答疑解惑
Section A Mini-Lecture
【听力原文】
Good morning, everyone. Last class we discussed some
of the shifts and trends in theories relating to reading. This
time we will examine tips which will help to develop our
abilities as learners in reading classes.
[1]These tips can be viewed in three consecutive stages:
before reading, during reading, and after reading. For
instance, before starting to read a text it is natural to think of
the purpose of reading the text. As an example of the
【答案解析】
1. consecutive

stages)给出，包括

题答案为consecutive。
during-reading techniques, re-reading for better
comprehension can be mentioned. And filling out forms and
charts can be referred to as an after-reading activity. These
tasks and ideas can be used to enhance reading
comprehension.
First of all, I will introduce to you some pre-reading tips.
Before the actual act of reading a text begins, some points
should be regarded in order to make the process of reading
easier. [2]It is necessary to provide the necessary
background information to the reader to facilitate
comprehension. In addition, pre-reading discussion
activities can lighten students' cognitive burden while
reading because prior discussions will have been
incorporated. Some key vocabulary and ideas in the text
should be acquired beforehand, including key concepts,
important vocabulary, and appropriate conceptual
framework.
The teacher may lead a discussion in which he/she
draws out the information students already have and
interjects additional information deemed necessary to an
understanding of the text to be read. Moreover, the teacher
can make explicit links between prior knowledge and
important information in the text. Therefore, involve
yourselves in this part.
[3]It is also necessary for students to become aware of
the purpose and goal for reading a certain piece of written
material. At the beginning stages this can be done by the
teacher, but as you become more mature, this purpose, i.e.
awareness-raising strategy, can be left to the readers. For
instance, the students may be guided to ask themselves,
"Why am I reading this text? What do I want to know or do
after reading?"
One of the most obvious, but unnoticed, points related to
reading purpose is the consideration of the different types of
reading skills. [4]Skimming is reading rapidly for the main
points; scanning is reading rapidly to find a specific piece of
information; extensive reading is reading a longer text, often
for pleasure with emphasis on overall meaning; intensive
reading is reading a short text for detailed information.
However, the four skills are often subsumed into one –
intensive reading. The most frequently encountered reason
is that when you study a foreign language, you feel the urge

to look up every word they don't understand and to pinpoint
on every structural point they see unfamiliar. To be aware of
the different types of reading, ask yourselves about the types
of reading they do in your first language.
What’s more, you must become familiar with the fact
that texts may take on different forms and hold certain
pieces of information in different places. Thus, it is
necessary to understand the layout of the material being read
in order to focus more deeply on the parts that are more
densely compacted with information. Even paying attention
to the year of publication of a text, if applicable, may aid the
reader in presuppositions about the text as can glancing at
the name of the author.
