《全新版大学英语(第二版)快速阅读1》部分原文A Country of ImmigrantsAs you walk along the street in any American city,you see many different faces.You see oriental faces of the United States,a country of immigrants from all over the world.Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland.These people generally hadlight skin and light hair.They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom.In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States.At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants,black Africans.These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States,where they worked on the large farms in thesouth.The blacks had no freedom;they were slaves.In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States.They came because of economic or political problems in their countries.The most recent immigrants to the UnitedStates,the Indochinese,Cubans,and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries.Except for theblacks,most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunities,of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States,these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background,language,andreligion.Therefore,there are neighborhoods in each U.S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group.There are all Italian,all Puerto Rican,or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn,Michigan,there is a large group of Lebanese.There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in New York.There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York.And,of course,there are economic neighborhooddivisions;in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture ofracial,language,cultural,religious,and economicgroups.People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients.The ingredients (differentraces,cultures,religions,and economicgroups)supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup.But,in reality,there are a few lumps left in the soup.Andrew CarnegieOne of the captains of industry of 19th century America,AndrewCarnegie,helped build the American steel industry,a process that turned a poor young man into one of the richestentrepreneurs of his age. Later in his life,Carnegie sold hie steel business and systematically gave his fortune away to cultural,educational and scientific institutions for “the improvement of mankind.”Carnegie was born in Dunfermline,Scotland,in 1835.The town was a center of the linenindustry,and Andrew?s father was a weaver,a profession the young Carnegie was expected to follow.But the industrial revolution that would later make Carnegie the richest man in the world,destroyed the weavers? craft.When the steam-powered looms came to Dunfermline in 1847,hundreds of handloom weavers became unemployed.Andrew?s mother opened a small grocery shop and mended shoes to support the family.“I began to learn what poverty meant,”Andrew would later write.”It was burnt into my heart then that my father had to beg for work.And then and there came the determination that I would cure when I got to be a man.”The family moved to the United States in 1848,and began a new life inPittsburgh,Pennsylvania.William Carnegie secured work in a cotton factory and his son Andrew took work in the same building as a bobbin boy for $1.20 a ter,Carnegie worked as a messenger boy in the city?s telegraphoffice.He did each job to the best of his ability and seized every opportunity to take on new responsibilities.For example,he memorized Pittsburgh?s street layout as well as the important name and addresses of those he delivered to.Carnegie often was asked to deliver messages to the theater.He arranged to make these deliveries at night-and stayed on to watch plays by Shakespeare and other great writers.In what would be a life-long pursuit of knowledge,Carnegie also took advantage of a small library that a local benefactor made available to working boys.One of the men Carnegie met at the telegraph office was ThomasA.Scott,then a director at Pennsylvania Railroad.Scott was taken by the young worker and referred to him as “my boy Andy,”hiring him as his private secretary and personal telegrapher at $35 a month.