職高類高考英語閱讀訓練
㈠ 關於高考英語閱讀理解題的應考技巧
■策略一、緊扣主旨大意
高考英語閱讀理解的主旨大意題主要是考查考生在理解全文的基礎上運用概括、判斷、歸納、推理等邏輯思維的方法對文章進行高度的概括或總結的能力。常見的設問方式有:
●標題類:what'sthebesttitle/headlinefor
thepassage?
●大意類:thetextismainlyabout__.the
topic/_.fromthepassage,wecanconcludethat_.
inwritingthepassage?
針對主旨大意類型的題,考生可以掌握以下解題策略:把握文章邏輯結構,快速找出主題;尋找主題句,確定文章中心思想;將首段中心句和各段第一句話連接成一個整體,得出文章主題;逆向思維法解標題類問題。
一、把握文章邏輯結構,快速找出主題
高考閱讀理解文章的主要邏輯結構:
1、時間順序。按時間先後順序說明某一事件、某一理論的發展過程,屬於這種結構的文章主題通常在首段或末段。
2、“總說-分述”結構。首段做總的說明,其他段落分別說明或具體論述首段的觀點,屬於這種結構的文章主題在首段。最典型的是新聞報道類文章,此類體裁的文章在近年高考閱讀中逐漸增多。一般這類文章都有固定格式:城市名稱(新聞社)———新聞內容。掌握一些國際知名新聞社的英文名稱是必要的,路透社reuters,美聯社associatedpress,法新社agencefrancepresse。梁世
3、“分述-總說”結構。前面幾段分別說明,末段總結。屬於這種結構的文章主題在末段。
二、尋找主題句,確定文章中心思想
不是所有的文章都有主題句,對於大部分有主題句的文章來說,主題句表達了文章的中心思想,找到了主題句,也就抓住了文章的主旨大意。主題句呈現的形式有:
1、在文首。文章開門見山,提出主題,隨後擺事實、講道理來解釋、支撐和發展主題句所表達的主題思想。2、在文帶渣緩中。通常前面只提出問題,隨之陳述細節引出主題,而後做進一步的解釋、支撐或發展。3、在文尾。在表述細節後,歸納要點,得出結論,以概括主題。
三、將首段中心句和各段第一句話連接成一個整體,得出文章主題
通常有些文章會在首段提出一個重要論點,隨後在各段分別進一步從不同角度繼續闡述,這樣我們可以找出首段的中心句,再將其和各段第蠢模一句串聯在一起,就可以得出文章的中心思想。如:(2006北京卷d篇71題)
?
a.
b.-ment
c.
d.
第一段:
infantdeathcaused,motherandchild.
第二段:oneofthesepremodernattach-ment-
intothesecondyear.…
第三段:athirdpracticewhichhadthe
samedistancingeffectwaswet-nursing.…
從第一段的中心句和各段的第一句不難看出,這篇文章的標題應該是ment.
四、逆向思維法解標題類問題
(2005全國i卷b篇62題)whatwould
bethebesttitleforthetext?
a.across-countrytripb.aspecialbor-derpassc.anunguardedborderd.anexpensivechurchvisit
如果標題是across-countrytrip,那麼文章應該講述一次出境旅行;如果標題是aspecialborderpass,那麼文章應該著重講一個特殊的邊境通行證;如果標題是anunguardedborder,那麼文章應該側重講邊境如何不設防;如果標題是anexpensivechurchvisit,那麼文章應該講一次禮拜如何花費昂貴了。經過這樣的逆向思維,我們不難發現文章的內容恰好與標題anexpensivechurch
visit一致,因此應該選d。
一、對於寫作意圖的把握
1.注意連接詞的使用:,mydad
tookmetothewildliferefuge.heneeded
-iment.atfirst,.whatifonetriedtoeatme?butwehadalotofhelp,and
mydadknewalotaboutalligators,soitwasok.
first,but,so等展開的。所設題目是:
?
a.
fiercealligatorsb.
c..
某些句型表面看上去是比較級,而實際上是最高級含義。mymotherdeci-dedtotakemeonthetrip.itcouldn'tbebetter.(itcouldn'tbebetter=it'sgreat.意為“太好了”)
注意虛擬語氣的使用。.(我多麼希望已通過了駕照考試呀!)此句暗含的事實是:並沒通過考試。
3.將自己想像為故事中的主人公,體會其心理感受
有一篇文章,寫一個老太太剛剛在海邊買了一座別墅,打算在那裡度過餘生。因為那裡的氣候濕潤溫暖,更適合她的健康。此時她站在曾經生活了25年的房子里,最後環顧這曾經裝載了她的大半生的房子。所給的問題是:?正確答案是:herfeelingiscomplex.其他的選項如sheishappy/she
issad等都片面。只要我們設身處地站在老太太的位置上想一想,就不難找到正確答案。
4.把握全篇文脈,仔細揣摩事情發生的背景
我們不僅要掌握一定的語言知識,還需要平時儲備一定的邏輯推理能力以及必要的西方的文化背景知識,才能完全領會文章的主旨或者其所滲透出的幽默感。請看下面這篇介紹父子關系的文章。第一句話就開門見山:myfatherandiwereveryclose.hewasalwaysproudofmysuccess.然後用一個事例說明:ifiwonaspelingcontestatschool,hewasontopoftheworld.如果知道beontopoftheworld是“高興至極”的意思,也只是理解了語言的表層含義。接下來:wheniwasnamedpresidentofthe
fordmotorcompany,ididn'tknowwhichofuswasmoreexcited.正確理解了上文的鋪墊,才會真正領會此句暗含的意味及幽默:實際上父親比我還高興。如果對西方人的生活方式及習慣比較了解的話,也不難接受下面的句子:-
tunity———.我們再來繼續欣賞一下父親鮮明的個性:.-torcycle.unfortunately,myfatherandhis
motorcycledidn'tgetalongtoowell.he
.asaresult,.讀懂了這些,就不難理
解下文中為什麼父親不讓“我”擁有一輛自行車,反而當“我”剛滿16歲就讓我開車了。正確理解了文章的來龍去脈及內涵,對於文後題目的處理也就會輕而易舉了。
二、對於出題意圖的把握
1.正確理解一個事物的兩個方面
有些題目不是直接照搬原文的話,而是用一些另外的語言表達出同樣的意思,因此我們必須掌握用英文解釋英文的技能。如一篇介紹輟學學生的文章,文章先後兩次談到學生輟學後的感想。第一次:
theymadeamistakebygivingupand
.
第二次:.文後的題目是whichof
-age?正確答案是:.雖然
原文沒有像題目這樣明確說明,但其實這是一個事物的兩個方面;對於輟學的後悔其實就是希望繼續上學。通過正確推斷這些文句的含義,即可找出正確答案。
2.以文章內容為基礎進行判斷
■策略三、合理推理判斷
一、理解定義。判斷是對已知的事實仔細評價之後做出的合理決定。推理是對事實的內涵所做的陳述或以事實為依據對未知所做的陳述。注意無論是判斷還是推理都是以已知事實為依據。
二、推理題常見的提問形式。常以infer,
imply,indicate,suggest,conclude,learn,in-
tend,mean,describe,purpose等詞提問。
或含有表推測的情態動詞,如can,could,might,would等和其他表示可能性的動詞,如probably,mostlikely等。
三、具體策略
1.通過辨認細節的技巧,找到相關的事實或證據,對這些事實或證據進行分析和評價,在此基礎上再作決定。切記:推斷是以文章提供的事實為依據,而不是憑空想像,更不是讀者自己的意願。
2.藉助常識。在推理判斷題中,我們平時積累的一些常識通常會派上用場。2006年陝西高考英語試卷中一篇關於通信發展史的閱讀最為典型。a.
faster.b.slower.大家都應知道交通越來越發達,郵電業當然是faster.此篇還涉及到有關發郵件的常識,如果同學們有這個commonsense,就如魚得水了。
3.務必要用排除法。排除法在此類題型中發揮著不可磨滅的作用。根據在文章中找到的事實依據和常識排除錯誤信息,再排除和文章中一詞不差的信息(文章里的原句不會是推理判斷出來的結果,但通過同義詞或句型轉換過的選項有可能是正確答案),最後再排除無關或偏離信息,正確答案就不言而喻了。
4.詞句段篇,相互交融。詞的理解要放在句子里,句子的理解要靠段,段的理解也離不開篇。單獨說floor誰都知道是什麼意思,但…,inherownhandwriting…這個語境里是surprised的意思。因此不能獨立地看某個詞或某句話。此外,學生對一詞多義或一些習語的積累也是很有必要的,這就要靠同學們課下多下工夫了。

