As a common teaching strategy in an English class, questioning is an influential teaching art. Since ancient times, Chinese and foreign educators have paid attention to and made full use of it. No matter what kind of teachers they are, they usually make lots of questions. In a regular class, it takes much time for teachers and students to communicate with each other by means of questioning. So teaching strategies will affect the result of a class very much.Reading skill is important in NMET, but it is the weakness of students. So it is teachers'task to improve students'reading ability. At the same time, a good reading class is necessary. In the course of reading, teachers can know whether the students have understood the reading passage through questioning. The application of questioning strategies will make effects on students'reading skills and reading habits. As a consequence, teachers should make effective questions. However, in the real class, some teachers'questions are not satisfied, for example: some teachers didn't make a good preparation, have no clear aims, which must make effects on the result of teaching.How about the teachers'questioning in the reading class of high middle school in our area now?