“I couldn?t imagine,”Carnegie said many years later,”what I could ever do with so muchmoney.”Carnegie was always eager to shoulder new responsibilities,and he worked his way up the ladder in Pennsylvania Railroad and succeeded Scott as head of the Pittsburgh Division.As the outbreak of the Civil War,Scott was responsible for military transportation for the North and Carnegie worked as his right-hand man.The Civil War fueled the iron industry,and by the time the war wasover,Carnegie saw thepotential in the field and resigned from Pennsylvania Railroad.It was one of many brave moves that would typify Carnegie?s life in industry and earn him his fortune.He then turned his attention to the Keystone Bridge Company,which worked to replace wooden bridges with stronger iron ones.In three years he had an annual income of $50,000.Carnegie would continue making huge amounts of money for the next 30 years.To improve the efficiency of his steel plant,Carnegie would make use of the Bessemer Process,which was the first cheap process for mass-producing steel.Carnegie threw his own money into the process and even borrowed heavily to build a new steel plant near Pittsburgh.Carnegie was strict in keeping down costs and managed by the saying “watch costs and the profits take care of themselves.”“I thi nk Carnegie?s genius was first of all,an ability to foresee how things were going tochange,”says historian John Ingram. “Once he saw that something was of potential benefit to him,he was willing to invest enormously in it.”Still,Carnegie?s steel plants developed rapidly,and by 1900,Carnegie Steel produced more of the metal than all of Great Britain.That was also the year that financier J.P.Morgan issued a major challenge to Carnegie?s steel empire.While Carnegie believed he could beat Morgan in a battle that couldlast five,10 or 15 years,the fight did not appeal to the 64-year-old man eager to spend more time with his wife Louise,whom he had married in 1886 at the age of 51,and their daughter,Margaret.Carnegie wrote the asking price for his steel business on a piece of paper and had one of hismanagers deliver the offer to Morgan.Morgan accepted immediately,buying the company for $480 million. “Congratulations,Mr.Carnegie,”Morgan said to Carnegie when they finali zed the deal, “you are now the richest man in the world.”Carnegie liked to say that “the man who dies rich dies disgraced,”and turned his attention to giving away his fortune.He disliked charity,and instead put his money to use helping others help themselves.That was the reason he spent much of his fortune on establishing over 2,500 publiclibraries as well as supporting institutions of higher learning.By the time Carnegie?s life was over,he gave away 350million dollars.I.M.PeiI.M.Pei is sitting in his living room and is talking about architecture or the designing of buildings. “It is not just an idea,but the way in which that idea is done,that is important.This is what I mean by the ?architecture of ideas.?I worry that ideas and the practice of architecture as a profession,as a business,do not come together often enough.”He stops,then adds: “Maybe my early training set me back.Maybe it made me too practical.”That is an unexpected comment from a man like Pei,who runs a business that employs manypeople and has important customers all over the world.I.M.Pei questioning the value of money.Yet his company,I.M.Pei &Partners,is more than just abusiness that designs buildings.It has always tried to bring together beauty and art with business sense,and today it is probably the leaderamong American architecture companies that do very well both artistically and commercially.It is hard enough to become well know either as an artistic or as a business success in architecture:to do so as both is unusual and surprising.I.M.Pei,a leader in his field for more than thirty years,seems to get better and busier as the years go by.One reason for his success is that he is well known as a kind and thoughtful person.But it is also because of the seriousness of his work.He believes in improving on and developing from styles and designs that have been used before,not in newness for its ownpanies hire himbecause they believe that his designs are strong and modern without being shocking.Pei?s style is based on geometric forms,like most of the architecture of modern times.But he has continued to use these forms while other important architects have begun to change theirstyles,making use of the