When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means 「rich coast」 in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important proct in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country』s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (細菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn』t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精煉米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (維生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person』s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don』t, they can also take vitamin pills.
61. The underlined word 「cure」 in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice
62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.

B. find ways to grow better crops
C. do some research about the island
D. help the Javanese with their illness
63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A. To eat them.
B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise.
D. To make money by selling them.
64. If a person doesn』t get enough vitamins in his diet, he』d better ______.
A. eat more rice B. eat more meat
C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills
65. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickens
B. the Javanese didn』t like vitamins
C. Christian Eijkman』s experiment was successful
D. the Javanese』s disease was caused by a kind of germ
C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don』t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words 「generous with our time」 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be 「______」.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans』 hospitality
D. Americans』 and Chinese』s views of friendships
D ★★★
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
「I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can』t even understand a bit of music.」
「I』m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.」
But, one younger musician said, 「There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I』m trying to find other places to play. I』m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.」
I』ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they』re positive or negative, they』re rubbing off on you. If you』re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it』s time to take a look at the people you call 「friends」.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標准) for yourself and don』t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you』re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one』s success
72. The underlined sentence 「they』re rubbing off on you」 in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they』ll push you ahead
B. they』ll influence you
C. they』ll cover your shortcomings
D. they』ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians』 words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians』 living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends
B. come to the right way of making friends

Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia』s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile』s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
「This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,」 said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband』s 「quick and diligent actions」.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called 「What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?」 by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world』s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let』s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren』t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don』t fing, grocers don』t groce, and hammers don』t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn』t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That』s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words 「wind up」 in the last paragraph probably mean 「______」.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll

Do you speak English?
你會講英語嗎?
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke ring the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'
去年我有過一次有趣的經歷。在離開法國南部的一個小村莊後,我繼續駛往下一個城鎮。途中,一個青年人向我招手。我把車停下,他向我提出要求搭車。他一上車,我就用法語向他問早上好,他也同樣用法語回答我。除了個別幾個單詞外,我根本不會法語。旅途中我們誰也沒講話。就要到達那個鎮時,那青年突然開了口,慢慢地說道:「你會講英語嗎?」
我很快了解到,他自己就是個英國人!

The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.
'Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.
'Don't interrupt,' he said.
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
秘書告訴我說哈姆斯沃斯先生要見我。我走進他的辦公室,感到非常緊張。我進去的時候,他連頭也沒抬。待我坐下後,他說生意非常不景氣。他還告訴我,公司支付不起這么龐大的工資開支,有20個人已經離去。我知道這次該輪到我了。
「哈姆斯沃斯先生,」我無力地說。
「不要打斷我的話,」他說。
然後他微笑了一下告訴我說,我每年將得到1,000 英鎊的額外收入。
A polite request
彬彬有禮的要求
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
一旦你把汽車停錯了地方,交通警很快就會發現。如果他沒給你罰單就放你走了,算你走運。然而,情況並不都是這樣,交通警有時也很客氣。有一次在瑞典度假,我發現我的車上有這樣一個字條:「先生,歡迎您光臨我們的城市。此處是『禁止停車』區。如果您對我們街上的標牌稍加註意,您在此會過得很愉快的。謹此提請注意。」如果你收到這樣的懇求,你是不會不遵照執行的!
Always young
青春常駐
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
我的姑姑詹妮弗是位演員,她至少也有35歲了。盡管如此,她卻常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。詹妮弗很快又要參加一個新劇的演出。這一次,她將扮演一個17歲的少女。演出時她必須穿一條鮮紅色的裙子和黑色的長筒襪。去年在演另一個劇時,她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘紅色的衣服。一旦有人問起她有多大年紀,她總是回答:「親愛的,長成大人真可怕啊!」
He often does this!
他經常干這種事!
After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.
'Did you have a good meal?" he asked.
'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'
The landlord smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.
'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'My dog had taken in into the garden. He often does this!'
