我們常聽到的閱讀測驗解題技巧，都是以下這種技巧:
1.先看題目跟選項
2.分析題目，提取關鍵字
3.回去文章找答案，精準定位原文
這對於敘述或故事的閱讀題確實可行，但對於最常見的議論文則不盡然，因為這除了忽略了閱讀的本質「回到作者內心本身」，還可能造成很多時間上不必要的浪費。

英文閱讀測驗考什麼?
題型一：考文章內容
文章主旨、內容細節、作者觀點、延伸推論，這部分就可以使用等下要教的技巧來解題。
題型二：考單字解釋
如果有背過這個單字是最好，如果沒有也沒關西，這部分必須要透過前後文去理解，推測出單字的意思。或是運用字根、字首、字尾等技巧去推敲出來。

英文閱讀測驗內容分析
理(觀點)
1.段首和各段的前1~2句
2.轉折語:but、however、yet、now、appear、sound、look、seem、while、…
3.賓語從句: …that…
4.冒號
5.重覆用語:in other words、to put it simply、…
據(why)
例子、數據、專家、實驗、故事、括號內的文字→”…”
如果據中有違背觀點的地方，就可以用轉折詞找到。如果沒有，那就只是用來證明主要觀點，所以不用看。

英文閱讀測驗解題步驟
因此，在閱讀議論文時，不要先看題目或是題目給的提示（第幾段，第幾句，誰說……），翻來翻去回頭找答案，更不用從頭讀到尾，只要直接找到作者的觀點，省略據的部分即可。
步驟一:看段首
步驟二:看各段的前1~2句
步驟三:找轉折語、賓語從句、冒號、重覆用語，專看這些地方
以下括號部分皆為理，黑字部分皆為據
除了段首要看，其餘都只要找到理的關鍵字(紅字)再讀即可
所以閱讀是用掃的，找出含有「理」的關鍵句再看，不是從頭讀到尾
(When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly.) Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, (reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. )These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.( What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.)
(Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.) It’s a plant’s way of crying out. (But is anyone listening?) Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.
(Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.) (But others do double duty.) They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. (The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.)
(In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .) The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, (but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.)
(Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know.) Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to 「overhear」 the cry. (So information was exchanged,but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.)
(Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(親密的)than the world we can see and hear.) Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.
