;B. 浅谈如何提高初中生英语阅读能力
当今社会知识日新月异，科技突飞猛进。为了满足社会的发展需要以及学生的兴趣与爱好，为了能更直接、迅速地了解世界科技发展的最新动态，学生必须具备良好的英语语言能力。英语语言的能力包括听、说、读、写的能力，其中阅读能力至关重要。对于大多数中国学习者而言，英语的主要用途在于获取知识和有效信息，以利于更好地分析问题与解决问题，方便工作与生活。由此可见，提高学生英语阅读能力至关重要。在英语教学大纲中也明确将培养学生的阅读能力作为英语教学目标之一。因此，初中英语阅读教学是英语教学中极为重要的部分。我们英语教学的目的就是要培养学生独立阅读的能力和应用语言的能力。提高英语阅读能力的途径是多方面的，本文从以下个方面阐述这个问题。 一、激发学生英语阅读兴趣，提高学生阅读的积极性 兴趣是最好的老师，这不仅是对中学生学习英语的鞭策，也是提高学生阅读能力的有效途径。本着“以人为本”的教育理念，积极培养初中生英语学习兴趣，让学生在愉快情境中阅读英语，是新时期英语教和学的和谐与创新的体现。在英语课堂内，教师应时刻关注学生情感态度的发展，努力创造和谐、自然的课堂氛围,激励学生积极主动地参与课堂的各项活动，与老师进行良好的互动，从而达到提高学生阅读水平的目的。 在课外，教师要积极创造机会走进学生，了解学生的阅读情况，帮助学生解决阅读中的困难，对学生在阅读过程中遇到的障碍进行分析并解决，这样与学生之间的信任感加强了，对学生阅读情况了解更充分了，学生的阅读兴趣也在不知不觉中增强了。 比如，在考试结束后，及时找学生谈心，有针对性地对学生试卷中不应出错的阅读理解题目进行分析，让学生通过与他人进行对比、分析，查出自身不足，并提出行之有效的阅读策略。 二、重视词汇的积累 在英语学习过程中，词汇的积累是基本功，并且在阅读中扮演着相当重要的角色。平时教科书中的基础词汇的识记与收集，是初中生学习词汇的基本途径。另外，课外读物中的词语鲜活、实用、现代气息浓厚，如能将这些词语也纳入自己的“字典”，定能在英语阅读中更上一层楼。因此，在进行课外读物的阅读时，可以让学生将一些重要的词汇，优美的英语句子摘抄下来并尽可能记下来。例如：Maria taught the children to sing lively songs and perform short, funny plays to cheer them up. The father was almost mad at first, but the smiling faces of his children pleased him and made him happy again. 此段中有许多重点常用词汇：lively, perform, funny, cheer up, at first, pleased, happy等。学生经过长期的积累，持之以恒就会增加词汇量，这样有利于减少阅读障碍，提高阅读速度，提高获取有效信息的能力。 此外，词汇是人们对世界的认识的基础载体,学生的词汇知识多数来自于大量的阅读,新学的词汇如果没有派上用场，便会削弱学生学习词汇的积极性。教师在选择阅读材料 时应注重选取含有最新词汇的文章，紧跟时代步伐，贴合学生的生活实际，这样能够帮助学生巩固所学的最新词汇，极大程度上满足学生学习词汇的心理需求，使学生获得学有所用的成功感。 三、设计阅读任务，强化阅读训练 在初中英语教学中，每一个话题都有一个阅读训练，其设计主旨在于提高学生利用英语阅读获取信息、解决问题的能力。在这个阅读训练中，教师可以根据文章内容设计问题，让学生抢答，或者进行话题讨论。 在初中英语教科书中，每个话题的Section C中都设计了阅读文章。教师可以在学生预习前设计好问题，让学生带着问题去预习这篇文章。在教学这篇文章时，训练学生通过主要的词汇复述文章内容。学生在讨论中获得了用英语交际的真实感受，真正发挥了英语的教育功能。 四、要善于应用阅读技巧，提高阅读效率 首先，要重视文章的题目和文章的首句及结构。因为文章的题目就是文章的意图，文章的内容就是围绕主题展开。首句是文章的导入部分，点明作者写文章的意图、背景等。其次，培养巧妙的猜词能力。有些人在阅读时一遇到生词便立刻去查词典。应鼓励学生利用学过的知识和技巧，根据所读文章的上下文去猜测新词的词义。比如:Unit6 Topic2的Section C中： When Darren finally pushed his way out, he noticed his friends were both out of sight, he was too frightened to know what to do. His heat was beating fast. Slowly he walked toward a huge rock beside the road and sat there sadly. He didn’t raise his head until someone called him. It was Kangkang.