提高英语阅读能力可以使用SQ3R这种阅读方法：Survey，Question，Read，Recite，Review，即“浏览、发问、阅读、复述、复习”五个学习阶段。

SQ3R will help you build a framework to understand your reading assignment.

SQ3R将帮助你搭建一个框架从而理解你的阅读任务。

Before you read, Survey the chapter:

在你阅读之前，浏览一下章节:

·the title, headings, and subheadings

浏览目录，标题和副标题

·captions¹ under pictures, charts, graphs or maps浏览图片，表格，图表或地图下的文字说明

·review questions or teacher-made study guides回顾问题或老师制定的学习指南

·introductory and concluding paragraphs

注意开头和结尾段落

·summary

进行总结

Question while you are surveying:

浏览时的问题：

·Turn the title, headings, and/or subheadings into questions就题目，标题或副标题提问

·Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading阅读每个章节或每个副标题后面提出的问题

·Ask yourself, "What did my instructor² say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?"问自己，“老师布置任务的时候对这个章节或主题都讲了什么内容？”

·Ask yourself, "What do I already know about this subject?"问自己，“对这个主题我都知道些什么？”

Note: If it is helpful to you, write out these questions for consideration.This variation is called SQW3R.

注意：如果这对你有所帮助，试着把这些问题写下来以供思考。这就演变成SQW3R法（ Survey，Question，Write, Read，Recite，Review），即“浏览、发问、书写、阅读、复述、复习”。