解析:1.c文中多處提到關於自豪的字眼acobblerwhogetshisgreatest

The cowboy is the hero of many movies.He is,even today,a symbol of courage
and adventure.But what was the life of the cowboy really like?
The cowboy』s job is clear from the word」cowboy」.Cowboys were men who took
care of cows and other cattle.The cattle were in the West and in Texas.People in
the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle.Trains could take the
cattle east.But first the cattle had to get to the trains.Part of the cowboy's
job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.
The trips were called cattle drives.A cattle drive usually took several
months.Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day.Because they rode so much,each
cowboy brought along about eight horses.A cowboy changed horses several times
each day.
The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely.Before starting
on a drive,the cowboys branded the cattle.They burned a make on the cattle to
show who they belonged to.But these marks didn』t stop rustlers,or cattle
thieves.Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers.Rustlers made the
dangerous trip even more dangerous.

Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United
States.Some government inspectors came to look over Sam』s company.They asked a
worker what the US on the boxes stood for.As a joke,the worker answered that
these letters stood for the name of his boss,Uncle Sam.

㈢ 高考英語閱讀理解的答題技巧
高考英語閱讀理解的答題技巧
英語閱讀理解是高考英語必考題型之一,其所佔的分之也比較大,所以打擊一定要重視高中英語閱讀理解題,掌握其解題技巧,下面是我整理的高考英語閱讀理解的答題技巧,希望對你有幫助!
高考英語閱讀理解的答題技巧1
一、速讀全文,了解大意知主題。
閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力。考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節、人物、觀點,並且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質。
抓主題句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭和結尾。 主題句往往對全文起提示、啟迪、概括、歸納之作用,主旨大意題,歸納概括題,中心思想題往往直接可從主題句中找到答案。
試試看,你能找出下面一段文章的主題句嗎?
the panda is a popular animal. stories about the panda in the washington zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops.
不難看出,文章的第一句是主題句,後面的句子都圍繞這個句子展開。
二、看題干,帶著問題讀文章。
首先要掌握問題的類型,客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調等,這類題必須經過對作者的態度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次,了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息,然後有針對性地對文章進行掃讀,對有關信息進行快速定位。此法加強了閱讀的針對性,提高了做題的准確率。
三、 邏輯推理,做好深層理解題。
在實際閱讀中,有時作者並未把意圖說出來,閱讀者要根據字面意思,通過語篇邏輯關系,研究細節的暗示,推敲作者的態度,理解文章的寓義。要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全。推理題在提問中常用的詞有:infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。
四、 猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎。
猜詞是應用英語的重要能力。它不但需要准確無誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認識較多的課外詞彙。我們要學會「順藤摸瓜」,通過構詞,語法,定義,同位,對比,因果,常識,上下文等線索確定詞義。
a. 定義法
it will be very hard but also very brittle...that is, it will break easily. 從後面的解釋中我們可以了解到brittle 是「脆」的意思。
b. 同位法
they traveled a long way, at last got to a castle, a large building in old times. 同位語部分a large building in old times 給出了 castle 的確切詞義,即「城堡」。
c. 對比法
she is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but一詞表轉折,因此but 前後的意思正相反。後半句的意思是她今天「第一節上了一半才來」,因此反向推理,可得出她平時一向「准時」的結論。
d. 構詞法(前綴、後綴、復合、派生等)
perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. possibility 是 possible 的同根名詞, 據此可以斷定 possibility 意思是「可能性」。
e. 因果法
the lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. sometimes the weakness was permanent. so the player could never play the sport again. 從後面的結果「永遠不能再運動」中,可以推測 permanent 的意思為「永遠的,永久的」。
