先看题目后看文章。一般大多数人做阅读时都是先看文章再做题,这也是的最一般方法。这种方法的缺点是往往在做题目的时候由于印象不深需要重新看文章寻找答案。而先看问题,带着问题去看文章,那么看到与问题相关的语句就仔细看,无关的可以粗略的看,这样既准确的找到了问题的答案又节省了时间。
每段的首尾句要认真的看。阅读理解的题目中都会出现主旨题。例如:what is the main idea of the first paragraph?对于这类题目的答案一般都在段落的首句,有的时候也会出现在尾句中。所以一定要认真看首尾句。
运用猜测法。在做阅读理解题时,猜测也是一种能力。同样一篇文章,有些人简直不知道该如何下手,而另一些人能运用自己平时在生活中的积累,根据上下文进行逻辑推理,排除错误的选项,找出最有可能的选项。当然,这也是建立在一定的知识积累上的,所以平时要多注意知识的积累。
细节题用快速阅读法。有些细节题,比如which of the following sentence is nou true?对于这类题则快速跳阅文章,找到相关语句,仔细核对比较,直到找到正确答案。
最后要注意平时词汇的积累。词汇的积累是每一个学习者必须面临的巨大工程。记单词最好的方法是多读些自己感兴趣的英语原著,先去猜词的意思,实在猜不出的时候再查字典,这样对单词的印象就极为深刻,不容易忘记。这比拿着单词本背单词效果要好的多。
由于在很多情况下,说明文是对客观存在的说明与介绍,因此语言的表述也应该尽可能地给人以客观可信的感觉,比如:
(1)I think that getting up late is not always a bad thing.
(2)It is said that getting up late is not always a bad thing.
相比之下,例(2)的语言要比例(1)的语言客观一些,容易让人接受一些。如果再作一些表述上的改动:
(3)Getting up late is not always a bad thing, according to Franklin Smith, a well-known psychologist in Stanford University.
引进著名人士作为信息的来源,可以使想要说明的内容更具有说服力。如果我们将例(3)中的always再改为necessarily,就可使整个句子更客观、委婉,便于为读者接受:
(4)Getting up late is not necessarily a bad thing, according to Franklin Smith, a well-known psychologist in Stanford University.
在英语中,采用被动语态,引进权威的信息来源以及选用委婉的词语是使说明文避免主观色彩,增加客观性,从而为读者接受的重要语言手段
阅读能力的测试包括阅读速度,理解程度以及记忆能力等。要想获得满意的英语成绩,最根本的方法就是提高词汇量,加强阅读训练,同时熟悉一些阅读技巧和做题方法也是至关重要的。每个人都有自己习惯的做题方法,不能说哪种方法更高明,要大家纷纷仿效。一种方法是先快速浏览问题,然后带着问题通读全文,了解文章的大概内容,这一遍要快,不理解的地方跳过,然后做题。这时我们心中已大概知道答案的分布,跳过无关部分,快速找到答案所在处,仔细阅读,反复推敲,直到选出正确答案。可以用直接法和排除法相结合选择答案,排除法是四个选项都看,逐一排除选项,选出正确答案。这种方法可提高正确率,但花费的时间较长。
另一种方法是先浏览文章后面的问题, 然后带着问题去读文章。
读完文章后我们常有这样的情况:句子都能看懂,但读完文章印象却不深,这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。如何学会对文章的整体理解呢?首先,要重视文章的题目和文章的首句。因为文章的题目就是文章的主题,文章的内容就是环绕主题展开。首句很关键是因为首句是文章的导入,点明作者写文章的意图,背景等。接着的每一段的第一句也很重要,因为每段的第一句实际上多半是每段的主题句,然后进行陈述或论述,逐步展开,给予例证,最后把该段内容用一句话来小结,所以每段的最后一个句子常常是该段的结论句,而整篇文章的最后一句就往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在。
People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.
The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produced there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods.
Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself if gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizers cannot restore the balance.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy.
Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by
cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.
先要理解所引古籍或名言的含义,现联系说明的内容,看看这两者间有何内在联系,就能领悟其引用的目的了。在说明的开头文段或中间叙述有关的故事,究竟起何作用:
在文章开头叙述故事,其目的往往是为了引起读者阅读的兴趣,或者是为了引出说明对象。
在文章或段落中间叙述故事,往往是为了增强说明文的可读性,同时也为了说明事物的来源或作用。
比较法是用一个事物和与其有联系的其他事物加以对比的说明方法。目的是为了帮助读者准确地区分事物,通过对比达到对该事物的深刻认识。
如:上述范文对三种人生目标在时间上和实际操作上进行了比较,并阐明了彼此的联系。
(1Lifetime goals should be written out.
(2Like lifetime goals, these are measurable and clearly stated.
(3These goals are more performance oriented, and they help with achievement of intermediate goals.
适合这类题型的阅读理解通常具体反映在文章的题目或一段短文的小标题上;很多文章从一开头就直接说出观点,表达中心思想。所以对于这类题型,一定要提示学生注意主题句和主题段,绝大多数的短文类似于语文的老三段,注意段与段之间的联系,注意隐藏的中心思想,准确了解文章结构,把握句与句之间的关系,注重逻辑关系,把握住文章的脉络即可。
