职高类高考英语阅读训练
㈠ 关于高考英语阅读理解题的应考技巧
■策略一、紧扣主旨大意
高考英语阅读理解的主旨大意题主要是考查考生在理解全文的基础上运用概括、判断、归纳、推理等逻辑思维的方法对文章进行高度的概括或总结的能力。常见的设问方式有:
●标题类:what'sthebesttitle/headlinefor
thepassage?
●大意类:thetextismainlyabout__.the
topic/_.fromthepassage,wecanconcludethat_.
inwritingthepassage?
针对主旨大意类型的题,考生可以掌握以下解题策略:把握文章逻辑结构,快速找出主题;寻找主题句,确定文章中心思想;将首段中心句和各段第一句话连接成一个整体,得出文章主题;逆向思维法解标题类问题。
一、把握文章逻辑结构,快速找出主题
高考阅读理解文章的主要逻辑结构:
1、时间顺序。按时间先后顺序说明某一事件、某一理论的发展过程,属于这种结构的文章主题通常在首段或末段。
2、“总说-分述”结构。首段做总的说明,其他段落分别说明或具体论述首段的观点,属于这种结构的文章主题在首段。最典型的是新闻报道类文章,此类体裁的文章在近年高考阅读中逐渐增多。一般这类文章都有固定格式:城市名称(新闻社)———新闻内容。掌握一些国际知名新闻社的英文名称是必要的,路透社reuters,美联社associatedpress,法新社agencefrancepresse。梁世
3、“分述-总说”结构。前面几段分别说明,末段总结。属于这种结构的文章主题在末段。
二、寻找主题句,确定文章中心思想
不是所有的文章都有主题句,对于大部分有主题句的文章来说,主题句表达了文章的中心思想,找到了主题句,也就抓住了文章的主旨大意。主题句呈现的形式有:
1、在文首。文章开门见山,提出主题,随后摆事实、讲道理来解释、支撑和发展主题句所表达的主题思想。2、在文带渣缓中。通常前面只提出问题,随之陈述细节引出主题,而后做进一步的解释、支撑或发展。3、在文尾。在表述细节后,归纳要点,得出结论,以概括主题。
三、将首段中心句和各段第一句话连接成一个整体,得出文章主题
通常有些文章会在首段提出一个重要论点,随后在各段分别进一步从不同角度继续阐述,这样我们可以找出首段的中心句,再将其和各段第蠢模一句串联在一起,就可以得出文章的中心思想。如:(2006北京卷d篇71题)
?
a.
b.-ment
c.
d.
第一段:
infantdeathcaused,motherandchild.
第二段:oneofthesepremodernattach-ment-
intothesecondyear.…
第三段:athirdpracticewhichhadthe
samedistancingeffectwaswet-nursing.…
从第一段的中心句和各段的第一句不难看出,这篇文章的标题应该是ment.
四、逆向思维法解标题类问题
(2005全国i卷b篇62题)whatwould
bethebesttitleforthetext?
a.across-countrytripb.aspecialbor-derpassc.anunguardedborderd.anexpensivechurchvisit
如果标题是across-countrytrip,那么文章应该讲述一次出境旅行;如果标题是aspecialborderpass,那么文章应该着重讲一个特殊的边境通行证;如果标题是anunguardedborder,那么文章应该侧重讲边境如何不设防;如果标题是anexpensivechurchvisit,那么文章应该讲一次礼拜如何花费昂贵了。经过这样的逆向思维,我们不难发现文章的内容恰好与标题anexpensivechurch
visit一致,因此应该选d。
一、对于写作意图的把握
1.注意连接词的使用:,mydad
tookmetothewildliferefuge.heneeded
-iment.atfirst,.whatifonetriedtoeatme?butwehadalotofhelp,and
mydadknewalotaboutalligators,soitwasok.
first,but,so等展开的。所设题目是:
?
a.
fiercealligatorsb.
c..