“Oh,Dareen! There you are! It’s great to see you!”As soon as the three boys saw eachother, they all jumped up and down happily. 这段文章中新词汇要鼓励学生去猜测push，direction，step，toe , notice ,sight ,beat ,slowly 等词语的意思。经过这样的反复训练，学生的理解和判断力有所提高，遇到生词也想去猜测了，节约时间，提高阅读效率，并且如果猜对了，还能让学生在此过程中获得学习的乐趣与成就感。 第三，培养独立的分析能力。对难度稍大的问题要在反复精读短文的基础上，认真分析，找出答案。根据提出的问题划出短文中与之有关的句子，以便正确解出问题的答案。如果学生掌握了这些阅读技巧就如虎添翼，基本具备了独立阅读的能力，在今后的阅读中将会受益匪浅。 五、培养良好的阅读习惯 学生的阅读习惯是在英语学习中慢慢的形成的，需要教师耐心地引导，是一个漫长的过程。首先应培养学生平时自觉阅读的良好习惯———预习。预习课文是养成阅读习惯、提高阅读能力的一条有效途径。学习课文的目的是培养学生获取新词汇信息的能力，如果预习自学的方法得当，就能逐渐养成良好的阅读习惯，从而为提高阅读能力打下良好基础。初中英语教材中的课文，大多是妙趣横生的小故事并且图文并茂，自学起来不是负担，而是一种乐趣。因此学生在老师教授课文之前，应该自觉地先预习课文，依照预习目标反复阅读课文，做到：上新课前先学习好生词和短语，理解课文大意；找出文章的疑点、难点；针对提出的问题找出答案和重点句。 初中生同时还要克服以下几种不良的阅读习惯： （1）学生在平时阅读过程的有声朗读，这样阅读的效率会受发音的速度限制，要努力培养成默读的习惯。 （2）阅读能力差的学生经常会出现回头读的现象，慢慢就养成了重读的习惯，要解决这个问题，要及时引导学生阅读时注意控制自己不重复阅读，尽量做到读一眼就读懂，掌握文章的大意，实在不行就采取遮盖训练法，学生就会改掉重读的毛病。 （3）有的学生一碰到生词就求助于字典，不仅影响了阅读的速度，而且还容易打断阅读思路，大大影响了阅读的速度，降低阅读效率。因此要引导学生采用猜测或推理判断的方法,解决阅读中遇到的生词，这样可以提高阅读的效率，同时也培养了阅读的能力。 总之，提高学生的阅读能力非一日之功，需要每一位英语教师脚踏实地地去努力，教师要不断地激发学生的阅读兴趣，在英语教学中让学生积累尽可能多的词汇，在指导阅读过程中不但要“授之以鱼”，而且要“授之以渔”，让学生在阅读学习中培养良好的习惯，体会阅读的情趣，体验阅读所带来的成功的激情，最终有效地提高学生的阅读理解能力，这才是真正意义上的阅读。
C. 初中英语阅读训练的六种方法
阅读理解得高分难？除了有正确的解题方法和技巧外，还需要避免丢掉不该丢的分数。本文特意为大家收集整理了初中英语阅读训练的六种方法，希望大家喜欢！
1.讲究阅读方法
(1)依据主题句定短文的中心：任意一篇文章通常是围绕一个中心展开并且由段落组成的；段落之间有着内在的紧密联系，而表达段落主题的句子叫主题句，通常置于段落的开头，有时在段落末尾和中间；其它的句子是用来说明和阐述主题句的；若把一个个主题句加以整理，你能悟出其中心思想，同时还可以回避、排除个别生词、难句所带来的干扰，但也有一些文章的中心思想常贯穿在全文中，因而要综观全文，对全文有一个透彻的理解才行。
如：
My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn’t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food ), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn’t know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves (岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud, we were pleased and excited by what we’d done.
This passage mainly talks about ______________.
