Question

【題目】Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here’s how to preview.

◆Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

◆Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim—if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

Here’s how to skim.

◆Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

◆Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about.

【1】How many skills are given in this passage?

A. One., B. Two., C. Three., D. Four.

【2】What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?

【3】What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.

B. Get our eyes to move fast.

C. Sweep our eyes across each line.

【解析】

短文主要講述了如何提高閱讀速度的兩種方法——預(yù)覽和跳讀。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Here are two skills that I think are especially good.”可知本文主要講述了兩種閱讀技能，故答案選B。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“-if it's long and hard.”及下文“Previewing doesn't give you all the details.”描述可知，此處指的是略讀。故答案選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Skim--if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading--like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.”描述，可知閱讀體育新聞適合用跳讀法，根據(jù)Here's how to preview.◆Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.可知仔細(xì)閱讀最后兩段是預(yù)覽，選項(xiàng)A仔細(xì)閱讀最后兩段是不對(duì)的，故選A。

【4】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)文中句子“Previewing doesn’t give you all the details.”可知，預(yù)覽并不會(huì)給你所有的細(xì)節(jié)。因此C選項(xiàng)的說法“通過預(yù)覽，你可以得到文章的所有細(xì)節(jié)。”是錯(cuò)誤的，答案選C。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段中的句子“There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.”可知這篇短文主要講述了如何提高閱讀速度的兩種方法，故答案選A，如何讀得更快。

詞義猜測(cè)題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測(cè)詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測(cè)題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義和語(yǔ)義的能力，突出考查對(duì)語(yǔ)境的分析和把握能力。常見的猜詞法有：(1)利用上下文語(yǔ)境。猜測(cè)任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對(duì)需要猜測(cè)的詞或短語(yǔ)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測(cè)。 (2)利用定義或解釋性的線索。閱讀文章中的有些生詞往往在其后會(huì)有對(duì)該詞進(jìn)行解釋說明的短語(yǔ)或句子，利用它們猜詞義較容易 (3)利用文章的邏輯關(guān)系答題。如并列、對(duì)比、因果、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系等。這些邏輯關(guān)系往往通過一些相應(yīng)的詞或短語(yǔ)表達(dá)出來，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達(dá)的意思，不僅可以擴(kuò)大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測(cè)詞義。第2小題的詞義猜測(cè)題就是利用第1種解題方法。
