學位英語考試閱讀理解破題技巧詳解:閱讀方法3
3.迅讀
無論是在我們平時的閱讀,還是考生在考試時的閱讀,常常需要了解段落的主題或文章的中心思想,還需要掌握一定的細節。這時,我們就得運用另一種閱讀技巧,它就是我們這里將講的迅讀。迅讀是一種比一般速度高一倍以上的閱讀方法,目的是迅速從文中找到所需信息,解決問題。
迅讀要領一:首先確定你需要什么事實和細節,并對其形式進行估計。
迅讀要領二:在略讀中由于對各段落和句子已進行過分析,已大致了解主題和細節,并進行過勾勒,這時就可以考慮確定在什么地方去找自己需要的有關細節或說明。
迅讀要領三:盡快用眼睛掃過文章,找到自己需要的細節描述部分,并在有關句子下做出各種記憶符號。文章瀏覽完畢,再將劃線部分(或做其他符號)重新詳讀一次,并進行適當推理。
通常,迅讀法適用于事實、細節型閱讀理解試題。
例:
Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture: they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture; in the words of a poet and philosopher, "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives". A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.
Question: According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is ____.
A. to read the works of poets and philosophers
B. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyes
C. to begin by learning its body language
D. to visit a country where English is spoken
說明:本題屬于細節型試題,答案為C項。原文中的第四名"In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language.",其中“non-verbal”意為“非語言的”。此句大意為:學外語更好由非文字性語言因素開始經,即從學習講這種語言的人的手勢、肢體語言入手。因此"to begin by learning its body language"正好與題意吻合,故應推斷C項為正確答案。考生只需運用迅讀法,快速找到這句話所在位置,然后根據句意做出正確的判斷。