某些句型表面看上去是比较级,而实际上是最高级含义。mymotherdeci-dedtotakemeonthetrip.itcouldn'tbebetter.(itcouldn'tbebetter=it'sgreat.意为“太好了”)
注意虚拟语气的使用。.(我多么希望已通过了驾照考试呀!)此句暗含的事实是:并没通过考试。
3.将自己想象为故事中的主人公,体会其心理感受
有一篇文章,写一个老太太刚刚在海边买了一座别墅,打算在那里度过余生。因为那里的气候湿润温暖,更适合她的健康。此时她站在曾经生活了25年的房子里,最后环顾这曾经装载了她的大半生的房子。所给的问题是:?正确答案是:herfeelingiscomplex.其他的选项如sheishappy/she
issad等都片面。只要我们设身处地站在老太太的位置上想一想,就不难找到正确答案。
4.把握全篇文脉,仔细揣摩事情发生的背景
我们不仅要掌握一定的语言知识,还需要平时储备一定的逻辑推理能力以及必要的西方的文化背景知识,才能完全领会文章的主旨或者其所渗透出的幽默感。请看下面这篇介绍父子关系的文章。第一句话就开门见山:myfatherandiwereveryclose.hewasalwaysproudofmysuccess.然后用一个事例说明:ifiwonaspelingcontestatschool,hewasontopoftheworld.如果知道beontopoftheworld是“高兴至极”的意思,也只是理解了语言的表层含义。接下来:wheniwasnamedpresidentofthe
fordmotorcompany,ididn'tknowwhichofuswasmoreexcited.正确理解了上文的铺垫,才会真正领会此句暗含的意味及幽默:实际上父亲比我还高兴。如果对西方人的生活方式及习惯比较了解的话,也不难接受下面的句子:-
tunity———.我们再来继续欣赏一下父亲鲜明的个性:.-torcycle.unfortunately,myfatherandhis
motorcycledidn'tgetalongtoowell.he
.asaresult,.读懂了这些,就不难理
解下文中为什么父亲不让“我”拥有一辆自行车,反而当“我”刚满16岁就让我开车了。正确理解了文章的来龙去脉及内涵,对于文后题目的处理也就会轻而易举了。
二、对于出题意图的把握
1.正确理解一个事物的两个方面
有些题目不是直接照搬原文的话,而是用一些另外的语言表达出同样的意思,因此我们必须掌握用英文解释英文的技能。如一篇介绍辍学学生的文章,文章先后两次谈到学生辍学后的感想。第一次:
theymadeamistakebygivingupand
.
第二次:.文后的题目是whichof
-age?正确答案是:.虽然
原文没有像题目这样明确说明,但其实这是一个事物的两个方面;对于辍学的后悔其实就是希望继续上学。通过正确推断这些文句的含义,即可找出正确答案。
2.以文章内容为基础进行判断
■策略三、合理推理判断
一、理解定义。判断是对已知的事实仔细评价之后做出的合理决定。推理是对事实的内涵所做的陈述或以事实为依据对未知所做的陈述。注意无论是判断还是推理都是以已知事实为依据。
二、推理题常见的提问形式。常以infer,
imply,indicate,suggest,conclude,learn,in-
tend,mean,describe,purpose等词提问。
或含有表推测的情态动词,如can,could,might,would等和其他表示可能性的动词,如probably,mostlikely等。
三、具体策略
1.通过辨认细节的技巧,找到相关的事实或证据,对这些事实或证据进行分析和评价,在此基础上再作决定。切记:推断是以文章提供的事实为依据,而不是凭空想象,更不是读者自己的意愿。
2.借助常识。在推理判断题中,我们平时积累的一些常识通常会派上用场。2006年陕西高考英语试卷中一篇关于通信发展史的阅读最为典型。a.
faster.b.slower.大家都应知道交通越来越发达,邮电业当然是faster.此篇还涉及到有关发邮件的常识,如果同学们有这个commonsense,就如鱼得水了。
3.务必要用排除法。排除法在此类题型中发挥着不可磨灭的作用。根据在文章中找到的事实依据和常识排除错误信息,再排除和文章中一词不差的信息(文章里的原句不会是推理判断出来的结果,但通过同义词或句型转换过的选项有可能是正确答案),最后再排除无关或偏离信息,正确答案就不言而喻了。
4.词句段篇,相互交融。词的理解要放在句子里,句子的理解要靠段,段的理解也离不开篇。单独说floor谁都知道是什么意思,但…,inherownhandwriting…这个语境里是surprised的意思。因此不能独立地看某个词或某句话。此外,学生对一词多义或一些习语的积累也是很有必要的,这就要靠同学们课下多下工夫了。

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.
Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous,cowboys did not earn
much money.They were paid bally.Yet cowboys liked their way of life.They lived
in a wild and open country.They lived a life of adventure and freedom.

government?But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam?
During the War of 1812,the US government hired meat packers to provide meat
to the army.One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson.Samuel was a
friendly and fair man.Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.
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.
The joke spread,and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle
Sam.Before long,people called all things that came from the government”Uncle
Sam’s”,”Uncle Sam”became a nickname for the US government.
Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers.In these
early pictures,Uncle Sam was a young man.He wore stars and stripes,but his hair
was dark and he had not a beard.The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was
President.President Lincoln had a beard.

㈢ 高考英语阅读理解的答题技巧
高考英语阅读理解的答题技巧
英语阅读理解是高考英语必考题型之一,其所占的分之也比较大,所以打击一定要重视高中英语阅读理解题,掌握其解题技巧,下面是我整理的高考英语阅读理解的答题技巧,希望对你有帮助!
高考英语阅读理解的答题技巧1
一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
抓主题句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。 主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用,主旨大意题,归纳概括题,中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。
试试看,你能找出下面一段文章的主题句吗?
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.
不难看出,文章的第一句是主题句,后面的句子都围绕这个句子展开。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、 逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。
四、 猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”,通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
a. 定义法
it will be very hard but also very brittle...that is, it will break easily. 从后面的解释中我们可以了解到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. 同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义,即“城堡”。
c. 对比法
she is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but一词表转折,因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天“第一节上了一半才来”,因此反向推理,可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。
d. 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)
perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. possibility 是 possible 的同根名词, 据此可以断定 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. 从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中,可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的,永久的”。
12017高考英语阅读理解答题技巧二
一.高考阅读的基本解题思路:
第一,扫描提干,划关键项。
第二, 通读全文,抓住中心。
1. 通读全文,抓两个重点:
①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题);
②其他各段的段首和段尾句。(其他部分略读,有重点的读)
2. 抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题:
①文章叙述的主要内容是什么?
②文章中有无提到核心概念?
③作者的大致态度是什么?
第三,仔细审题,返回原文。(仔细看题干,把每道题和原文的某处建立联系,挂起钩)
定位原则:
①通常是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则。(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等)
②自然段定位原则。出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题。
要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。
第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文)
1. 通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某处比较,重叠选项,选出答案。
2.作题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由
二.阅读理解的解题技巧
1.例证题 :
① 例证题的`标记。当题干中出现example, case, illustrate, illustration, exemplify 时。
② 返回原文,找出该例证所在的位置,既给该例子定位。
