1.1 The Importance of Reading
科学，技术和经济全球化的发展，英语的影响日益突出，在国际通信。作为最为重要的信息载体之一，英语已成为使用最广泛的语言延伸到人类生活的每一个领域。和阅读正在成为一种必不可少的手段学点英语，英语毕业论文，并获得所需的知识和信息。“阅读是非常重要的，每个人都在一个有文化的社会，识字已经成为一个博学的人”（努南，2017年，第249页）的设计特点。据调查，读书被视为普遍的四个最为重要的技能之一（别人听，说，写），许多学生，特别是在英语作为第二语言或外语学习的主要原因，英镑，学生易学的语言。ES关键还认为，阅读能力是重要的，因为口服技能，如果不是更重要的，因此，阅读教学在初中英语教学中可分离的组件，新出版的初中英语课程标准（2017年）明确指出，初中三级学生对阅读教学的目的是，首先，要培养学生更有效地阅读，培养学生良好的阅读习惯，培养他们学习英语的浓厚的兴趣。The development of science，technology and economic globalization make the role ofEnglish increasingly prominent in international communications. As one of the mostimportant information carrier, English has become the most widely used languagestretching into every field of human life. And reading is becoming an essential means tolearn English and to acquire knowledge and information needed. “Reading is veryimportant to everyone in a literate society，and being literate has become the designfeatures of an educated person" (Nunan, 2017，p.249).According to Carrell, reading is regarded as universally one of the four mostimportant skills (the others being listening，英语毕业论文，speaking, and writing)，for many students,particularly in English as a second or foreign language learning and the main reason forwhich students leam the language. Eskey also considered that the ability to read was asimportant as oral skills，if not more important. Thus, reading teaching is an inseparablecomponent of English teaching in junior high schools. The newly published Junior EnglishCurriculum Standard (2017) explicitly points out that the aim for Junior Grade III studentson reading instruction is，first of all, to train students to read more efficiently, to foster thestudents' good reading habits and to cultivate their strong interest in English learning.

Teachers usually ask learners to prepare lessons before classthrough looking up new words, pronunciation, translation, synonym, and so on.(Goodman.K.S. 1967; 67). There are other teachers, who seem to use some so-called advanced teaching methods，such as the use of multimedia, hierarchical teaching and theuse of advanced teaching concepts, but most of these activities are superficial. Students'unsuccessful comprehension may be thought to the lack of specific language proficiencyby most teachers in junior high schools ---perhaps a word was not in' Jhc student'svocabulary，a rule of grammar was misapplied, and an anaphoric cohesive tie wasimproperly coordinated, and so on. As a result, most of students in junior high schools feeldifficult in correctly comprehending a passage, particularly a passage concerning aboutsuch areas unfamiliar to them as technology, science，biology, and history，even they doknow the meaning of every word they still cannot make sense of the whole passage.
