閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱題測驗的的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到”plane”(飛機)、”crash”(墜毀)、”hijack”(劫持)，所以文章一定跟”飛行安全”有關。

Some people are afraid of flying. They are worried that the plane
|
|
|
will crash or that someone may hijack it. People who hijack a plane
|
|
|
usually threaten to kill the passengers or blow up the plane if they do
|
|
|
not get what they want. Hijackers often want money, but sometimes
|
|
5
|
they want other things—to have their friends let out of jail, or to go to
|
|
|
another country.
|
|
|
The first hijacking occurred on June 16, 1948, on a plane
|
|
|
traveling from Macau to Hong Kong. Some men with guns told the
|
|
|
pilot that they wanted money. The pilot tried to fight them off, but the
|
|
10
|
hijackers shot him. The plane crashed into the ocean, and nearly
|
|
|
everyone on it died. Only one man survived. His name was Wong-yu
|
|
|
Man. When the police brought the plane out of the ocean, they
|
|
|
looked at it very carefully. They found bullet holes in its walls. That’s
|
|
|
how they knew there had been a hijacking.
|
|

|
A police officer sat near Wong-yu Man’s bed in the hospital.
|
|
|
Before long, Wong-yu Man started to talk in his sleep. “Where are my
|
|
|
men?” his said. “Are they all right? Did they get the money?”
|
|
|
The police officer wrote everything down. He thought that Wong-yu
|
|
|
was one of the hijackers, and he was right. When Wong-yu came out
|
|
20
|
of the hospital, he went to jail for a long time.
