1、平心静气审题，切忌粗心。在解答阅读题时，千万不要慌，要静下心来，按照由易到难，由浅入深的思维方式，先从容易的入手，逐渐的打开思路。
2、仔细研读语段，整体感知文章内容。通常阅读一篇文章，第一遍需要速读，首先要重点理解文章的体裁是记叙文还是说明文。答题时切忌文章都没完整的阅读过，就匆匆忙忙地写答案。最好先把文章从头到尾通读一遍，对文章有一个整体的认识和理解。
3、巧妙借助\原话\，确定解题空间。在通读全文的基础上，将要回答的问题放到阅读的文章中来，再去浏览所要回答的试题，经过初步的思考，确定解决问题的阅读空间。有些试题它要求用文中原话来回答，我们就可以用文中的原话来作答，这时就可以\从文章中直接提取信息\来回答问题。
4、合理控制答题时间，先易后难。应浏览阅读理解的全文，了解阅读理解全文的概貌。看完后，应记住阅读理解文章的要点，阅读理解重要的结论以及阅读理解中的一些关键性的人名、地点、定义和数字。碰到阅读理解的难题时，千万不要钻牛角尖，耽误太多时间。
