参考答案

在英语教学中，我们一直强调听、说、读、写四种能力并重。根据我国的国情，我们认为阅读能力是英语水平的主要标志。在学习英语过程中，要提高阅读能力应该注重三种阅读方法：精读、泛读和快速阅读。本套教材就是要帮助高职高专等大学基础阶段的学生强化英语快速阅读的能力。
在母语环境中，我们进行阅读出于多种原因，其中兴趣是很重要的一个原因。然而，在以学习为目的的外语阅读中，阅读往往是一种能力的培养。我国的英语学习者在阅读中，比较偏重于词汇和语法，久而久之会养成逐词逐句地死抠词义和句子结构的坏习惯。有些学生简直是在破译“密电码”，结果对阅读的兴趣荡然无存。因此，我们以为，学生在阅读过程中应该注重阅读内容，并且养成快速阅读的能力。根据语言学家和外语教学者的研究，在保证理解阅读材料70％，的情况下，阅读速度越快越好。为此，我们编写了本套教材，旨在帮助英语学习者强化阅读兴趣，提高阅读速度和能力。