A. the writer’s friends at the Activity Center
B. the writer’s experience at the Activity Center
C. outdoor sports at the Activity Center
D. how to go rock-climbing and caving
[参考答案B] 上述这段短文的中心是说明“the writer’s experience at the Activity Center”。作者以及作者的朋友，还有组上的其他一些成员一起在活动中心度周末的一些活动以及感受。
(2)掌握具体事实和重要细节：阅读文章时，要求学生养成辨认和记忆具体事实、重要细节的习惯。因为具体事实、重要细节是主题句的扩展、补充、说明或例证，是用来支持和说明中心思想的，而且是阅读理解测试的重要组成部分。
如：If someone asks me: “Do you like music?” I’m sure I will answer him or her: “Of course, I do.” because I think music is an important part of our lives.
Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music because it’s so exciting. And my favorite rock band, the “Foxy Ladies” (酷妹) is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate LiLan loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Jane, likes jazz music (爵士乐). She thinks jazz is really cool.
“I like dance music and rock very much.” says my brother, “because they are amazing.”
But my mother thinks rock is boring. “I like some relaxing (轻松的) music,” she says. That’s why she likes country music, I think.
①The writer likes music because he thinks ____________.
A. it’s an exciting part of our lives
B. it’s an amazing part of our lives
C. it’s an important part of our lives
②What kind of music does the writer like?
A. Rock and pop music. B. Rock and dance music. C. Jazz and country music.
③Who likes dancing?
A. The writer. B. Li Lan. C. Jane.
④The writer’s mother thinks that country music is __________.
A. amazing B. boring C. relaxing
⑤ How many people’s ideas about music are talked about in this passage (短文)?
A. 4. B. 5. C. 6.
这是几道重要事实和细节的辨认题，全是围绕短文的主题句“Different people have different ideas about music”来展开说明的，起补充举例作用。答案分别为:① C ② A ③ B ④ C ⑤ B。
(3)运用构词法、语境线索等帮助来推测关键词义：在阅读文章的过程中，常常会遇到一些生词，如果不懂得这些词义就会妨碍理解，但大部分生词的词义是可以根据上下文，结合构词法、借助文章中的语境线索帮助在理解基础上猜测其词义，这有助于加快阅读速度，提高阅读理解能力。如：
Water is all around us. Water is in the ocean. Water is in the lakes and rivers. Water is in the air. There is more water than land on the earth. All living things must have it. We must have it, too. We cannot live without drinking water. Sometimes, we do not have all the water that we need. The land will dry up without water. Sometimes, there can be too much water in the land. If it rains very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hill. It takes some of the land with it when it runs down the hills. It is called erosion when the water takes the land away.
“Erosion” in the passage means ____________.
A. 地震 B. 雪崩 C. 侵蚀 D. 霜冻
根据前面的语句If it rains very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hills. It takes some of the land with it when it runs down the hills.解释可以推知erosion是一种自然地理现象，即“侵蚀”，答案为C。
2.训练阅读速度
在阅读中，我们或多或少会碰到一些生词和不熟悉的短语，这些生词和短语会妨碍我们对文章中心的理解，但我们总是查阅词典也会影响阅读的速度。为了不查词典又能破解生词词义，并理解好文章的中心，要求考生根据构词法判断词义。如：This material is unreadable.中unreadable是生词。学生可以根据词根 read ，知道 un和 able分别为前缀和后缀，那么 unreadable的意义就不难猜测了；还可以培养学生根据生词与上下文的关系来猜测其意义。生词所在的句子、段落会提供很多的暗示和线索，依据这些暗示和线索就可以理解生词的词义了。如：同义词反义词线索；解释性线索；例证性线索；标点符号线索等。如：
A. The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.
定语从句中的 looks after sheep 就解释了 herdsman的词义为“牧人”。
B. Like her younger sister who is gregarious, Alice also likes to make friends.句首的 like（像）这个语境线索说明：句中的gregarious与 likes to make friends意义相近。
通过这些方式可以帮助学生加快阅读速度，进一步提高阅读正确率。
3. 改进阅读方式
（1）预测：培养学生依据文章标题（副标题）、插图以及相关的.背景知识和社会生活经验，对文章的大致内容预测以及可能涉及到的词汇，然后阅读文章的第一段，并对自己的预测进行验证、纠正，同时抓住主题句、关键词，从而更好地从整体上去理解和把握文章的中心。
（2）略读：指导学生快速浏览全文，领会文章大意，辨析文体，掌握篇章结构，进而抓住文章的中心。
（3）查读：指导学生在浏览全文的基础上进行查读，以回答个别事实细节性的问题。有些细节性的问题不能直接在短文中找到答案，必须进行必要的综合、归纳、转换才能获得，也就是要在直接可获得的事实和细节的基础上经过综合、归纳、转换间接地获得所需要的事实和细节。它通常涉及数据、时间、人称、代词的指代、动作的行为的关联、动作行为者与承受者、地点和空间、表态方式、因果、条件、内涵与外延等。如：
One day Mrs Wison went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.