③ 搜索该例证周围的区域,90%向上,10%向下,找出该例证支持的观点。例子周围具有概括抽象性的表达通常就是它的论点。
注意:举例的目的是为了支持论点或是为了说明主题句。举例后马上问这个例子说明了什么问题?不能用例子中的话来回答这个问题。
④ 找出该论点,并与四个选项比较,得出选项中与该论点最一致的答案。
⑤ 例证题错误答案设计的干扰特征经常是:就事论事。
即用例子中的某一内容拉出来让你去选。(╳)
要求:在阅读中,遇到长的例子,立即给这个例子定位,即找出起始点,从哪开始到哪结束。
2.指代题 :
① 返回原文,找出出题的指代词。
② 向上搜索,找最近的名词、名词性短语或句子(先从最近点开始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不会离得太远)。
③ 将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词,看其意思是否通顺。
④ 将找到的词、词组或句子与四个选项进行比较,找出最佳答案。
3. 词汇题 :“搜索代入”法
① 返回原文,找出该词汇出现的地方。
② 确定该词汇的词性
③ 从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适
④ 找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案
注意:
a.如果该词汇是简单词汇,则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。
b.高考阅读不是考察字认识不认识,而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。
c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词汇出现的附近。注意不能靠单词词义直接往下推。
d.寻找时要注意同位语、特殊标点(比如分号,分号前后两句话的逻辑关系不是形式上的并列就是语义上的并列,也就是两句话的意思相同,所以可用其中一句话的意思来推测 另一句话的意思从而推出所给词汇含义)、定语从句、前后缀,特别要注意寻找时的同性原则。比如:让猜一个名词词组(动词词组)的意思,我们就向上向下搜索名词词组(动词词组)。
隐蔽型词汇题:题干与原文的某句完全重合,只有一两个词被替换掉。隐蔽型词汇题的做法跟词汇题的做法几乎一样,往上往下找。
4.句子理解题 :
① 返回原文找到原句。
② 对原句进行语法和词义的精确分析(找主干),应该重点抓原句的字面含义。若该句的字面含义不能确定,则依据上下文进行判断。注意:局部含义是由整体决定的。
③ 一般来说,选项中的正确答案与原句意思完全相同,只不过用其他英语词汇换种表达而已。
④ 句子理解题的错误选项干扰项特征:推得过远。做题时应把握住推的度。
思路: 对句子微观分析? 不行就依据上下文? 选择时不要推得过远。
5.推理题 :“最近原则”
① 标志: learn, infer, imply, inform
② 看是否可以通过题干返回原文或依据选项返回原文。一般要围绕文中的一两个重点进行推理。推理题无论通过题干能不能定位,我们都要把它固化到文章的一两点上。
③ 依据原文的意思进行三错一对的判断。先不要进行推理,若有一个选项跟原文的意思一模一样,则该选项必然是正确答案。推理题不是考察我们的想象力,它实际是考察我们原文中的某几个点如一个、两个点所涉及的问题我们读透了没有。因此,不推的比推的好;推的近的比推的远的要好。
④ 推理题的最近答案原则:不推的要比推的好,推的近的要比推的远的好,直接推出的要比间接推的好。(原文的某句话变个说法)
注意:做题时不能想得太多,推得过远。是否把原文读懂才是关键。
6.主旨题 : “串线摘帽”
即在自然段少的时候串串线,串线法解不出来时,大帽子、小帽子摘一下。
① 主旨题的标志:mainly about, mainly discuss, the best title
② 串线法:抓首段和其余各段的第一句话,把其意思连接成一个整体。要注意总结性的提示词和转折词,特别要注意中心句。(主要针对自然段少的文章;针对自然段多的文章,主旨题最好联系中心句。找一个和中心句最贴近的)
③ 小心首段陷阱。
④ 主旨题错误选项的干扰特征经常是:
⑴ 局部信息,即选项的内容小于文章的内容;
⑵ 范围过宽,即选项的内容大于文章的内容。
⑤逆向思维法、快速作文法:在两个选项看上去都十分正确无法选择时,试着从选项出发,想象一下如果自己以此选项来写文章会有那些内容,然后把它与文章的内容比较,接近的即为正确选项。
7. 作者态度题 :
① 标志:attitude
② 应精确理解四个选项的含义。
③ 不要掺杂自己的观点。
④ 可以寻找文中一些具有感情色彩的词。如:fortunately, excessively, too many.
⑤ 举例的方式。
⑥ 抓论述的主线。把第一段读透,把其他各段的段首段尾句拉出来,看整个文章的谋篇结构。
⑦ 做作者态度题时特别注意:首先看清楚是谁对谁的态度。
8. 判断题 :
①看可否通过四个选项具体化到文中一点或者根据自然段原则定位。
②每个选项都应返回原文,不能凭主观印象进行判断。
③要重点抓是“三错一对”还是“三对一错”的关系(做题是要看清题目)。
9. 细节题 :
看完题目回到原文,重叠原文,得出答案
10.重点题型中的几个问题:
① 词汇题:字面意思不是答案,要根据上下文推测其深刻含义
② 句子理解题:一般不要求推理,只看句子本身。
③ 推理题:答案很大程度上是原文的重现,不一定非要经过逻辑推理从原文中得出。
11. 正确答案的特征:
① 正确答案经常与中心思想有关。
② 正确答案的位置,最常见的三个位置是:段首段尾处、转折处、因果处。
③ 正确答案经常运用的原则是:同义替换、正话反说、反话正说。
④ 从语气角度来看,正确答案中经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的用词。如:can, may, might, possible, not necessarily, some.
