There were guides with them, and the guides knew a lot about wild animals. During the day, their guides took them in a big car and they saw all kinds of animals. They saw lions, elephants monkeys and many other wild animals. Sometimes the animals came very close to them. Once an elephant started to walk towards them, and Julie and Rick felt very scared. The guide said, "It's all right. Don't move, please." He didn't seem afraid at all! After some minutes, the elephant walked away.

At night, the family slept in a tent. They could hear the noises of the animals. They said it was noisy, and sometimes they couldn't sleep! Also, they said it was very, very hot. But they loved their holiday and are going again next year.

1.明确阅读任务

同学们在做题的时候，首先要先阅读所给的任务，明确任务是什么，再带着任务去阅读，这样就能做到心中有数，有针对性地去读，才能提高阅读效率。

2.读全文，了解大意

明确任务后，要迅速阅读全文来了解文章主要内容，以及文章的感情基调、作者的意图等。因为大家知道在材料后的问题设置中，经常有对文章大意的考查。对于概括大意的题目，需要全篇考虑，这类题目有时可以从文中直接找到答案，但有时需要用自己的话来概括。这类题难度较大，对文章还得再读一读，才能总结出来。

除此之外，还经常考查给文章拟标题。这类题目可以通过寻找主题句和高频词来完成。主题句往往是首句或尾句，但如果没有主题句，就可以从短文中去提炼、概括。确定标题同学们必须遵循两个原则，第一个是标题要有概括性，就是说标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文，体现文章的中心大意；第二个是标题要醒目，即标题要吸引读者的注意力。

3. 再次阅读，逐题突破

第一遍泛读之后，同学们对后面的问题，已经有所了解，然后大家就可以用跳读的方式来寻找答案。还有一类情况大家要注意，就是要求同学们要解读深层含义的题。这一类题属于难度较大的题。在做这一类型题的时候，同学们要捕捉文章中有关的信息，把握文章的内在逻辑关系，立足原文，从字里行间捕捉一些线索，悟出作者想表达的深层含义。
