四个方法，让英语阅读速度“飞”起来！ 　　近年来，高考英语试卷中阅读文章的篇幅有不断增加的趋势，导致很多考生在考试时要么来不及做题，要么因为见到篇幅长的文章而产生恐惧心理，进而影响发挥。那么，有没有什么方法可以提高阅读速度呢？ 　　一、使用略读的方法提高阅读速度 　　如果试卷中出现很长的文章怎么办？对待这类文章，考生需要学会略读文章，在回答具体问题前能够通过略读获取文章的大意、作者的写作意图和文中所体现的态度。略读时，应该重点关注重要信息和作者的写作思路，而不要拘泥于细节内容。 　　略读时，只需要读文章的第一段和最后一段，如有必要也读一读每一段的开头一两句。现以2013年江苏卷阅读理解D篇为例，全文共有674词。下面是这篇文章的开头和结尾两段，我们使用略读的方法来读，看看是否能掌握文章大意。 　　Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise： the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism. 　　Was Twain a racist？ Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present， we will find nothing but error. Lincoln， who believed the black man the inferior of the white， fought and won a war to free him. And Twain， raised in a slave state， briefly a soldier， and inventor of Jim， may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century. 　　通过略读，我们可以知道，文章讨论了马克?吐温的小说中表现出的反奴隶制思想，文体是议论文。第一段是论点，最后一段是结论，指出：我们用现代的道德标准评判过去是错误的。 　　我们再略读一下文章中间部分段落的开头。 　　I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War... 　　Again and again， in the postwar years， Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial， at least today， of Twain’s novels， Adventures of Huckleberry Finn... 　　But the attacks were and are silly―and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery... 　　There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day... 　　通过略读，我们可以知道这篇文章的结构，作者用了《哈克贝利?费恩历险记》（Adventures of Huckleberry Finn）和《傻瓜威尔逊》（Pudd’nhead Wilson）两部小说来论证马克?吐温的反奴思想，并指出对他的攻击是不正确的。 　　要想提高整体阅读速度，考生要做大量的练习。如果方法得当，那么读得越多，速度就会越快。正确的阅读方法是以“意群”为单位阅读，一次看几个单词、一个短语或整个句子，不要逐字阅读，也不要边
