1. Introduction 

    As we all know, the traditional English reading teaching only pays attention to language itself, while ignoring the non-text mode, which will inevitably develop into the  cramming method of teaching. What’s worse, students also tend to become passive learners, let alone to go up to cultivate interest in reading. However, due to the rapid development of information technology, most information is conveyed in printed documents, images and other multiplex modes. That is to say, discourse has not only been embodied in text modes, but also in the picture, voice, movie clips, layout, color, chart and other modes at the same time. Therefore, it becomes necessary to study the characteristics of multimodality and cultivate students’ multiliteracies especially at senior high schools. The multimodal discourse can use a variety of modes and symbol systems to enrich reading teaching content, teaching forms and teaching means to attract the attention of students, and to enable them to actively participate in class teaching and experience the fun of reading directly, so as to stimulate student’s interest in the reading. What’s more, nowadays, network teaching plays a more important role in education, which means that educators should make full use of the computer technology as well as Internet resources to build a multi-channel, all-dimensional and interactive knowledge dissemination system and information procession system. With the help of multimedia and computer technology, the teaching of English reading takes a great advantage at senior high schools since pictures or movie clips are always better eye-catchers than written words in textbooks. Furthermore, teachers can upload a large number of English teaching materials and teaching assistant materials to the Internet which students can at any time download to improve learning skills and broad their horizon.    高中英语阅读中多模态识读能力的培养:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_66862.html
