四、六級考試將從2013年12月考次起將進行題型的“局部調(diào)整”。雖然這次改革并不能算得上一次巨大的改革，但新題型的考法相對之前還是有一定的變化。針對閱讀版塊，傳統(tǒng)閱讀依舊傳統(tǒng)，快速閱讀卻變成了長篇閱讀。考查形式從過去多元化的Y, N, NG、句子填空、多項選擇轉變成了十個句子的信息匹配。下面，就大綱樣題一起來分析下，找找新舊閱讀的異同。

　　樣題Universities Branch Out來自于2007年12月四級真題的快速閱讀原文。這符合本次改革官方說法"原快速閱讀理解調(diào)整為長篇閱讀理解，篇章長度和難度不變。"而題目實則與之前考法異曲同工。匹配題主要在于定位，則就定位我們遵循專有名詞，數(shù)詞，連字符詞，動賓結構，題干新信息等之前課上講的定位原則，具體我們以樣題來操作。

Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America's best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.

The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4300-square-meter laboratory seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu's Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducing from a word-class scientist and his U.S. team.

　　51. The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharply after September 11 due to changes in the visa process.

　　原文：

In the wake of September 11,changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S.

　　52. The U.S. federal funding for research has been unsteady for years.

　　原文：

　　G For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research university model. Most politician recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003,but has risen more slowly than inflations since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.

Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of his model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.

　　54. Present-day universities have become a powerful force for global integration.

　　原文：

　　A As never before in their long story, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantages. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.
