中招英語(yǔ)閱讀理解專(zhuān)項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練校本教材

1、前言 (Preface) 閱讀是一種重要的學(xué)習(xí)技能。大量的閱讀可以有效促進(jìn)英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)能力的全面發(fā)展，它是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的主要途徑。大量的閱讀對(duì)提高閱讀速度、增加詞匯量、擴(kuò)大知識(shí)面也起著重要作用。閱讀技能既是英語(yǔ)考試的重要內(nèi)容，也是運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)的主要能力之一。提高英語(yǔ)閱讀能力，對(duì)于廣大英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō)，是一個(gè)非常重視但又相當(dāng)艱苦的學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程。盡管我們的英語(yǔ)教學(xué)歷來(lái)重視培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀能力，但由于傳統(tǒng)的英語(yǔ)教學(xué)過(guò)多地承擔(dān)了詞匯、語(yǔ)法等語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的教學(xué)任務(wù)，英語(yǔ)教師常把大量的時(shí)間、精力用于知識(shí)點(diǎn)的傳授、復(fù)習(xí)、掌握和操練上，專(zhuān)門(mén)的閱讀訓(xùn)練，尤其是以語(yǔ)篇能力、思維能力和閱讀技巧為核心的閱讀能力訓(xùn)練不足，導(dǎo)

2、致學(xué)生的閱讀能力并沒(méi)有得到實(shí)質(zhì)性的提高。培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀能力是主要教學(xué)目標(biāo)之一，而在平時(shí)的教學(xué)過(guò)程中我們發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀是學(xué)生最頭疼的問(wèn)題。隨著信息社會(huì)的出現(xiàn)，教育既要傳播信息，又要培養(yǎng)學(xué)生攝取信息、處理信息的能力，而閱讀教學(xué)的目的就是在于培養(yǎng)交際性閱讀能力，能有效地獲取書(shū)面信息，并對(duì)此信息進(jìn)行分析、推理和評(píng)價(jià)，以實(shí)現(xiàn)交際的目的。與其他語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)一樣，英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)包括聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)四個(gè)方面，而閱讀是其中的重要的一部分，且正變得越來(lái)越重要。因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)閱讀是接觸英語(yǔ)，吸收語(yǔ)言材料， 獲取感性認(rèn)識(shí)的最重要的途徑之一。閱讀教學(xué)一直以來(lái)都是中學(xué)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的主體。新課程中學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)明確指出“要側(cè)重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力”

3、。閱讀能力是最為重要的學(xué)習(xí)能力，培養(yǎng)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣、閱讀策略和提高學(xué)生的閱讀能力已成為英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的重要目標(biāo)之一。以中考試題為例，閱讀理解題共40 分，這就意味著考生閱讀效率的高低在很大程度上影響著英語(yǔ)考試成績(jī)。英語(yǔ)閱讀作為語(yǔ)言技能的重要組成部分和語(yǔ)言輸入的主要環(huán)節(jié)之一，在英語(yǔ)教學(xué)中占有重要地位。要提高學(xué)生閱讀能力，單純通過(guò)教科書(shū)中的課文教學(xué)是不夠的，還要根據(jù)學(xué)生的具體情況，有計(jì)劃地指導(dǎo)學(xué)生的課外閱讀量。我們?cè)谶@本書(shū)中給學(xué)生選擇材料時(shí)掌握以下原則：（1）思想性強(qiáng)，內(nèi)容健康；（2）材料難易適合學(xué)生實(shí)際水平；（3）題材涉及面廣，趣味性強(qiáng)，可以是名人軼事、歷史傳說(shuō)、民間故事、寓言、幽默小品、日常生活、史

4、地常識(shí)、科普文章等，要求靈活多樣，生動(dòng)有趣；（4）文章類(lèi)型多樣化，包括政治經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)文化、科學(xué)技術(shù)、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣、歷史地理等；（5）語(yǔ)言地道、規(guī)范。本書(shū)中的閱讀材料不僅有利于學(xué)生擴(kuò)大詞匯量、豐富語(yǔ)言知識(shí)，開(kāi)闊視野、開(kāi)拓思路，還有利于學(xué)生了解英、美等國(guó)的文化背景、生活習(xí)俗、思維習(xí)慣及英語(yǔ)特有的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)方式，從而提高閱讀理解能力和英語(yǔ)運(yùn)用能力。 2015年5月目錄 (Contents) TOC o 1-3 h z u HYPERLINK l _Toc8737 前言 (Preface)1 HYPERLINK l _Toc26083 目錄 (Contents)3 HYPERLINK l _Toc12895

7、EREF _Toc26479 169Part I 中考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解解題技巧 閱讀理解是中考英語(yǔ)試卷中的重中之重，是初中英語(yǔ)教學(xué)大綱的集中體現(xiàn)，而且占分比例較大，是應(yīng)該極為重視的題型之一。課程改革后，閱讀理解題型變得更多、更廣、更新。不僅涉及的面廣，其中包括社會(huì)、體育、生活、傳說(shuō)、人物、文化、史地、科技、政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)等廣泛內(nèi)容，而且題型多樣。 那么，如何做好中考中的閱讀理解呢第一、是要排除心理障礙，不要因?yàn)樽陨碓~匯量小，閱讀文章中有較多的“攔路虎”，而對(duì)之望而生畏，造成緊張心理，導(dǎo)致越讀越慌，越慌越難的窘境，從而影響正常的答題。第二、忌不帶問(wèn)題閱讀。要先看題干，弄清題目要求，帶著問(wèn)題有目的地進(jìn)行閱