我在一家鄉村小酒店吃過午飯後,就找我的提包。我曾把它放在門邊的椅子上,可這會兒不見了!當我正在尋找時,酒店老闆走了進來。
「您吃得好嗎?」他問。
「很好,謝謝。」我回答,「但我付不了帳,我的提包沒有了。」
酒店老闆笑了笑,馬上走了出去。一會兒工夫他拿著我的提包回來了,把它還給了我。
「實在抱歉,」他說,「我的狗把它弄到花園里去了,他常干這種事!」
Sold out
票已售完
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
「劇馬上就要開演了,」我說。
「也許已經開演了呢,」蘇珊回答說。
我匆匆趕到售票處,問:「我可以買兩張票嗎?」
「對不起,票已售完。」那位姑娘說。
「真可惜!」蘇珊大聲說。
正在這時,一個男子匆匆奔向售票處。
「我可以退掉這兩張票嗎?」他問。
「當然可以,」那姑娘說。
我馬上又回到售票處。
「我可以買那兩張票嗎?」我問。
「當然可以,不過這兩張票是下星期三的,您是否還要呢?」
「我還是買下的好,」我垂頭喪氣地說。
One man in a boat
獨坐孤舟
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
釣魚是我特別喜愛的一項運動。我經常一釣數小時卻一無所獲,但我從不為此煩惱。有些垂釣者就是不走運,他們往往魚釣不到,卻釣上來些舊靴子和垃圾。我的運氣甚至還不及他們。我什麼東西也未釣到過 -- 就連舊靴子也沒有。我總是在河上呆上整整一上午,然後空著袋子回家。「你可別再釣魚了!」我的朋友們說,「這是浪費時間。」然而他們沒有認識到重要的一點,我並不是真的對釣魚有興趣,我感興趣的只是獨坐孤舟,無所事事!

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn』t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
( )56.From the passage we learn that locusts________.
A. are small animals
B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colours to protect themselves
( )57.How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?

C. they like brown and grey colours
D. they live in forests
( )59.Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A. Because it is very big and strong.
Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm water there are some little ones. We call them "Coral islands".
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it into small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

A nobleman (貴族) was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. Beside the old man, on the ground, lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The nobleman called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?"
"This is a fig (無花果) tree, sir," he said.
"A fig tree?" cried the nobleman in surprise. "Why, how old are you, may I ask?"
"I am ninety years old," said the other.
"What!" cried the nobleman. "You are ninety years old, you are planting a young tree now and it will take years to give fruit. You certainly don』t hope to live long enough to get any benefit(好處) from this tree?"
The old man looked around his garden. Then he smiled and said, "Tell me, sir, did you eat figs when you were a boy?"
"Sure." The nobleman did not know why he asked this question. The old man smiled again. "Then tell me this," he said, "who planted the trees from which those figs were picked?"
"Why…why, I don』t know."
"You see, sir," went on the old man, "our forefathers planted trees for us to enjoy, and I am doing the same for the people after me. How can I pay back anything to our forefathers?"
The nobleman was quiet for a moment and said. "You are right, my good man." Then he rode away.

⑧ 做英語閱讀理解題的技巧是什麼
閱讀是主動地、積極地獲取信息的創造行為,是培養學生通過視覺感知書面文字元號並獲取信息能力的途徑,更是提高聽、說、寫能力的有力杠桿,它在英語學習中起著至關重要的作用。在近幾年的高考英語試卷中,閱讀的分值(閱讀理解,完形填空,改錯)佔了整個試卷分值的一半以上。99年高考英語試卷閱讀理解的篇幅在增長,難度也有所加大。筆者認為要提高英語閱讀水平,學生需做到以下幾點:
一、多採用Top-down閱讀法
自上而下(Top-down)閱讀是從語篇整體出發,把注意力集中在通過文字元號獲取信息上,即按文章所給的標題先對文章的內容與含義作出推斷,理解作者所要表達的意思。
運用自上而下的閱讀法的關鍵是培養學生預測、推斷文章內容和含義的能力,從而提高閱讀理解能力。
通過略看文章的總體結構安排或文章的標題來預測文章的內容及深層含義,可從下列幾方面去推測:
1.文章寫了哪幾方面的內容?