forms of architecture from other countries and other periods in history.Ieoh Ming Pei was born in China in 1917,but he calls himself “an American architect -absolutely.”He went to the United States in 1935 to studyarchitecture,and remained there because of the war.In the late1940s he got a very good job and decided to become an American citizen.He has lived in New York since then,but he never forgotten the land of his childhood.In 1978 Pei was invited to design s hotel in China.It was a very difficult thing for him to do beca use “there seems to be only two choices - either to copy the old Chinese style with red columns and golden roofs or to build modern Western buildings.I do not think either of these is right.There has to be a third way.”Pei?s “third way”is very much li ke traditional Chinese architecture.It uses the same kinds ofmaterials and forms,and is only different in one important aspect:it well have a flat roof instead of a curved one because that kind is safer and less expensive.In New York City,IM.Pei&Partners will build a convention center,that is,a large building for meetings and shows that will be much bigger than the hotel in Beijing,and in some ways much simpler.In fact,the biggest problem is that the center may look too much like a large box.Therefore they are working to create a number of public areas within the one huge space.These will be used for other things even when there are no special meetings or shows,and will make the building itself into a tourist attraction.It is possible that Pei?s way of working may soon change,becoming morelike one or the other of the two major modern directions.He might decide to make more use of the styles and ideas of the architecture of older cultures (as he did with his hotel in China)or he might decide to treat his buildings even more artistically (as he did the Kennedy Library in Boston).But it does not seem likely that Pei?s work will move strongly in either direction.He believes his work gives hiscustomers what they want and he tries to make his buildings fit the jobs they are supposed to do.Internet Love Can WorkI had heard of the chat room on the Internet,but it had never appealed to me.Talking to total strangers that you cannot see struck me as too strange.One day I was surfing the net,when Idiscovered MSN?s chat rooms and making up a nickname decided to just watch and see what all the fuss was about.There on the screen were twenty or so people who were chatting away about anything and everything.As I studied the conversations,afraid to join on and expose myself as a “newbie”,I was drawn to one person.She was intelligent,witty and expressed a love of the UK,my home.Her name was Linda and she was from California,a part of the States I had never seen butwas interested in.So summoning up all my courage,I said hi and introduced myself.We began to chat and I found that it was very relaxed to the point that I was amazed when the conversation ended.We had been chatting for two whole hours,totally ignoring everyone else in the room.We parted company,saying that we hoped we would bump into each other again.All that next day,I wondered ifthat was just a polite goodbye or if she really wanted to continue our conversation.That evening I logged on,half of me hoping Linda would be there,the other half afraid that she wouldn?t.Sure enough,she wasn?t in the chat room and I sat at the computer screen only half reading the conversations that flashed up before me.Then Linda?s name appeared and with the usual “Hi room”, she said “Hi Vince”.My life suddenly became brighter in that instant.I kepttelling myself it was crazy,here was a woman I only just met,hardly knew and yet I had missed her all day.We chatted again,and the hours vanished,with the other chatters leaving us alone in the room.I had dated quite a few times in my then twenty-five years of life,but never had anyone taken my interest so completely as this stranger from across the sea.We discussed everything,ourlikes,dislikes,our troubles and our pleasures and the more we talked the more amazed we became at how much we had in common.Weeks went by and every evening we would meet up and talk,the two hours becoming three,then four.We exchanged pictures,but were both afraid we would blow it by doing so.And ,as I looked at her picture on my screen,I was