高考英语阅读理解冲满分技巧告别明明读懂了却做错
一、阅读理解能力测试的主要要求 1.阅读材料,理解材料的主旨大意,以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节。 2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。 3.既理解文章的字面意思,也理解深层含义,包括作者的态度、意图等。 4.既理解某句、某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。 5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应具有的常识去理解判断。 二、阅读理解的常见题型 根据以上五项要求,我们可将阅读理解多项选择题归纳为以下几种题型:主题主旨大意,细节理解题,综合推理题,概括归纳题,观点归纳题,人物评价题,词义句义理解题, 指代关系题,内容排序题等。一起看一看几个比较常见的类型 1.主旨大意题 阅读理解首先要做到的就是掌握所读材料的主旨和大意,它是全文的概括与总结。能否抓住这个中心,取决于读者的总结能力。每篇短文都有其主题思想,而作者表现主题思想的手法各不相同。这就需要我们挖掘相同点,寻找解题的方法。 常见题型: (1).主题型: What’s the main idea of this passage ? What does this passage mainly discuss? What’s the topic of this passage ? (2).标题型: What’s the best title? The best title for this text is (to tell ) ————. (3).目的型: The main purpose of this text is ————. The author’s purpose of writing this text is to ————. What’s the main purpose of the passage? 解题指导: 1.抓住主题句。它们一般位于文章的开头或结尾。同时,也可以贯穿各段中心句进行总结。 2.抓住文章逻辑线索,理清发展脉络。作者往往会采取举例、比较、分类、归纳等不同方法来组织文章。 3.把握文章的体裁,分清文体,确定思维方向。 4.体会作者的写作意图和所要表达的思想感情,辨清褒贬态度。 2.词义理解题 词义理解是阅读理解能力的重要指标。无论一个人的词汇量有多大,都会在阅读中碰到生词。对词义的理解往往会影响到对全文的准确把握。阅读过程中,为保证适当的阅读速度,一般不必频繁的停下查字典。对于不妨碍全文理解和出现频率较低的生词,跳过即可。词义理解包括:生词词义和熟词新义。 解题指导: (1)利用语境、常识和语法关系推断词义 ①抓住所需推断词汇前后的“mean”或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分。 ②抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心。特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系。三通过例证、比喻、对照、插入语等语法结构推断词义。 (2)利用词根、前后缀与合成词推断词义。 3.句意理解题 句意理解题是常见的阅读题型。它不仅考查对句子表层意思的理解能力。有时还需要读者结合上下文和平时的知识积累、生活常识和人生阅历来判断或推断句子的深层含义。 常见题型: (1)开门见山型:问题中直接要求读者对文中某一句进行理解。 The underlined sentence may tell us that ————. What does the underlined sentence mean? (2)隐含理解型:题目中未直接点出考查句,需要我们根据题干和选项信息找到并理解该句。简单理解:通过理解句中关键词,明确句内关系以获得正确答案。综合理解:需要结合语境、分析上下文关系,获得正确答案。 解题指导: 根据题干,缩小并锁定相关句段。挖掘选项异同点寻找提示。利用各类词义理解技巧逐一突破关键词。抓住表示因果、转折、递进、并列等关系的连词,准确把握句内各分句以及该句所在段落各句间的逻辑关系。 4.概括归纳题 在词义与句义理解的基础上,结合上下文总结归纳某一段或几段的大意,对于把握文章主旨,分析全文结构都是至关重要的。此类题型考查了读者段落或文章某一版块的理解概括能力。 常见题型: (1)单段型:要求归纳某一段大意。 What can we learn from the last paragraph ? According to the third paragraph ,the Britons think that ————. In paragraph 2, the writer uses the example of the ancient Greek athletes to show that ————. (2)多段型: 要求归纳多段大意或多段细节总结某一非全文主旨的观点。 