12017高考英語閱讀理解答題技巧二
一.高考閱讀的基本解題思路:
第一,掃描提干,劃關鍵項。
第二, 通讀全文,抓住中心。
1. 通讀全文,抓兩個重點:
①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出題);
②其他各段的段首和段尾句。(其他部分略讀,有重點的讀)
2. 抓住中心,用一分半時間思考3個問題:
①文章敘述的主要內容是什麼?
②文章中有無提到核心概念?
③作者的大致態度是什麼?
第三,仔細審題,返回原文。(仔細看題干,把每道題和原文的某處建立聯系,掛起鉤)
定位原則:
①通常是由題干出發,使用尋找關鍵詞定位原則。(關鍵詞:大寫字母、地名、時間、數字等)
②自然段定位原則。出題的順序與行文的順序是基本一致的,一般每段對應一題。
要樹立定位意識,每一題、每一選項都要回到原文中某一處定位。
第四,重疊選項,得出答案。(重疊原文=對照原文)
1. 通過題干返回原文:判斷四個選項,抓住選項中的關鍵詞,把選項定位到原文的某處比較,重疊選項,選出答案。
2.作題練習要求:要有選一個答案的理由和其餘三個不選的理由
二.閱讀理解的解題技巧
1.例證題 :
① 例證題的`標記。當題干中出現example, case, illustrate, illustration, exemplify 時。
② 返回原文,找出該例證所在的位置,既給該例子定位。
③ 搜索該例證周圍的區域,90%向上,10%向下,找出該例證支持的觀點。例子周圍具有概括抽象性的表達通常就是它的論點。
注意:舉例的目的是為了支持論點或是為了說明主題句。舉例後馬上問這個例子說明了什麼問題?不能用例子中的話來回答這個問題。
④ 找出該論點,並與四個選項比較,得出選項中與該論點最一致的答案。
⑤ 例證題錯誤答案設計的干擾特徵經常是:就事論事。
即用例子中的某一內容拉出來讓你去選。(╳)
要求:在閱讀中,遇到長的例子,立即給這個例子定位,即找出起始點,從哪開始到哪結束。
2.指代題 :
① 返回原文,找出出題的指代詞。
② 向上搜索,找最近的名詞、名詞性短語或句子(先從最近點開始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不會離得太遠)。
③ 將找到的詞、片語或句子的意思代入替換該指代詞,看其意思是否通順。
④ 將找到的詞、片語或句子與四個選項進行比較,找出最佳答案。
3. 詞彙題 :「搜索代入」法
① 返回原文,找出該詞彙出現的地方。
② 確定該詞彙的詞性
③ 從上下文(詞彙的前後幾句)中找到與所給詞彙具有相同詞性的詞(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所給詞彙在文章中的位置(將之替換)看語義是否合適
④ 找出選項中與代替詞意思相同或相近的選相,即答案
注意:
a.如果該詞彙是簡單詞匯,則其字面意思必然不是正確答案。
b.高考閱讀不是考察字認識不認識,而是考察是否能根據上下文作出正確的判斷。
c.詞彙題的正確答案經常蘊藏在原文該詞彙出現的附近。注意不能靠單詞詞義直接往下推。
d.尋找時要注意同位語、特殊標點(比如分號,分號前後兩句話的邏輯關系不是形式上的並列就是語義上的並列,也就是兩句話的意思相同,所以可用其中一句話的意思來推測 另一句話的意思從而推出所給詞彙含義)、定語從句、前後綴,特別要注意尋找時的同性原則。比如:讓猜一個名詞片語(動詞片語)的意思,我們就向上向下搜索名詞片語(動詞片語)。
隱蔽型詞彙題:題干與原文的某句完全重合,只有一兩個詞被替換掉。隱蔽型詞彙題的做法跟詞彙題的做法幾乎一樣,往上往下找。
4.句子理解題 :
① 返回原文找到原句。
② 對原句進行語法和詞義的精確分析(找主幹),應該重點抓原句的字面含義。若該句的字面含義不能確定,則依據上下文進行判斷。注意:局部含義是由整體決定的。
③ 一般來說,選項中的正確答案與原句意思完全相同,只不過用其他英語詞彙換種表達而已。
④ 句子理解題的錯誤選項干擾項特徵:推得過遠。做題時應把握住推的度。
思路: 對句子微觀分析? 不行就依據上下文? 選擇時不要推得過遠。
5.推理題 :「最近原則」
① 標志: learn, infer, imply, inform
② 看是否可以通過題干返回原文或依據選項返回原文。一般要圍繞文中的一兩個重點進行推理。推理題無論通過題干能不能定位,我們都要把它固化到文章的一兩點上。
③ 依據原文的意思進行三錯一對的判斷。先不要進行推理,若有一個選項跟原文的意思一模一樣,則該選項必然是正確答案。推理題不是考察我們的想像力,它實際是考察我們原文中的某幾個點如一個、兩個點所涉及的問題我們讀透了沒有。因此,不推的比推的好;推的近的比推的遠的要好。
④ 推理題的最近答案原則:不推的要比推的好,推的近的要比推的遠的好,直接推出的要比間接推的好。(原文的某句話變個說法)
注意:做題時不能想得太多,推得過遠。是否把原文讀懂才是關鍵。
6.主旨題 : 「串線摘帽」
即在自然段少的時候串串線,串線法解不出來時,大帽子、小帽子摘一下。
① 主旨題的標志:mainly about, mainly discuss, the best title
② 串線法:抓首段和其餘各段的第一句話,把其意思連接成一個整體。要注意總結性的提示詞和轉折詞,特別要注意中心句。(主要針對自然段少的文章;針對自然段多的文章,主旨題最好聯系中心句。找一個和中心句最貼近的)
③ 小心首段陷阱。
④ 主旨題錯誤選項的干擾特徵經常是:
⑴ 局部信息,即選項的內容小於文章的內容;
⑵ 范圍過寬,即選項的內容大於文章的內容。
⑤逆向思維法、快速作文法:在兩個選項看上去都十分正確無法選擇時,試著從選項出發,想像一下如果自己以此選項來寫文章會有那些內容,然後把它與文章的內容比較,接近的即為正確選項。
7. 作者態度題 :
① 標志:attitude
② 應精確理解四個選項的含義。
③ 不要摻雜自己的觀點。
④ 可以尋找文中一些具有感情色彩的詞。如:fortunately, excessively, too many.
⑤ 舉例的方式。
⑥ 抓論述的主線。把第一段讀透,把其他各段的段首段尾句拉出來,看整個文章的謀篇結構。
⑦ 做作者態度題時特別注意:首先看清楚是誰對誰的態度。
8. 判斷題 :
①看可否通過四個選項具體化到文中一點或者根據自然段原則定位。
②每個選項都應返回原文,不能憑主觀印象進行判斷。
③要重點抓是「三錯一對」還是「三對一錯」的關系(做題是要看清題目)。
9. 細節題 :
看完題目回到原文,重疊原文,得出答案
10.重點題型中的幾個問題:
① 詞彙題:字面意思不是答案,要根據上下文推測其深刻含義
② 句子理解題:一般不要求推理,只看句子本身。
③ 推理題:答案很大程度上是原文的重現,不一定非要經過邏輯推理從原文中得出。
11. 正確答案的特徵:
① 正確答案經常與中心思想有關。
② 正確答案的位置,最常見的三個位置是:段首段尾處、轉折處、因果處。
③ 正確答案經常運用的原則是:同義替換、正話反說、反話正說。
④ 從語氣角度來看,正確答案中經常含有不肯定的語氣詞和委婉表達的用詞。如:can, may, might, possible, not necessarily, some.
⑤ 正確答案經常具有概括性、深刻性,不能只見樹木不見森林。
12. 錯誤答案的特徵:
第一大層次:
① 無中生有 (未提及的概念);
② 正反混淆 (選項的意思跟原文的意思正好相反);
③ 所答非所問 (雖然選項的說法沒有問題,符合原文,但和題干搭不上邊)
第二大層次:
① 過分絕對;
② 擴大范圍(注意隱蔽型的擴大范圍mostly);
③ 因果倒置;
④ 常識判斷;
⑤ 推得過遠;
⑥ 偏離中心;
⑦ 變換詞性。
常識判斷:如果一個選項僅僅符合常識,不一定是正確答案,還要看文章中類似的意思有沒有出現;如果一個選項不符合常識,一定不是正答案。能夠不由自主地按照正確的思路解題了,才表明我們正確掌握了這些技巧。