amazed at the fact that no one had snapped up this American beauty in the years since her graduation from college.The weeks had become months and we both admitted we had feelings for each other,our friendship becoming something far greater.Then came the time that anyone who ever had an Internet relationship will know...the meeting.Linda had said that she would fly to the UK to meet me,but I insisted that I flew to the States.I explained to her my fears that should she come to me and for some reason we didn?t hit it off,then she would be a woman alone in a strange country where as for a guy it wouldn?t be so bad.Linda finally agreed and a week or two later I found myself on a plane winging my way to San Diego.We had arranged that I would be met by her brother who would drop me off at my hotel and that I would ring her once I had freshened up and she would come over and we would go out for a meal.Forty five minutes of pacing up and down after I made the call,there was a knock on the door.I opened the door to the most beautiful woman I had ever known.Both of us were nervous when we kissed hello.We looked into each other?s eyes and thatkiss became another filled with all the emotions that had developed over the months of online chatting.I stayed for two weeks taking Linda out after she finished work at the local hospital.And we fell head over heels in love.I returned home,and missed Linda like crazy,the online chat now seeming so pale in comparison with holding the woman I loved in my arms.Linda missed me too and so I jumped on a plane and went back this time for a month.This went on for five visits and each time I would extend my return ticket because we couldn?t bear to part.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

大学英语快速阅读1TheEarth27sAtmosphere带翻译
Unless it's raining or the wind is blowing, we don't usually pay much attention to the atmosphere, the blanket of air that surrounds the Earth. Yet, without the atmosphere, the Earth would be a desolate (荒芜的) planet with no signs of life!The atmosphere plays several roles in helping to make life possible. First, theatmosphere provides the three gases necessary for life: oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. All animals, including ourselves, breathe oxygen. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are both needed for plant growth. Less important atmospheric gases include argon, neon, helium, and hydrogen.Second, the atmosphere also protects us from most of the sun's high-energy ultraviolet light rays, which are harmful tolife. Although these rays are only a small part of the sunlight striking the Earth, they are known to be very dangerous. However, 99 percent of all ultraviolet rays are absorbed before they reach the Earth's surface. They are absorbed by an atmospheric gas, called ozone, a type of oxygen gas. The ozone layer surrounds the Earth but is much thinner over the North and South Poles than over other regions of the Earth.The one percent of the ultraviolet light in the atmosphere that does reach the Earth's surface is known to cause sunburn and is now believed to also cause skin cancer in many people.Because of this, doctors recommend that people limit the amount of time they spend in direct sunlight and wear a suntan lotion ( 防晒油) that blocks the ultraviolet rays when they do sunbathe.Finally, the atmosphere generates all types of weather such as clear blue skies and storms. It acts as a huge energy machine, changing sunlight into other forms of energy such as heat and wind. As part of this role, the atmosphere regulates the temperature on the Earth's surface. First it allows only 46 percent of the sunlight striking it to pass through and actually reach the Earth's surface. Second, carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere controls theamount of warmth on the Earth's surface that is allowed to radiate ( 发散) back into space. By these two controlling devices, the atmosphere regulates the Earth's surface temperature.Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following is trueaccording tothe passage?A.The ozone layer is much thicker over North America than over the North Pole.B.Ozone is a type of a nitrogen gas.C.Ozone can absorb some ultraviolet rays before they reach the Earth's surface.D.Ozone can protect us from anything harmful to our life.2.The main idea of the third paragraph isthat __ .A.the Earth is surrounded by a layer of ozoneB.99 percent of all ultraviolet light rays that reach the Earth's surface are absorbed by the ozone layerC.the o zone layer protects people from the sun's high-energy ultraviolet light raysD.ozone is an atmospheric gaswhich surrounds the Earth3.According to the article, carbon dioxide ________________________A.is a less important atmospheric gasB.controls the amount of warmth onthe Earth's surfaceC.allows only 46 percent of sunlightto reach the Earth's surfaceD.acts l ike a huge energy machine4.Doctors suggest that ______ .A.people should stay away from the sunlight to protect themselves from the sunburnB.people should block the ultraviolet rays when they do sunbatheC.people should wear a suntan lotion under direct sunlightD.people should know that skin cancer results from sunbathing5. The Earth would be a desolate planet without the atmosphere because __A.the atmosphere is mainly composedof oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen,which are indispensable to our life B.the a tmosphere plays several rolesin making life possibleC.the a tmosphere allows onlyharmless rays to reach the Earth D.the a tmosphere controls theamount of warmth on the Earth'ssurfaceComplete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1. The ozone layer over other regions of the Earth is____ than that over theNorth and South Pole.KEY: much thicker2. It is____that changes sunlight into other forms of energy.KEY: the atmosphere3.Although_____are mostly absorbed by the ozorie layer, doctors suggest thatpeople should limit the amount of time spent in direct sunlight.KEY: high-energy ultravioletlight raysCompared with argon, neon andhydrogen,are more important inhelping to make life possible.KEY: oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide5. The purpose of wearing a suntan lotion is toKEY: protect people fromsunburn and skin cancer 翻译：地球的大气层除非下雨或风在吹，我们通常不会注重气氛，周围的空气，地球毯子。

二年级时，我进了老师伦纳德夫人的班级。
伦纳德夫人很胖很美。
她有着金光闪闪的头发和一双黑黑的、笑眯眯的眼睛。
每个孩子都喜欢她，敬慕她，但是，没有一个人比我更爱她。
因为这里有一个不一般的缘故：我们低年级同学都有“耳语测试”。
孩子们依次走到教室的门边，用右手捂着右边的耳朵，然后教师在她的讲台上轻轻说一句话，再由那个孩子把话复述出来。
可是我的左耳先天失聪，几乎听不见任何声音，我不愿把这些说出来，因为同学们会更加嘲笑我的。
终于轮到我了，我把左耳对着伦纳德夫人，同时用右手紧紧捂着右耳，然后，悄悄把右手抬起一点，这样就足以听清老师的话了。
我等待着……然后，伦纳德教师说了八个字，这八个字仿佛是束温暖的阳光直射我的心田，这八个字抚慰了我受伤的、幼小的心灵，我八个字改变了我对人生的看法。
这位很胖、很美的老师轻轻地说道：“我希望你是我女儿！”2 人生第一课字数530 时间1’10”这是一家普通的幼儿园。
刚刚入园的儿童被老师带进图书馆，很随便的坐在地毯上，接受他们的人生第一课。
“孩子们，我来给你们讲个故事。
”于是，老师从书架上抽下一本书，讲了一个很浅显的童话。
“孩子们，”老师讲完故事后说，“这个故事就写在这本书中，这本书是一个作家写的。
你们长大了，也一样能写这样的书。
”老师停顿了一下，接着间：“哪一位小朋友也能来给大家讲一个故事?”一位小朋友立即站起来：“我有一个爸爸，还有一个妈妈，还有我……”幼稚的童声在空中回荡。
然而，老师却用一张非常好的纸，很认真、很工整地把这个语无伦次的故事记录下来。
“下面，”老师说，“哪位小朋友来给这个故事配个插图呢?”又一位小朋友站了起来，画一个”爸爸”，画一个“妈妈”，再画一个“我”。

每一章节都有练习测试题。
每一个测试题都附有答案。
可以检测自己是不是真的提升了。
在开篇的自我测试中，当下状态还是让自己小傲娇了一把：452个汉字/分钟的阅读速度，87%的理解率。
于是，定了一个1000字/分钟的小目标。
昨天定目标的时候，心理还是有点忐忑的。
今天的第二个小测试让我开始膜拜东尼博赞先生了。
就做了一遍提升的小练习，然后克制住了三个不良习惯，速度居然就到了790多了。
尽管理解率下降到了50%，但真的让我看到了突破的希望。
下午的时候，我把答案全部擦了，重做了一下。
阅读速度升至929，理解率升至78%。
大学英语快速阅读1The Earth's Atmosphere带翻译
Unless it's raining or the wind is blowing, we don't usually pay much attention to the atmosphere, the blanket of air that surrounds the Earth. Yet, without the atmosphere, the Earth would be a desolate (荒芜的) planet with no signs of life!The atmosphere plays several roles in helping to make life possible. First, theatmosphere provides the three gases necessary for life: oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. All animals, including ourselves, breathe oxygen. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are both needed for plant growth. Less important atmospheric gases include argon, neon, helium, and hydrogen.Second, the atmosphere also protects us from most of the sun's high-energy ultraviolet light rays, which are harmful tolife. Although these rays are only a small part of the sunlight striking the Earth, they are known to be very dangerous. However, 99 percent of all ultraviolet rays are absorbed before they reach the Earth's surface. They are absorbed by an atmospheric gas, called ozone, a type of oxygen gas. The ozone layer surrounds the Earth but is much thinner over the North and South Poles than over other regions of the Earth.The one percent of the ultraviolet light in the atmosphere that does reach the Earth's surface is known to cause