　　根据四级样卷可知，全文共计9个段落，对应10题，这意味着必有一段对应两题。事实上，从答案来看，其中有两个段落分别对应了两道题，有一个段落不对应任何题。
　　原快速阅读的考试时间是15分钟，原深度阅读（含选词填空+仔细阅读）的考试时间是25分钟，而调整后的阅读理解（含选词填空+长篇阅读+仔细阅读）考试时间是40分钟，由此可推出新题型长篇阅读的考试时间基本不变，大概15分钟。
　　从样卷来看，长篇阅读主要考查段落信息匹配题。段落信息匹配题有4个特点：
　　1.乱序：如个题干对应的并不是原文的段，而是第四段。
　　2.同义转换：如第49题题干中的“change”为E段首句中 “reshape”的同义转换。
　　3.通常超细节：如第47题题干中的 “since the mid-1970s”, “3.9 percent”, 第50题题干中的 “twenty percent” 都是考查学生对数字这一小细节是否注意。
　　4.通常无特殊印刷体。
　　从这4大特点我们足以看出这类题的难度：乱序意味着考生不能按“题文同序”原则逐一解题；同义转换、超细节及无特殊印刷体意味着考生要费大量脑细胞去理解所读到的每个信息，无法快速地定位！
