阅读进阶 Graded Reading
在前两期,我们学习了扫读句子关键词的方法。在这一期,我们将会在此基础上探讨段落的扫读。
扫读段落,判断细节位置
在做阅读题时,我们可以通过扫读题目的关键词来判断细节题的答案大概在文中的什么位置或是哪个段落,然后,再细读相关的段落,就很容易找到正确的答案。
测一测
请扫读题目中的关键词,然后猜测答案会在哪一段落。
If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know — the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk” with their hands, with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow (鞠躬). When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Sometimes women kiss (吻) their women friends and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands.

这是一篇中考阅读。下面两道题是考查对段落的细节理解。
1. When Indians meet, they _____.
2. In the USA and Britain, _____.
根据你扫读的结果,你觉得第1题的答案应该在第几段?第2题的答案在第几段呢?
现在我们一起来分析。

第二题的关键词是:USA and Britain。迅速扫读文章,你会发现“When British and Americans people meet someone for the first time”,显然,第二题的答案会在第三段里。
练一练
请扫读问题中的句子,找出关键词。然后,扫读三个段落,找出答案所在的位置。