sunburn and is now believed to also cause skin cancer in many people.Because of this, doctors recommend that people limit the amount of time they spend in direct sunlight and wear a suntan lotion ( 防晒油) that blocks the ultraviolet rays when they do sunbathe.Finally, the atmosphere generates all types of weather such as clear blue skies and storms. It acts as a huge energy machine, changing sunlight into other forms of energy such as heat and wind. As part of this role, the atmosphere regulates the temperature on the Earth's surface. First it allows only 46 percent of the sunlight striking it to pass through and actually reach the Earth's surface. Second, carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere controls theamount of warmth on the Earth's surface that is allowed to radiate ( 发散) back into space. By these two controlling devices, the atmosphere regulates the Earth's surface temperature.Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following is trueaccording tothe passage?A.The ozone layer is much thicker over North America than over the North Pole.B.Ozone is a type of a nitrogen gas.C.Ozone can absorb some ultraviolet rays before they reach the Earth's surface.D.Ozone can protect us from anything harmful to our life.2.The main idea of the third paragraph isthat __ .A.the Earth is surrounded by a layer of ozoneB.99 percent of all ultraviolet light rays that reach the Earth's surface are absorbed by the ozone layerC.the o zone layer protects people from the sun's high-energy ultraviolet light raysD.ozone is an atmospheric gaswhich surrounds the Earth3.According to the article, carbon dioxide ________________________A.is a less important atmospheric gasB.controls the amount of warmth onthe Earth's surfaceC.allows only 46 percent of sunlightto reach the Earth's surfaceD.acts l ike a huge energy machine4.Doctors suggest that ______ .A.people should stay away from the sunlight to protect themselves from the sunburnB.people should block the ultraviolet rays when they do sunbatheC.people should wear a suntan lotion under direct sunlightD.people should know that skin cancer results from sunbathing5. The Earth would be a desolate planet without the atmosphere because __A.the atmosphere is mainly composedof oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen,which are indispensable to our life B.the a tmosphere plays several rolesin making life possibleC.the a tmosphere allows onlyharmless rays to reach the Earth D.the a tmosphere controls theamount of warmth on the Earth'ssurfaceComplete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1. The ozone layer over other regions of the Earth is____ than that over theNorth and South Pole.KEY: much thicker2. It is____that changes sunlight into other forms of energy.KEY: the atmosphere3.Although_____are mostly absorbed by the ozorie layer, doctors suggest thatpeople should limit the amount of time spent in direct sunlight.KEY: high-energy ultravioletlight raysCompared with argon, neon andhydrogen,are more important inhelping to make life possible.KEY: oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide5. The purpose of wearing a suntan lotion is toKEY: protect people fromsunburn and skin cancer 翻译：地球的大气层除非下雨或风在吹，我们通常不会注重气氛，周围的空气，地球毯子。

• ④抓住关键词句:为了提高阅读速度首先应 抓住关键词句,因为它是联接上下文的纽带, 快速阅读时只注意瞬时关键词,其它便可迎 刃而解,抓住关键句子也就是找出主题句,主 题句是文章中用来概括大意的句子,主题句 往往是每个段落的第一个句子,有时可能是 最后一个句子,在特殊情况下可能出现在段 落当中,通过识别主题句,可以快速,准确地 抓住文章中各个段落的主要意思,如果能把 每一段落的大意抓住了,那么全篇文章的中 心思想也就把握住了,在阅读中识别主题句, 并准确理解其意思,可帮助我们了解作者的 行文思路,分析文章的内容结构,搞清楚各个 段落之间的逻辑关系,有利于提高阅读的速 度和理解的准确性.
• ③快速理解 --快速阅读的催化剂.“理解”
就是利用已有的知识经验,去获得新的知识 经验,并把新的知识经验纳入已有的知识经 验系统中。理解可分为直接理解和间接理解. 直接理解就是在瞬息之间立刻实现的,不需 要任何中间思维过程,与知觉融合在一起,在 这种情况下,主要是通过瞬间忆起以前所得 的知识,选取立刻所需要的知识.而间接理解 的实现需要通过一系列复杂的分析综合活动, 快速阅读用的是中间理解法,它包括:
②阅读文字材料的无声性
③阅读方法的科学性
阅读文字材料的快速性
• 要想达到此目的，关键是眼肌训练。 即用特殊方法，使眼肌能灵活自如， 达到视角，视幅，视停，视移等视觉 最佳状态，使视线如行云流水般地快 速阅读。
训练方法
• • 手指法—即目光随着手指左右、上下移动， 头不要摇动。 图谱法—如点,圆,抛物线等图形，目光沿着 图形而快速移动。 词谱法—用投影仪进行快速阅读的基本功 训练。 跳读法—所谓跳读法就是指眼光从一个 “字群”跳到另一个“字群”进行识读(字 群是由多个单词组成的)。这个过程眼球按 “凝视--跳跃--凝视”的程序进行连续、不 断运动。如
阅读方法的科学性
• 在阅读的时候,必须通过直觉,联想,想 象,逻辑分析和综合判断等一系列思维 活动,才能把顺次进入视觉的一连串文 字信号转换成概念和思想,完成阅读过 程。要完成其过程,必须进行科学阅读。 应具备以下几个条件:
• ①自信心:一个人要想在快速阅读上获得 成功,首先要有自信心,在快速阅读时,自 信心是很重要的,只要我们坚信我们能成 功,通过长期苦练就会实现的. • ②集中注意力:快速阅读的同时还要求快 速记忆,这就要求在阅读时,不仅要阅读, 而且要记,要理解,这是一个高难度的思 维活动,没有集中的注意力是很难保证 “速读”的完成的.

