提高阅读速度的

1、提高阅读速度的 抓住题目、首句、首段 每一篇文章的题目、首句、 首段往往是文章内容的高度概括。 在开始阅读前， 要根据这些推 测文章的内容， 可以在一定程度上扫清可能出现的理解障碍， 加 速理解过程，提高阅读速度。 抓住题干 阅读题干， 首先要掌握问题的类型， 分清是客观信息题还是 主观判断题。 客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案， 而主观判 断题考查的是对文章的感情基调， 作者未加陈述的观点以及贯穿 全文的中心主旨的理解等， 这类题必须经过对作者的态度、 意图 以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。 其次， 了解试题题干以及 各个选项所包含的信息， 然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读， 对有 关信息进

2、行快速定位，再将其整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有 据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。 抓住猜测词义 在阅读的过程中， 同学们都会不可避免地遇到生词。 而在关 键的地方，对这些生词词义的推测和正确理解与否直接影响到同 学们对句子意思的把握和对全文的理解， 以及对文章内容的正确 把握。词汇量的大小在一定程度上影响阅读速度的快慢及阅读理 解的准确率，因此根据上下文猜词义就成了一个重要的阅读技 巧。在词汇量大致相同的情况下， 有的同学能运用这一技巧准确 理解原文，有的同学则只因为阅读中碰到两三个生词而导致对原 文的误解。 其实我们可以抓住文章的主要内容， 根据上下文猜测 词义来提高阅读速度。 少数生词的存

3、在决不会影响阅读理解。 猜 测并不是对文章进行臆测， 它要求同学们能够调动自己的所有知 识，文化的、语言的等等，克服自己由于词汇量的不足带来的阅 读障碍，较为准确地掌握文章的中心内容。例 1 Imagine ， one day ， getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours ， and then ， after a full day of work， going backhome to Beijing and having dinner there.So

5、wn high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects.

We foreseethat in the coming

15、rk解析 1. B 。由文章倒数第二段可知：高铁的发展可以提供 更多的商业旅游机会， 更加强了国与国之间的联系。由此可以 推断中国和所涉及到的国家会从中受益。2. C 。由倒数第四段的第一句话“ But the key issue is really money . ”可知：钱（财经）是关键的问题。3.

16、ories and business centers in the west once and for all.And they ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries ”，可以推断作者对高铁的发展所持的是积 极的态度。 抓住略读 略读，指以最快的速度粗略地对文章的内容获以梗概， 而查 阅，指以最快的速度从一篇文章中淘沙拣金， 获取读者所需的材 料或信息，包括查找人名、地名、事件发生的事件或地点等。首 先快速浏览文章的前面几段，以便对文章的内容、背景、写作的 风格以及作者的观点等有所了解， 而对后面的一些段落可以只读

17、 每段的主题句。 主题句一般位于句首、 句末，也有少数插入段中。 抓住构词法 英语中许多词由词根和词缀组成。 掌握英语的词根、 前缀和 后缀，对构词法有一定的概念， 不但是扩充词汇量的一条便捷途 径，同时也可以在阅读中判断生词的准确词意， 从而提高阅读速 度。同学们一定要重视利用词缀来扩充词汇量和通过理解词缀的 意义来判断生词的确切含义，从而达到提高阅读速度的目的。 培养好阅读习惯 在阅读的过程中，同学们不必读出声，尽量不回视，一口气 读完。不懂时，可根据问题的要求重读，有针对性地查找相关信 息。阅读时要养成这样的习惯：以意群为阅读单位，不要逐词逐 词的读。必须经过长时期的训练才会有效果。而且
