4．Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about． British physicist Stephen Hawking，possibly the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein，gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August．
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers． But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）．His books，Such as A Brief History of Time（《时间简史》），become best sellers in Chinese bookstores．"Hawking helps people expand their-horizons and become interested in science，"said Pan Yunhe，president of Zhejiang University．
Indeed，experts don't think it likely that Hawking's lectures and profound（深奥的） ideas will be easily understood by the average person． But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people．
And the"Hawking fever"caused by his visit has made people ask，"How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking？"
"Nurturing（培养）top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves，"said Zhang Fan．Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999and will be a sophomore（大学二年级学生）at Trinity College in October，2002．
In Britain，Zhang said，teachers encourage students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in． And they also encourage students to develop new ideas，which helps them to nurture their creativity．
In China，the Ministry of Education（教育部）has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap（开发）student potential（潜力）．
"I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations（想象力） and solve problems on our own，"said Lu Jie，a 9th grader of Sanfan Middle School in Beijing．

点评 一、速读全文，了解大意知主题．
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面．阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力．考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．
二、看题干，带着问题读文章．
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等．其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位．此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率．
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题．
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义．要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全．推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎．
猜词是应用英语的重要能力．它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇．我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义．
