现行大学英语(文理科)教学大纲明确规定“培养学生具有较强的阅读能力”为外语教学的首要任务。实际上,外语教学主要是通过听、说、读、写、译五种语言基本技能的严格训练,培养学生运用外语交际的能力。其中,阅读能力的培养和提高至关重要。通过阅读可以拓宽学生的知识面,增长语言知识(词汇、语法等),发展语言能力,提高外语水平。 The current syllabus of college English (liberal arts) clearly stipulates that “cultivating students with strong reading ability” is the primary task of foreign language teaching. In fact, foreign language teaching is mainly through rigorous training of the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating in five languages ​​to cultivate students’ abilities to use foreign language communication. Among them, the cultivation and improvement of reading ability is very important. Through reading, students can broaden their knowledge, increase their language knowledge (vocabulary, grammar, etc.), develop their language skills and improve their foreign language skills.