解题指导: (1)通过审题,缩小范围,锁定相关段落。 (2)利用词义及字意理解技巧,透彻把握段落关键词的含义。 (3)抓住文章中连词(如表转折、因果、递进、承接、让步等关系的词语)、 序数词(如First …Second …)等提示性词句,辨清段落之间的逻辑关系。[来源:1] 5.观点态度题 观点态度题从某种意义上来说要求考生具有较高层次的阅读技能,包括在复杂的语境条件下,把握作者的思路;在较高深的措辞中,探索作者的隐藏思想及真正的写作意图。常见观点态度题用以考查文章的写作意图和作者主观态度的把握;分析作者对某些细节描述的意图。 常见题型: What’s the writer’s /author’s attitude towards to wards …? The writer /author believes(implies, suggests) that ————. The writer /author seems to agree(think ) that ————.| The writer / author tries to tell us ————. The writer’s / author’s tone would be best described as ————. 解题指导: (1)抓住文章和选题中反映态度、语气的关键词,特别是其中的形容词和副词,分清褒贬。 (2)利用概括归纳题与主旨大意题的解题技巧,准确把握文章中心思想与段落结构。 (3)务必忠实原文,切忌将自己的观点强加于作者。 6.综合推理判断题 综合推理判断题是通过文章提供的多处已知信息得出未知结论,或由文章中某一细节或某一描述方式推导出答案的题型。要求学生综合考虑上下文,通过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思。 常见题型: (1)直接型:直接提问从文章所提供的信息,我们可以推测出什么,可以了解到什么。这结论往往是文章中没有直接说出来的,但通过全文,我们可以得出相应的结论。 From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ————. We can infer ( conclude ) from the passage that ————. Where can you read this passage ? (2)间接型:题目中未要求,但只有综合上下文多处细节才能解决问题。 On the whole, this story is about ————. What can we learn about Brampton ? 解题指导: (1)抓住关键词句,利用词义和句意理解技巧来弄清其内在含义。 (2)利用表示因果、转折、递进、并列等关系的连词,准确把握句与句之间的关系。联系各项信息,综合推断结论。 (3)辨清总—分、总—分—总、倒证等文章结构关系。 (4)特别注意一般信息与最终结论之间的区别,避免以偏概全。 (5)排除文中已出现、无需再度推测的事实,以及与文意明显不符的选项。 三、阅读理解的基本解题思路: 阅读理解词汇量为3500词左右,一般高中毕业生的阅读速度约为70~80词/分钟,算下来一篇文章大约要花费8分钟左右的时间,再加上高考的阅读理解中常有2%~3%的生词。加之一些出题的干扰项,考生在如此短的时间之内做题需要高度集中的注意力。 对于大部分考生来说,在这么短的时间之内完全读懂文章、题目,并做对题目的难度相当大。 为了获得更高的卷面得分,我们需要一些备考技巧。 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 四、学霸经验说 正确选项的十大特征 1. 正确答案通常与文章中心思想,主旨大意,作者对文中论述事物所持的观点态度有关。 注意:这是解题基调,如果作者在文中对整个事物是持积极正面的评价,那么选项中出现消极反面的,与事实相反的肯定不是解。 2. 正确答案所在位置: ① 首段段尾句; ② 转折处; ③ 因果关系处; ④ 条件关系处。 3. 正确答案设置的特点往往利用同义词的替换,或者正话反说,反话正说。 4. 正确答案从语义上去理解经常含有不肯定的语气词和委婉表达的词:can may might,possible,notnecessarily,some尤其是推理题的答案常这样设置,以显示推理题所论述含义的相对性。 5. 正确答案具有概括性(考察考生的理解归纳能力),深刻性,因为其考查的对象是阅读文章的重点和要点。 6. 难的最可能是答案。这与命题动机有些相似,难的比容易的更能考察考生对语言的理解能力,具体体现在下面几个方面: ① 否定的比肯定的难,否定的是答案(包括否定,双重和多重否定)。 ② 抽象的比具体的难,抽象深刻的是答案,具体肤浅的不是。 ③ 动态变化的比静态的难,动态变化的是答案。 ④ 未知难于已知,未知的是答案。 7. 正面积极、符合逻辑的是答案,内容负面消极、不合逻辑的不是答案。(中考作为国内较高层次的考试,相信没人会冒天下之大不韪,引导考生走向歧途,因此,积极的、与客观真理相符合的是答案)[来源:学.科.网] 8. 常规的不是答案,观点新且合理的是答案。(具体情况具体分析) 9. 含义与文章内容方向一致的,描述客观的是答案。 10. 选项含义丰富有弹性的是答案,绝对的无端的不是答案。具体体现在: ① 特殊说明的是答案。 ② 不肯定的是答案,部分的是答案。 ③ 有条件的是答案,相对的是答案。 注意:四个选项中有两项意思相反时,其中必有一个是答案。 错误选项的十大特征 1. 无中生有 2. 常识判断:符合常识的不一定是答案,不符合常识的一定不是答案 3. 正反混淆 4. 答非所问(答案不错但不符合要求) 5. 过分绝对(always、often、absolutely、completely,no+名词) 6. 扩大范围 7. 因果倒置 8. 盲目推证 9. 偏离中心 10. 偷换概念 前六种相对容易判断,后四种要利用文章的逻辑关系才可判断出来。 具体技巧[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K] 1.原句重复出现,200%错。正确的都是有改动的,即同义替换。 2.文章是按顺序出题的。你要觉得不是,就是你做错了。 3.选项中意思完全相反的2个选项,其中之一是对的。(要有这个意识) 4.就一般而言,some people,表作者不认同的观点,few people,表作者的观点。 5.用文章里举例的句子来作为选项,直接排除。200%错。(要有能辨别这个选项是不是文章中例子的能力)。 6.某某人说的话,或者是带引号的,一定要高度重视。尤其是在段落的后半部分。很有可能就是某个问题的同意替换。即题眼。 7.有的时候,一句话可以设2个问题。不过这种情况很少出现了,非常少。 8.文章基本以5段为主(也有6段、7段的),要把握每段之间的关系。一般来说,一段一个题,只是一般来说喔。 9.一篇文章总会有5、6+个长难句,且总会在这里设问题。所以,长难句必须要拿下! 10.每段的第一句很重要。尤其总分结构的段。有的时候第一句话就是题眼。考研英语,总分结构或者总分总的段落很多。 11.若文章首段以why为开头的,这里若设题的话,选项里有because的,往往就是正确选项。不过这种类型的题,很少见了。 12.有时候每段的第一句话,仅仅是一个表述。而在第2或3句以后,会出现对比或者转折。一般来说,转折后面的是作者的态度。你要注意的是,作者对什么进行了转折。那个关键词你要找出来。 13.在应该出现答案的地方,没有答案。接着往下读。答案可能会在下一段的开头部分。因为文章都是接着说的。要有连贯性。这和7选5的技巧有些相似。不过这种情况并不多见。 14.一个长句看不懂,接着往下看,下一句可能是这个长句的解释说明。是的话,这个地方可能会出题。出的话,答案就在这附近。而实际情况是,文章在谈论某个问题或提出某个观点时,有时会再做进一步的解释说明。这种情况下,这里往往会设问题。不过,这种情况很少见了。 15.有些句子仅仅是解释补充,或者是起过渡作用的。这样句子的特点是,句子比较短。注意,答案一般不会在这儿出现。选项中出现,肯定是干扰项。你要知道的是,同意替换的句子,大都是长难句。一些作为过渡的句子,不可能是答案。在你读不懂的情况下,要有这个判断力。 16.正确选项都是原文中的个别几个词的同义替换。阅读理解历年的所有真题,都是同意替换!就看你能不能找得到。那个关键词,就看你找没找得到,不管是什么类型的题。 17.每一个问题,在原文中,都要有一个定位。然后精读,找出那个中心句或者关键词。要抓文章的中心主旨和各段落的大意,阅读理解考的就是这个“中心句”。 18.选项中的几个单词,是该段中不同句子里的单词拼凑的,有时看上去很舒服,注意,干扰项。还有从不同的段落里的词拼凑到一起的,直接排除。总之,选项的单词是拼凑的,肯定错。 19.一定要注意文章中句子的宾语部分,尤其是长难句中主干的宾语。上面说了,考研英语大都是长难句里设题。你要知道的是,长难句里,最可能是出题的就是句子的主干部分!主干的主语、宾语是什么,一定要知道。正确选项的题眼往往就在这儿。当然,还有一些起修饰、限定作用的词,一定要看仔细。小心陷阱。 20.若某个问题,是特别长的一个句子,一定要看清问的是什么,别打马虎眼。这是做题时需要留意的地方。 21.注意问题的主语是谁,它和原文题眼的主语原则上是一致的。主语不一致,一般来说,都是错的。 22.即第6条,某某人说的话,尤其特别长的句子,或者是带引号的。60%以上会出题。题眼就在这儿。这里又提了一遍,就是要引起你的重视。 23.错误的选项,往往是就文章某一方面而说的,其特点是:所涉及的,仅仅是某一个小问题,或者很具体,非常具体的一件实事。200%错误选项。一定要会识别。 24.中国人出的题,多是总-分结构,或者总-分-总。所以每段开头结尾,都要注意。