在閱讀理解遇到困難,水平停滯不前時,我就用"閱讀水平從量變到質(zhì)變"這句話安慰自己,后來發(fā)現(xiàn)確實有道理。除去做閱讀練習(xí)題,大約每周讀一份21世紀(jì)報,而且課文也是我的精讀材料。有同學(xué)到了高三就拋開課本去找各種各樣的課外讀物看,我覺得不可取。因為高三課本和考綱是配套的,所選的文章,在題材和難度上都和高考閱讀題的文章相近,包括科技、人物、歷史等豐富的內(nèi)容,還容納了以前學(xué)過的各種語法和句型。認(rèn)真讀懂并分析這些文章,對我有針對性地增強語感和理解能力,從書本過度到試卷起了很好的作用。所以,考前3到5個月我都是以作題和啃書本相結(jié)合,書本絕對不能放下。另外,在休息時間,通過看英語電視節(jié)目和聽英語歌曲等方式在娛樂中"閱讀",也是我積累"量變"的一個輕松途徑。
量變到質(zhì)變的過程中,時常總結(jié)很重要。好些同學(xué)覺得閱讀科技類文章比較難,但我卻在閱讀總結(jié)中發(fā)現(xiàn),比較起其他類型的文章它在結(jié)構(gòu)上更有規(guī)律可尋。一般容易在段首或段尾找出主題句,或發(fā)現(xiàn)每段的關(guān)鍵詞。
