　　作为toefl 考试的第一个难关---Reading, 一直是我国考生”听说读写”里最拿手，一起又是最容易失分的。所以这篇里面首要介绍下在做Reading标题的两个首要techniques, 也即是scanning and skimming.

　　作为First step的Scanning首要是依据key words定位到文章中某一句或某一个词。而别的一个特别主要的second step: skimming则需要能够跳着读。最直接的一个请求即是要找到连接词conj. words. 1st, Reading里最高频的And but以及这两词语的近义词; 2nd, because，so that表示因素成果的词语; 3rd, 做timing的词语,ago, 1989, then, etc; Last but not least, 像你现在读的这句话里面用到的 1st, 2nd, last 这些让你整个人看文章舒畅许多的词汇。这么做的意图即是化繁为简，把一段1000字左右的话simplify为仅10个字不到的构造，了解到阶段的main idea和大致构造，更主要的是能够把scanning出的key words 地点的意思和question里面要找的essential information意思和效果分析出来。Let’s take this paragraph as an example:

　　The majorityof three-dimensional representations, whether standing, seated, or kneeling,exhibit what is called frontality: they face straight ahead, neither twistingnor turning. When such statues are viewed in isolation, out of their originalcontext and without knowledge of their function, it is easy to criticize themfor their rigid attitudes that remained unchanged for three thousand years.Frontality is, however, directly related to the functions of Egyptian statuaryand the contexts in which the statues were set up. Statues were created not fortheir decorative effect but to play a primary role in the cults of the gods,the king, and the dead. They were designed to be put in places where thesebeings could manifest themselves in order to be the recipients of ritualactions. Thus it made sense to show the statue looking ahead at what washappening in front of it, so that the living performer of the ritual couldinteract with the divine or deceased recipient. Very often such statues wereenclosed in rectangular shrines or wall niches whose only opening was at thefront, making it natural for the statue to display frontality. Other statueswere designed to be placed within an architectural setting, for instance, infront of the monumental entrance gateways to temples known as pylons, or inpillared courts, where they would be placed against or between pillars: theirfrontality worked perfectly within the architectural context.

　　我猜许多人应当没耐性把这么长一段自始至终看一遍吧，就算是现在spare times，let alone考试的时分时刻那么严重，更会觉得puzzled andconfused. So let’s make life easier. 看下下边highlight的有些：

　　The majority of three-dimensional representations, whetherstanding, seated, or kneeling, exhibit what is called frontality: they facestraight ahead, neither twisting nor turning. When such statues areviewed in isolation, out of their original context and without knowledge oftheir function, it is easy to criticize them for their rigid attitudes thatremained unchanged for three thousand years. Frontality is, however,directly related to the functions of Egyptian statuary and the contexts inwhich the statues were set up. Statues were created not for their decorativeeffect but to play a primary role in the cults of the gods, the king,and the dead. They were designed to be put in places where these beings couldmanifest themselves in order to be the recipients of ritualactions.

　　What about now?从这几个词语应当是能够迅速整理出这一段的几处转机的当地，讲了哪几个方面，以及哪个有些author写的对比多点吧。接着就能够对照options，选出那个给你加分的正确选项。

　　别的给两类同学大约做个Plan list: 通常有3个月时刻备考的孩纸们大约有这么三个stages：Stage 1 tpo你自己挑个的吉利数字比方tpo 6 8,whatever you like, 根本一星期一篇的节奏，找到每篇里的这个conj. Words; Stage2 TPO 18 19 20 21 这几篇是难度较大的篇幅, 和标题对照着开端着手做题; Stage 3 TPO 33 34 这几篇开端限时练习。关于备考1个月的孩纸: 直接从TPO 18 19 30 21这几个重点华章开端，最终一段时刻即是TPO 30及今后的限时练习。

　　All in all, 记住常见的几个套路词：but 转机词; cause 因素词; for instance 比如词; long long ago 时刻词, etc. 眼熟这些词，把一段文章自始至终skimming出这些词，一起也即是1-2min内把paragraph的骨干理出来了。准时完结task，养成习气，you’re not afraid then, besides, 做题速度也会蹭蹭的进步,并且准确率也刷刷的变高。
