點評 一、速讀全文,了解大意知主題.
閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面.閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力.考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點,并且理清文章脈絡(luò),把握語篇實質(zhì).
二、看題干,帶著問題讀文章.
首先要掌握問題的類型,客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等,這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等.其次,了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息,然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀,對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位.此法加強了閱讀的針對性,提高了做題的準確率.
三、邏輯推理,做好深層理解題.
在實際閱讀中,有時作者并未把意圖說出來,閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思,通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系,研究細節(jié)的暗示,推敲作者的態(tài)度,理解文章的寓義.要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全.推理題在提問中常用的詞有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
四、猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎.
猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力.它不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯.我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜",通過構(gòu)詞,語法,定義,同位,對比,因果,常識,上下文等線索確定詞義.