“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Help me check the prices, please.”
The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said “Everything was cheaper there.”
“We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you saved !”
Mrs Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.
“Well done,” she said. “Next time we’ll do the shopping nearby.”
①The things at the corner store were ____ than those in the supermarket.
A. cheaper B. nicer C. more expensive D. Better
② Mrs. Wilson _________ in the end.
A. spent more money B. paid less money
C. lost some money D. saved a little money
这两个问题都是细节性问题，但又不能直接从文章中得出答案，要经过分析和计算间接地获得事实细节。①选C。由 Mrs. Wilson 的话“Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home. ”分析可知the things at the corner store were more expensive.②选A。 Mrs. Wilson 在超级市场买的东西是便宜的，但返回时由于东西多结果打的士回家将打的士的费用摊进去就高于节省的费用了，因此可以知道：Mrs. Wilson spent more money in the end.
4. 扩大英语阅读量
目前初中英语教科书所提供的阅读量较以前有较大幅度的增加，在题材、体裁的选取，功能与话题的设计方面均注意到多样化和广泛性；内容贴近学生实际，教师可以立足教材阅读材料指导和训练学生阅读方法与技巧，教学语言知识和指导学生掌握句法、语法，扩大词汇量，培养阅读兴趣，帮助学生奠定一定的英语阅读能力。但教材中的阅读量离大纲和课标要求的阅读量远远不够。课标五级阅读要求规定：除教材外，课外阅读量应 达到15万字以上。因此教师要督促学生精读泛读结合，通过广泛的阅读不仅有利于学生扩大词汇量，丰富语言知识、开阔视野，开拓思路，还有利于了解英美等国的文化背景、生活风俗、思维习惯及英语特有的语言表达方式，从而提高阅读理解能力。
泛读时，要求学生对阅读材料中的各种语言现象不作全面精细认真的分析，而是根据已掌握的语言知识尽快地获取所需要的信息。
5. 强化阅读训练
(1) 指定阅读范围：教师按学生的英语水平将其分成不同的组别，选择与之相适应的英语读物（配有一定量的问题），分别规定阅读的范围，要求他们课外自行安排时间，带着问题快速阅读，并规定一个较宽松的期限进行检查。
(2) 进行阅读指导：对学生阅读过程中遇到的疑难，教师要及时答疑辅导，以帮助学生顺利阅读。但要注意从学法上多加以指导，帮助和引导他们自行分析和解决问题。
(3) 检查阅读效果：到了规定的阅读期限教师可以通过口头练习和笔试结合的方式分组检查学生阅读任务完成的情况。口头练习以学生回答有关问题、讲述阅读文章的心得为主；笔试检查要求学生完成正误判断题，选择题，填空题等。
(4) 展示阅读效果：利用英语课外活动，通过开展书评、辩论会、演讲会等活动来展示不同组学生课外泛读的成果。分A、B组评论读物；讨论读物的人物特征、主要情节等，让学生在宽松的氛围中各抒己见，互相交流，从而促进学生阅读时积极思考，认真阅读，同时加深对读物的理解，培养表达能力。
6. 加强评估指导
通过评估测试可以检测学生阅读理解实际能力与水平，可以摸清学生的强项与不足，从而为进一步培养学生阅读能力提供依据。教师要充分发挥阅读测试的指挥棒作用。阅读测试文章选材要广泛多样，篇幅要恰当，难易要适中，从而确保阅读测试的信度和效度；在题型设计上做到主观性题型和客观性题型兼顾，并针对学生平时阅读中反映出来的重点、难点与疑点，避免题型过于单一以及偏题、怪题现象，更不能片面追求试题难度。客观性测试题要能通过阅读文章直接找到答案；主观性测试题要能在阅读短文后通过上下文，运用联想、比较、归纳、分析判断文章的隐含意义。测试后要认真进行分析和总结，做到发现问题及时解决，以便进一步提高。

低温冷冻学
Some people want to be shot into space after their death, others want to lie deep under the sea. But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库).These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).
