2019-2020年高一英語閱讀理解專講專練 Unit 2 English around the world 略讀略讀略讀(skimming)是利用較短的時(shí)間粗略地閱讀全文的閱讀策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的寫作意圖。這是一種高效的、有選擇性的、有針對性的閱讀技巧。掌握略讀這一技巧的關(guān)鍵就在于學(xué)會在閱讀過程中區(qū)別文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝節(jié)部分。一些次要信息要大膽略去不讀，迅速找出topic sentence，即找出概括全段大意的句子。在運(yùn)用這一方法閱讀文章時(shí)，要特別注意：文章的標(biāo)題；文章的首句或引導(dǎo)性段落；文章尾部的結(jié)論性詞語；反映段落中心思想的主題句。如果我們找到了每段的主題句，再將這些主題句集中在一起，就差不多能夠把握住全文的中心內(nèi)容了。Passage A閱讀理解What do you think of British people and American people?
