英语四级考试的指导：如何提升你的英语阅读技巧

　　At first sight

　　Now that youve got a general idea of the topic, you can begin. Read the entire text over once without stopping. Dont worry about the details just yet. In the beginning, all you should be trying to do is get a feeling for the main idea. This is called skimming. When youre done, think about how much youve understood and remembered.

　　Its all in the details

　　Remember those questions you wrote down before? Now its time to find the answers. Read the text again, but this time, read it slowly and carefully. Look for any words or phrases that relate to your questions. This is called scanning. If you come across anything else thats interesting and important, underline that too. Once youre finished, you should have a fuller understanding of the text.

　　Words, words, words!

　　You dont have to understand every single word to understand the text. Pick out key words or phrases you dont know and write them down. But dont reach for the dictionary just yet! Try to guess the words meaning from context - the words or phrases around it. After youve taken a guess, go ahead and use the dictionary to see how close you were. You might be pleasantly surprised!

　　Final reading

　　By this time, you should be familiar with the text. Read it one more time. You can now focus on any unusual grammar structures or sentence styles. When youve finished, sit back and think about everything youve just learned. That wasnt so difficult, was it?