Now some diseases can’t be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die. When a cure is found, warm up his or her body, bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the body is frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液态氮) at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.
Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(处理), though most scientists say it won’t work. If we freeze huge creatures(生物) like humans, every one of their cells(细胞) will be broken. Can they be brought back to life in the future?
根据短文内容回答下列各问题。
7. Where do most people hope that their bodies are kept after their death?
_________________________________________
8. Why do they want the world to keep their bodies well?

机器时代带来的经济危机
Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in short time. Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work from forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.

3. 由短文的倒数第二句话One machine can often do the work of forty people.可知此题的正确答案为C。
4. 此题根据原文的最后一句话可直接得出答案为D。
5. 此题在原文中都可找到答案，而C答案与作者的观点Machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday.不一致，所以选C。
;E. 求一些做英语阅读的技巧，秘籍
一、英语阅读中的三大障碍 1．语言的障碍：由于有的单词往往有几种甚至几十种意思，而一个词的确切含义只有在具体的文章之中根据上下文才能确定。因此，词义的转换和搭配仍是阅读中的障碍。所以要避免进入见词就查字典的误区。 2．文化背景知识的障碍。因为文化背景知识是阅读的无形障碍。由于不了解英语国家的文化背景，因此有时很难做出判断。 所以多做泛读的训练将有所帮助。 3．阅读技巧的障碍。而这一障碍又是多方面的。如找中心思想，推断文章中有没有直接说明的意思，确定作者的语气等。 二、 良好阅读习惯的培养原则 大多数人在阅读的时候，有很多不利于提高阅读效率的习惯。以下简介几种： 1.音读：很多人都有出声阅读的习惯。这种阅读方式的主要弊端就是使阅读速度和效率受到说速度的限制。因为正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。此外，出声阅读往往以不同方式表现出来，有时是唇诵，有时是喉诵。读写活动都会影响眼睛的扫视速度。因此，要克服这种不良的阅读习惯，就要养成通过视觉器官直接感知文字符号的视读能力。 2.心读：心读是一种很难觉察到的阅读习惯。在阅读的过程之中，人体的任何部位，包嘴，头喉都不动。只是在心里自言自语，一字一句地读出每一个词。由于这只是一种内在的说话方式，因此要改掉比较困难。所以要强制自己在深入理解文章的同时，还要强制自己加快阅读速度，才可以逐渐改掉这种坏的习惯。 3.指读：指读就是用手指，钢笔或其他东西指着一个一个词进行阅读的习惯。这种单纯的机械运动不仅会严重影响阅读的速度，而且还会把注意力引向错误的方向。况且对英语考生的要求不是考其注意单词的位置，也不是让其在每个单词上都平均花费时间，而是让他们把注意力集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。恰恰是这种指读的习惯妨碍了眼睛的运动，并限制了大脑快速活动的能力。因此，必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯，逐渐养成用脑反映文字信息的能力。 4.复视：复视即回视，重读现象。阅读能力差的人往往过分依赖复视，以至于养成习惯。所以阅读大量难度适宜的读物，就不会因遇到生词或不懂的短语，句子和段落而回过头再来看，以至于养成复视的习惯。阅读时要尽量控制自己，尽量做到一眼读完就读懂。如果这样效果仍不明显，可选用遮盖训练法，即看一行遮一行，使眼睛不重看。这样反复联练习可见成效。 5.头的摆动：有的人在阅读文章时，头部会无意识地左右摆动。这也是一种不良的阅读习惯。在阅读的时候，他往往会使自己的鼻尖对准正在读的每一个字。这样一来，当他顺着一行字往下读的时候，就会轻微地摆动头部。而当他开始另一行时，就会很快地转回去，以便使鼻尖再次对准要读的部分。这种情况下头的摆动，自己往往自己意识不到。而正是这种不必要的动作，对阅读速度产生影响。因此，在阅读时要想办法检测并控制头的移动，以便养成阅读时只移动视线的习惯。 6.查字典：我们在做题的时候，往往会遇到部分生词，有的人查字典寻词义，而忽略采用猜测或逻辑推理的办法加以解决。只是频繁地查字典。这看似勤奋。实则用手代替了脑的思考。阅读时，查生词的次数过多，不仅影响阅读理解，而且容易打断阅读的思路，不利于阅读的进行和阅读能力的培养。事实上，有很多词完全可以根据上下文线索以及构词法推测出来。比如上下文同义或反义现象，关联词，以及前缀和后缀等。 除了以上提到的各点之外，还有一些不良的阅读习惯也会在一定程度上影响阅读效果。