第一篇：
Reading without relevant background knowledge is like going to a new country without knowing the local
language: nothing you see printed in that language is anything you can understand. Background knowledge is very
important in reading and it includes the knowledge of vocabulary use and the basic concepts in a given field. For
example, it is difficult for a patient to read his doctor’s prescription on his recent physical checkup 31 the
technical terms used in the field of medicine. Also, it is probably very difficult for a lawyer to read and understand
an article on 32 a nuclear power plant is built. It is 33 not because lawyers do not have good command of
their native language; it is because they do not have the specific concept that it is necessary to know the structure of
a nuclear plant. 34 , they do not have the background knowledge of the construct of a nuclear power plant, not
to mention the technical terms used in that field.
People increase their world knowledge, and therefore their background knowledge, through 35 reading. If
you wish to read to broaden your world knowledge, you need to broaden the scope of your reading. Reading
difficulty comes in many different forms and lack of background knowledge is a very important one.
