Including: in order to read the exam,
For the writing test,
For education
For interest.
1. First of all, it is undeniable that reading comprehension is to complete the topic at the back of the article in the shortest time.
Perhaps it is for this reason that many teachers in cram schools put forward various skills to do a topic even without reading and understanding the article. On the one hand, I think there are some tips that can help us complete some questions that require details without reading the full text, such as the meaning of some rare words in the senior high school entrance examination in Saida in the context; On the other hand, I think students should take grasping the main idea of the article as a main goal, which can not only help us better complete some survey topics, but more importantly, make us feel that reading comprehension is a meaningful thing, so as not to be alienated into an examination machine in this process.
Secondly, English reading comprehension should help us learn English writing better.
At present, the arrangement of teaching listening, speaking, reading and writing separately in most cram schools is actually debatable. As we all know, to write a good article, you must read and imitate a lot. Reading comprehension has at least two advantages for writing: first, reading can broaden our knowledge and ideas, which is especially important for many writing candidates who have nothing to say; Secondly, reading can help us get familiar with English grammar and vocabulary, especially the structure of sentences and the usage of words in sentences. If these skills can be applied to writing, our writing ability will be greatly improved.
The above two items are for the exam.
However, the purpose of study should not be just for exams. It is very important for students who take exams abroad to get good grades, but once we get the offer, these grades are no longer important. What really matters is the skills, knowledge and ideas we have learned in the preparation process. I will attribute the third purpose of reading comprehension to being educated, or becoming a more literate person. Originally, the literal meaning of culture in Chinese is to educate with words, so reading is naturally an important means of education. For those students who are about to go abroad for further study, it is our goal to be influenced by English culture through reading. Therefore, when reading and understanding, we should always remind ourselves that we are communicating with an author through these English texts, and we can learn about foreign cultures and customs through this author. Perhaps, with this mentality and purpose, reading is no longer a burden for us.
Finally, I think even for the purpose of education or understanding culture, it is still very utilitarian.
As Confucius said, those who love are better than those who know, and those who enjoy are better than those who love. ? The ultimate goal of reading comprehension, I think, is to better understand the information and artistic conception that the author wants to express, to improve himself by contacting a wiser and deeper soul than himself, and to get happiness and happiness from it. As a Saida reading teacher, my students and I stood at a brand-new starting point. On their way, there are many great literary masters, scientific masters and thinkers waiting for them in American university textbooks and reading materials. I have the responsibility to help them find the pleasure of reading and embark on a happy journey of enjoying reading and lifelong learning.
Narrative reading mainly focuses on four elements: time, place, the cause, development and result of people and things, and the relationship and performance between characters, from which its ideological quality and personality characteristics are analyzed. Argumentation is to clarify the author's position and viewpoint on people or things, so when reading, we must correctly grasp the arguments and arguments of the article, clarify the argumentation ideas, and then draw conclusions through logical reasoning; Practical writing is the style closest to daily life, including notices, advertisements, notes, applications and resumes. It has various forms and different themes, such as charts, tables, addresses, websites and so on. When reading this style, we should grasp the required information concisely and understand the content of the article.
Summarize the main points of the whole excerpt
Reading comprehension is an understanding of the purpose, intention, viewpoint, position, attitude and internal logical relationship of the whole article, rather than a one-hole view taken out of context, so reading the whole article and questions will provide you with information or hint at some important details in the article.
For example, in 2002, when reading and answering the test paper C of a senior high school entrance examination in a city, through the arrangement of the whole test paper and the setting of the topic, we saw not a few words, but the embodiment of humanistic thought and the complementary relationship between human beings and natural ecology, thus drawing the sixth sub-topic: learning from the short passage _ _. The answer is B.
That is, rainforest people have done something to protect their homes.
When reading the whole article, we should pay attention to the extracts of the main points, because some explicit answers can be obtained directly from the main points, while implicit answers can only be obtained through understanding the whole article. Reading the whole article and extracting the main points are also conducive to saving time during the inspection.
Use your head to guess the meaning of words.
The basic requirements of junior high school English teaching stipulate that students can guess the meaning of words according to the context and read language materials containing 3% new words without the help of dictionaries. In other words, this is the process of promoting students' knowledge internalization. Students should transform implicit psychological activities into explicit behaviors through knowledge internalization, and the internalization process can be completed by the following methods:
Guess the meaning of words according to the context.
For example, a city's 2003 senior high school entrance examination simulation question, read in chapter B, passed away, and guess the meaning according to the above boy who stayed at home because of illness and the following letter to Rick. Dead? .
Guess the meaning of words according to word formation
The prefix un indicates antonyms, such as: happy-unhappy, fair-unfair, important-unimportant, etc.
The suffix -ment indicates nouns, such as: develop-development, state-statement, argue-argument, etc.
The suffix -er, -or or -ist indicates cognate nouns, such as: calculate-calculator, visit-visitor, law-lawyer, wai-waiter, science-scientist, art-artist, etc.
Understand the article with knowledge and life experience
For example, according to chemical knowledge, it can be understood that water is composed of oxygen and hydrogen. According to life experience, we can understand that green plants release oxygen and suck in carbon dioxide.
Understand this article according to logical reasoning.
Logical reasoning is actually an article? Moral? 、? The implication? . For example, Zhabei district entrance examination simulation paper read C answer, according to: did the police take your driver's license, too It can be inferred that question 6: Why does the other person ride a bike instead of sharing a car? The answer is: because the police have taken away his driver's license.
Another example is: then they turn to the second picture. The assistant intends to pull the cloth as before. As soon as he touched the cloth, he cried, "Great, this is the best painting I have ever seen!" It can be inferred that the second picture is a piece of cloth.
Understand long sentences by analyzing them one by one.
Long sentences are one of the difficulties in junior high school students' reading comprehension. Long sentences usually contain structures such as juxtaposition, compound and inversion. For this kind of sentence, we should distinguish between primary and secondary, first find out the subject, predicate, object, definite, form and complement of the sentence, and then find out the clause or phrase that modifies it. For example, parents whose children showed particularly interesting particle sports made different decisions about their children's career. First of all, it is clear that the subject, predicate and object are ceded by parents. Then find out whose children show a particularly interesting modifier of granular sports. It is the attributive clause of parents, and it is difficult to modify the decision, while making a decision about children's career is the attributive of infinitive. After analysis, this sentence is not difficult to understand.
