專題08閱讀理解-2022-2023學年高一英語上學期期末專項復習（譯林版2020）【閱讀理解具體題型具體分析】標題主旨題：找出主題句，先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括(如議論文中尋找表達作者觀點態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點的形容詞)。抓住文章主線和關(guān)鍵詞語，歸納文章中心。要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句，有時主題句暗含在句中。猜詞題：構(gòu)詞法（前綴后綴、派生詞、合成詞）、同義詞近義詞（and或者or）、反義詞、上下文語境、定義和解釋(定語從句、破折號）、例子證明（forexample/suchas/like）、詞義搭配、語義轉(zhuǎn)折(but/hoever/while/though/instead）、經(jīng)驗和常識推斷題：一般有推斷隱含意義、推斷作者的觀點或態(tài)度、推斷寫作的目的、推斷文章的出處等類型，需要讀者推出文章所在話的言外之意。直接抄原文信息的選項為錯誤選項，要立足原文，不能無中生有。需要推得近的，不找推得遠的選項。細節(jié)理解題：這類題在考試中所占題量和分值比例比較高，基本四篇文章都會考到這類題型。需要讀者進行仔細的信息對比和排除，從而選出正確選項。【例題精講】【2021-2022學年高一第一學期江蘇省鎮(zhèn)江市期末英語試題】閱讀理解AWhat'sthebestbooktoreadwhenyoutravel？Ofcourse，itisthebookwiththebackgroundofthestory.Bookswillbringyouclosertotheplacesyouvisit.Whenitestothenamesofplacesandscenicspots，youcan'thelpthinkingoutofyourmindandthesceneryinfrontofyouwillbeeromantic.Where'dYouGo，BernadetteMariaSemple'snovel，whichhasrecentlybeenadaptedintoamovie，istoldinemails，andstories，itfollowsBeeBranchtryingtotrackdownhermother.SetinSeattle，Washington，thisfunnyyetheart-breakingnovelisagreatpanionasyouvisitlandmarksmentionedinthebook.Midnight'sChildrenMidnight'sChildrenisafantasticalnovelthattellssomeofthehistoriesofIndia.SalmanRushdie'sstorybeginsatmidnight，onthenight，ofIndia's，independence，whenthe1，001childrenbornthathourarefoundtopossessmagicalpowers.Featuringmagicalrealism，thebookissetduring20th-centuryIndia.AWildChild'sGuidetoEndangeredAnimalsFromNewYorkTimesbestsellingauthorMillie-Marottaesthisgreatcelebrationoftheanimalkingdom：Stressingthedifficultyof：43endangeredspeciesfromaround：theworld，thebooktakesreadersonatripthroughfreshwater，oceans，forests，mountains，deserts，grasslands：andwetlandswhilelearningaboutrareandwell-known.animalsandtheirlivingplaces.MyNameisRedThebook，writtenbytheNobelPrizewinnerforLiteratureOrhanPamuk，hasbeentranslatedintomorethan50languagesandpublishedaroundtheworld.Ittellsastoryofayoungman，whohasbeenawayfromhomefor12years，ingbacktohishometowninIstanbul.Thebook，paintingdetailedpicturesandtellingfrommanyangles，encouragespeopletohaveadeeperthinkingoflife.Whichbooksuitspeopleinterestedinexploringnature？______Where'dYouGo，Bernadette.B.Midnight'sChildren.C.AWildChild'sGuidetoEndangeredAnimals.D.MyNameisRed.Whatcanwelearnfromthetext？______MyNameisRedisabout20th-centuryIndia.AWildChild'sGuidetoEndangeredAnimalssellsbest.Where'dYouGo，Bernadettewaswritteninaseriousstyle.D.Midnight'sChildrenmayattractpeopleinterestedinfantasy.（3）Whatisthepurposeofthetext？______A.Toparefourbooks.B.Toremendfourbooks.C.Toshowthemeaningoftravel.D.toencouragepeopletotravel.【答案】1-3CDB【解析】C.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)AWildChild'sGuidetoEndangeredAnimals部分中的"Stressingthedifficultyof43endangeredspeciesfromaroundtheworld，thebooktakesreadersonatripthroughfreshwater，oceans，forests，mountains，deserts，grasslandsandwetlandswhilelearningaboutrareandwell-knownanimalsandtheirlivingplaces."可知，AWildChild'sGuidetoEndangeredAnimals適合對探索自然感興趣的人。故選C。（2）D.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Midnight'sChildren部分中的"Midnight'sChildrenisafantasticalnovelthattellssomeofthehistoriesofIndia."可知，Midnight'sChildren是一部幻想小說。由此可知，Midnight'sChildren能吸引那些對幻像作品感興趣的人。故選D。（3）B.目的意圖題。根據(jù)第一段"What'sthebestbooktoreadwhenyoutravel？Ofcourse，itisthebookwiththebackgroundofthestory.Bookswillbringyouclosertotheplacesyouvisit.Whenitestothenamesofplacesandscenicspots，youcan'thelpthinkingoutofyourmindandthesceneryinfrontofyouwillbeeromantic."可知，文章主要向讀者推薦了旅游時適合讀的幾本書，所以文章的目的是向讀者推薦這四本書。故選B。BIn17th-centuryEurope,itwasunheardofforawomantotravelbyherself,butthatdidn’tstopMariaSibyllaMerian.In1699,sheandher21-year-olddaughterDorotheasailedfromAmsterdamtoSurinaminSouthAmerica.Thethree-monthvoyagewasdangerousbutshewasdeterminedtogo.Shewouldbethefirstpersontogotoaforeigncountrytostudyandpaintinsectsdirectlyfromnature.WhentheyarrivedinSurinam,MariaandDorotheastartedworking.Dayafterday,theytooktheirpaintingmaterialsintothehotrainforesttocollectanddrawinsectsandplants.Artistshadneverdonesuchathingbefore.Stilllifepaintersdrewfromdeadspecimens(標本).ButMerianhadalwaysbeeninterestedinpaintinglivinganimalsandplants,andherfavouritesubjectswereinsects.Intherainforest,sheclimbedladderstostudyandcollectinsects.Shehadtreescutdownsoshecouldseewhatlivedatthetopleveloftheforestmorethanahundredfeetoverhead.Merianbinedbothartandscienceinherwork.Askilledobserver,shekeptdetailednotes.MerianplannedtostayinSurinamforfiveyears,paintingandcollectinginsectsandplantsthatEuropeanshadneverseen.Shelearntaboutthemedicinalplantsoftheareaandexpandedherinteresttospiders,birdsandsnakes.SheplannedtopublishabookofhernewworkonherreturmtoAmsterdam.Aftertwoyears,shehadtoleaveSurinam.Itwasextremelyhot,andunluckilyshewasillwithmalaria.Butshehadmorethanenoughmaterialforabook.InJune1701,MariaandDorotheasailedbacktoAmsterdamwithmanypaintingsandspecimens-buttrflieskeptinbrandy,bottleswithsnakes,andboxesofpressedinsects.Fouryearslater,in1705,Merianpublishedthebookforwhichsheisbestknown,MetamorphosisoftheInsectsofSurinam.Thepaintingsofinsectsandplantsintheirnaturalhabitatsadvancedthesc