1知己知彼:弄清命題理念
要知道做題的秘訣,首先要知道命題人的思想。高考的目的就是分個等級,把大家區別開來,所以在能夠區別的地方設置題目「為難」大家。因此命題老師會挖空心思來出題。高考英語閱讀中選擇題答案就兩種:right or wrong。題支命題的構成方式就是「干擾+陷阱」,陷阱就是下面的錯誤類型。掌握了操作技巧,做閱讀理解既迅速又正確。做題技巧歸納起來就是:找出「right answer」,斃掉「wrong answers'。
2做題四部曲:步驟1-4
做題步驟很重要!英語非常牛的人,先後順序影響不大,但不要相信你非常牛。可能大家有自己的做題習慣與步驟,但是這里推薦的步驟為:讀閱讀題題干並勾關鍵詞——讀題支並勾關鍵詞——讀文章勾出對應的句子——返回問題,選出答案。具體操作見圖。步驟很重要,能夠提高做題的正確率和效率。
例如:以2013英語高考全國卷A篇閱讀理解為例。
第一步:讀36題題干「What does the author say aboutdoctors in general?」——勾出黑體字的關鍵詞;
第二步:讀題支「A. They likeflyingby themselves. B. They are unwilling totake advice. C. They pretend to begood pilots. D. They are quicklearners of CRM——勾出這里標記的黑字體關鍵詞,如法炮製完成36-39題;
第三步:閱讀文章(文章見圖片)——勾出文章中與題干、題支像匹配、類似的詞語、句子,如「Doctor、don't listen、CRM」等;
第四步:返回到題中,將題支中的句子與文章中對應的句子對比,得出答案。
3錯誤答案的特徵
1無中生有:
顧名思義,就是文章中沒有寫,但題支中卻出現了。絕大多數情況下,這種題支就是錯誤的,因為文章沒有提及。這種考題較常見於簡單的模擬考試、出題簡單的省份。但是有2種情況下是正確的:推理的+歸納的,具體解釋見第三部分「正確答案的特徵」。
例如:13年全國卷II中,A篇閱讀理解中,A答案關鍵詞含「like flying」,而文中根本未提到like,就連近義詞enjoy/love等都沒有; D答案中關鍵詞「quick learners 」,對應的句子中就沒有提及quick,就連同義詞fast/rapid都沒出現,同理C答案也一樣。所以遇到這種無中生有的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
2超前判斷:
所謂超前判斷指的是文章中還沒有得出結果,明確得出結論,在題支中就得出了結論/結果,弄錯時態,把現在的說成將來的,把過去的說成現在的,把將來完成的說成現在完成的,把可能的說成已經的,等不一而足。當然別把它和推理出來的答案搞混了,推理歸納的見後面詳解。
例如:2013高考英語上海卷C篇73題,問的是「It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _____」, D答案是「has been put into wide application」,而文中對應的句子為「so that it might someday perform…」。所以遇到超前判斷的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
3喧賓奪主:
喧賓奪主也就是主次顛倒,沒有弄清主次關系。通俗講,就是在閱讀理解中,對於問題中的題支,能夠在文中找到相對應的部分或者是句子,但是只有一個是最主要的,其他表述都是次要的,這個主要的就是圍繞問題展開敘述的。這種類型的錯誤常見於:歸納短文意思、給短文選擇最適合的標題等類型的問題中。
例如:2013英語上海卷C篇75題,問題是:「Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?」,題支為:A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Inspiration from Engineering Science C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study。根據文章每個答案都有提及,看起來都好像是正確的。通過文章,找出原來是圍繞Robotic和life來講的,這就是最主要的主體,因此正確。而A中father、B中Inspiration、D中Breaks Through都只是輔助部分甚至沒提到。所以遇到喧賓奪主的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
4答非所問:
這個相比大家都懂了,人家問西你答東。題支中的回答和題干不相符。這種問題應該是最簡單的,相信不少人火眼晶晶就能夠看出來。比較准確地說是就是不相關。由於高考想區別出等級,所以需要難度,這種類型的題就比較少了,最為常見於初中英語題中以及高中平時模擬練習中。
例如:比如2013高考山東卷73題B答案。問題是「For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?」,答案中為「A. To build a goodrelationshipwith the public B. To stress theunusual traditionof Sparrow C. To lean aboutcustomers; 」B、C答案關鍵詞為unusual tradition、customers,文中並沒有圍繞這個來說(當然這里這個例子是不夠精確)。所以遇到答非所問的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
5強加因果:
強加因果就是本來兩件事情就沒有因果關系,卻在題支中說出兩個的因果關系,這都是錯誤的題支。這種類型的錯誤是比較少見的,但是一旦出現,不容易發現,尤其是邏輯性比較強的問題。應對方法是,對於有因果敘述的問題,需要自習推敲一下,看看是否是真的有因果關系。
例如:文章中講了全球氣候變暖( global warming),文章中可能講亂砍亂伐、汽車尾氣、燃燒秸稈等等問題,在問題中,問你造成全球變暖是由什麼造成的,題支中給你一個選項就是亂砍亂伐,可能你就會想:亂砍亂伐——樹木減少——光合作用減少——二氧化碳消耗減少——大氣中熱、二氧化碳增多——所以全球氣候變換,這就是典型的想多了! 所以遇到這種強加因果的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
6顛倒是非:
把肯定的說成否定,把否定的說成肯定,這種類型的錯誤還是比較容易看出來的。但是如果通過同義轉換,就不是很好看出來了。或者是把不是很明確的說的十分肯定,就較難看出這種顛倒是非的關系。
例如:2013上海卷第74題問的是「Which of the following can be learned from the passage」,B答案為「Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.」而原文對應的句子為「You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead」 。就是明顯的同義轉換後顛倒是非。所以遇到顛倒是非的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
7以偏概全:
以偏概全指的是文章中說的是一個范圍,問題中悄悄將題支的敘述范圍給你改了,很久都看不出來。文章是由幾部分組成的,每個部分肯定有自己的中心范圍,而這些部分就組成了整篇文章,整片文章又只有一個中心,如果是用某部分的來表達整個文章的思想,就是以偏概全。
例如:2013上海卷C篇75題,問的是「Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?」;題支為「A.Fatherof Robotic Fly B.InspirationfromEngineering Science C.RoboticFly ImitatesReal Life InsectD. HarvardBreaks Throughin Insect Study」。根據黑體關鍵詞,A的是一個部分的,B的描述的是下一個部分的, D也是,文章中說的也不是很明確,這種類型的常見於概括文章、給文章起標題概括中心思想的題型中。對於以偏概全的答案可以:直接判為錯誤答案!
錯誤的類型主要是這幾種,另外還有張冠李戴,比如文章中為jack did the work ,題支中卻說成了Jackson;再如he won the prize,卻說成she won the prize等。
近些年英語貌似變得簡單些了,不過如果題出難了的話,還有幾種不容易發現的錯誤類型如:邏輯推理、大小關系不清楚等等,這類似數學的真包含假包含一樣。比如說Jack planted some big trees near his home, the air around getting fresher after that。題支中的描述成「 what jack did prevent the global warming」這樣就是屬於邏輯上的混亂和錯誤。
4正確答案的特徵:同義句轉換的題支
命題的道理是為了增加題的難度,所以不能直接像小學初中一樣給你原文句字,所以必須做個同義句轉換。因此同義句一般都是正確的答案。這種類型的題型在高考、四級、六級考試中非常常見,如果你對自己不是很有底氣,直接選擇這個同義句,根據個人經驗,95%情況下都是正確的!
例如:13年全國卷II中,A篇第36題B選項「They are unwilling to take advice」與文中「They don't listen because they already know it all」 的為同義改寫,所以答案就是這個。因此,同義句轉換的題支可以直接選擇為正確答案.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞擊) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床墊). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (懸崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落傘) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool
1. Stuntmen are those who ______.
A. often dress up as actors
B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