2.作者將從哪幾方面來闡述?
3.內容將如何發展下去?
在閱讀時要注意不同的英文文體,因為文體對信息的組織和布局模式有著重大影響。訓練掌握各種英語文體的結構特徵,有利於歸納文章和進行邏輯推理。例如:記敘文以敘事為主必定有三個要素:情節、人物和背景。情節的發展多以時間、地點的轉移為線索。因此,閱讀記敘文時,必須抓住時間這條線索,以人物為中心,弄清故事的發生、發展、結局。再如議論文和說明文有一個共同點,就是段落大多有主題句(較多地出現在段首或段末),要抓住主題句,發掘每一個主旨,弄清文章的中心論點,以便更加詳細地預測文章的內容,吃透整篇文章的表層及深層含義。
二、正確處理好精讀與泛讀間的關系。
精讀和泛讀是閱讀時兩種主要方法,兩者相輔相存,不可偏廢也無法代替。
1.注重閱讀材料的選擇。
選擇合適的精泛閱讀材料是提高英語閱讀的重要手段。選擇字數為200左右,後面配有習題的閱讀材料為宜。閱讀材料體裁要多樣化——敘事類、科普類、議論或說明類、廣告類等。要注重文章的實用性。所選材料的難易程度以理解正確率達60%~70%,生詞量不超過4%為恰當。
2.精讀泛讀相輔相存。
比起泛讀,精讀是點。對一些有一定難度寫得較好的文章要進行剖析,要歸納、總結作者的寫作意圖、思路及中心論點,最後達到獲取詳細信息和深層次內容的目的。如果說精讀是點,泛讀即是面。只有通過大量閱讀,才能積累大量詞彙、結構和句型,才能積累大量詞彙、結構和句型,才能擴大知識面,培養語感,提高對文字的反應能力。在泛讀時,要根據上下文提高自己猜測生詞的能力,不要一看到生詞就查詞典,要弄清文中批示代詞和人稱代詞所指代的對象。要對自己進行限時閱讀。一篇200字左右難度適中的閱讀文章,爭取6分鍾之內做完其閱讀理解題。在閱讀時,要多積累英、美等國家的社會、歷史、地理、文化及風俗方面的知識,這有利於提高閱讀水平。要培養良好的閱讀習慣。閱讀時,要從意群上去看,不要逐字讀,更不要用筆或手指邊指邊出聲讀,這樣有礙理解文章的意思,而且影響閱讀速度。
閱讀是一個綜合過程,閱讀能力的提高更是一個循序漸進的過程。學生只有堅持不懈,鍥而不舍地改進閱讀方法,培養閱讀興趣,才能達到事半功倍的效果。
影響閱讀理解的因素可分為知識性障礙和非知識性障礙。知識性障礙包括:1.詞彙障礙2..語法障礙 3.背景知識障礙 。非知識性障礙包括:1. 心理障礙 2.閱讀習慣. 3..閱讀速度4.閱讀技巧
(一)重視英語詞彙和習慣用法的積累
美國語言學家Driller (1978)根據詞彙統計特徵指出:如果我們認得25個最常見的英文單詞,平均每頁紙上的詞我們會認得33%;如果認得135個常用詞,則為50%;如果認得2500個,則為78%;如果認得5 000個,則為80%;一旦記得10 000個,可達92%。可見,閱讀能力的高低和詞彙量的大小是分不開的,目前大部分學生的詞彙量偏少, 這是影響閱讀能力提高的主要因素。那麼怎樣才能提高學生的詞彙量呢?