⑤ 正确答案经常具有概括性、深刻性,不能只见树木不见森林。
12. 错误答案的特征:
第一大层次:
① 无中生有 (未提及的概念);
② 正反混淆 (选项的意思跟原文的意思正好相反);
③ 所答非所问 (虽然选项的说法没有问题,符合原文,但和题干搭不上边)
第二大层次:
① 过分绝对;
② 扩大范围(注意隐蔽型的扩大范围mostly);
③ 因果倒置;
④ 常识判断;
⑤ 推得过远;
⑥ 偏离中心;
⑦ 变换词性。
常识判断:如果一个选项仅仅符合常识,不一定是正确答案,还要看文章中类似的意思有没有出现;如果一个选项不符合常识,一定不是正答案。能够不由自主地按照正确的思路解题了,才表明我们正确掌握了这些技巧。
高考英语阅读理解的答题技巧2
1知己知彼:弄清命题理念
要知道做题的秘诀,首先要知道命题人的思想。高考的目的就是分个等级,把大家区别开来,所以在能够区别的地方设置题目“为难”大家。因此命题老师会挖空心思来出题。高考英语阅读中选择题答案就两种:right or wrong。题支命题的构成方式就是“干扰+陷阱”,陷阱就是下面的错误类型。掌握了操作技巧,做阅读理解既迅速又正确。做题技巧归纳起来就是:找出“right answer”,毙掉“wrong answers'。
2做题四部曲:步骤1-4
做题步骤很重要!英语非常牛的人,先后顺序影响不大,但不要相信你非常牛。可能大家有自己的做题习惯与步骤,但是这里推荐的步骤为:读阅读题题干并勾关键词——读题支并勾关键词——读文章勾出对应的句子——返回问题,选出答案。具体操作见图。步骤很重要,能够提高做题的正确率和效率。
例如:以2013英语高考全国卷A篇阅读理解为例。
第一步:读36题题干“What does the author say aboutdoctors in general?”——勾出黑体字的关键词;
第二步:读题支“A. They likeflyingby themselves. B. They are unwilling totake advice. C. They pretend to begood pilots. D. They are quicklearners of CRM——勾出这里标记的黑字体关键词,如法炮制完成36-39题;
第三步:阅读文章(文章见图片)——勾出文章中与题干、题支像匹配、类似的词语、句子,如“Doctor、don't listen、CRM”等;
第四步:返回到题中,将题支中的句子与文章中对应的句子对比,得出答案。
3错误答案的特征
1无中生有:
顾名思义,就是文章中没有写,但题支中却出现了。绝大多数情况下,这种题支就是错误的,因为文章没有提及。这种考题较常见于简单的模拟考试、出题简单的省份。但是有2种情况下是正确的:推理的+归纳的,具体解释见第三部分“正确答案的特征”。
例如:13年全国卷II中,A篇阅读理解中,A答案关键词含“like flying”,而文中根本未提到like,就连近义词enjoy/love等都没有; D答案中关键词“quick learners ”,对应的句子中就没有提及quick,就连同义词fast/rapid都没出现,同理C答案也一样。所以遇到这种无中生有的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
2超前判断:
所谓超前判断指的是文章中还没有得出结果,明确得出结论,在题支中就得出了结论/结果,弄错时态,把现在的说成将来的,把过去的说成现在的,把将来完成的说成现在完成的,把可能的说成已经的,等不一而足。当然别把它和推理出来的答案搞混了,推理归纳的见后面详解。
例如:2013高考英语上海卷C篇73题,问的是“It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _____”, D答案是“has been put into wide application”,而文中对应的句子为“so that it might someday perform…”。所以遇到超前判断的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
3喧宾夺主:
喧宾夺主也就是主次颠倒,没有弄清主次关系。通俗讲,就是在阅读理解中,对于问题中的题支,能够在文中找到相对应的部分或者是句子,但是只有一个是最主要的,其他表述都是次要的,这个主要的就是围绕问题展开叙述的。这种类型的错误常见于:归纳短文意思、给短文选择最适合的标题等类型的问题中。
例如:2013英语上海卷C篇75题,问题是:“Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?”,题支为:A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Inspiration from Engineering Science C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study。根据文章每个答案都有提及,看起来都好像是正确的。通过文章,找出原来是围绕Robotic和life来讲的,这就是最主要的主体,因此正确。而A中father、B中Inspiration、D中Breaks Through都只是辅助部分甚至没提到。所以遇到喧宾夺主的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
4答非所问:
这个相比大家都懂了,人家问西你答东。题支中的回答和题干不相符。这种问题应该是最简单的,相信不少人火眼晶晶就能够看出来。比较准确地说是就是不相关。由于高考想区别出等级,所以需要难度,这种类型的题就比较少了,最为常见于初中英语题中以及高中平时模拟练习中。
例如:比如2013高考山东卷73题B答案。问题是“For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?”,答案中为“A. To build a goodrelationshipwith the public B. To stress theunusual traditionof Sparrow C. To lean aboutcustomers; ”B、C答案关键词为unusual tradition、customers,文中并没有围绕这个来说(当然这里这个例子是不够精确)。所以遇到答非所问的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