比如说有人阅读时心不在焉，有的学生一边阅读一边转笔，不时地发出声响。有的人身体乱动，还有人过多地进行语法分析等现象。而这些现象频繁的出现就会变成不良的习惯，影响阅读的效果，应当予以纠正。 三、英语阅读的方法和技巧 一般来说，英语的阅读可分精读、泛读和快读三种形式。 精读的任务在于传授系统的基础语言知识，如语音，语法，词汇，篇章结构，语言功能意念等；训练语言的基本技能，如听，说，读，写，译等；培养运用英语进行交际的能力。学生进行精读训练的一般步骤是先疏通词汇，粗知文章的轮廓及大概，再研究文章的结构，弄清文章的内部联系，然后深入重点，剖析语言，分析内容，把握文章的重点，最后综合归纳，领会作者的意图。有一些阅读的基本技术在平时就要注意运用，如圈点，摘要等。最好手里拿一只笔，边读边将文章出现的重点信息，如时间，地点，事件，任务，及数字，生词等勾画出来，通读全文后，再将所勾画的零碎信息闪电般地串起来，重新组成文章。这样不但有助于学生阅读答题的速度，而且还可以回过头来有目的、有意识地核对其中的细节，完成以后，应养成良好的记录笔记的习惯。对文章的生词、语法、句法等难点进行整理，以便今后复习。 泛读的任务在于着重提高阅读理解能力；培养细致观察语言以及假设、判断、分析、归纳、推理、论证等逻辑思维的能力；培养速读能力以及阅读的兴趣，扩大词汇量，增强文化背景知识，学生应尽可能涉猎交际功能强，实用性强的应用文，以及各种体裁、题材的文字资料。如人物传记，科普读物，寓言故事，社会文化，文史知识，新闻报道，广告说明，信函，图表等。如果有条件，还可以读一些英文版的简易读本。这对于了解各种文化的共性和差异，从而形成良好的文化意识则有所帮助。 这两种阅读方式都需要在平时进行训练和加强。然而在各种英语考试之中，时间是不可忽略的因素。因而我们还需要掌握另一种阅读方法，即快速阅读。快速阅读要求读者在非常有限的时间内迅速完成答题者和出题者书面交际的任务。在阅读的过程之中，略过无关信息，筛选有关信息，利用标题、段落、黑体、斜体、图表、图画、主题句和关键词语，辨认要点，迅速有效地获取重要信息。但是，要想提高阅读速度，进行快速阅读也需要一些具体的方法和技巧，如快速泛读、计时阅读、略读和查读等。 1.快速泛读 平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。这里将讲的泛读指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍。要求读得快，理解掌握书中主要内容即可。要确定一个明确的数额，要结合自己的实践，量体裁衣。同时应注意读物的难易程度，单纯以速度衡量效果是不全面的。 2.计时阅读 有的人对于同一篇文章慢读时理解准确率就高，而快读时准确率就降低了。这是为什么很多学生抱怨平时做题准，一到考试就不理想的原因之一。那么要想提高阅读速度，平时必须有意识地多做计时阅读的训练。高考中平均每篇阅读理解平均所需要的时间大约七、八分钟左右。因此平时计时阅读训练每次进行5至10分钟即可，不宜太长。因为计时阅读精力高度集中，时间长了，容易疲劳，精力反而容易分散，没有效果。所以训练时可以由老师或自己先计下起读时间，阅读完毕，计下止读时间，即可以算出阅读速度，持之以恒，应见成效。 3.略读 我们把略读也可称为跳读或者浏览。这是一种专门的非常实用的快速阅读的技能。而所谓的略读，实指尽可能快的阅读，迅速地获取文章的大意或主题思想。也就是说略读要求读者有选择地进行阅读，可以跳过某些不必要的细节，而抓住文章的大概，从而加快阅读的速度。 我们在进行略读训练时要注意以下技巧： （1）要利用排版格式，如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体字、黑体字脚注、标点符号等。对书和文章进行预测略读。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式，以把握大意、有关的细节极其相互关系。 （2）以一般速度阅读。阅读文章开头的一、二段，力求抓住文章的大意、背景情况、作者的文章风格、口吻或语气等 （3）阅读段落的主题句和结论句。聚统计，大约有80%的主题句是段落的首句，其他20%左右的是尾句。因此我们往往可以通过阅读每段的首句或尾句来了解整篇文章的大意。 （4）注意关联词，如转折词however, moreover,序列词firstly, secondly 等. 4.查读 查读又称为寻读。同略读一样，查读也是一种快速阅读的技巧。熟练的读者运用查读，获得具体信息，以提高阅读效率。查读是一种从大量资料之中查找某一具体事实或某一特定信息，如人物，事件，时间，地点，数字等。而对其他无关部分则略去不读的快速阅读的方法。（文秋芳，1996）。运用这种方法就能够在最短的时间之内略过尽可能多的文字资料，找到需要的信息。 作为一种快速寻找信息的阅读技巧，查读既需要速度，又要求查读的准确性。具体地说，查读带有明确的目的性，有时针对性地选择问题的答案。因此可以把整段的文字映入大脑，不必逐字逐句过目。视线在文字上掠过，一旦发现有关的内容，就要稍做停留，标示或摘下。既要保证查读的速度，又要做到准确无误。所以用查读技巧作应用文体裁的阅读题型，成效更见显著。 查读与略读不同。略读时读者事先对材料一无所知，而查读则是读者对材料有所了解的情况下进行的。 为了进行有效的查读，读者应运用以下技巧： （1）利用材料的编排形式。资料多半按字母顺序排列，如字典、邮政编码及参考资料等。但也有按年代或类别。总之是利用某种逻辑方法排列的。 （2）利用章节标题和说明。查读之后首先看文章标题或章节标题，确定文章是否包含自己所需要的资料，或者哪一部分包含哪些资料。这样就可以直接翻到那个部分进行寻找。 （3）抓提示词。读者找到所包含信息的章节，准备查读。这就要留心与那个具体信息有关的提示词。找到提示词之后，就可以采用一般速度获得所需要的信息。 我们在做阅读理解时，这几种阅读方法也会交叉使用到，具体步骤为： （1）先精读问题，了解题后做到心中有数。 （2）用目光略读全文，捕捉有关信息。可利用标题、主题句等。例如，读记叙文时我们要问5W，即为何(Why)、什么(What)、谁(Who)、何时(When)、何地(Where)、怎样(How)。