四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
Do you want to have a good TOEFL or TOEIC score? Maybe you should start thinking about extensive
reading. Extensive reading is simply reading a lot of English at a fairly easy level, with students being able to
understand the text without using a dictionary. Researchers have found that students who often read in English in
their free time tend to have high TOEFL scores and that reading was a better predictor of TOEFL performance than
even the number of years studying English and living in English-speaking countries.
In addition to gains on test scores, there should be little doubt that it helps students improve reading skills and
reading speed. Several studies have shown that students doing extensive reading for more than one year were
almost always better and faster readers than students who did the usual “difficult” readings in the classroom. What
is more surprising is how much extensive reading improves students’ writing skills as well as speaking skills. In one
study conducted in Tokyo in 1998, students in extensive reading programs were evaluated as 2-3 times better in
writing when compared with students who did not read much yet actually practiced writing more! In another study
carried out in Shanghai, researchers have found that students just reading graded readers improved in both fluency
and accuracy of expression in their speaking, even though the students did very little speaking during the course of
the study.
Extensive reading is not the only way to learn a language. Most language scholars would agree that language
students still need to spend a lot of time practicing speaking, listening, writing, and so on in order to become
advanced in the language. However, adding extensive reading to your private study can certainly do some great
things for your language ability. Give it a try and see what it will do for you!
