湖南统招专升本英语阅读理解真题练习(正确阅读的过程)

　　Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At time, however, we become aware of it. This is usually we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning.When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.

　　Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important,especially for advanced readers.

　　There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.

　　译文

　　阅读被认为是读者与文本之间的一种对话。读者在课文中提出问题，然后得到答案。鉴于这些，他提出了进一步的问题，等等。大多数时候，这种“对话”都是在意识水平以下进行的。然而，在那个时候，我们意识到了这一点。这通常是我们遇到困难时，期望和意义之间发生不匹配。当成功的匹配被体验到时，我们对文本的质疑在无意识的层面上继续。

　　不同的人对课文的理解不同。有的离页面上的文字很近，有的则从文字中脱颖而出，进行解读、批判、分析和审视。前者是一种理解，写在文本中。后者代表更高的理解水平。这两者之间的平衡是很重要的，特别是对于高级读者。

　　从我们的观点来看，还有另外一个对话同样重要，那就是不是关于读什么，而是关于如何读。我们称之为“过程”对话，而不是“内容”对话。它关注的不是意义，而是我们在阅读中使用的策略。如果我们是高级读者，我们与文本进行内容对话的能力通常会得到很好的发展。我们进行过程对话的能力并非如此。正是这种对话在我们寻求发展我们的阅读，以满足更高层次的学习对我们提出的新要求时，是非常重要的。
