新思维阅读chapter 9.ppt

1、chapter 9,Modern technology,快速查找特定信息,快速查找特定信息的阅读方法也称寻读。和略读一样是快速阅读的方法之一。寻读是查找某特定事实或信息，而不需要阅读全文的阅读方法，广泛地应用于日常生活中。例如，从电视报中查找有关电视节目播放的时间，频道；从电话簿中查寻朋友的电话号码等。寻读能使我们快速找到所需的信息，把有限的时间合理利用到有关信息上。寻读和略读不同。略读之前，我们对将要阅读的材料内容知之甚少，而寻读之前我们已对阅读材料有所了解。寻读的目的性很强，运用一定的寻读技巧便能快速找到所需信息。寻读前，要先了解阅读材料中信息排列的情况，查明是按字母顺序，时间顺序还是其它

2、逻辑的排列顺序进行排列的。寻读时，我们的眼睛迅速扫过一页，只留意所需的信息。寻找日期就注意数字， 大写字母， 年月日符号等；寻找姓名就注意大写字母和缩写等。另外，文章中一些特殊的标点符号，斜写单词，下划线的单词及图表等均可帮助我们快速查找到特定的信息。,Theme Introduction：,Technology has changed the lives of many people in the world today.