8、讀，這樣就能把握方向，同時(shí)也可邊閱讀邊選出考查表層情況問(wèn)題的答案，提高閱讀效率及答題的正確性。第三、是要切忌一個(gè)詞一個(gè)詞割裂地理解，或?qū)o(wú)關(guān)的詞硬湊在一起理解，以致無(wú)法獲取句子語(yǔ)義及特定語(yǔ)境中篇章的意義，造成信息流中斷，曲解或偏離題意。第四、是要善于抓關(guān)鍵句和主題句。文章的第一句或最后一句往往是文章或段落的關(guān)鍵句或主題句，對(duì)文章的理解起著重要的作用；同時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)正確猜測(cè)詞義，有機(jī)地聯(lián)系上下文，讀了上文，猜測(cè)下文，不要逐詞翻譯，造成前后脫節(jié)，缺乏語(yǔ)感，以致于理解錯(cuò)誤。第五，充分利用語(yǔ)篇中的文字或圖表形式等基本信息，準(zhǔn)確地捕捉關(guān)鍵事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)，進(jìn)而歸納出主旨大意，領(lǐng)會(huì)全文的邏輯關(guān)系，弄清作者的寫(xiě)作意圖

9、等，進(jìn)行推理判斷，挖掘字里行間的深層內(nèi)涵。第六，完成選擇時(shí)，看其是否與文中內(nèi)容相矛盾，有無(wú)文中信息支持點(diǎn)，再有就是看它是否完全符合題目的要求；如果讓你判斷其標(biāo)題的話(huà)，要看文章表達(dá)的是人還是事，從而推斷其標(biāo)題內(nèi)容。所有的選項(xiàng)必須以文章為基礎(chǔ)，不要隨意發(fā)揮想象或聯(lián)想。第七，忌忽略時(shí)間。做閱讀理解題時(shí)，一定要從整體上控制時(shí)間，時(shí)間分配根據(jù)文章的難易程度有別。文中一兩處沒(méi)弄懂的地方可以暫且放置一邊，等把全部題做完后，再回頭來(lái)處理。因?yàn)樽鐾觐}后，你的心情相對(duì)放松了往往會(huì)產(chǎn)生新的思路、新的靈感。即使做完題后時(shí)間所剩無(wú)幾了，你再把未處理的題猜測(cè)一下也不晚，因?yàn)槟闳匀挥羞x對(duì)的可能性。第八，良好的閱讀習(xí)慣。這個(gè)

10、要靠平時(shí)的培養(yǎng)?？朔喿x時(shí)不必要的附帶動(dòng)作，如頭部轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)、用手指或鉛筆逐個(gè)點(diǎn)詞等等；避免朗讀，人看的速度要比讀的速度快兩倍，朗讀必然影響閱讀速度；不要逐詞逐詞地看，這樣既影響速度又影響理解。正確的方法是頭部不動(dòng)，用眼睛去掃描，這樣既能提高速度又能整句理解。很多學(xué)生最怕在閱讀時(shí)碰到生詞。接下來(lái)呢，我們來(lái)具體談?wù)勗陂喿x的時(shí)候遇到生詞時(shí)的應(yīng)對(duì)策略。在閱讀英語(yǔ)文章時(shí)難免會(huì)遇到生詞，這就需要我們?nèi)ゲ聹y(cè)該詞的詞義。猜測(cè)詞義可以通過(guò)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，也可通過(guò)語(yǔ)法進(jìn)行分析判斷，有時(shí)還要依靠常識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。考試的時(shí)候是不允許帶字典的，出題的人在設(shè)計(jì)理解題時(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)者往往在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中設(shè)計(jì)出一個(gè)似是而非的答案。這樣答案干

11、擾性特別強(qiáng)，容易迷惑考生。很多學(xué)生碰到了文章的生詞，影響了閱讀速度不說(shuō)，頭疼的是甚至于不能理解文章的本意，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)看似正確答案時(shí)就草率定案，自然而然也就在下面的答題不知該選哪一個(gè)，往往會(huì)掉進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì)者設(shè)置的“陷阱”里,答錯(cuò)的幾率自然增大。其實(shí)文章中大部分生詞的意思都可以通過(guò)上下文的關(guān)系猜出來(lái)的，下面就來(lái)介紹一些猜詞的技巧： 1.通過(guò)因果關(guān)系猜詞通過(guò)因果關(guān)系猜詞，首先是找出生詞與上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，然后才能猜詞。有時(shí)文章借助關(guān)聯(lián)詞(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，as a result，of course，therefore等等)表示前因后果。例如： You sho

