英語閱讀的重要性對于大家不言而喻,作為一名從事一線英語教學(xué)二十多年的教師,對于英語閱讀教學(xué)總是覺得自己好像什么都知道又好像什么都不知道似的,前面總像隔著一層玻璃,有種霧里看花的感覺。關(guān)于閱讀的書我也不知道有看過好多種,但總不是自己想的那種。我想要的是古龍筆下那種一招致命的必殺技。可是,許多關(guān)于閱讀的書卻總給我一種太極高手的感覺,讓人很難領(lǐng)悟其要旨。以下是自己平時在英語閱讀教學(xué)中和同學(xué)們一起總結(jié)的關(guān)于如何學(xué)會寫英語閱讀筆記的一些探索,我覺得學(xué)會寫英語閱讀筆記真的非常重要,所謂“學(xué)而不思則罔”就是這個道理。希望這些小小的思想火花能夠幫助那些還在閱讀路上苦苦探索的同學(xué)們,不足之處,還請大家斧正。
方法一:準確審題,通過關(guān)鍵詞定位
Question1:To fully develop the low-carbon markets,government can .(page72)
A.cut public expenses
B.forbid carbon emission
C.develop public resources
D.encourage energy conservation
要做好這一題,首先要審題,通過審題才能定位到文中相應(yīng)的某一段。通過審題,題目中的develop和 government為關(guān)鍵詞,我們可以定位到文章第三段。
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets .First,they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangements of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction ,and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
根據(jù)First,they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.這句,我們可以輕松鎖定答案為B.forbid carbon emission.
方法二:主旨大意題要找中心段
Question 5:what is the main purpose of the passage ?(page73)
A.To introduce a new business model.
B.To compare two business models.
C.To predict a change of the global market.
D.To advocate sustainable development.
這題很顯然考察的是主旨大意題,解決主旨大意題最重要的就是思路,我們只要找到文章的中心段,問題就迎刃而解了。
根據(jù)我們的閱讀策略,我們知道中心段一般位于文章的第一段或最后一段。我們?nèi)フ乙幌碌谝欢?,果然是本文的中心段?/p>
In a world with limited land ,water and other natural resources,the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually ,the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed ,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words ,we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
根據(jù)最后一句,也是本段的中心句,我們可以輕松鎖定答案為D選項。
方法三:標(biāo)題選擇根據(jù)“標(biāo)題三原則”
所謂“標(biāo)題三原則”,就是說我們在選擇文章標(biāo)題是要根據(jù)“概括性”“針對性”“醒目性”。把“醒目性”放在最后,是因為我覺得文化背景的不同,所以不同于中文標(biāo)題“語不驚人死不休”,英語標(biāo)題滿足前兩個條件就可以了。請看題:
Question4:Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?(page70)
A.Mothers Club in China.
B.Babycare and Doctors.
C.American Company Model.
D.Educational Toys in China.
我們直奔本文的中心段,也就是第一段看看吧。
BEIJING(Associated Press美聯(lián)社)——China has a growing middle class,a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year.Selling educational toys should be easy.
從這篇新聞的第一段,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)滿足標(biāo)題三原則的最佳答案非D項莫屬了。
方法四:瞻前顧后,根據(jù)語境猜測詞義
Question1:The underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .(page69)
A.early B.sweetly C.quickly D.smoothly
猜測單詞的詞意無外乎兩種方法,一種是根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法知識來猜測單詞的意思,一種是根據(jù)語境來猜測。高考英語全國卷每年都會有一兩個詞意猜測題,往往都是要根據(jù)語境來猜測。所謂語境,我覺得范圍就是這個劃線詞所在句子前面的那一句和后面的那一句。如果在這個范圍內(nèi)還沒有找到,就可能需要再擴大一下范圍。
首先,我們來看一下本題所在的第一段。
Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study ,if they are introduced when still young .(less than 6 months for cats,a year for dogs ),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog .
However,it was not all sweetness and light...
根據(jù)后面一句里面的單詞positive,可以判斷出swimmingly在本句中的意思和B選項相似?;蛘撸逊秶贁U大一些,下一段的開頭第一句話也在提示我們,swimmingly就是sweet的意思。這樣我們根據(jù)語境就順利的猜出劃線詞的意思了。
“路漫漫長其修遠兮,吾將上下而求索”,英語學(xué)習(xí)的路要靠自己走,不過希望在學(xué)習(xí)的路上我可以陪伴大家,做大家的好朋友和好向?qū)А?/p>
