高考英語閱讀理解訓(xùn)練系列分類練習(xí)附有詳細(xì)解析 新課標(biāo)試卷

Unit1單元標(biāo)題

高考英語閱讀理解的分值高達(dá)45分幾乎占了整套試卷的三分之一。近幾年高考閱讀理解的閱

讀量呈逐漸擴(kuò)大趨勢，選項(xiàng)詞量增加的幅度大于短文詞量增加的幅度，且閱讀速度進(jìn)一步提高，整

卷的考查重點(diǎn)是閱讀材料，而閱讀理解重點(diǎn)檢測我們的語篇領(lǐng)悟能力，將測試的基本點(diǎn)定于語篇分

析選材多樣，突出實(shí)際運(yùn)用，內(nèi)容貼近生活，寓于交際，具有很強(qiáng)的思想性、時(shí)代性和實(shí)用性，涉

及了社會(huì)文化、教育、科普、II常生活各個(gè)領(lǐng)域。

下面談?wù)劯呖荚囶}中的議論文的閱讀技巧、方法

議論文，有論點(diǎn)，有事實(shí)。作者往往根據(jù)一些很普通的事實(shí)，通過嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)乃季S，縝密的推理得

出一個(gè)具有普遍性或指導(dǎo)性的觀點(diǎn)。該類文章邏輯性強(qiáng)，命題往往從事實(shí)的有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)以及文章的主

旨或作者的表達(dá)意圖等方面著手，考查我們的思維能力和判斷能力。

英語文章講究使用主題段或主題句。主題段通常在文章開頭，簡要概括文章的中心思想，主題

句可能在一段的開頭交待該段的中心意思，再山全段展開或討論這個(gè)意思。主題句也可能在中間或

末尾，由全段展開討論后歸納總結(jié)出來。段與段之間常用詞語連接，承上啟下，使文章行文連貫，

為了深化主題，作者可能用許多方法來寫。議論文的閱讀和其它體裁的文章閱讀一樣，可以有以下

幾種出題方式：1。主旨大意；2。細(xì)節(jié)理解；3,推理判斷等；4。詞義理解。

1.主旨大意題。主旨大意題是專門檢查對短文整體理解程度的。每篇文章都有主題句表明其主

題(中心)思想。常見的問題有：

(1)Fromthepassageweknowthat.

(2)Thebesttitleofthepassageshouldbe.

(3)ThemainideaoftheParagraphisto.

(4)Themainpurposeofthepassageisto.

(5)Whichofthefollowingbestdescribesthemainpointofthepassage?

在回答此類問題時(shí)，要找出文章的主題句，這些主題句常常在短文的開頭或結(jié)尾處，在這兩個(gè)

地方很容易找到它們。那些錯(cuò)誤的答案干擾項(xiàng)有的太籠統(tǒng)，有的則太具體，片面，不能恰當(dāng)?shù)?/p>

反映短文的中心思想。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。細(xì)節(jié)題主要是檢查與主題思想有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)。常見的問題形式有：

(1)Accordingtothepassage,theauthormentions.

(2)Whichofthefollowingdoestheauthordiscuss?

(3)Choosetherightorderoftheevents.

細(xì)節(jié)問題詢問的是作者說了些什么，其答案在本文中已明確表述過，此時(shí)最好的辦法就是在文

中找出相關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)，雖然答案中有的細(xì)節(jié)在文中很清楚，但可能與問題無關(guān)。如果問題采用的

是反向思維，題中含有not或except等表示否定意義的詞，則要更加注意。

3.推理判斷題。推理判斷題主要是提問那些在文中未說明，但已特別暗示的內(nèi)容。題目的要求

常是這樣的：

(1)Thisarticleisparticularlywrittenfor.

(2)Thewriteristiyingtotellus.

(3)Whenthewritersays,hereallymeans.

(4)Thewriterregardsas.

(5)Thewritersattitudetowardis.

做推理判斷題時(shí)，要透過字里行間把握文章的真正內(nèi)涵，客觀地反映文章的思想，克服主觀臆

想。特別注意那些最能反映句子之間，段落之間的邏輯關(guān)系的連詞。深刻而準(zhǔn)確地把握文章的

重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。

4.詞義理解題。英語詞語的詞意非常豐富，語境不同，詞意也不同，要用心揣摩在上下文中的

含義。常見的問題形式有：

（1）Theauthorusestheword"”tomean.

（2）Accordingtothepassage,"”probablymeans

（3）Theword"”inparagraph——refersto.

（4）Theunderlinedword"”means.

（5）Theunderlinedphrase"”means.

詞義理解題中的詞往往一詞多義，可以采用利用上下文中說話者的語氣推測其意義；在特定的

語境中，進(jìn)行邏輯推理的方式也可以獲得合理的信息。

總之，上述關(guān)于議論文閱讀理解的方法與技巧看起來挺費(fèi)時(shí)，但事實(shí)上相反，只要我們平

時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)多加注意，形成習(xí)慣，這種方法則會(huì)成為我們閱讀理解最省時(shí)，最可靠的一種。
