適用對象:高一尖子生，高二中等生、高三學生；想參加大學四、六級等級考試的同學。
效果說明: 依據本人近十年的實驗數據，嚴格按照要求熟讀100篇英語無障礙閱讀成績可提高約5分，200篇約10分，300篇約15分，400篇約20-25分，500篇約25-30分。從教30多年的老九老師悄悄地告訴您：高中/大學英語無障礙閱讀是迅速擴大英語詞彙量提升英語閱讀水平十分十分十分有效的手段，我個人近幾年年年教畢業班，屢試屢驗！
使用方法(以家長/教師為例): ①先要求孩子做好閱讀筆記（讓孩子藉助「全文漢語翻譯」及「疑似生詞加注」摘錄整理在學習過程中遇到的難句和生詞）。換言之，孩子除了記在筆記上的難句和生詞，閱讀材料中的其它句子和單詞都應該能完全理解。②檢查孩子對記在筆記上的難句的理解和生詞的記憶（沒有條件的只抽查生詞，尤其是綠色斜體部分的單詞，注意只要求孩子根據英語寫漢語）。
