课件41张PPT。Unit 1 School life
Reading School life in the UK 根据不同的阅读目的, 我们可以采取不同的方法。一般来说阅读方法有3种:skimming, scanning , reading for full understanding。
Reading strategy Skimming 的目的是了解文章的大意(general idea)。阅读速度要快, 一般250词的短文要在二、三分钟内看完。阅读时精神必须十分集中, 不必记忆细节, 忽略个别生词及难懂的词句, 重点把握全文总体大意。要留心反复出现的单词, 以及文章的开始段、结束段和每段的段首句和段尾句, 因为它们往往是对文章内容的最好概括。
1 Skimming Scanning的目的是寻找文章中某些特定的信息。阅读时视线自上而下, 一目十行。注意与who, what, when. where 有关的内容。对于why, how 等问题, 先找到文中与答案有关的范围, 再用我们以下要讨论的方法来找到正确答案。
2 Scanning 找到文章中的范围之后, 就在此范围中逐句阅读, 对关键词、句要仔细琢磨, 不仅要理解其表面意思, 还要通过推理和判断, 理解其潜在意思。对于生词要通过上下文猜测词义;对于难以看懂的长句, 对其作语法分析, 理解其意。