D. often fight each other for their lives
2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.
A. playing their dirty tricks
B. selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast moving trains
3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.
A.he needs little protection
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is endangered
D. his safety is generally all right
4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?
A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.
5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

Activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while ring the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only ring the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.
One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most alt reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a graal increase in literacy (讀寫能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some rection in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.
Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in ecation. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media (媒介) on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.
1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?
A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.
B. Because there were few places for private reading.
C. Because few people could read for themselves.
D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.
2. The development of silent reading ring the nineteenth century showed .
A. a change in the position of literate people
B. a change in the nature of reading
C. an increase in the number of books
D. an increase in the average age of readers
3. Ecationalists are still arguing about _________.
A. the importance of silent reading
B. the amount of information provided by books and newspapers
C. the effects of reading on health
D. the value of different types of reading material
4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?
A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.
B. To change people's way to read.
C. To show how reading methods have improved.
D. To encourage the growth of reading.

In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.
But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(無所謂) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.
American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.
Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public ecation and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.
In the United States, most ecation dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.
The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (噴水裝置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.
1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.
A. they took no interest in new technology
B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires
C. they showed indifference to fighting fires
D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment
2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children
B. American children have not received enough ecation of fire safety lessons
C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States
D. America's large population leads to more fires
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.
B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.
C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.
D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.

Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(輻射).
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探測) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (細胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治療) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.
A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection
C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation
2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills few cells
B. if it damages few cells
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproce themselves
3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the above results
4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (過分強調).
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.

Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll(玩具娃娃)in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the sty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, e to the shadows and the film of st through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.
1. What made an impression on the author?
A. The doll's unusual face.
B. The collection of toys.
C. A stranger he met at the store.
D. The beauty and size of the doll.
2. Why does the author mention his niece?
A. She likes dolls.
B. The doll looks like her.
C. She lives near Sheftel's.

