3. 寻读法
所谓“寻读”，就是通过目光扫视，以最快的速度从一篇文章中披沙拣金，迅速寻找出你所期望得到的某一具体情况、数据等。以日常生活为例。假如你要买一台价格适中、性能良好的计算机，你可浏览有关计算机广告。各种广告林林总总，品牌不同、功能各异、价格不等。你便可先从价格上考虑，通过寻读，找出几个你准备买的型号，然后从性能、信誉上进行比较，最选中你想买的那一台。同理，寻读法也常见于阅读考试的细节题中。这种方法的特点是有的放矢，为我所用。譬如根据提问查找某一人名、地名，某一件事发生的年月或其他类似的情况。工程硕士阅读理解的细节题寻读技巧利要是用得当，往往会省时省事，答案迅速而准确。以2003年的阅读试卷中的第4篇为例，这是一篇天气预报，总计328个词。

通过寻读，我们很快就可以把目光定在全文最后一段的最后一句上：“Straitfold, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice”。题干问的是Straitfold以什么最感到自豪，“independent voice” 也即是“独立的声音”。将几个选项进行对比，稍加思索我们就不难找到正确答案：nonconformist image (不随大众的形象)，所以选项B是正确答案。
