如何提高大学英语四级阅读技巧

The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time" watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they're spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren't replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let's face it, who's got the time?
Question: We can infer from the passage that—
A. extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence
B. most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C. efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D. most parents believe reading to be benefit to children
The answer is D, this is the inference type .We can get the information “despite efforts get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading” The word “despite” in this sentence shows that:the reason why parents try to get kids more interested in book is that they think it is benefit for kids to read.
This type of questions doesn’t allow the students have themselves’ opinions. The student should try to keep the opinions together with the author and distinguish the fact and the opinions in the passage.

6. The organizations of passage
The organization of the reading passage plays an important role in reading comprehension. The author’s way of arranging the material to express his or her purpose is called the purpose of organization. Students need to recognize the organization that author arranged, then students can think along with the author and understand the passage better as well as to get the correct answer. [13]R112

7. Personal factors that influence reading rate
7.1 The background knowledge
Taking about the background knowledge, at first the students should know an important concept. That is the schema theory. According to the schema theory, all of the knowledge in our brain are arranged into some units, and these units are the schema, they play an important part in the reading process, they can cause people to think more something that are associated with the reading material, and think the material deeper So in a word, the schema is the general ideas about the world, people live in the world and get the knowledge from their experience and arrange these experience according to the setting and set up a schematic net in the brain .So the students who store the schema more than others and more complete than others, their ways of thinking will be more active and the ability of comprehension will be stronger, then the efficiency of comprehension will be faster. [14]R33 Vice verse, the efficiency of the comprehension will be slower. As the above mentioned the type of CET—4 passages include argumentation, exposition, and narration. So the amounts of background knowledge influence the reading comprehension and reading speed. If you understand the background knowledge of a passage, you will find it quite understandable and easy enough to read .On the other hand, if you know nothing about the passage. It would be extremely difficult and confused with the development of society, the nations in the world become closer than before. There are so many nations speaking English and “language is a reflection of culture language and culture are inseparable.” [15]R101 Some CET-4 reading comprehensions are related to some western countries’ culture (culture means the total way of life of people including the pattern of belief, customs objects, institutions techniques and languages that characterize the life of human community. [16]R58)
7.2 The interest in the material
Your interests in what you are reading influence your reading rate and comprehension. If you are reading about a topic that interests you, you are likely to read faster and with more comprehension than if you are reading a subject in which you have little or no interest. For example, if the students like sports, the passages about the sports will attract them, and they will read the passage quickly and have a better understand. Vice verse, the students will lose their interest in what they read.
7.3 The physical state
What do you think of the idea that physical state affects both reading rate and comprehension? When you are doing the test if you are extremely tired and hungry, or are depressed or worried, you may not be able to concentrate yourself easily and your reading speed may be affected.
Since you can do nothing to change the characteristics of a reading material .you can change you reading rate, you may deliberately slow down if you encounter a passage with longer and complicated sentences or an article that presents different conception, and complicated ideas. In a word, you should adjust your rate to characteristics of the reading material consequently. To be an efficient reader; you need to develop techniques that will help you read faster with comprehension

Conclusion
Reading is an important element in English study and the CET-4 reading section coves a large proportion in the test (40% of the whole test).and it has the validity to test the students’ reading ability. from the above statements, the reading test their own features and the ideas mentioned above ensure the countermeasures. so to do the test well will improve the students’ level of reading ability and will help them a lot in their English study ,but the skills and theory in this paper are not enough in this paper, students themselves should continue to research reading skills according to their study experience.