Technology is the application (應用)of knowledge to proction. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more proction and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.
Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (統計) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的資源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs.
Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of proction (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.
1. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The definition of technology
B. Modern technology
C. The application of technology
D. The development of technology

The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these「fireworks」of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a 「river of tire.」Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?
The earth is made up of many layers(層). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂聲)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.
Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.
1.The underlined word「erupts」means .
A. moves down B. breaks away
C. builds up D. suddenly throws out lava
2.Which words in the passage have the same meaning as 「melted rock」?
A.「Volcano」and「explode」. B.「Crust」and「hard rock」

Morning
I was e to take my driving test at 11:30 am.It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 am,my heart sank.My driving instructor. Stan,said something,
trying to drive away my fears,but I was not impressed
We set off for the test centre with an hour to go I wanted a run round the test circuit (圈),but we got stuck in a traffic jam,and could only drive no faster than walking.

第一篇:
Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.
All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic procts of all kinds.
The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.
In recent years,there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste,resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full,lessening their desire to eat or drink.
The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste,and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.
Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber ckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became the
latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch』s effect on ocean environment.
51.How did the writer introce the topic of the passage?
A. By giving an example. B. By listing the facts.
C. By telling a story. D. By giving a comparison.

A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic procts.
B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.
C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.
D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.
53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?
A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.
B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.
C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.
D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.
54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?