例如要找一个人名，我们可以直接找到含有这个人名的句子。 （3）停下来读这个句子。如果是答案。我们这个问题就解决了，如果不是，可以继续搜寻查找。同时注意一些关键的提示词和标点符号。 四、 结语 实际上正如我们所体验的，阅读不是一个繁长线形的过程，不必要把所有的文章一一阅读。根据不同的阅读目的，可以采用不同的阅读方法。可以跳过某个词语、句子，甚至不必要的段落去获取必要的信息。 中国有句成语：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”比较形象地描述了阅读的重要性。对英语也同样适用。然而，从某种意义上讲，好的英语不是英语老师讲出来，都是学生们练出来的。所以我们的学生以及其他英语爱好者，不仅要有良好的阅读习惯和恰当运用英语阅读方法和技巧的能力，更要与长期的阅读实践相结合。只有这样，才会尽可能地克服英语中存在的三大障碍，才能更快更好地提高英语阅读水平，增强英语阅读能力。

adventurers
There have never been many adventurers. You van read stories about men called adventures. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted----- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.
There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.
In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting.
As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered.
But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.

the world
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ----those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.(悬崖)
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.(生存).
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
1. A best title for the text is ____.
A. Dangerous sports: what and why
B. The boredom of modern life
C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?
D. The need for excitement
2. More and more people today ____.
A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping
B. are climbing the highest mountains
C. are coming close to death in sports
D. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places
3. In bungee jumping, you ____.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground
C. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground
D. fall towards the ground without a rope
4. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _____.
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital if they are injured
C. their life is short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food
5. The writer of the text has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.
A. Positive(肯定的') B. negative(否定的) C. neutral(中立的) D. nervous(紧张的)

Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary(暂时的)hotels made of snow and blocks(大块)of ice? These are known as ice hotels.
Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby.
To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses(床垫)and reindeer skins(驯鹿皮).
There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors(在户外), indoor temperatures are still very low.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only ring the winter months. The ice hotels melt(融化)away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers.
