课件23张PPT。写给上课前的你们：
亲爱的同学们：疫情过后，你们的学习定会出现明显的两极分化。自律的同学会越来越优秀，遥遥领先；不自律的同学，各种糊弄假学，定会远远落后！古诗云：“黑发不知勤学早，白首方悔读书迟”。可千万别让它变成了“假期不知勤学早，开学方悔读书迟。”
所以同学们：不要假装努力，结局不会陪你演戏。初三是关键的一年，现在更是关键时期。在这个特殊的假期里，让我们共同努力，保持自己的优势学科，弥补自己的弱势学科。好好利用这次假期弥补自己的短板，奋发自强，等到开学后你就会是一匹黑马。
“宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来”，希望你们在不久的将来都能成为自己想要的样子！同学们!加油!Module 3

略读又称跳读或浏览，是一种专门的，非常实用的快速阅读技能。所谓略读，是指以尽可能快的速度阅读，迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。换句话说，略读是要求读者有选择地进行阅读，可跳过某些细节，以求抓住文章的大概，从而加快阅读速度。
略读可以 使用下列技巧：
(1)要利用印刷细节，如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号、插图等，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(模式)，以便把握大意，有关的细节及其相互关系。
(2)以一般阅读速度阅读文章开头的一、二段，力求抓住文章大意、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。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意，然后略去细节不读，以求得略读速度。
(4)注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however， what’s more， in addition等;序列词firstly， secondly等。
(5)若无需要，不必阅读细节部分。寻读( Scanning) (适合阅读理解中的应用文、阅读表达题)
寻读又称查读，同略读一样，寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。寻读是一种从大量的文本中迅速查找某项具体事实或某一项特定信息，如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等，而对其它无关部分则略去不读的快速阅读方法。运用这种方法，读者就能在最短的时间内掠过尽可能多的内容，找到所需要的信息。寻读既要求速度，又要求准确性。具体地说，寻读带有明确的目的性，有针对性地选择问题的答案。
为了有效地进行寻读，读者应运用下列技巧：
(1)利用文章的编排形式。（记叙文、说明文、应用文、议论文等）
(2)利用段落标题和说明，（比如小标题、斜体词、黑体词、批注符号等）来确定该段中是否包含自己所需要的信息。
(3)抓提示词。读者找到包含所需信息的地方时，要留心与那个具体信息有关的提示词。找到提示词，就可以采用一般阅读速度，获得所需要的信息。