12、uldnt have blamed him for that，for it wasnt his fault.通過(guò)for引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的錯(cuò))，可猜出blame的詞義是“責(zé)備”。2.通過(guò)同義詞和反義詞的關(guān)系猜詞 通過(guò)同義詞猜詞，一是要看由and或or連接的同義詞詞組，如happy and gay，即使我們不認(rèn)識(shí)gay這個(gè)詞，也可以知道它是愉快的意思；二是看在進(jìn)一步解釋的過(guò)程中使用的同義詞，如Man has known something about the planets Venus，Mars，and Jupiter with the help of spaceships.此句中

13、的Venus(金星)、Mars(火星)、Jupiter(木星)均為生詞，但只要知道planets就可猜出這幾個(gè)詞都屬于“行星”這一義域。通過(guò)反義詞猜詞，一是看表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞或副詞，如but，while，however等；二是看與not搭配的或表示否定意義的詞語(yǔ)，如：He is so homely，not at all as handsome as his brother.根據(jù)not at all.handsome我們不難推測(cè)出homely的意思，即不英俊、不漂亮的意思。3.通過(guò)構(gòu)詞法猜詞 在閱讀文章時(shí)，我們總會(huì)遇上一些新詞匯，有時(shí)很難根據(jù)上下文來(lái)推斷其詞意，而它們對(duì)文章的理解又有著舉足輕重的

14、作用，此時(shí)，如掌握了一些常用的詞根、前綴、后綴等語(yǔ)法知識(shí)，如前綴un-表反義詞，如happy、unhappy，fair、unfair，important、unimportant等； 后綴- ment表名詞，如develop、development，state、statement，argue、argument等； 后綴-er、-or或-ist表同源名詞；如calculate、calculator，visit、visitor，law、lawyer，wait、waiter，science、scientist，art、artist等，這些問(wèn)題便不難解決了。 4.通過(guò)定義或釋義關(guān)系來(lái)推測(cè)詞義 例如：Bu

15、t sometimes，no rain falls for a long，long time.Then there is a dry period，or drought. 從drought所在句子的上文我們得知很久不下雨，于是便有一段干旱的時(shí)期，即drought，由此可見(jiàn)drought意思為“久旱”，“旱災(zāi)”。而a dry period和drought是同義語(yǔ)。這種同義或釋義關(guān)系常由is，or，that is，in other words，be called或破折號(hào)等來(lái)表示。5.通過(guò)句法功能來(lái)推測(cè)詞義 例如：Bananas，oranges，pineapples，coconuts and som

16、e other kind of fruit grow in warm areas.假如pineapples和coconuts是生詞，我們可以從這兩個(gè)詞在句中所處的位置來(lái)判斷它們大致的意思。從句中不難看出pineapples，coconuts和bananas，oranges是同類(lèi)關(guān)系，同屬fruit類(lèi)，因此它們是兩樣水果，準(zhǔn)確地說(shuō)，是菠蘿和椰子。 6.通過(guò)描述猜詞描述即作者為幫助讀者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而對(duì)該人或該物做出的外在相貌或內(nèi)在特征的描寫(xiě)。例如：The penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the South Pole.It is fat

17、and walks in a funny way.Although it cannot fly，it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish.從例句的描述中可以得知penguin是一種生活在南極的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)。后面更詳盡地描述了該鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)的生活習(xí)性?？偠灾?，閱讀理解靠的是扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)。俗話(huà)說(shuō)：冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)來(lái)自平時(shí)嚴(yán)格的基本功訓(xùn)練和長(zhǎng)期的知識(shí)積累。只要平時(shí)刻苦用功，打下扎實(shí)的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)，又掌握了較科學(xué)的解題方法做“閱讀理解”題是不會(huì)太難的。我們學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不只是和別人交流，更重要的是，要通過(guò)閱讀報(bào)刊書(shū)籍，研讀名著，了解風(fēng)土人情，生活習(xí)

18、慣，科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展與進(jìn)步等等。讀文章必須理解，怎樣才能驗(yàn)證初學(xué)者是否掌握了所閱讀的文章呢？一般有回答根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容所提的問(wèn)題，有給出題干，留一個(gè)空，再給幾個(gè)答案，讓答題的人根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容來(lái)確定正確的答案；也有在題干上留一個(gè)空，由答題人直接填寫(xiě)所缺的單詞（有些難度比較大的題，則將要填寫(xiě)的詞的首字母給出）。無(wú)論是哪一種題型，要想解這一類(lèi)題，必須建立在理解文章內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上，否則就是一句空話(huà)。 Part II 政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)專(zhuān)項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練做政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)初中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解時(shí)，平時(shí)就要注意了解國(guó)內(nèi)外發(fā)生的政治經(jīng)濟(jì)大事，掌握一定背景知識(shí)。對(duì)這類(lèi)文章的敘述特點(diǎn)及內(nèi)容安排有一定了解，還要擴(kuò)展這方面的詞匯。閱讀這類(lèi)文章，要抓住文章

19、的核心，即文章整體和各段主要在說(shuō)什么，也要注意段落間的邏輯關(guān)系。 閱讀理解一Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America.
