Step 2.
运用skimming技巧,用2—3分钟读首段+每段首句(末句)+末段。目的在于:
1.理解文章大意;
2.弄清文章结构安排。首段为introduction, 末段为conclusion,首句(或末句)为topic sentence,所以认真读懂首段、每段首句(或末句)及末段、其他瞄过后,对作者意图、文章大意及结构都能了如指掌,从而便于第3步做题时快速定位细节。 Step 3.开始做题
以上所述示解如下:
Skimming the text means:
·Reading the title and headings
·Looking for captions of diagrams, tables, graphs and illustrations
·Skimming over the text for the general idea (especially the introduction)
·Ignoring unknown words
·Reading quickly for 2 to 3 minutes