5强加因果:
强加因果就是本来两件事情就没有因果关系,却在题支中说出两个的因果关系,这都是错误的题支。这种类型的错误是比较少见的,但是一旦出现,不容易发现,尤其是逻辑性比较强的问题。应对方法是,对于有因果叙述的问题,需要自习推敲一下,看看是否是真的有因果关系。
例如:文章中讲了全球气候变暖( global warming),文章中可能讲乱砍乱伐、汽车尾气、燃烧秸秆等等问题,在问题中,问你造成全球变暖是由什么造成的,题支中给你一个选项就是乱砍乱伐,可能你就会想:乱砍乱伐——树木减少——光合作用减少——二氧化碳消耗减少——大气中热、二氧化碳增多——所以全球气候变换,这就是典型的想多了! 所以遇到这种强加因果的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
6颠倒是非:
把肯定的说成否定,把否定的说成肯定,这种类型的错误还是比较容易看出来的。但是如果通过同义转换,就不是很好看出来了。或者是把不是很明确的说的十分肯定,就较难看出这种颠倒是非的关系。
例如:2013上海卷第74题问的是“Which of the following can be learned from the passage”,B答案为“Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.”而原文对应的句子为“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” 。就是明显的同义转换后颠倒是非。所以遇到颠倒是非的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
7以偏概全:
以偏概全指的是文章中说的是一个范围,问题中悄悄将题支的叙述范围给你改了,很久都看不出来。文章是由几部分组成的,每个部分肯定有自己的中心范围,而这些部分就组成了整篇文章,整片文章又只有一个中心,如果是用某部分的来表达整个文章的思想,就是以偏概全。
例如:2013上海卷C篇75题,问的是“Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?”;题支为“A.Fatherof Robotic Fly B.InspirationfromEngineering Science C.RoboticFly ImitatesReal Life InsectD. HarvardBreaks Throughin Insect Study”。根据黑体关键词,A的是一个部分的,B的描述的是下一个部分的, D也是,文章中说的也不是很明确,这种类型的常见于概括文章、给文章起标题概括中心思想的题型中。对于以偏概全的答案可以:直接判为错误答案!
错误的类型主要是这几种,另外还有张冠李戴,比如文章中为jack did the work ,题支中却说成了Jackson;再如he won the prize,却说成she won the prize等。
近些年英语貌似变得简单些了,不过如果题出难了的话,还有几种不容易发现的错误类型如:逻辑推理、大小关系不清楚等等,这类似数学的真包含假包含一样。比如说Jack planted some big trees near his home, the air around getting fresher after that。题支中的描述成“ what jack did prevent the global warming”这样就是属于逻辑上的混乱和错误。
4正确答案的特征:同义句转换的题支
命题的道理是为了增加题的难度,所以不能直接像小学初中一样给你原文句字,所以必须做个同义句转换。因此同义句一般都是正确的答案。这种类型的题型在高考、四级、六级考试中非常常见,如果你对自己不是很有底气,直接选择这个同义句,根据个人经验,95%情况下都是正确的!
例如:13年全国卷II中,A篇第36题B选项“They are unwilling to take advice”与文中“They don't listen because they already know it all” 的为同义改写,所以答案就是这个。因此,同义句转换的题支可以直接选择为正确答案.

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 (撞击) 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 (床垫). 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 (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) 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 (读写能力) 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(无所谓) 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 (喷水装置). 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(辐射).
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) 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 (细胞) 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(放射治疗) 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 (过分强调).
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?

