28、理解的程度，既可以为外语学习者提供运用语言知识、文化背景知识，又可以巩固所学语言知识技能、提高英语水平。所以是外语学习者必须掌握的基本技能， 也是各种英语考试的重点内容。因此， 阅读部分考试成绩的优劣在整个考试中起着举足轻重的作用，所以考生在备考的过程中必须加以重视。阅读理解是对字、词、句法的进一步学习和综合运用。要提高阅读能力，除了掌握的基本语法规则知识外，还要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力的训练主要可以从下面三个方面入手：词汇、方法、侧重点。1 )词汇在阅读过程中，不可避免地会碰到不认识的单词，考试中又不允许查字典，有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影响不大，可以忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会

29、影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下，就需要利用猜字的技巧猜出词的含义。快速阅读的 CPD 公式 Context, Parts, Dictionary每日学习词汇study vocabulary daily使用所学词汇use the words you learn创立你自己的词汇表create your own word list2 )方法方法一：先看文章后做题。主要针对简单易懂的文章、时间又较充裕的情况。方法二：先看问题后再读文章再做题。这种方法在时间紧、文章长的情况下更为实用。这样可以带着问题去阅读，文章中的内容与考题有关系时仔细阅读，与题目无关时，可以置之不理，很快跳过去。还有一些

30、题目涉及一般常识或科普知识，可以在未阅读文章之前自己先行判断，在阅读时只要对自己的判断进行验证就可以了。3 ）三个侧重点除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外，阅读时要注意不要逐字逐句地翻译，而要侧重地阅读。侧重首段、尾段，首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点、主题或中心思想，抓住了主干，那么细节问题就会迎刃而解。侧重语篇标志词。语篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的，把握住这些词语就等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系，对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。侧重长句、难句。因为英语表达多以冗长著称，论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思想内容，从而使文

31、章更具有说服力。所以， 我们在阅读时，必须重视长句、难句，认真分析句子，把握住关键点。事实上，不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。以上是归纳出的几点解英语阅读选择题目的技巧。考生在训练中应尽快掌握这些技巧，并在实践中摸索出一套适合自己的方法。非选择题第二部分三、概括段落大意和补全句子（第 1625题，每题1分，共10分）Dormitory Life Living in a dormitory at college can be a great experience.
