30、的态度和观点,也是本文的主旨。阅读选择题的应试技巧短文阅读主要测试考生对阅读的书面材料理解的程度,既可以为外语学习者提供运用语言知识、文化背景知识,又可以巩固所学语言知识技能、提高英语水平。所以是外语学习者必须掌握的基本技能,也是各种英语考试的重点内容。因此,阅读部分考试成绩的优劣在整个考试中起着举足轻重的作用,所以考生在备考的过程中必须加以重视。阅读理解是对字、词、句法的进一步学习和综合运用。要提高阅读能力,除了掌握的基本语法规则知识外,还要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力的训练主要可以从下面三个方面入手:词汇、方法、侧重点。1)词汇在阅读过程中,不可避免地会碰到不认识的单词,考试中又不允
31、许查字典,有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影响不大,可以忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下,就需要利用猜字的技巧猜出词的含义。快速阅读的 CPD 公式 Context, Parts, Dictionary每日学习词汇 study vocabulary daily使用所学词汇 use the words you learn创立你自己的词汇表 create your own word list2)方法方法一:先看文章后做题。主要针对简单易懂的文章、时间又较充裕的情况。方法二:先看问题后再读文章再做题。这种方法在时间紧、文章长的情况下更为实用。这样可以带着问题去阅读,
32、文章中的内容与考题有关系时仔细阅读,与题目无关时,可以置之不理,很快跳过去。还有一些题目涉及一般常识或科普知识,可以在未阅读文章之前自己先行判断,在阅读时只要对自己的判断进行验证就可以了。3)三个侧重点除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外,阅读时要注意不要逐字逐句地翻译,而要侧重地阅读。侧重首段、尾段,首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点、主题或中心思想,抓住了主干,那么细节问题就会迎刃而解。侧重语篇标志词。语篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的,把握住这些词语就等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系,对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。侧重长句、难句。因为英语表达多
33、以冗长著称,论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思想内容,从而使文章更具有说服力。所以,我们在阅读时,必须重视长句、难句,认真分析句子,把握住关键点。事实上,不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。以上是归纳出的几点解英语阅读选择题目的技巧。考生在训练中应尽快掌握这些技巧,并在实践中摸索出一套适合自己的方法。第二部分 非选择题三、概括段落大意和补全句子(第 1625 题,每题 1 分,共 10 分)Dormitory Life 英语二 Living in a dormitory at college can be a great experience.
