Question

【題目】What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.

Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.

People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the world’s greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and cars.

1、平心靜氣審題，切忌粗心。在解答閱讀題時，千萬不要慌，要靜下心來，按照由易到難，由淺入深的思維方式，先從容易的入手，逐漸的打開思路。

2、仔細研讀語段，整體感知文章內(nèi)容。通常閱讀一篇文章，第一遍需要速讀，首先要重點理解文章的體裁是記敘文還是說明文。答題時切忌文章都沒完整的閱讀過，就匆匆忙忙地寫答案。最好先把文章從頭到尾通讀一遍，對文章有一個整體的認識和理解。

3、巧妙借助"原話"，確定解題空間。在通讀全文的基礎上，將要回答的問題放到閱讀的文章中來，再去瀏覽所要回答的試題，經(jīng)過初步的思考，確定解決問題的閱讀空間。有些試題它要求用文中原話來回答，我們就可以用文中的原話來作答，這時就可以"從文章中直接提取信息"來回答問題。

4、合理控制答題時間，先易后難。應瀏覽閱讀理解的全文，了解閱讀理解全文的概貌。看完后，應記住閱讀理解文章的要點，閱讀理解重要的結(jié)論以及閱讀理解中的一些關鍵性的人名、地點、定義和數(shù)字。碰到閱讀理解的難題時，千萬不要鉆牛角尖，耽誤太多時間。
