These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of material, especially when youre previewing. They are also useful when you dont need to know every word.,略讀(skimming)只看文章標題、下標題以及每個部分或者段落第一行，關(guān)注文章中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵詞。 略讀時，要用充足的時間讀懂段落的第一句和第二句，因為第一句往往是該段的主題句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是對前句的延伸(extension)或進一步的解釋(explanation)。,通過略讀把握文章大意,運用掃讀(scanning)迅速瀏覽從第三句開始的后面部分,搜尋作者對開頭兩句的支持句(supporting sentences),并同時注意文章中間是否有轉(zhuǎn)折詞(transition),因為這些詞常常會把文章的思路逆轉(zhuǎn)或加入其它重要的信息。當讀到段落的最后一句時,我們又要使用略讀,這時必須再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者對段落的小結(jié)(conclusion),因為該小結(jié)有可能與主題句截然相反或引導(dǎo)讀者進入下一個段落。,通過掃讀尋找特定信息或特定詞組,Reading strategy,skimming,scanning,a general idea,certain information,titles and headings,the first and last sentences of paragraphs,the first and last paragraphs,pictures and charts,Scan the text for key words and phrases, dates, etc.,Do not need to read the whole text.,Skimming for general ideas,Go through the passage as quickly as possible and choose the best answer.,Skimming,Reading Comprehension I,The Reading text is an essay about _.
