普通高等教育十一五國家級規(guī)劃教材·英語閱讀技巧與實踐

前言

　　閱讀對于學(xué)習(xí)語言的重要性是不言而喻的。古人有言，“讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神”，指的就是閱讀對掌握語言、提高寫作能力所起的作用。另一說“讀萬卷書，行萬里路”，也包含著類似的意思。至于“青燈黃卷”、“寒窗苦讀”，則除了倡導(dǎo)發(fā)憤學(xué)習(xí)，還說明了對大量閱讀的重視?！　≌Z言學(xué)習(xí)是相通的。大量閱讀對掌握外語也同樣重要。閱讀有助于培養(yǎng)語感。對一種語言的感受，是建立在對該語言的頻繁接觸上的。對在母語環(huán)境里的外語學(xué)習(xí)者來說，可以說沒有大量閱讀就不可能產(chǎn)生對所學(xué)外語的語感，而沒有語感，則只能得語言之皮毛。大量閱讀也有助于增加語匯和表達(dá)方式，無論是本國語還是外語，我們所掌握的用以書面?zhèn)鬟f思想的詞匯和句法，大多是通過閱讀得來的，書讀得越多，掌握的表達(dá)方式也越多，表達(dá)能力也越強(qiáng)。閱讀對寫作所起的作用更為直接。通常，寫不好的根本原因，除了思想貧乏、邏輯混亂等內(nèi)在智力因素外，主要還應(yīng)歸結(jié)于讀得太少，沒有從閱讀別人的文章中學(xué)得自己寫作所需的語匯和表達(dá)方式。閱讀還能豐富我們的文化知識，培根就認(rèn)定“讀書使人充實”，而掌握有關(guān)國家的文化背景知識，對外語學(xué)習(xí)者來說尤為重要。一篇域外的文章，一部外國的小說，都會向我們展示一個新的世界，都有助于我們對其語言的了解和領(lǐng)悟。閱讀對學(xué)習(xí)外語的重要性是怎么強(qiáng)調(diào)也不會過分的?！　∪绻延⒄Z學(xué)習(xí)中的閱讀分為精讀和泛讀兩類的話，那么現(xiàn)時人們的注意力往往過多地置于精讀，而忽略了泛讀。精讀不能說不重要，古人也有“熟讀唐詩三百首，不會吟詩也會吟”之類強(qiáng)調(diào)精讀之說。問題在于我們大多著眼于試驗田式的小塊文章上的精耕細(xì)作’’（不厭其煩地釋義，反反復(fù)復(fù)地解釋語法，不無炫耀地解析詞匯等等），而把“大量閱讀”放在極其次要的地位。雖然設(shè)有泛讀課，但大多泛讀不“泛”，閱讀量極其有限，說到底不過是精讀的變種。盡管對一小篇課文的研讀可以把文中的詞匯與句式搞得滾瓜爛熟，對英語學(xué)習(xí)也有所幫助。

　　《英語閱讀技巧與實踐》系高等院校英語專業(yè)閱讀課系列教材，2001年獲國家級教學(xué)成果二等獎；2005年獲中國大學(xué)出版社協(xié)會優(yōu)秀教材一等獎；2006年被教育部確定為普通高等教育“十一五”國家級規(guī)劃教材?！　”緝缘闹攸c仍然是運用第一冊學(xué)到的基本閱讀技巧，千方百計擴(kuò)大詞匯量，提高閱讀速度和理解率。本冊每篇文章后都注明有單詞數(shù)，以便教師按教學(xué)大綱規(guī)定的閱讀速度組織教學(xué)。首先教師要求學(xué)生在規(guī)定的時間里讀完課文并做完第一大練習(xí)題（理解題），然后檢查答案。課文后還有很多其他練習(xí)題，除了快速閱讀以外，教師在本冊中要特別注重cloze test，因為它是對學(xué)生語言能力的綜合檢測。在做這道題時，教師不能只對答案，而應(yīng)教給學(xué)生如下技巧：上下文線索、習(xí)慣搭配、語法知識及常識。利用好這四條技巧，做題時一般能做對70％～80％。同時也要重視綜合改錯題，做改錯題的技巧與做完形填空題的技巧基本相同。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　PAssAGE 1　　Yellow Fevel　　[1]Hopes for a victory over the disease of yellow fever were raised still fur ther when one of a team of Rockefeller doctors，　studying yellow fever in Ghana，scored a major victory in the summer of 1927．Visiting a village where there wasan outbreak，the doctor took blood from a good-looking young African，Asibi byname。who had a mild touch of fever．The doctor now injected some of his bloodinto four animals including one monkey that had j ust arrived from India．Only themonkev went down with yellow fever．For the first time the virus of the disease had been passed into an animal other than man．Having animals that could be given the disease opened the way to new lines of experiments．　　[2] The Asibi virus was kept going from monkey to monkey．In this way they gradually developed a virus whose power to make people ill had been greatlylowered．But still it had enough strength to develop resistance in human beings．So from the blood of a West African a vaccine was finally developed that now protects millions of people from yellow fever．　　[3] Such，then，was the point reached in 1932．Yellow fever appeared to be onthe way out．a(chǎn)t least in the Americas．Then there occurred an outbreak in a countrv district in Brazil．This was strange，since yellow fever had always been believed to be a disease of the city，one that people caught by being bitten in their own homes by the city type of mosquitoes，bred within a hundred yards of theirhouses．Something much more surprising，however，was in store for themembers of the Brazilian Yellow Fever Service，when they reached the area．　　here was yellow fever in the district，without doubt．The Service found it was presentby all the standard tests．But there were no city-type mosquitoes，not one．　　[4]　One morning a doctor went into the jungle with some woodcutters．Hewanted to collect mosquitoes，but they weren't biting．The doctor was just readyto leave，when one of the men shouted that a tree was about to fall．He stoodback and watched the great mass come down．Sunlight streamed through the holemade in the roof of the j ungle and from the upper branches of the fallen tree rosea cloud of blue mosquitoes which circled around the men．E53 So it was learned that these blue mosquitoes，relatively rare on the floor ofthe j ungle，exist in great numbers in the treetops．There too，the monkeys live．This discovery completed a chain of facts about the way j ungle yellow fever iscaught and spread．It is mainly a disease of monkeys in the j ungle treetops．Theyare infected by the bites of several kinds of mosquitoes，blue mosquitoes being oneof the most conll Tlon attackers．The pattern is camed on frommonkey to mosquito andback to monkey．But men going into the jungle may also get the disease，particularly iftheir work disturbs the roof of the jungle．If the man bitten by an infected mosquitoreturns to a city where there are mosquitoes of the city type，he may start again thepattern of man to mosquito to man．　(about 550 words)　　Exercises　　I．Tick 0ff the best choice according to the information given in this passage．　　1．A further advance in the fight against yellow fever was made
