托福阅读考试，提高阅读速度能有效地提高答题效率。其实，托福阅读解题的过程实际上也就是两大快速阅读技巧的结合：略读(Skimming了解中心) +查读(Scanning查找细节)。 skimming 和scanning 都要求能快速准确地识别关键词或词组(定位速度)。而恰恰这一步是大家所不熟悉和忽略的。这肯定不是词汇量不足的问题。要真正提高阅读速度，必须首先提高定位速度。

　　这里给大家介绍一下“扫视定位法”，即变逐字、逐句阅读为字群、词群、意群阅读，用一目一行，一目多行等方式，以高于平时精读几倍乃至几十倍的速度扫视阅读材料，从而快速在原文中定位到题干中的关键词。

　　具体做到：避免眼球没有规律的扫视； 避免中途回视;加快眼动速度，逐步扩大“视知觉广度”。“视知觉广度”大，由于眼球注视时间短和中途回视的次数少(眼动速度快)，阅读的平均速度就比较快。

　　以下练习是为提高眼动速度，加强对单词和词组的视觉感知而设计的。大家在练习时要抱着实验的心态，忘记对错误的担心，严格按时间要求完成训练。相信只要你认真练习，并且在做题时实践，一定会对托福阅读有新的感悟。更或是顿悟?
