　　附：高中英語閲讀技巧之略讀

我們把略讀也可稱為跳讀或者瀏覽。這是一種專門的非常實用的快速閲讀的技能。而所謂的略讀，實指儘可能快的閲讀，迅速地獲取文章的.大意或主題思想。也就是説略讀要求讀者有選擇地進行閲讀，可以跳過某些不必要的細節，而抓住文章的大概，從而加快閲讀的速度。

我們在進行略讀訓練時要注意以下技巧：

(1)要利用排版格式，如書或文章的標題、副標題、小標題、斜體字、黑體字腳註、標點符號等。對書和文章進行預測略讀。預測略讀要了解作者的思路、文章方式，以把握大意、有關的細節極其相互關係。

(2)以一般速度閲讀。閲讀文章開頭的一、二段，力求抓住文章的大意、背景情況、作者的文章風格、口吻或語氣等

(3)閲讀段落的主題句和結論句。聚統計，大約有80%的主題句是段落的首句，其他20%左右的是尾句。因此我們往往可以通過閲讀每段的首句或尾句來了解整篇文章的大意。

(4)注意關聯詞，如轉折詞however, moreover,序列詞firstly, secondly 等.