1. 構詞記憶法
據估計,英語詞彙有100萬到120萬,但大部分單詞是由構詞法構成的。構詞法包括派生、合成和轉化。在教學中,讓學生掌握常用的前綴(un/dis/im/il /super.)、後綴( ly/ less/ ful/ ment…)的含義及用法,就可以根據已知詞猜出它的派生詞,從而達到擴大詞彙的目的。如:前綴super 有超過,超越的含義,就可以猜出supermarket (超級市場)supernatural (超自然的)、 superman (超人)、superstar (超級明星)等詞的含義。。
2. 聯想記憶法
由一個詞聯想到和它有關或無關的詞,如看到live vi 生活,聯想到其他詞性及用法,如,直播的、活的等詞義。
3. 廣泛閱讀記憶法
「To read well, you need a strong vocabulary.. To build a strong vocabulary, you need to read well.」 這句名言道出了閱讀和詞彙量的關系。要有流利的閱讀,就必須有豐富的詞彙。大量的閱讀可以豐富你的詞彙。
(二) 牢固掌握語法知識
近年來的NMET閱讀理解短文的句式結構趨向復雜,語法知識在閱讀中的作用已經突顯出來。如在閱讀中遇到另人費解的長句、難句,就可以藉助語法,對句子進行適當的分析,搞清各部分的關系,從而准確理解整句的意思。以Decision-thinking is not unlike poker-it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.(NMET 2000) 為例。該句的29個詞中包含了主語從句,賓語從句、並列句和破折號連接的附加說明等多種關系。其中並列句中又有復合句,復合句中又有並列句。只有把句子的成分一一理清,才能掌握其意思。
(三)、積累一定的文化背景知識和生活知識
英語閱讀能力的提高不僅需要一定的語言知識,還要有一定的文化背景知識和生活知識。例如在NMET2003的閱讀理解A篇,該篇選材涉及地理,介紹了兩座farthest/ most distant inhabited islands,一個為Guinness Book of Records 所認定的Tristan da Cunha;另一為復活島(Easter Island)文章中出現了較多的專有名詞,對於閱讀經驗不足的同學會形成干擾,而對於那些對Easter Day 等背景知識了解的同學,相對就會好些。另外在C篇中,出現了書刊號,如果熟悉這些,就會減少好多閱讀困難。
(四)培養良好的閱讀習慣,掌握有效的閱讀技巧
要養成良好的閱讀習慣,就要求平時多朗讀,背誦精彩段落和文章,以培養語感。另外,有的同學在閱讀時出聲讀、點讀或回讀,這些不良習慣都會影響閱讀速度和對文章的理解。所以要克服這些不良習慣,作到不回讀,不聲讀,不點讀等。只有這樣,閱讀速度才能加快,理解的准確率才能提高。
除了良好的閱讀習慣外,也要掌握正確的閱讀技巧。教師要指導學生形成正確的思維方法。一般閱讀時應注意以下幾點:
1、略讀(Skimming)即迅速瀏覽全文,抓住文章大意和主題句,明確作者的態度和意圖。
2、跳讀(Skipping) 即快速查找某一相關信息,讀時要一目十行,對不相關的內容一帶而過。
3、猜測生詞(Guessing the new words) 在閱讀過程中,不可避免的會遇到生詞。如果一遇到生詞就去查字典,或跳過去不看,都會影響對文章的理解。這樣就要猜測生詞的意思。不同的語境,單詞的意思也就不一樣。所以要根據上下文線索和構詞法等知識去猜測。
「冰凍三尺,非一日之寒」 提高閱讀能力,不是一朝一夕就能做到的。只要堅持正確的閱讀方法,培養興趣,廣泛閱讀,積累詞彙,並且養成良好的閱讀習慣,閱讀理解能力一定會逐步提高。
英語閱讀理解技巧
新的高中英語教學大綱明確規定:"側重提高閱讀能力"。縱觀近幾年的高考英語試題,我們不難看出,閱讀理解能力是高考考查的重點,自始至終占著主導地位,並且有逐年增加的趨勢。可以毫不誇張地說,做好閱讀理解題,是獲得高考英語高分的關鍵!
