这几句话描述了我们熟知的一种自然现象。所有内容实际上是对soil erosion的解释。由解释语义我们便知道了soil erosion就是我们所说的“土壤侵蚀”。
7) 对有领悟性困难的段落的推测
由于某些词的意思不明，而造成个别段落的意思也模糊不清，这是阅读中常遇到的。解决这一问题较好的方法是：读完全文之后对不明白的段落反复阅读。一般地说，多次阅读的过程是逐步加深理解的过程。对于一些难懂的句子，如能结合上下文反复推敲，同时联系到作者的写作意图及全文的中心思想，仍可猜出它的意思。
例如下面一段：
I enjoyed the football games, but it was such a wet windy day that I caught cold, so I’m feeling a little under the weather now. I think I have to go to bed early.在句中有一个短语a little under the weather可能造成整段意思不清楚，但根据上下文中的caught cold和have to go to bed early加以推测，得出结论是a little under the weather可能是not well之意。
（4）培养整体理解的习惯
要做到整体理解必须了解各段段意，明确各段之间的联系；同时还要弄清文章的写作背景和作者的写作意图。只有这样才能抓住文章的中心。例如，有这样一篇文章：一个名叫Tommy的男孩收到其叔叔Bill从美国寄给他的生日礼物——an electric train set. Tommy的爸爸在看到这份礼物时和小Tommy一样高兴。于是他们一起上楼去摆弄这件小玩具。
下面是文章的最后一段：
Tommy remained with his father for about an hour, but finally got tired of the train set and went into the living room to see the rest of his presents. At about lunch time, Tommy’s mother came into the living room. “Where’s your father?”she asked“I’ve been looking for him everywhere.” “He’s upstairs, Mum.” Tommy answered. “He put my train set together this morning and he’s been playing with it ever since!”
下面是一道考查对该文章中心思想理解的题：
The best headline for the passage would be _________.
A Uncle Bill’s Present B Tommy’s Birthday
C Boys will be boys D Father likes Trains
选项A是该故事中主要的“物”，B是主要的“事”，D是主要“人物”之一Father的情况，它们只是故事的组成要素，并没有表达出文章的中心思想，而只有选项C才说明了作者的写作意图，他旨在告诉我们：Fathers were once boys and they may still like playing with toys.
