阅读理解在每套英语试题中都占有很重要的分值，需要大家特别重视。解答阅读理解时，一般遵循先读文章后的题目，标识出关键词（信息点），带着问题去阅读，做到心中有数，这样能够提高做题效率；在阅读过程中，将题目答案的原文信息源做好标识，这样能够做到自己的答案有凭有据，有助于提高自己的做题信心、有利于回头的自我检查。如第一小题 “为什么作者在新中学里成绩落后？”，我们通过第三段中的I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. 可以看出，作者在新学校里学习成绩落后，是因为没有在学习上付出。那么，我们就把第三段中的这句话标出来，标上题号。另外，大家在日常学习过程中，一定要加强词汇积累，只有词汇基础雄厚了，阅读过程中的障碍才会少。
