I don't know if you mean to improve your reading ability or your ability to answer questions. Needless to say, I have seen too much, but I guess what you want to ask is the latter.
English reading skills, my personal experience, three steps:
1. Quickly decompose the whole article and sort out its structure;
2. Quickly grasp the topic of the article;
3. Quickly find out the central meaning of each part and find out the sentences that express the central meaning.
By doing these three steps, you can basically answer the next question without reading this article word for word.
First of all, English articles, especially reading articles for exams, have typical structures. The general structure is a topic section, a discussion section, a summary section, and even a long graduation thesis is only within this big framework.
Take five paragraphs of an article as an example:
Generally, the first paragraph is a topic paragraph, which means that the theme of the whole article will definitely appear here. What you need to do is to find the central sentence quickly. Generally speaking, the central sentence will appear in the penultimate sentence or 1 sentence, and relatively simple articles will appear in 1 sentence. If the test questions are difficult, you may need to summarize them yourself, but even if you need to summarize the central sentence yourself.
Next, in the second, third and fourth paragraphs, each paragraph will discuss or analyze the theme meaning put forward in the first paragraph, that is to say, each paragraph will have a high-level theme, that is, a sub-argument, so what you have to do is to find it out quickly and use the same position and method;
The last paragraph is a summary of the full text, and the conclusion will be further analyzed, speculated or commented, which is also a topic. What you have to do is to grasp the main idea of the summary and the conclusion of further analysis.
Of course, not all articles are five paragraphs. For example, some topic paragraphs may have two or more paragraphs, argument paragraphs may have only two or more paragraphs (but generally not more than three paragraphs), and each argument in more difficult articles may have more than one paragraph. I just take five paragraphs as an example to illustrate the structure or general composition of the article. Through this rule, we can quickly decompose the article and grasp the main points of each part.
Let's analyze the main points of the problem, or the law of the problem (if the problem is not too biased). Take a reading article with five titles as an example. Generally, it is 1 topic, 1 argument, 2 detailed questions, 1 conclusion or analysis and speculation on the conclusion.
It can be seen that if you master the theme, argument and conclusion analysis of the article, you can get 3/5 answers correctly without reading the whole article word by word. What should you do about these two details? You need to quickly analyze the argument from the information provided by the topic, and then go back to the argument paragraph to find the sentence that matches the question. General questions are relatively simple and will be copied from the original sentence. If it is difficult, express it in another way. If it is difficult, set a trap around the circle. This is ... In this case, all five problems can be solved, which is the so-called targeted problem solving.
Tell me about my reading habits. Generally, I will read the questions first, understand the meaning of each question very carefully and extract useful information. Although it is generally not easy to find out the topic of an article just by asking questions, I can certainly find the words and information related to the topic, at least know what the article is discussing or describing, that is, argumentative, explanatory or narrative, and then quickly follow the above three steps. In this way,
Question 2: How to read and understand it safely? We give way to numbness, but JEM is quick.
Question 3: How to do a good job in English reading comprehension? First, the main problems of reading comprehension
English "Reading Comprehension" mainly examines the ability of candidates to comprehensively use the language knowledge they have learned, including reading ability, comprehension ability, inductive and generalization ability, logical reasoning ability and evaluation ability of materials. The topics of the reading articles selected in the test questions are diversified, involving politics, economy, social culture, customs, historical geography, science and technology, etc. There are various genres, including narrative, explanatory, argumentative, practical and news reports, advertisements, notices, operating instructions, tables and other styles. It requires candidates to have high reading comprehension accuracy and fast reading speed. Generally speaking, it mainly aims at the following aspects:
1. Individual words or sentences of the article; 2. Details or plots of the article; 3. The theme of the article; 4. Background knowledge of the article; 5. The conclusion or conclusion of the article; 6. The implied meaning or implication of the article. This paper mainly examines the ability of candidates to comprehensively use the language knowledge they have learned, including reading ability, understanding ability, induction and generalization ability, logical reasoning ability and evaluation ability of materials.
Specifically, there are the following types of problems:
(A), a direct understanding of the topic
This kind of topic is relatively simple, as long as you read through the full text and understand the important facts or details described in the article, you can answer it, and some can even find the answer directly from the original sentence of the article.
(B) the semantic understanding of the topic
The topic requires an explanation of some difficult words, keywords, phrases or sentences in the text. When answering such questions, we need to establish an accurate three-dimensional understanding of the relevant context and even the content of the whole article in order to make a correct answer.