閱讀理解能力測試的主要要求是:
1. 讀材料的主旨和大意,以及用以說明主旨和大意的事實和細節。
2. 既理解具體的事實,也理解抽象的概念。
3. 既理解字面的意思,也理解深層的含義,包括作者的態度,意圖等。
4. 既理解某句,某段的含義,也理解全篇的邏輯關系,並據此進行推理和判斷。
5. 既能根據所提供的信息去理解,也能結合中學生應有的常識去理解。根據這五項要求,我們可將閱讀理解多項選擇題歸納為以下幾種題型:細節理解題,詞句理解題,主題、主旨題,猜測詞義題,推理判斷題。下面作者結合平時教學中的經驗體會,談一談做英語閱讀理解題的技巧與策略。
一、 先看題干,帶著問題讀文章。
即先看試題,再讀文章。閱讀題干,首先要掌握問題的類型,分清是客觀信息題還是主觀判斷題。客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調,作者未加陳述的觀點以及貫穿全文的中心主旨的理解等,這類題必須經過對作者的態度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次,了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息,然後有針對性地對文章進行掃讀,對有關信息進行快速定位,再將相關信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比,有根有據地排除干擾項,選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性,提高了做題的准確率,節省了寶貴的時間。特別適用於對圖形表格類題材的理解。
二、 速讀全文,了解大意知主題。
閱讀的目的是獲取信息。一個人的閱讀能力的高低決定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力。沒有一定的閱讀速度就不能順利地輸入信息,更談不上運用英語。近幾年的高考閱讀速度大約是每分鍾40個詞左右。考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節、人物、觀點,並且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質。
抓主題句這是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭和結尾。用歸納法撰寫的文章,都是表述細節的句子在前,概述性的句子居後。此時主題句就是文章的最後一句。通常用演繹法撰寫的文章,大都遵循從一般到個別的寫作程序,即從概述開始,隨之輔以細說。這時,主題句就是文章的第一句。當然也有些文章沒有主題句,需要讀者自己去歸納。主題句往往對全文起提示、啟迪、概括、歸納之作用,主旨大意題,歸納概括題,中心思想題往往直接可從主題句中找到答案。
試試看,你能找出下面一段文章的主題句嗎?
The panda is a popular animal. Stories about the panda in the Washington Zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. Stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops.
不難看出,文章的第一句是主題句,後面的句子都圍繞這個句子展開。
三、 詳讀細節,理順思路與文章脈絡。
文章絕不是互不相乾的句子雜亂無章的堆砌。作者為文,有脈可循。如記敘文多以人物為中心,以時間或空間為線索,按事件的發生、發展、結局展開故事;論述體則包含論點、論據、結論三大要素,通過解釋、舉例來闡述觀點。你可根據文章的特點,詳讀細節,以動詞、時間、地點、事件、因果等為線索,找出關鍵詞語,運用"畫圖列表法",勾畫出一幅完整清晰的文章主題和細節的認知圖。
四、 邏輯推理,做好深層理解題。
在實際閱讀中,有時作者並未把意圖說出來,閱讀者要根據字面意思,通過語篇邏輯關系,研究細節的暗示,推敲作者的態度,理解文章的寓義。這就是通常所說的深層理解。深層理解主要包括歸納概括題(中心思想,加標題等)和推理判斷題,是閱讀理解中的難點。深層理解是一種創造性的思維活動。它必須忠實於原文;要以文章提供的事實和線索為依據,立足已知推斷未知,不能憑空想像,隨意揣測;它要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思,推理才有前提和基礎。
推理題在提問中常用的詞有:infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。
例如高考題:
Annealing
Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle-that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as it is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass.
1. Why do people put hot metal in water?
A. To make it hard. B. To make it soft.
C. To make it cool. D. To make it brittle.
2. In annealing, the required hardness of metal depends on __.
A. the quantity of water used B. the temperature of the metal
C. the softness of the metal D. the timing of the operation
3. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle?