第二篇:
Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.
WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.
Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say.
"Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.
Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."
60. The text is mainly about .
A. the effect of volcanic ash
B. the health risk of volcanic ash
C. the disadvantages of volcanic ash
D. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash
61. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?
A. The volcanic ash』s effects on Europeans were little.
B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.
C. Other experts thought WTO』S warnings were useful.
D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.
62. The underlined word 「hysterical」 in Paragraph4 most probably means .
A. amazing B. practical C. valuable D. overstated
63. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The volcanic ash wouldn』t be harmful to people.
B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.
C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.
D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.
第一篇:
51.D。推理判斷題。根據第一段」Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the state of Texas.Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers.So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.」可知,作者拿得克薩斯州與大量的垃圾漂浮物進行比較,所以選D項。
52.A。細節判斷題。根據第二段中的」The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic procts of all kinds.」可知,這些垃圾漂流物是塑料製品。
53.B。細節理解題。根據第五段中的」There is an increased threat of infection of
disease from polluted waste,and from eating fish that swallowed waste.」可知受污染的塑料製品會通過食物鏈來影響人類。
54.C。推理判斷題。根據本文內容可知,這篇 文章 最有可能出現在報紙上」環境與社會」這個欄目里。
55.D。作者意圖題。本文通過介紹太平洋上漂浮的大量的塑料垃圾廢物的情況,指出了它們對海洋中的生物以及人類的影響,所以D項正確。
第二篇:
60.D. 主旨大意題。本文主要就火山灰對人的健康的危害問題世衛組織和其他專家給出不同觀點。A太籠統;B不能體現不同的觀點;C與文章內容無關;D符合題意。
61. A. 細節理解題。第三段最後一句可知A是正確的;由第三段中During a volcanic eruption……in healthy people.可知B錯誤;由第三段中Other experts, however, weren't convinced…… cigarette smoke or pollution可排除C D。
62. D. 詞義猜測題。由上文中volcanic ash is not all that harmful和下文中only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk可知D正確, 誇大的,言過其實的。
63.C. 由第三段 But once it falls from a greater distance….. effects are often minimal和第四段中 only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk以及第五段中 the further the particles travel, the more diluted and less dangerous they will be可知C正確。ABD觀點表達絕對。
㈦ 高中英語閱讀理解高分必殺絕技
高考中英語閱讀理解分為4篇,即A,B,C,D 四篇。均為信息文,信息文,意思如字面,是為了傳遞信息的,其文章主題是圍繞一個主題展開的,如2020年全國卷1 A篇講的是Train Information, 內容涉及到坐火車的時刻表,失物招領等。信息文中的信息排列還是很清晰的的,比小說類的題材要簡單很多,大部分內容字面意思懂了,題就能做對,現在我們從高考閱讀出題特點,題型特點,各個題型的做題技巧,怎麼提升自己的閱讀理解能力來聊聊如何拿高分。這些做題技巧也是侯老師獨家歸納總結,並且經過學生提分案例的驗證,可以是高考英語提分的精華部分。
如上文所述,高考英語閱讀理解有四篇,四篇的難度排列順序有講究,分別從容易到難排列。前面的A篇最簡單,單詞簡單,句子短,甚至不需要看原文,看著題找答案就行了,所以A篇是送分題,絕對不能失分。A篇後的B, C, D篇,難度依次加大,成績一般的孩子,讀完了C篇,就覺得腦子不夠用了,D篇根本讀不下去,以至於做錯題,屬於很正常。所以我建議平時模考在70分以下的同學,好好琢磨A,B,C的答案,以提高自己的爭取率,把該拿的分數拿到手,再挑戰D篇。
另外從閱讀題的題型劃分,閱讀題題型的出題特點也有跡可循。各種題型考察的就是學生在不同層面上對文本的理解力和思維能力。有的老師在講閱讀題時,只告訴學生:從原文中找答案,答案都在原文里。這樣給出的做題技巧太籠統,無法解決學生的問題。正解是,根據不同的題型有不同的做題技巧,甚至技巧也是理解能力的一部分。
閱讀理解中考的題型有文章主旨題,段落主旨題,詞義題,細節題,推斷題,指代題,句子改述題,作者態度題。北京市高考題要求比較高,會出態度題,全國卷中至今還沒有涉及到作者態度題。對於這幾種題型中,對理解能力要求最高的是,推斷題,句子改述題,作者態度題。這三種題型最難拿分,因為學生不僅需要讀懂字面意思,還需要深刻理解字面背後的意思,了解作者的意圖,通過某些用詞和句子,來推斷句外之意。某些同學的思維不太對,即使在母語中也很少注意言外之意,凡事都不肯思考,常常聽別人說什麼就是什麼,這是自己本身思維思辨力不強,所以這種思辨能力的培養需要長期糾正。而且我也發現思維的轉換,並非一朝一夕的之功,需要不斷提醒學生訓練自己的思考方式,有時候要過度訓練,強化學生思維。並且實踐來看,我帶過的學生2個月後初見成效,但強化且內化成自己的一部分,需要半年甚至一年的鞏固。很多學生我帶過一段時間後,分數提了,但如果中途不上,分數又掉下去了,也就是因為這個原因。
文章主旨題,考察的是學生對文章主題的整體把握,這是很重要的一項總結能力,讀完長長的一篇文章,即使有些細節不清楚,起碼應該知道文章是在講什麼。那麼應該怎麼解題呢?要看每段話的第一句,然後總結歸納重復出現的名詞和動詞,最後跟題中的選項核對,看哪一項最符合文章的主題。為什麼一定要額外注意名詞和動詞呢?因為在語言中,名詞和動詞是支撐和體現意思的單位,其他的一些詞類,如冠詞,介詞,助動詞,只是完成了語法功能,並不能支撐意思的表達。你見過有誰說話,光說,a, the, in 的嗎?
詞義題,考察的是該單詞在文章中是什麼意思,有些詞會有一詞多意的情況,這個時候要考慮文章的語境中該單詞是什麼意思。詞義,首先要觀察這個單詞的特點,如果是復合詞 compound word,要看組成這個單詞的每個部分,各個組成部分拼在一起,就是該單詞的意思,如 deskmate,hi-tech,很容易猜出來。其次要看這個單詞的詞性,即根據前後的單詞,推斷出這個詞是名詞,代詞,動詞,形容詞,還是副詞。比如,孩子一看 an UFO,知道UFO是一個名詞,因為前面有冠詞an。然後推斷出詞性後,依然要根據上下文的關系來推斷這個詞的意思。如句子中During a performance, the elephants plays a variety of instruments, including drums and xylophones. 題目的要求是學生猜出a variety of 是什麼意思。首先這個短語位於名詞的前面,表示是修飾instruments 「樂器」的,後面又給出了兩個例子:鼓和打擊樂,可見是不止是一類樂器,是好幾種,所以 a variety of 指的是各種各樣的。
細節題,所有的細節題,都是送分題,即使是閱讀理解最難的D篇,也可以拿到分。因為細節題找對位置就可以拿分。我觀察了一下細節題做不對的學生,絕大多數是思維方式有問題,不仔細看,細節看不到,把握不準,即使他的理解是正確的,也常常做不對題。這其實也是個很麻煩的事情,就好像明明你媽媽幫你准備好了便當,你卻忘了帶,依然沒飯吃。這種學生也需要訓練思維。
指代題,送分題,絕對的送分題。指代題的問法經常是: What does 「it」refer to in line 24? 既然文章中用到了代詞「it」,表明前面肯定提到了某個名詞,然後後面可以用「it」,所以這里要注意查找前面出現的名詞。但高考題常常會挖個坑,前面有幾個名詞,學生可能只覺得只有最近的那個名詞才是正解。所以正確的做法是要把名詞帶入句子中,在句子中核實驗證。
段落主旨題,跟文章主旨題差不多,考察學生對段落主題的把握,即在讀完一個段落後,可以明白這段話是在講什麼,即使某些細節可能有些模糊,對主題是十分清楚的。具體的解法是,看段落的第一句,以及靠近第一句的位置,有很少的可能性文章的主旨句在末尾。因為信息文常見的段落結構是,開篇點題,後面用細節和例子來支撐主旨句。所以段落第一句以及靠近第一句的位置,經常可以見段落主旨句。
推斷題,是比較難的題型,要求學生根據文章某一段,或者某幾句,推斷出言外之意。常見的問法:What can you infer from Paragraph 2? 之所以難,是因為學生不僅要理解字面意思,還可以體味到深層次的意思。這個要求其實對學生的思維有了更高的要求。如果有的學生平常沒有較高深層次的思考能力,這個題並不容易做對。如果一個學生平常老師讓干什麼就干什麼,從來不問為什麼,那麼就是思維力不夠,要加強對思維的培養和鍛煉。
由此可見,高考閱讀理解要拿高分,不僅僅是背誦單詞的問題,還要結合技巧和思維培養。而且每個學生的思維方式不同,看待世界的角度和方式不同,要培養思維,真的需要因人而異。根據我的經驗,單詞好背,思維難轉換;思維轉換不過來,即使是讀了同一篇文章,看到的東西也是不一樣的。學生常常說的一句話是:我以為,我覺得,我認為; 我反問一句: 你以為的就是作者以為的么?學習外語,無非是學習另一種思維,而學會理解別人,向來都是人生的一大難題,成年人也未必能夠做好,更何況是高中生?
最後預祝今年參加高考的學生得償所願,英語超常發揮。
㈧ 高考英語閱讀理解解題技巧
我任教英語多年了,關於英語閱讀理解的解題技巧,要抓住兩個個重點。
1、詞彙方面:詞彙是英語學習的基礎。
很多學生反映,在閱讀過程中覺得有些單詞非常面熟,可卻不知道是什麼意思,所以整篇文章理解起來記憶不知所雲,造成閱讀障礙。如果考試大綱要求記憶的詞彙沒有掌握的話,在通篇理解文章時就會困難重重。高效閱讀的方法需要訓練,是一種眼腦相互協調的高效率學習方法,一般情況下,培養閱讀者直接把視覺器官感知的文字元號轉換成意義,消除頭腦中潛在的發聲現象,形成眼腦直映,結合記憶訓練,用以提高學習效率。
由於大家平時對快速閱讀接觸不多,可以通過直接訓練,訓練大腦和眼睛的協調能力,去年,有學者推薦《精英特全腦速讀記憶軟體》作為假期學生學習計劃中,以為軟體練習30個小時就能使閱讀速度提高5-10倍左右,學習每天練習1-2個小時,兩個星期就能取得很好的效果,普通人300字每分鍾左右的閱讀速度會達到3000字每分鍾的閱讀速度,記憶力也相應的快速提升。這個建議得到了中央教科所心理研究室原主任、多年從事腦心理研究的專家朱法良的高度認可,目前我們學習很多班級開展的假期速讀速記訓練課程,用的就是《精英特全腦速讀記憶軟體》
2、為了節省時間在做閱讀的時候應該切忌:
(1)閱讀時不要逐字逐句的翻譯,這樣會導致閱讀速度的降低,要快速閱讀整篇文章,把握文章大意。
(2)不要一句話反復閱讀,即閱讀時碰到一時不理解的句子就一遍一遍地沉浸在閱讀那個句子當中,反復琢磨。其實完全沒有必要,因為要選對答案並不意味著對原文的每個句子都要讀懂,抓住一些重點句子就夠了,正確的做法是,以理解整個段落和整篇文章為主,在涵蓋出題點的句子上用心捉摸。上文中提到的《精英特速讀記憶》,超級速讀訓練同時就順帶訓練了記憶,而超級記憶部分的思維導圖對全面閱讀文章後,抓出文章脈絡和重點有良好的作用。所以建議大家可以嘗試著學習一下。
3、如果是正在考試或者正在忙著備考的學生,我建議學習一下《精英特》,能夠提高記憶力和學習效率,《精英特速讀記憶》也是我們協會認可的。希望你早日進步!

