2.关键词定位、圈定文中逻辑关系词、依次而下确定出题区域
考生可以借助题干中的关键词Americans，humiliated，affect the life of ordinary Americans，Europeans等通读全文，圈定关键词和逻辑关系词(因果、转折、举例等)。
(Passage 3)The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency.(No.52) It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy-from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami-for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. (No.53)
(Passage 4)Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. (No.54) Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking.
(Passage 5、6)此两段为举例，而举例在六级考试中通常起到说明的作用，用于证明所要阐述的观点，一般不考查。
(Passage 7)American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect. (No.55)
3.利用初步划定的各题区域，运用排除等方法解题
解答52题“Why do Americans feel humiliated?”，考生需要理解The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency.而句中提到美元的贬值是屈辱的来源，换句话说，屈辱的原因是美元的贬值，这个意思正好暗合C选项Their currency has slumped。
