一、题目顺序基本与行文顺序一致
一般情况下，快速阅读的题目顺序与原文的行文顺序是基本保持一致的（偶尔会有个别题目顺序会颠倒），把握这一规律，将有助于节省我们寻读的时间，提高定位信息的速度和准确度。
【例 1】（ 07-6）
【原文】
Many people today find themselves in unfulfilling work situations. [1] In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for 2004”survey.Their career path may be financially rewarding, but it doesn’t meet their emotional, social or creative needs. They’re stuck, unhappy, and have no idea what to do about it, expect move to another job.
[2] Mary Lyn Miller, veteran career consultant and founder of the Life and Career Clinic, says that when [3] most people are unhappy about their work, their first thought is to get a different job. Instead, Miller suggests looking at the possibility of a different life. …
Step 1: Willingness to do something different.
Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers.[4] Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesn’t feel right.
Step 2: Commitment to being who you are, not who or what someone wants you to be.
[5] Look at the gifts and talents you have and make a commitment to pursue those things that you love most.
【题目】
1. According to the recent “Plans for 2004”survey, most people are unhappy with their current jobs.
2. Mary Lyn Miller’ job is to advise people on their life and career.
3. Mary Lyn Miller herself was once quite dissatisfied with her own work.
4. Many people find it difficult to make up their minds whether to change their career path.
5. According to Mary Lyn Miller, people considering changing their careers should commit themselves to the pursuit of .
【解析】 [N]。本篇快速阅读 10道题目的设题题眼的顺序与行文顺序完全保持一致。
二、留意小标题和首尾段
定位信息时，首先要留意各个小标题及该标题下的首尾段，这样往往可以迅速缩小搜索范围，更加快速准确地找到题目信息的出处。
【例 2】（07-6-4）
【原文】
Step 1: Willingness to do something different.
Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most difficult tasks for job seekers. Many find it difficult to steer away from a career path or make a change, even if it doesn’t feel right.
【题目】
4. Many people find it difficult to make up their minds whether to change their career path.
【解析】 [Y]。本题的定位信息是 change career path，浏览小标题发现 Step1中的 something different正好与 change相匹配，故很快将本题出处定位在该小标题下，进一步寻读发现第二句即是本题答案的出处。
三、留意题干中的时间、数量等数字信息处
如果题目中包含数字，可以成为很好的题眼，因为数字在文章中一般是以阿拉伯数字的形式出现，比较容易寻找，方便快速定位。
【例 3】 (07-6-1)
【原文】
In fact, one in four workers is dissatisfied with their current job, according to the recent “Plans for 2004”survey.
【题目】
1. According to the recent “Plans for 2004”survey, most people are unhappy with their current jobs.
【解析】 [N]。本题的定位信息是 Plans for 2004，数字 2004很容易让我们将题目出处锁定在第一段第二句。
四、留意人名、地名、机构名称等专有名词
专有名词都是以大写字母开头，与数字信息一样，它们在文章中显得比较突出，比较容易寻找，方便快速定位。但需要注意的是，有时候，该专有名词可能就是文章所讨论的主题，在文章中反复出现，那么就不适宜用来充当定位信息。
【例 4】（新 06-12-1）
Lance Bass of N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment.
【题目】
1. Lance Bass wasn’t able to go on a tour of space because of health problems.
【解析】 [ N]。本题的定位信息是人名 Lance Bass，通过寻读很快将题目出处锁定在第二段，该段第一句话就揭示了答案。
五、留意比较关系
形容词、副词的比较级或最高级，或是表示比较的词语或结构，经常会被作为快速阅读的设题题眼，查读时需重点留意，尤其是题目中含有表示比较关系的词语时。
【例 5】（新 06-12-8）
【原文】
The Most Expensive Vacation
… Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload ( 有效载重 ) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth’s orbit.
【题目】
8. What makes going to space the most expensive vacation is the enormous cost involved in _____.
【解析】 the fuel of spacecraft。本题的定位信息是最高级 the most expensive vacation，通过它很容易将题目出处锁定在小标题 the most Expensive Vacation，进一步寻读发现答案出自该标题下第一段结尾处。