A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly.
B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly.
C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly.
D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly.
1、 答案為A,此題屬推斷歸納題。文中第二句說如果把金屬加熱,然後迅速放到水裡冷卻,也就會變得非常硬,但也變得脆。hard 是工藝的主觀目的。brittle是伴隨的客觀結果,故選A而不選D。B項明顯錯誤;C項是手段不是目的,因此,都可排除。
2、 答案為D,此題屬概括歸納題。timing 是時間的選擇。本答案的依據是5和6兩句,"The metal is heated,…length of time.","The longer…the softer it becomes."cool 的時間是可以控制的,時間越長越 soft,即硬度就越低。由此我們可得出結論:在退火過程中,金屬的硬度是受到冷卻的時間長短影響的。
3、 答案為C此題屬推理判斷題。文中提到"metal"。最後一句說退火工藝同樣可用於象玻璃一類的其他材料。文中我們已知"annealing"就是先"heat"後"cool slowly"。由此推斷C是正確的。
五、 猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎。
猜詞是應用英語的重要能力,也是高考中常用的題型。它不但需要准確無誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認識較多的課外詞彙。我們要學會"順藤摸瓜",通過構詞,語法,定義,同位,對比,因果,常識,上下文等線索確定詞義。
a. 定義法
如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子給予annealing 以明確的定義,即"退火"。
It will be very hard but also very brittle------that is , it will break easily.
從後面的解釋中我們可以了解到brittle 是"脆"的意思。
The herdsman , who looks after sheep,earns about 650yuan a year.
定語從句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的詞義為"牧人"。
b 同位法
如:
They traveled a long way , at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.
同位語部分a large building in old times 給出了 castle 的確切詞義,即"城堡"。
We are on the night shift----from midnight to 8 a.m.---this week.
兩個破折號之間的短語很清楚地表明night shift 是"夜班"的意思。
c. 對比法
She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.
but 一詞表轉折,因此but 前後的意思正相反。後半句的意思是她今天"第一節上了一半才來",因此反向推理,可得出她平時一向"准時"的結論。
d. 構詞法(前綴、後綴、復合、派生等)
Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred?
possibility 是 possible 的同根名詞, 據此可以判斷定 possibility 意思是"可能性"。
e. 因果法
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken。Sometimes the weakness was permanent。So the player could never play the sport again.
從後面的結果"永遠不能再運動"中,可以推測 permanent
⑨ 初中英語閱讀理解試題(含答案和解釋)
My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破壞)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(語言學家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of a foreign language.
B. To show an example of creative methods.
C. To express worries about using Netspeak.
D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
答案:D
【解析】在審題過程中請大家主語是main purpose而不是main idea ,第一段就一句話,而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子,這樣的句子用在開頭,很明顯是為了引出下文。或者大家可以運用排除法文章主要對象是netspeak ,而A,B兩項沒有提到netspeak 故排除,又因為C選項在感情色彩上是負面,與原文感情色彩相違背,故答案選擇D。
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
答案:C
【解析】本題為判斷正誤題,也叫做細節推斷題,解題方法依據選項中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點,A定位詞為CM在原文倒數第二個自然段出現,其中引號的句子中用了worries與答案中的properly相反,所以排除;B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現Standard English.是在倒數第二個自然段與CM相關的信息,所以此選項為典型的張冠李戴;D選項為片面的誇大其辭,文章層面只能看到language is changing,而沒有任何細節提到improving,所以根據文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項。
3. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised
C. think it a pity D. find it interesting
答案:A
【解析】本題為短語推斷題,解題方法結合上下文邏輯關系,上文提到年輕人會harming 語言,下文接著說當他們成為父母後,they too will think this way .他們也會這么想,那麼中間空出一定是強調,並凸顯出下文,那麼最滿足條件的解釋是A選項。