B. The doll looks like her.
C. She lives near Sheftel's.

Technology is the application (应用)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 (统计) 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 (少的资源) 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

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(层). 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(爆裂声)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”

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.

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.

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。推理判断题。根据第一段”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,作者拿得克萨斯州与大量的垃圾漂浮物进行比较,所以选D项。
52.A。细节判断题。根据第二段中的”The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic procts of all kinds.”可知,这些垃圾漂流物是塑料制品。

55.D。作者意图题。本文通过介绍太平洋上漂浮的大量的塑料垃圾废物的情况,指出了它们对海洋中的生物以及人类的影响,所以D项正确。
第二篇:
60.D. 主旨大意题。本文主要就火山灰对人的健康的危害问题世卫组织和其他专家给出不同观点。A太笼统;B不能体现不同的观点;C与文章内容无关;D符合题意。
61. A. 细节理解题。第三段最后一句可知A是正确的;由第三段中During a volcanic eruption……in healthy people.可知B错误;由第三段中Other experts, however, weren't convinced…… cigarette smoke or pollution可排除C D。
62. D. 词义猜测题。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正确, 夸大的,言过其实的。
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正确。ABD观点表达绝对。
㈦ 高中英语阅读理解高分必杀绝技
高考中英语阅读理解分为4篇,即A,B,C,D 四篇。均为信息文,信息文,意思如字面,是为了传递信息的,其文章主题是围绕一个主题展开的,如2020年全国卷1 A篇讲的是Train Information, 内容涉及到坐火车的时刻表,失物招领等。信息文中的信息排列还是很清晰的的,比小说类的题材要简单很多,大部分内容字面意思懂了,题就能做对,现在我们从高考阅读出题特点,题型特点,各个题型的做题技巧,怎么提升自己的阅读理解能力来聊聊如何拿高分。这些做题技巧也是侯老师独家归纳总结,并且经过学生提分案例的验证,可以是高考英语提分的精华部分。
如上文所述,高考英语阅读理解有四篇,四篇的难度排列顺序有讲究,分别从容易到难排列。前面的A篇最简单,单词简单,句子短,甚至不需要看原文,看着题找答案就行了,所以A篇是送分题,绝对不能失分。A篇后的B, C, D篇,难度依次加大,成绩一般的孩子,读完了C篇,就觉得脑子不够用了,D篇根本读不下去,以至于做错题,属于很正常。所以我建议平时模考在70分以下的同学,好好琢磨A,B,C的答案,以提高自己的争取率,把该拿的分数拿到手,再挑战D篇。
另外从阅读题的题型划分,阅读题题型的出题特点也有迹可循。各种题型考察的就是学生在不同层面上对文本的理解力和思维能力。有的老师在讲阅读题时,只告诉学生:从原文中找答案,答案都在原文里。这样给出的做题技巧太笼统,无法解决学生的问题。正解是,根据不同的题型有不同的做题技巧,甚至技巧也是理解能力的一部分。
阅读理解中考的题型有文章主旨题,段落主旨题,词义题,细节题,推断题,指代题,句子改述题,作者态度题。北京市高考题要求比较高,会出态度题,全国卷中至今还没有涉及到作者态度题。对于这几种题型中,对理解能力要求最高的是,推断题,句子改述题,作者态度题。这三种题型最难拿分,因为学生不仅需要读懂字面意思,还需要深刻理解字面背后的意思,了解作者的意图,通过某些用词和句子,来推断句外之意。某些同学的思维不太对,即使在母语中也很少注意言外之意,凡事都不肯思考,常常听别人说什么就是什么,这是自己本身思维思辨力不强,所以这种思辨能力的培养需要长期纠正。而且我也发现思维的转换,并非一朝一夕的之功,需要不断提醒学生训练自己的思考方式,有时候要过度训练,强化学生思维。并且实践来看,我带过的学生2个月后初见成效,但强化且内化成自己的一部分,需要半年甚至一年的巩固。很多学生我带过一段时间后,分数提了,但如果中途不上,分数又掉下去了,也就是因为这个原因。
文章主旨题,考察的是学生对文章主题的整体把握,这是很重要的一项总结能力,读完长长的一篇文章,即使有些细节不清楚,起码应该知道文章是在讲什么。那么应该怎么解题呢?要看每段话的第一句,然后总结归纳重复出现的名词和动词,最后跟题中的选项核对,看哪一项最符合文章的主题。为什么一定要额外注意名词和动词呢?因为在语言中,名词和动词是支撑和体现意思的单位,其他的一些词类,如冠词,介词,助动词,只是完成了语法功能,并不能支撑意思的表达。你见过有谁说话,光说,a, the, in 的吗?