•
The man in /the brown coat/was re可进行扩大视力识读文 字的单位面积的训练.首先进行五个单词的练习, 练习是主视区总应放在中间,也就是主视中间的 3个单词,两边单词用余视力扫视.如: We/have a colour/TV
在练习五个单词达到熟练之后,就可加宽视区练习,一 下看六个单词,七个单词,甚至达到九个单词,逐渐加 宽视区范围,延长目光移视长度,这样就能缩短凝视时 间,达到快速阅读的目的.
阅读文字材料的无声性
• 上面我们介绍的只是快速阅读的先决条 件,速读的关键还在于“无声”训练。 在阅读速度上,无声要比有声快,这是因 为有声阅读是眼,脑,口,耳四个器官一 起活动,文字符号反映到眼睛,再传到大 脑,大脑命令嘴发音,耳在监听辨别正确 与否.而无声阅读只是运用眼和脑两大 器官,省去了口的发音和耳朵的监听,因 而它的速度要快。
• ⑤快速阅读能促使快速记忆.快速阅读时人 的注意力高度集中,连续的快速阅读是一种 强化活动,强化活动能够巩固和促进快速记 忆的成果.强化记忆有三个层次:一是死记硬 背(这是必要的,不可缺少的层次).二是联想 记忆.三是理解记忆.以阅读现代记叙文类 (童话故事,作文选等)为例:要求硬记的是文 题,作者,文中时间,地点,人物,姓名,名人名 句等;要求联想记忆的故事情节(事件起因, 事件发展,关键情节,高潮情节,事件结局); 要求理解记忆的关键词,关键句,中心语,段 首语,事件性质,人物命运,作者态度,人称变 化,词语概念,文章含义或中心思想等等.总 之,快速阅读能促进理解的质量,促进理解的 速度,促进快速记忆.
• 快速阅读的信息变换方式为: • 书面信息->眼睛扫描信息->大脑记忆 中枢的信息. • 用特殊的方法和手段消除读音和心音。 特殊手段就是用自身单声调鼻音,单声 调心声或外界背景音乐抵消并消除读 音和心音的手段。对特殊顽固的不发 音不能阅读的人,还可用一套自创歌曲, 边唱边读,最后达到无音阅读。
• 推断法:实行快速阅读的人往往根据几个单词 推断出一个句子,由句子推知整个段落的意思, 这就需要多读书,知识积累越多,知识面越宽, 理解力越强,快速阅读中的推断能力才能越高. 正是由于这种推断,眼睛才能停顿到最有信息 含义的地方上.英语中使用的推断法之一是学 会 略 过 那 些 无 关 紧 要 的 词 汇 . 如:The usual life span for shanghai men is 72 years.如果我们阅读时不知道"span"的 词义,我们也完全可以看懂句子意思是"通常 上海男子的寿命是72岁".推断法之二是利用 英语构词法推断词义,构词法由转换,派生与 合成三部分构成.
快速阅读技巧
阅读的目的
• • • • • • 扩大阅读范围 增加词汇数量 提高阅读速度 丰富语言知识 增强英语语感 培养学生独立阅读和广泛阅读的 能力
• 所谓快速阅读就是利用视觉运动的规律, 通过一定的方法训练,在较短的时间里阅 读大量的书报资料的一种科学的学习方 法.快速阅读这一概念的内涵应有以下几 个属性构成: • ①阅读文字材料的快速性
