湖南統招專升本英語閱讀理解真題練習(正確閱讀的過程)

　　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.

　　譯文

　　閱讀被認為是讀者與文本之間的一種對話。讀者在課文中提出問題，然后得到答案。鑒于這些，他提出了進一步的問題，等等。大多數時候，這種“對話”都是在意識水平以下進行的。然而，在那個時候，我們意識到了這一點。這通常是我們遇到困難時，期望和意義之間發生不匹配。當成功的匹配被體驗到時，我們對文本的質疑在無意識的層面上繼續。

　　不同的人對課文的理解不同。有的離頁面上的文字很近，有的則從文字中脫穎而出，進行解讀、批判、分析和審視。前者是一種理解，寫在文本中。后者代表更高的理解水平。這兩者之間的平衡是很重要的，特別是對于高級讀者。

　　從我們的觀點來看，還有另外一個對話同樣重要，那就是不是關于讀什么，而是關于如何讀。我們稱之為“過程”對話，而不是“內容”對話。它關注的不是意義，而是我們在閱讀中使用的策略。如果我們是高級讀者，我們與文本進行內容對話的能力通常會得到很好的發展。我們進行過程對話的能力并非如此。正是這種對話在我們尋求發展我們的閱讀，以滿足更高層次的學習對我們提出的新要求時，是非常重要的。
