高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解專(zhuān)講專(zhuān)練[四]

　　默讀：

　　專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為，做閱讀理解不應(yīng)該是讀，而應(yīng)該是看。默讀有利于發(fā)展閱讀者的內(nèi)部語(yǔ)言，有利于強(qiáng)化理解，有利于提高閱讀速度。測(cè)試表明，我們朗讀時(shí)，一分鐘能念125個(gè)字就已很不錯(cuò)了，而默讀時(shí)，每分鐘可讀150個(gè)字以上，有人閱讀小說(shuō)時(shí)甚至可達(dá)每分鐘600字。

　　默讀時(shí)一定要做到如下三點(diǎn)：①全神貫注。這是有效閱讀最需要的心理素質(zhì)。②積極思維。默讀有利于思維活動(dòng)的開(kāi)展，有利于深層理解。③減少回視�；匾暵矢卟粌H限制了速度，也會(huì)對(duì)內(nèi)容的理解產(chǎn)生支離破碎的影響。

　　培養(yǎng)默讀習(xí)慣最好的方法是擴(kuò)大視幅快讀，讓你的嘴跟不上你的閱讀速度；我們也可用手指壓在嘴上或按住喉部，這樣就會(huì)逐漸改掉嘴唇抖動(dòng)的壞習(xí)慣。

　　Passage A

　　閱讀理解

　　As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.① At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

　　Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

　　At once he heard a police whistle (口哨聲), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.② A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn?t stop at that crossing.”

　　“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”

　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.③ Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”

　　Passage B

　　閱讀理解

　　Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.

　　There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high?rise flats.① Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.

　　Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (電器) such as rice?cookers which make life easy for the modern house?wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤氣灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.②

　　But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (電工).

　　根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案：

　　1. Accidents take place ____.

　　A. mostly in homes

　　B. mostly on roads and highways

　　C. mostly in factories

　　D. almost everywhere

　　2. Which of the following accidents may NOT happen in homes?

　　A. People may fall to death from high buildings.

　　B. People may be knocked down by cars on the roads.

　　Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.①

　　“At S｜4.99 a pound that will be S｜49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”

　　“Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.

　　“If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”

　　“My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”