(C), the topic of logical reasoning
This kind of topic is difficult, and it is often impossible to find the answer directly from the text, but it must be based on the context and its relationship or after a deep understanding of the whole article. Sometimes we even have to contact the author's intention, attitude and other implications to get the correct answer.
(D), summarizing the general topic
It is required to summarize, summarize or evaluate the article on the basis of reading and understanding the full text. When solving such problems, we can't just take a few sentences out of context, such as title, theme, conclusion, ending and other related issues. On the basis of carefully reading the full text, we need to make logical thinking, reasoning and judgment by combining the language knowledge, background knowledge, common sense of life and scientific professional knowledge we have learned, so as to draw the conclusion.
Second, learn to read English well.
The most important thing in English reading is to concentrate. If you can't concentrate on reading, you can't grasp the understanding of context, causality and time relationship clearly, and the relationship is not profound. When you do a problem, you often have to go back and read it again, which not only takes up a lot of time, but also the information is not very accurate. It's best to concentrate on the first reading and print the key things in your mind, so you will be handy when you do the problem. Don't panic when you don't understand a word or words, which will not have a prominent impact on the whole article. There are ways to look at the following topics. Maybe the topic can reflect the author's tendency, or give some hints in the topic. In addition, when you encounter important sentences such as time, place and people when reading, you can emphasize them in your own mind, and then it will be easier to do the following questions. When encountering ambiguous problems, feel according to your own feelings. Choose if it makes sense, and don't spend too much time thinking about it. There are a lot of English questions, especially reading questions. Spending too much time on a problem will affect the overall effect. If it is difficult to determine the answer, don't pay too much attention, try to pursue the general correctness in a balanced way, and try to do the whole reading question well instead of spending too much time on one question.
Reading comprehension questions are characterized by a large number of questions, high scores and many types of questions. Candidates should understand the characteristics of questions and adopt different problem-solving skills according to different questions. Generally speaking, "sequential reading method" can be used for easier articles; For those articles that are a little difficult at first, you can use the "reverse reading method", first browse the answer options, then read the article itself and read with questions. This makes it easy to eliminate redundant information, concentrate, and enhance pertinence and accuracy.
On the premise of understanding the article and topic, pay attention to analyze the intention of the examination questions:
To judge reasoning questions, we should carefully consider the author's ideas, stick to the original text, and don't replace the author's original intention with our own opinions.

Question 4: How to do English reading comprehension? Hello, I am an English teacher. I should grasp two key points about English learning methods.
Vocabulary: Vocabulary is the basis of English learning.
Many students report that during reading, some words are very familiar, but they don't know what they mean, so the whole article can't be understood, which leads to reading difficulties. If you don't master the vocabulary required to remember in the exam outline, it will be difficult to understand the whole article. The method of efficient reading needs training, and it is an efficient learning method with coordinated eyes and brains. Under normal circumstances, training readers can directly transform the text symbols perceived by visual organs into meanings, eliminate the potential sound phenomena in their minds, form a direct reflection of eyes and brains, and improve learning efficiency by combining memory training.
Because people usually don't have much contact with fast reading, they can train the coordination ability of brain and eyes through direct training. Last year, some scholars recommended "elite fast reading and memory training" as a study plan for holiday students, thinking that software practice for 30 hours can improve reading speed by about 5- 10 times, and learning 1-2 hours a day can achieve good results in two weeks. Ordinary people. This suggestion was highly recognized by Zhu Faliang, the former director of the Psychological Research Office of the Central Institute of Education and an expert who has been engaged in brain psychology research for many years. At present, I am studying the holiday speed reading and shorthand training courses carried out by many classes, using the Eagle speed reading and memory training system.
In order to save time, you should avoid reading:
(1) Don't translate word for word when reading, it will slow down the reading speed. Read the whole article quickly and grasp the main idea of the article.
(2) Don't read a sentence repeatedly, that is, if you encounter a sentence that you don't understand at the moment, you will be immersed in reading that sentence repeatedly and pondering it over and over again. In fact, it is completely unnecessary, because choosing the right answer does not mean reading every sentence of the original text. It is enough to grasp some key sentences. The correct way is to focus on understanding the whole passage and grasp the sentences that cover the theme with your heart. As mentioned in the above article, speeding reading training also trains memory, and the mind map of the super memory part plays a very good role in grasping the context and key points of the article after comprehensive reading. So I suggest you try to learn.
If you are a student who is taking an exam or busy preparing for the exam, I suggest learning English. English can improve your memory and study efficiency. English speed reading is also recognized by our association. I hope you will make progress soon!