56. According to the passage, ice hotels ______.
A. are found everywhere B. do business in summer
C. are made of glass D. are made of snow and ice

Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?
To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.
However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压)reces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾). So our tas te buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.
Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.
61. In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.
A. passengers stay long in the plane B. food on the plane tastes bad
C. passengers have no food to eat D. food on the plane is expensive
62. What do airlines do to solve this problem?
A. Get more customers. B. Offer more food.
C. Improve their food. D. Rece the ticket price.
63. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reces of the sensibility of our taste buds.
A. half B. one third C. one fourth D. one fifth
64. Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?
A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste.
B. The volunteers don’t understand them.
C. They can’t find enough volunteers.
D. They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.
65. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Taste of Airplane Food B. Airplane Travel
C. Scientific Research on Noses D. The Change in Air Pressure

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins(企鹅)may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased(减少) by 30% since 1987.
Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Mary live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill(磷虾).
The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproce(繁殖). Besides，many alt penguins die of hunger.
Widespread(广泛的) fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.
News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reprocing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.
根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
1. Penguins ___________.
A. can swim better than fly
B. can be found near Oceania (大洋洲)
C. eat fish only
D. live only in cold waters.
2. Which of the following is NOT the cause of penguin's decrease in numbers?
A. Oil searching. B. Widespread fishing.
C. Human's killing. D. Warming of the oceans.
3. Why are the penguins in South Africa reprocing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking?
A. Because people removed the ship.
B. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild.
C. Because people helped the penguins.
D. Because people treated the penguins well.
答案及解析：
1. 选B，我们知道企鹅不会飞，因此A不正确，除了吃鱼，他还吃磷虾，因此C不正确。只能选B。
2. 选C，本文中并没有说人类是如何捕杀企鹅，相反，人类对企鹅的'态度相当友好。
3. 选C，根据文章可以判断是由于人类的帮助。

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight，my men,"he said. "Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die."
They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on ty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.
The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.
C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.
4. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?
A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
5. Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.
1. B。这是一个考查细节和事实的.题目。文章中有明确的叙述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所问问题和原文的叙述完全一样。
2. D。这也是一个考查细节和事实的题目。在所给文章中可以找到这样地叙述：When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根据这一叙述，我们可以判断：当你在体育课上摔倒时，你的老师和同学们肯定会帮你站起来的。
3. B。这一道阅读理解题同样是考查事实和细节的题目。在阅读文章里我们也能找到关于这问题的叙述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.
4. A。这是一道判断题目。阅读文章里明确叙述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.阅读理解题的A项说，有车的人永远不愿在室外走，与文章所讲完全不同，因此是不对的。
5. C。这是一道考查文章主题的题目。这篇文章共有三段。 第一段的主题句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主题句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主题句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主题都是围绕happiness展开的，所以正确答案是happiness。

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.
So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
1. Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.
A. in a life-raft B. in Miami
C. in Simony D. in Panama
2. The whales hit the side of the boat, and then _______.
A. they brought in a lot of water
B. they broke the side of the boat
C. they pulled the boat
D. they went under the water
3. After their boat sank, the couple _______.
A. jumped into the life-raft
B. heard water
C. watched the boat go under water
D. stayed in the life-raft
4. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.
A. tins of food and bottles of water
B. a fishing-line and a machine
C. whales and sharks
D. Twenty passing ships
5. When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.
A. they were too excited to stand up
B. they couldn’t wait to climb onto the boat
C. their life-raft was beginning to break up
D. they knew their two months at sea would be over
【答案与解析】这是一篇关于一对夫妇如何遇到海难，然后在海上的救生艇上生活了66天后获救的小故事。
1. C。在第二自然段的第1句就告诉我们they left Panama, Simony, they met some whales 说他们是在Simony 旅游时遇见Whales.
2. B。我们从第二自然段得知They started to hit the side of the boat,也就是说是the whales broke the side of the boat。
3. D。在他们的船沉没之后，the couple是一直待在船上直至获救的，而不是一直都在jumped into the life-raft。
4. B。根据第3段的第2句They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives可知：a fishing-line 和 a machine救了他们的命。
5. D。由最后一段After fifty days at sea...我们知道：the couple是太虚弱所以不能站起来，是由船长carried them onto his boat, 而救生艇早在出事后的50天就坏掉了，而不是获救当天坏的，所以A、B、C都可以排除，D项为正确选项。
