第二节 阅读填空（每小题1分，共5分）
Do you find it hard to understand what you read? You are not alone. Many students spend hours on a passage but still cannot tell what the main idea is.
51. Here are some simple ways that can help.
Preview the passage before you start. Look at the title, headings, and any pictures. Ask yourself what you already know about the topic. 52. Previewing saves time and makes reading easier.
While reading, try to find the main idea of each paragraph. Pay attention to the first sentence because it often tells you the key point. 53. Doing this helps you follow the writer’s logic more easily.
Another useful skill is to take notes. Write down keywords or short sentences in the margins. 54. It also makes it easier to review the text later, especially when you are preparing for exams.
Finally, don’t be afraid to reread difficult parts. Sometimes you need to read a paragraph twice to fully understand it. With these simple strategies, reading will no longer be a painful task. 55.
A. It gives you a general idea and helps you predict what comes next.
B. Keep practising, and you will find the joy of reading.
C. Taking notes in this way helps you remember and connect ideas.
D. The problem may not be the passage, but how we read it.
E. Ask yourself: “What is the writer trying to say in this part?”

51. D 52. A 53. E 54. C 55. B