词义题,考察的是该单词在文章中是什么意思,有些词会有一词多意的情况,这个时候要考虑文章的语境中该单词是什么意思。词义,首先要观察这个单词的特点,如果是复合词 compound word,要看组成这个单词的每个部分,各个组成部分拼在一起,就是该单词的意思,如 deskmate,hi-tech,很容易猜出来。其次要看这个单词的词性,即根据前后的单词,推断出这个词是名词,代词,动词,形容词,还是副词。比如,孩子一看 an UFO,知道UFO是一个名词,因为前面有冠词an。然后推断出词性后,依然要根据上下文的关系来推断这个词的意思。如句子中During a performance, the elephants plays a variety of instruments, including drums and xylophones. 题目的要求是学生猜出a variety of 是什么意思。首先这个短语位于名词的前面,表示是修饰instruments “乐器”的,后面又给出了两个例子:鼓和打击乐,可见是不止是一类乐器,是好几种,所以 a variety of 指的是各种各样的。
细节题,所有的细节题,都是送分题,即使是阅读理解最难的D篇,也可以拿到分。因为细节题找对位置就可以拿分。我观察了一下细节题做不对的学生,绝大多数是思维方式有问题,不仔细看,细节看不到,把握不准,即使他的理解是正确的,也常常做不对题。这其实也是个很麻烦的事情,就好像明明你妈妈帮你准备好了便当,你却忘了带,依然没饭吃。这种学生也需要训练思维。
指代题,送分题,绝对的送分题。指代题的问法经常是: What does “it”refer to in line 24? 既然文章中用到了代词“it”,表明前面肯定提到了某个名词,然后后面可以用“it”,所以这里要注意查找前面出现的名词。但高考题常常会挖个坑,前面有几个名词,学生可能只觉得只有最近的那个名词才是正解。所以正确的做法是要把名词带入句子中,在句子中核实验证。
段落主旨题,跟文章主旨题差不多,考察学生对段落主题的把握,即在读完一个段落后,可以明白这段话是在讲什么,即使某些细节可能有些模糊,对主题是十分清楚的。具体的解法是,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。因为信息文常见的段落结构是,开篇点题,后面用细节和例子来支撑主旨句。所以段落第一句以及靠近第一句的位置,经常可以见段落主旨句。
推断题,是比较难的题型,要求学生根据文章某一段,或者某几句,推断出言外之意。常见的问法:What can you infer from Paragraph 2? 之所以难,是因为学生不仅要理解字面意思,还可以体味到深层次的意思。这个要求其实对学生的思维有了更高的要求。如果有的学生平常没有较高深层次的思考能力,这个题并不容易做对。如果一个学生平常老师让干什么就干什么,从来不问为什么,那么就是思维力不够,要加强对思维的培养和锻炼。
由此可见,高考阅读理解要拿高分,不仅仅是背诵单词的问题,还要结合技巧和思维培养。而且每个学生的思维方式不同,看待世界的角度和方式不同,要培养思维,真的需要因人而异。根据我的经验,单词好背,思维难转换;思维转换不过来,即使是读了同一篇文章,看到的东西也是不一样的。学生常常说的一句话是:我以为,我觉得,我认为; 我反问一句: 你以为的就是作者以为的么?学习外语,无非是学习另一种思维,而学会理解别人,向来都是人生的一大难题,成年人也未必能够做好,更何况是高中生?
最后预祝今年参加高考的学生得偿所愿,英语超常发挥。
㈧ 高考英语阅读理解解题技巧
我任教英语多年了,关于英语阅读理解的解题技巧,要抓住两个个重点。
1、词汇方面:词汇是英语学习的基础。
很多学生反映,在阅读过程中觉得有些单词非常面熟,可却不知道是什么意思,所以整篇文章理解起来记忆不知所云,造成阅读障碍。如果考试大纲要求记忆的词汇没有掌握的话,在通篇理解文章时就会困难重重。高效阅读的方法需要训练,是一种眼脑相互协调的高效率学习方法,一般情况下,培养阅读者直接把视觉器官感知的文字符号转换成意义,消除头脑中潜在的发声现象,形成眼脑直映,结合记忆训练,用以提高学习效率。
由于大家平时对快速阅读接触不多,可以通过直接训练,训练大脑和眼睛的协调能力,去年,有学者推荐《精英特全脑速读记忆软件》作为假期学生学习计划中,以为软件练习30个小时就能使阅读速度提高5-10倍左右,学习每天练习1-2个小时,两个星期就能取得很好的效果,普通人300字每分钟左右的阅读速度会达到3000字每分钟的阅读速度,记忆力也相应的快速提升。这个建议得到了中央教科所心理研究室原主任、多年从事脑心理研究的专家朱法良的高度认可,目前我们学习很多班级开展的假期速读速记训练课程,用的就是《精英特全脑速读记忆软件》
2、为了节省时间在做阅读的时候应该切忌:
(1)阅读时不要逐字逐句的翻译,这样会导致阅读速度的降低,要快速阅读整篇文章,把握文章大意。
(2)不要一句话反复阅读,即阅读时碰到一时不理解的句子就一遍一遍地沉浸在阅读那个句子当中,反复琢磨。其实完全没有必要,因为要选对答案并不意味着对原文的每个句子都要读懂,抓住一些重点句子就够了,正确的做法是,以理解整个段落和整篇文章为主,在涵盖出题点的句子上用心捉摸。上文中提到的《精英特速读记忆》,超级速读训练同时就顺带训练了记忆,而超级记忆部分的思维导图对全面阅读文章后,抓出文章脉络和重点有良好的作用。所以建议大家可以尝试着学习一下。
3、如果是正在考试或者正在忙着备考的学生,我建议学习一下《精英特》,能够提高记忆力和学习效率,《精英特速读记忆》也是我们协会认可的。希望你早日进步!

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的`四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
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 (沟渠) 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 (擦伤), 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 (启发) 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 (授权) 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.