(这里指的是中间没有出现转折的段落)。整篇文章的开头结尾。也要重视。 25.文章的结构,要么总-分或总-分-总,要么转折、对比,要么举例说明。就这么几个套路。 26.对选项中的“重点词”(即主语、宾语、修饰语)都要看清楚。有的时候,选项中,会对原文中本来正确的事做错误的修改,来作为干扰项。你要注意的是,选项句子的主语(与原文)是否一致、宾语是否符合原文意思,或者用一些牵强的修饰词,来做一些特殊的限定。要看清楚。这是干扰项的特点之一。 27.某人说过的话,有时并不是题眼,但可以从侧面或某个角度来反映作者的观点,也就是作者想表达的。正确答案都是和这样的观点相一致的。要把握关键词,有感情色彩的词。做题时,要有这个意识。 28.就某个词或者某个句子设问题,不用猜词。就一条,文章主旨!不用去研究这个词什么意思,把握主旨即可。全文主旨和段落主旨(前者更重要)。 29.接着28条说,不管什么题型,上面说的还是其他别的题型。很绝对的说,反映主旨的肯定对,前提是你能确定它就是主旨。 30.注意中心句(即题眼)和前后句子之间的关系,是接着说的,还是转折关系。这里出题的话,要把握和前后句子之间的关系。是并列关系的,可以从这些句子里找同义词。是转折关系的,就通过转折关系句子里的关键词的相反意思来判断。前提是在你读不懂的情况下。 31.凡是举例的,都是为了说明观点的。那么,这个观点(中心句),一般来说,会在举例之前就表达了。但有时候也在举例之后。总之,作者举例想说明的这个观点,你一定要找出来。 32.排除2个选项以后,选出和文章主旨相关的选项即可。不知道主旨就把握关键词。 33.词汇题的正确答案,往往隐藏在原文的该处附近(就是那个同义替换词),原文这附近的句子,是并列关系或者解释说明句的,就从这些句子的关键词的相近意思去把握。是转折关系的,就从关键词的相反意思去把握。总之,你要找的就是那个关键词。和30条一起理解吧。 34.如果原文中出现“ A is B and C”。若某一问题,选项中出现了B没C,或者只出现C没B。肯定错,直接排除。可能你会问了,同时出现B and C 咋办? 目前还没出现过这种情况。注意,这里说的B和C,是单词或者短语。这是干扰项的特点之一。 实际情况是,这个句子不是题眼。 35.接34题说,还一种情况是,若B和C是2个长句子,中间用分号隔开的。且这两个句子都是作者想表达的,选项中都出现了。一般来说,选项中会对其中之一做错误的修改来作为干扰项。而另一个是对的。(不过总体来说,这种题型非常非常少见。我在这里想说的是34条。这样的干扰项,你要会识别。) 36.注意几个词,yet表转折,hardly表否定。while 有时是比较,有时也表转折。比较的时候,注意比较的对象,要弄清楚。转折的时候,你要知道作者对什么进行了转折。 37.如果你对“关键词”比较蒙,或者你想问:我怎么知道哪个是关键词?解释一下,关键词就是句子中主干的宾语。尤其是一些你觉得比较重要的句子。这样的句子多数是长难句。一般来说,一个句子主干的主语,宾语,和其他的修饰部分,都是很重要的! 宾语是主语的宾语,所以,和主语是要对上号的,对不上不行。(也就是26条的主语是否一致)至于修饰的部分,干扰项常常在这里做手脚,比如会有一些特殊的限定,千万要留意,别疏忽了。 38.什么是中心句?即反应文章的主旨和每一段的中心意思的一句话。这句话是客观存在的。也就是作者的观点。中心句即题眼,选出正确答案,看的就是中心句。只有中心句才能选出正确答案。所以,中心句不知道在哪,或者读不懂,很难选出正确答案。中心句的具体位置,见下条。 39.很关键的一条,抓住每段的中心意思,也就是中心句。每段至少一句,最多2句。 一般来说,总分结构的段落,中心句一般在段首。举例段一般在举例前后。转折段,中心句在出现转折的地方,或者后一句(一般来说在该段的第三行上下浮动)。再就是某某人说的话。要注意这句话和前后句的关系,是并列还是转折。然后来把握这句话的意思,把握不了就通过前后句是并列还是转折关系的关键词来把握。 【实战演练】 【记叙文阅读】 Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel's hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat's lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin's cousins, Mr Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape (风景) painting. William Williams, a wellknown painter,came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist. 21.What is the text mainly about?[来源:Z。xx。k.Com] A. Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia. B. Williams' influence on Benjamin. C. The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist. D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. 22.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest? A. The cat would be closely watched. B. The cat would get some medical care. C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly. D. Benjamin would have real brushes soon. 23.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A. He took him to see painting exhibitions. B. He provided him with painting materials. C. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia. D. He taught him how to make engravings. 24.Williams' two books helped Benjamin to ________. A. master the use of paints B. appreciate landscape paintings C. get to know other painters D. make up his mind to be a painter 22. D 句意理解题。该句需要结合上下文来理解。根据上文第二段提到本杰明剪猫的毛来制作画笔, 导致猫的“毁毛破相”,而第三段提到本杰明的堂兄Pennington给他送来了很多画画的颜料和画笔。由此我 们可以推断,该下划线句子内容说明“猫的命运不久将得到改善”,而这一点可以从本杰明得到了很多画笔资 助推断出来。故这句话隐含着“本杰明将很快不再需要用猫的毛制作画笔了,他将得到很多真正的画笔”的意 思,答案选D项。 23. B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段首句“In the city, Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.”可知,为了更好地培养本杰明的画画天赋,堂兄Pennington给了他很多帮助,提供了创作用的材料等,故选B项。 24. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段本杰明说的话,以及“While it is likely that he understood…The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist.”可知,著名画家William给予的两本关于绘画的著作启迪了本杰明幼小的心灵,帮助他打开了通往伟大艺术的殿堂之门,使他立志成为艺术家,所以答案选D项。 【广告类阅读】 What’s On?

C 【议论类短文阅读】 Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹) — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 51. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 52. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 53. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 54. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?[来源:Zxxk.Com] A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 55. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to be courageous. B. To advise people to build up physical power. C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities. 【答案】51.C 52.B 53.D 54.D 55.A [来源:Z。xx。k.Com]查看更多
