阅读是英语理解能力的表现形式，也是词汇、句式、语法的综合运用。阅读包含朗读（认读）和理解，也就是说一篇文章既要能够朗读下来，也要理解短文的意思，进而完成与短文相关的题目。所以理解部分也称为阅读理解。
阅读是一个比较综合的题目，对所掌握的英语技能的程度要求比较高。所以在同学们平时的学习中，既要重视对英语基础知识的掌握，又要养成阅读的好习惯，加强练习。
1、当你拿到一篇短文时，先要通读全文。切记不要一上来就一句一句地看，一句一句一理解，这样做会影响你对整篇文章的理解和认识。在通读文章的时候如果遇上生词，先不要管它，略过生词继续通读全文。
2、读完第一遍，再从头阅读。这一遍要注意句式和语法，了解文章内容，特别是事件发生的时间，同时来猜测一下生词的含义。
3、在你读第三遍的时候，要关注文章中提到的人物、时间、地点、发生了什么事等信息。这样你就可以完全了解文章
一般说来，在练习、考试中完成阅读理解的题目和去阅读一篇文章是有区别的。在练习、考试中阅读一篇文章更多的是为了完成各种题目，而并非要真正对一篇文章有全面的了解，所以方法上会有一些不同。
1、首先要关注文章的题目，因为题目往往就是文章的中心所在。
2、其次在认读整篇文章后，要关注文章中出现了哪些人物，提到了什么时间，说到了哪个地点，发生了什么事情，这些都是你完成题目的关键信息。
3、第三要看清题目的形式，通常会有3种类型：（1）选择题;（2）判断题；（3）回答问题。在这三种形式中，相对而言，判断题的难度最小，回答问题的难度比较大。完成判断题的选择题最为有效的方法，也是同学们使用最多的方法是用题目中的句子去和文章里的原句对照，通过对照进行判断或选择。在完成回答问题的题目时，先要读懂问句的意思，再从文章中找出相应的内容，在对问题进行笔答时，要注意句式、人称与动词的形式、时态等。
(一) 根据短文内容判断正（T）误(F)
此类题目要求快速浏览所给图片和文字，初步把握内容，了解大意；然后细读，抓住主要内容和细节，标出关键词语，以便验证；也可以先浏览题目，明确要求后再看文章，然后做出判断。这样不但节省时间，提高速度，而且可以抓住重点，做到有的放矢。
