專題01閱讀技巧-細節(jié)理解題詞義猜測題（原卷版）-1

閱讀技巧細節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測題一、細節(jié)理解題(一)細節(jié)理解類題目常見的設(shè)問方式1.Whichofthefollowingistrue/false/mentioned?2.Whatdoesthewriterpaytheleastattentionto?3.Choosetherightorderoftheeventsgiveninthepassage.4.Allofthefollowingstatementsmaybetrue/falseexcept...5.Whichofthefollowingisnottheresultof...?6.Whichofthefollowingbestcharacterizesthemainfeatureof...?(二)快速辨認和記憶事實的細節(jié)1.查讀法查讀是在讀者對材料有所了解的情況下進行的。查讀的特點是帶著問題尋找答案。(1)用略讀的方法通讀閱讀材料,對原文有一個大概的了解,掌握其主旨。(2)按文章的體裁,如按記敘文、說明文和議論文等及作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞,如forexample,first,second等預(yù)測應(yīng)該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。(3)把主要精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上?？焖偻ㄆx,眼睛自左至右,自上而下呈Z形掃視,直至找到你所需要的部分。待找到你所需要的部分時,可放慢速度,細讀要查找的內(nèi)容。2.按段落組織模式閱讀如:時間型段落作者在記敘或說明歷史人物或事件時,往往按時間先后的順序組織細節(jié)。這種按時間順序組織細節(jié)的段落模式叫做時間型段落。時間型段落都有明顯的信號詞。如first,then,afterwards,shortlyafterthat,later,next,after,before,atlast,finally等。略讀時,通過上述信息確定是否為“時間型”段落,然后按時間信息詞的先后順序進行查閱,尋找有關(guān)的細節(jié)。這種按時間模式閱讀的方法,有助于讀者快速尋找細節(jié),記住細節(jié)。二、詞義猜測題詞義猜測是一項很基本也很重要的閱讀技巧。我們在閱讀中經(jīng)常會遇到生詞,但不需要每個都猜,我們只需要去猜測那些能夠幫助我們正確理解文章的關(guān)鍵詞匯的詞義。一般我們可以根據(jù)上下文中出現(xiàn)的定義、解釋、舉例、同義詞、反義詞以及其他內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系來猜測詞義。另外,構(gòu)詞法和生活經(jīng)驗與常識也能幫上大忙。解題時常用的方法有:1.利用構(gòu)詞法的基本知識破解詞匯。這要求考生了解英語詞匯中常用的前綴、后綴和詞根的含義及功能,準確地推測出它們相互組合形成的整體詞義。(1)轉(zhuǎn)化:指詞的形式不變而詞性發(fā)生變化的一種構(gòu)詞法。如:nursen.護士→v.護理;freeadj.空閑的→v.釋放。一般說來,轉(zhuǎn)化后的詞義與轉(zhuǎn)化前的詞義大致相符。(2)合成:指由兩個或兩個以上的具有獨立含義的單詞組合成一個新的單詞。主要有合成動詞、合成形容詞、合成名詞等。(3)派生:指由一個詞根加上前綴或后綴構(gòu)成一個新的單詞。2.猜測詞義時更多用到的方法是:結(jié)合上下文的意義、線索、內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系進行猜測。判斷所猜詞時,可根據(jù)上下文的意義、句法結(jié)構(gòu)以及文章的內(nèi)在邏輯去猜詞義。一般情況,上下文所提示的意義與所考詞匯通常是同義、反義或針對性解釋的關(guān)系,可直接確定詞義。根據(jù)上下文意義很難判斷出來的,就考慮用句法和內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系去判斷,符合句法和內(nèi)在邏輯的可能為正確答案,反之則排除。3.代入法。代入法是指把四個選項分別代入所猜詞處,結(jié)合語義、句法、內(nèi)在邏輯進行綜合判斷。4.考查指代關(guān)系的題通常是就近指代,解這類題時,一要分析代詞的性質(zhì):指人還是物、單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)、主格還是賓格等;二是結(jié)合邏輯和上下文意義去考慮,正確的選項在邏輯和意義上應(yīng)該是無誤的。Unit1一Wanttospendagreatweekend?Wanttoseeyourfavoritemoviestar?eon!Place:ChengduPeople’sSquare.Time:6：00pm,June,7th.Ticket:￥150.WeletoourclubDoyouwanttobeanartist?Justeandhaveatry!MusiclessonPrice:￥80DancelessonPrice:￥50ArtlessonPrice:￥70SichuanHistoryMuseumYoushouldusethefloorplan(樓層分布)tofindyourwayaround.Ifyouarewithyourchildren,stayclosetothem.Themuseumisverybiganditiseasytogetlost.Open:9：00am—12：00am;2：30pm—5：30pmAdmission(入場券):￥10(freeofchargeofchildrenunder6yearsold)1.Youcanseeyourfavoritemoviestar________.A.inChengduPeople’sSquare
