Thirdly,how to improve the English reading ability of junior high school students?From the relevant research view,we can see that critical thinking ability can be cultivated and developed through conscious training,and junior middle school is the key period to cultivate this ability.Through questionnaires and interviews,and the pre-test and post-test,the reasons behind the phenomenon are analyzed.This paper analyzes the design of the question to improve the English reading ability of junior high school students.The results showed that the English reading ability of junior high school students still need to be further improved,and the key factor is teachers’ reading guidance in English reading teaching.The question design of critical reading perspective helps students to get rid of the limitations of the superficial learning of the text,actively explore the connotation of the text,expand their thinking and connect with reality.They can judge and speculate from a critical perspective while reading,then they could subtly improve their critical thinking and reading ability.
