对比传统阅读，我们会发现，新题型的篇幅和单词数量甚至难度都要大很多，而且和传统阅读的考试题型也完全不同，因此我们还能用传统阅读的解题技巧去应对新题型吗?答案是否定的。当然，如果尝试去读懂原文和所有的选项，这显然不是一种明智的解题办法。因此，虽然同属阅读理解，但是新题型使用到的方法和技巧完全不同。那么问题来了，新题型到底怎么来做呢?

在考研大纲中，英语一和英语二考试的题型和偏重点是不同的，今天我们就先来看看在英语一中近五年以来考试频率非常高的一个题型——排序题，这也是很多同学得分率比较低的一个题型。

排序题在试题当中考察形式是给出6-7个段落，其中1-2个段落已经给出，剩下的5个段落按照文章行文的逻辑顺序排序，如果一个选项出错，势必会影响剩下的其他的选项，这也是这种题型错误率高的一个重要原因。

其实排序题的解题不需要去读懂文章，我们需要做的有：1. 找出各个选项第一行(一句)范围内和最后一行(一句)范围内的指代、数字、时间、和因果和对比这样的衔接标志;2. 看首段是否已经给出，若未给出，可排除有些选项，如有转折，递进或者比较级或指代的选项;3. 看是否两个选项能够通过选项之间的对比和因果关系实现必然连接，并进而推测它们位置;4. 根据前后衔接关系选出所有选项。

我们以2018年的试题为例：

(2018英语一)

41 ( )→ C → 42( )→ 43( ) → F → 44( ) → 45( )

[A] In December of 1869, Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building. The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments. To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House, the elaborate French Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected, and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of 1871.

[B] Completed in 1875, the State Department’s south wing was the first to be occupied, with its elegant four-story library (completed in 1876), Diplomatic Reception Room, and Secretary’s office decorated with carved wood, Oriental rugs, and stenciled wall patterns. The Navy Department moved into the east wing in 1879, where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.

[C] The State, War, and Navy Building, as it was originally known, housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation’s foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century—the period when the United States emerged as an international power. The building has housed some of the nation’s most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.

[D] Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB’s granite walls. Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush all had offices in this building before becoming President. It has housed 16 Secretaries of the Navy, 21 Secretaries of War, and 24 Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

[E] The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States. Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Alfred B. Mullett, it was built from 1871 to 1888 to house the growing staffs of the State, War, and Navy Departments, and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.

[F] Construction took 17 years as the building slowly rose wing by wing. When the EEOB was finished, it was the largest office building in Washington, with nearly 2 miles of black and white tiled corridors. Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster; the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety. Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over 4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.

[G] The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid. The first executive offices were constructed between 1799 and 1820. A series of fires (including those set by the British in 1814) and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building. In 1866, the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.

先选出首段41.E：文章都是在讲EEOB，E段是首次出现全称;在剩下的选项中，时间最早的是G选项1799，因此42选择G;在时间上能与1799连接的只有A选项1869;同理选出44 B(1875)选项和45 D选项。
