高一英语阅读理解2略读

高一英语阅读理解专讲专练含答案及解析二

略读

略读(skimming)是利用较短的时间粗略地阅读全文的阅读策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的写作意图。这是一种高效的、有选择性的、有针对性的阅读技巧。掌握略读这一技巧的关键就在于学会在阅读过程中区别文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝节部分。一些次要信息要大胆略去不读，迅速找出topic sentence，即找出概括全段大意的句子。

在运用这一方法阅读文章时，要特别注意：①文章的标题；②文章的首句或引导性段落；③文章尾部的结论性词语；④反映段落中心思想的主题句。如果我们找到了每段的主题句，再将这些主题句集中在一起，就差不多能够把握住全文的中心内容了。

Passage B

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. But you should not be upset (难受的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.②

Passage C

阅读理解

If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”

These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments (实验) to test the learnwhileyousleep method (方法), which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.

Scientists say that this sleepstudy method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleepteaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.①

In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary (词汇) were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on.② At 5 oclock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.

根据文章内容，选择正确答案：

1. By the learnwhileyousleep method, one____ .

A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep

B. learns how to sleep better

C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep

D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed

2. In the experiment, lessons were given____ .

A. in the night time

B. after lullabies were broadcast

C. while the student was awake

D. all through the twelve hours

3. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____ .

A. get up and take breakfast

B. be woken up by a loud voice

C. listen to the lesson again in sleep

D. review (复习) the lesson by himself

4. The sleepstudy method is being tried in many countries to teach____ .

A. the English language

B. grammar and vocabulary

C. a number of subjects

D. foreign languages

① However, sleepteaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake. 然而，睡眠教学法只会使你记住清醒时已学过的东西。
