摘  要

随着社会的发展，为满足21世纪—知识经济时代的要求，我国不断进行教育改革。人们越来越多的重视并倡导“均衡发展计划”。与此同时，人们还认为英语的学习和教学应该被视为是英语学习的四项技能（听，说，读，写）全面发展的过程。不过，阅读学习这一技能对于英语学习者是相对困难的一项技能。在21世纪，学生阅读差这一问题变的越来越严重，所以由教育部发布的新英语课程标准明确表明了提高学生的阅读的重要性。为了解决这一问题，英语教学改革家开始把训练学生的阅读能力放在优先发展的地位。阅读是交流的重要方式，通过阅读，人们可以获得信息。所以，阅读在大学英语教学中扮演了重要的角色。然而，很多学生没有掌握阅读技巧，他们不知道如何有效地进行阅读。本文从大学生阅读过程中存在的问题出发，提出了一系列提高学生阅读能力的阅读技巧，例如改变传统的阅读方式、略读和跳读、猜词能力、扩大阅读范围、形成好的阅读习惯等，以提高学生的阅读速度和阅读理解能力。

Abstract

With the development of the society, our country constantly carries out the educational reform to meet the demand of the 21st century — the era of knowledge economy. More and more emphasis is being put on “the program of balanced development”. Meanwhile, English teaching and learning should be regarded as a course of all-round development of the four skills, which are reading, speaking, reading and writing. However, reading is a relatively difficult skill for the students. The new English curriculum standard issued by the Education Ministry stresses the importance of improving the students’ reading ability, because at the beginning of the 2000s’, the problem of the students’ poor English reading ability is becoming more and more serious in China. In order to solve this problem, the English teaching reformers begin to put priority on the training of reading skills. Reading is an important way of communication. Through reading, people can be well informed. Therefore, reading plays a key role in college English teaching. However, a lot of students are not skilled at reading. One of the problems is that they do not know how to read. By analyzing the reasons of students’ poor reading ability, this paper suggests the following effective reading shills: changing the traditional ways of reading, improving students’ skills of skimming and scanning, cultivating abilities of guessing and limited reading, enlarging the scope of reading, forming students’ good habits of reading. By using these skills, students’ speed of reading and reading comprehension can be improved.
