英语阅读理解总是错？掌握这3个技巧，考试时事半功倍

一、先题后文，忌一概精读

先看题目，再读文章——这种方法看似简单，却可以给考生节约很多宝贵的时间。该方法适用于所有体裁的阅读理解文章，尤其适用于应用文。因为阅读理解测试不仅考查受试者的精读能力，还考查略读和跳读能力，而应用文是最适合考查略读和跳读能力的体裁。

本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种骑自行车游览华盛顿的活动。答案依次是A、D、D。

通过浏览题目不难发现，三道题均为细节理解题。再阅读文章可知，三道题都是只需要阅读个别信息就可以找到答案。也就是通过先看题目，再读文章，利用跳读的方法，只需读几十词就可以快速且正确作答。

二、顺序寻找答案线索，特殊情况除外

通常一篇阅读理解的数个题目的答案线索在文中是依次出现的，特殊情况除外——例如，主旨大意题、标题归纳题、文章出处题、写作目的题等题目是建立在文章全部内容之上的，通常放在最后或最前面，解答这些题目的明显依据视文章具体情况而定。因此，答题时要避免做每一道题都盲目地从头到尾找线索，而应在上一道题的答案线索下方找本道题的答案线索。意识到这一点，我们在做题过程中可以节约不少时间。
