1.發(fā)現(xiàn)事實一、什么是事實事實就是某些稱為細節(jié)的東西，是信息中的細小部分。事實存在于真實故事里——如報紙上報道的那些故事，也存在于傳說及人們編撰的故事里。二、怎樣發(fā)現(xiàn)事實在閱讀中，你可以通過設問來尋找事實。問who,其答案是有關人的事實;問what,其答案就是關于事物/事件的事實;問where,其答案就是關于地點的事實;問when,其答案就是關于時間的事實;問howmany或howmuch,其答案就是關于數(shù)目或數(shù)量的事實。三、選材特點1.題材廣泛,內容豐富。所選語篇的主題涵蓋了《普通高中英語課程標準（2017年版）》中的三大主題語境和十個主題群。2.材料真實，語言地道。本閱讀材料都是來自英語國家的書、報、雜志。在編輯過程中，為保持閱讀材料的語言風格及真實性，未對正文內容作任何改動。四、設題特點每篇短文后都有10個問題，它們都是關于事實的。也許你已經知道相關的事實，但你需要用故事里的事實來回答問題。五、閱讀提示1.請你帶著尋找事實的意圖去閱讀故事。注意有關人、動物和事物的名稱，尋找地點、日期和時間。2.仔細閱讀每一個問題，然后在故事里尋找與問題中的某些單詞相同的句子。3.請同學們根據(jù)自己的閱讀水平，每篇短文設定一定的時間進行限時訓練，這樣才有利于更高效地提高單位時間內的閱讀能力。4.

建議同學們做完每篇短文后，自己整理一下語言知識；同時把錯題歸類整理，不定期進行思考總結。閱讀材料Dutch