第二部分:閱讀理解(共兩節,滿分35分)
第一節(共10小題;每小題2.5分,滿分25分)
閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的`四個選項A、B、C和D中,選出最佳選項,並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route --- through the boot(行李箱).
Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came."
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up."
His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦傷), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
21. What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet Salesman
B. Car Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape Route
C. Driver Escapes through Car Boot
D. The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident
22. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that _______.
A. luckily the door was torn away in the end
B. at last the wrench went broken
C. the lock came open after all his efforts
D. the chance was lost at the last minute
23. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the ditch was along a quiet country road
B. the accident happened on a clear warm day
C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended
B
It’s easy to think of the selfless reasons to listen. People want you to listen to them. By listening, you can help someone with a problem, or help them come up with new ideas. But listening also has selfish benefits that make it worth the investment.
The biggest selfish benefit is that you learn more with your mouth closed. You’ll learn more about other people, and often, about yourself, if you stop talking. Those ideas are useful if you want to improve yourself.
Listening also helps you think. When you’re truly listening, not just waiting for your turn to speak, you can chew over your ideas more. You can mull on points of the conversation longer. In the end, you’ll appear a lot wiser if you explain a fully-digested point of view, than if you just speak out the first response that comes to mind. Building the listening habit also makes better friends than trying to be an impressive conversationalist. People like the guy who listens more than the guy with the best jokes. Be interested, rather than interesting.
If the person you’re talking with doesn’t feel too chatty, t (啟發) them with a comment. Throw something at them which will make it easy for them to talk. A better strategy to listen is to master the short anecdote. This is a 2-3 sentence comment on something that the other person has said. If they are telling a long explanation of their work as an accountant, you could comment on someone you know that does accounting or something you know about accounting.
24. The following are talked about EXCEPT ______.
A. the ways of being a good listener
B. the benefits of building the listening habit
C. the ways of being a good speaker
D. the strategies to inspire others to speak
25. According to the passage, which kind of person is most probably popular with people?
A. The one who is good at telling jokes.
B. The one who has no speaking ability.
C. The one who is good at public speaking.
D. The one who is good at listening to others.
26. The underlined phrase “mull on” in the third paragraph means ______.
A. think over B. agree with C. disagree with D. put forward
C
New York’s long awaited bike share program, which arranged the distribution of 10,000 bicycles along some of the city’s busiest street, will be sponsored by Citi financial group, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Monday.
Citi Bike will be the largest public bike share system in the US, with bikes placed in 600 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The program will be operated by Alta bicycle share, which runs similar projects in Washington D.C. and Boston.
“The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around the town,” Bloomberg said in a restaurant. “The new Citi Bikes will be an affordable transportation network that will help New Yorkers get where they’re going faster. When the walk seems a little far, New Yorkers can choose to skip the hike, and take a bike.”
The program was announced in September 2011, and the department of transport has spent the last eight months planning locations for the stations. Full details on the locations have not been released yet, but they will include Times Square, Penn Station and close to Central Park.
Annual membership of the program will cost $95, which entitles (授權) users to free journeys up to 45 minutes. For those unwilling to commit to a year’s cycling, seven-day subscriptions are available for $25 or 24-hour access for $9.95, with the first 30 minutes of any journey free. The official website for the program – citibikenyc.com – says the pricing strategy is likely to ensure that riders keep their trips short. Although short journeys are free, anyone wanting to take a bike for the day will face very high charges. People who do not sign up to an annual membership – tourists, for example, would pay $49 for a three-hour ride, plus the $9.95 24-hour access fee, making a total of $59.
The department of transport said the bikes and stations, which will begin to be fixed from “late July”, will be the same as in London, Montreal and Minneapolis; however, in one sense Bloomberg will be hoping the New York program differs from that of London. While the London program has ended up losing money since it launched in 2010, the mayor said New York City would “split system profits with the operator”, creating a potential new income program.
27. According to the passage, the main purpose of setting up New York’s bike share system is to ________.
A. make profits from the bike users
B. discourage people from going hiking
C. rece people’s expenses on transportation
D. help people travel around the city more easily
28. According to the passage, which of the following locations is NOT available for the Citi Bike service?
A. Central Park B. Time Square
C. Brooklyn Botanic Garden D. Penn Station
29. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A. It is wise of people to use the bikes for short trips.
B. Anyone can use the bike free of charge for 45 minutes.
C. Most people are unwilling to pay for the annual membership.
D. Tourists are charged more for the use of bikes than local people.
30. In what sense does Bloomberg hope the New York program differs from that of London?
A. Better accepted. B. Better operated.
C. More profitable. D. More widespread.

Life can be so busy these days. It’s time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your life. Here are some tips that will help you.
Write everything down and don’t rely on your memory. 31 If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when you’ve hit your head and forgotten your own name.
32 Try this experiment: before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you don’t use any more. Or, if you’re a really terrible pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you can’t find any more items to throw.
Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on them? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you haven’t read, worn, or used them, then you're probably not going to use them at all. 33
Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetables. 34 Distribute tasks evenly, for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning windows done monthly.
Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can’t completely organize your life in one go. 35 Just decide to organize now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit of it.

Blondin was a very famous acrobat(雜技師) in the 19th century. He used to walk on a tight--rope across the Niagara Falls(瀑布). On September 8th, 1860, a crowd of about 300,000 people gathered at Niagara to watch Blondin carry a man across! Three men had offered to go with him, but they falled to appear, so Blondin asked his manager, Mr. Colcord, to climb on his back, Colcord agreed to go this so as not to disappoint the crowd, but he was terrified.
