　　附：高中英语阅读技巧之略读

我们把略读也可称为跳读或者浏览。这是一种专门的非常实用的快速阅读的技能。而所谓的略读，实指尽可能快的阅读，迅速地获取文章的.大意或主题思想。也就是说略读要求读者有选择地进行阅读，可以跳过某些不必要的细节，而抓住文章的大概，从而加快阅读的速度。

我们在进行略读训练时要注意以下技巧：

(1)要利用排版格式，如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体字、黑体字脚注、标点符号等。对书和文章进行预测略读。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式，以把握大意、有关的细节极其相互关系。

(2)以一般速度阅读。阅读文章开头的一、二段，力求抓住文章的大意、背景情况、作者的文章风格、口吻或语气等

(3)阅读段落的主题句和结论句。聚统计，大约有80%的主题句是段落的首句，其他20%左右的是尾句。因此我们往往可以通过阅读每段的首句或尾句来了解整篇文章的大意。

(4)注意关联词，如转折词however, moreover,序列词firstly, secondly 等.
