附：如何培育良好的高中英語閱讀習(xí)慣?

1.音讀

許多人都有出聲閱讀的習(xí)慣。這種閱讀方式的主要弊端就是使閱讀速度和效率受到說速度的限制。由于正常默讀速度幾乎要比出聲朗讀的速度快兩倍以

上。此外，出聲閱讀往往以不同方式表現(xiàn)出來，有時(shí)是唇誦，有時(shí)是喉誦。讀寫活動(dòng)都會(huì)影響眼睛的掃視速度。因此，要克服這種不良的閱讀習(xí)慣，就要養(yǎng)成通過視

覺器官直接感知文字符號(hào)的視讀力量。

2.心讀

心讀是一種很難覺察到的閱讀習(xí)慣。在閱讀的過程之中，人體的任何部位，包嘴，頭喉都不動(dòng)。只是在心里自言自語，一字一句地讀出每一個(gè)詞。由于這

只是一種內(nèi)在的說話方式，因此要改掉比較困難。所以要強(qiáng)制自己在深化理解文章的同時(shí)，還要強(qiáng)制自己加快閱讀速度，才可以漸漸改掉這種壞的習(xí)慣。

3.指讀

指讀就是用手指，鋼筆或其他東西指著一個(gè)一個(gè)詞進(jìn)行閱讀的習(xí)慣。這種單純的'機(jī)械運(yùn)動(dòng)不僅會(huì)嚴(yán)峻影響閱讀的速度，而且還會(huì)把留意力引向錯(cuò)誤的方

向。況且對(duì)英語考生的要求不是考其留意單詞的位置，也不是讓其在每個(gè)單詞上都平均花費(fèi)時(shí)間，而是讓他們把留意力集中在要說明的思想內(nèi)容上。恰恰是這種

指讀的習(xí)慣阻礙了眼睛的運(yùn)動(dòng)，并限制了大腦快速活動(dòng)的
