九年级英语阅读理解专题（一）沈阳牛津版知识精讲

1、九年级英语阅读理解专题（一）沈阳牛津版【本讲教育信息】一、教学内容：阅读理解专题（一）二、教学目标：解读中考阅读理解的要求和选材、分析主旨大意题和猜测词义题【具体教学过程】一、中考考纲对阅读理解的要求根据教育部制定的英语课程标准，初中毕业生应达到五级综合语言运用能力。阅读理解是综合语言运用能力的一个重要方面，在中考中所占比重越来越大，这是拉开档次的题目。阅读理解五级的目标部分描述如下：1、能根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义；2、能理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系；3、能找出文章中的主题，理解故事的情节，预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局；4、能读懂常见体裁的阅读材料；5、能根据不同的阅读目的运

2、用简单的阅读策略获取信息；6、除教材外，课外阅读量应累计达到15万词以上(上海的要求更高一些，30万词以上)。阅读理解能力的培养是中学英语学习的一项重要任务，也是中考的一项重要内容。中考英语“阅读理解”题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评估能力等。要求学生能较快地通过阅读理解短文大意，获取其中的主要信息，能作出正确判断，然后根据试题的要求从a，b，c，d四个选项中选出最佳答案或回答出所提问题等等。要求阅读速度为每分钟40-50个词。二、中考阅读理解的选材试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史

3、、地理、科学技术等各个方面。（这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累，做个有心人）体裁多样化，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格（要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势）等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确率高、阅读速度快。阅读理解的阅读材料的选取一般遵循三个原则：1. 阅读文章不少于三篇，阅读量在1，000个单词左右；2. 题材广泛，包括科普，社会，文化，政治，经济等；3. 体裁多样，包括记叙文，说明文，应用文等；三、中考阅读理解考查的主要内容及解题的方法和技巧（一）考查掌握所读材料的主旨和大意的能力。这类试题要求对文章的整体或局部（如段落）进行

4、分析、概括，归纳相关部分的中心大意（main idea），选择标题（title），判断作者的写作目的（purpose）等，旨在考查考生加工与浓缩信息的能力。1、题干表现形式：(1) which is the best title of the passage?(2) which of the following is this passage about?(3) in this passage the writer tries to tell us that_.(4) the passage tells us that_.(5) this passage mainly talks about_

5、.2、如何获取段落的主旨和大意？最有效的办法是找出主题句(topic sentence)。一篇文章（或一段文章）通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的。而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句。在一篇短文或一个段落中，大部分主题句的情况有四种： （1）主题句在段首或篇首。主题句在段首或篇首的情况相当普遍。一般新闻报道、说明文、议论文大都采用先总述，后分述的叙事方法。 例如：xxx省英语中考试题阅读材料b的第一段：all living things on the earth need other livi

6、ng things to live. nothing lives alone. most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they fo

7、rm a food chain(食物链). some food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears 59. which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?a. animals b. plants c. food chains d. living things（2）主题句在段末或篇末。用归纳法写文章时，往往表述细节的句子在前，概述性的句子在后，并以此结尾。这种位于段末或篇末的主题句往往是对前面细节的总结，归纳或结论。例如：xxx

8、省中考试题阅读材料a的最后一段：if you buy some well-made clothes, you can save money because they can last longer. they look good even after they have been washed many times. sometimes some clothes cost more money, but it does not mean that they are always better made, or they always fit better. in other words, so

9、me less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.（3）主题句在短文中间通常前面只提出问题，文中的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出,而后又作进一步的解释, 支撑或发展。例1：just as i settle down to read or watch television, he demands that i play with him. if i get a telephone call, he screams in the background or knocks somethi

10、ng over. i always have to hang up to find out whats wrong with him. baby-sitting with my little brother is no fun. he refuses to let me eat a snack in peace. usually he wants half of whatever i have to eat. then, when he finally grows tired, it takes about an hour for him to fall asleep. 例2：for adul

11、ts a cold is not that serious. however, this is not the case for children. cold symptoms in children may be sighs of more serious diseases and should be given prompt medical attention. （4）无主题句有时一篇文章里并没有明显的主题句。这时我们应该怎样来确定文章的主题或中心意思呢？其实这也不难。我们可以首先找出每一段的中心意思，各段的中心意思往往都是围绕一个中心来展开的，或者说是来说明一个问题的。这个中心或这个问题

12、就是这篇文章的主题或中心意思。请看xxx省中考试题阅读理解a:killer bees started in brazil 1957. a scientist in sao paulo wanted bees to make more honey（蜂蜜). so he put forty-six african bees with some brazilian bees. the bees bred(繁殖) and made a new kind of bees. but the new bees were a mistake. they didnt want to make more hone

13、y. they wanted to attack. then, by accident, twenty-six african bees escaped and bred with the brazilian bees outside.scientists could not control（控制) the problem. the bees increased fast. they went from brazil to venezuela. then they went to central america. now they are in north america. they trav

14、el about 390 miles a year. each group of bees grows four times a year. this means one million new groups every five years. why are people afraid of killer bees? people are afraid for two reasons. first, the bees sting（叮) many more times than usual bees. killer bees can sting sixty times a minute non

15、stop for two hours. second, killer bees attack in groups. four hundred bee stings can kill a person.already several hundred people are dead. now killer bees are in texas. in a few years they will reach all over the united states. people can do nothing but wait. 在这篇短文的后面就出了一道这样的阅读理解题：59. the best tit

16、le of the passage is _.a. how to make more honey b. killer beesc. a foolish scientist d. how to feed killer bees（二）考查根据上下文猜测生词的含义的能力。在阅读的时候，常常会遇到一些生词，影响我们的阅读速度，其实大部分生词的意思都可以通过上下文的关系猜出来，此类猜测词义的题目要求考生根据上下文确定某一特定的词或短语的准确含义。1、题干表现形式：(1) the word “ ” in the passage probably means _.(2) the underlined wor

17、d “it” in the passage refers to _.(3) in this story the underlined word “ ” means _.(4) here “it” means_.2、如何根据上下文猜测词义？猜测词义也是一种英语阅读能力。英语阅读理解试题中有不少这样的题目。任何一个实词，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。所谓上下文(context),正如英语辞典所解释的，其作用就是帮助确定上下文中的词、短语或句子的意义。据此，我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词义，即从已知推求未知，也就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。猜测词义时，我们可

18、以应用下面一些猜词的技巧： （1）根据上下文已知部分进行逻辑上的推理猜测词义：例：xxx省中考英语试题阅读材料b: a bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful. it gives us some interesting phrases(短语). one is “ to let the cat out of the bag.” it is the same as “to tell a secret”. now when someone lets out (泄漏)a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag.” 短

19、文后面有一个理解题目：john “lets the cat out of the bag” means he _.a. makes everyone know a secret b. the woman bout a catc. buys a cat in the bagd. sells the cat in the bag（2）依据常识和经验作出判断：例：北京市xxx中考试题阅读材料:as they go around town, the police help people. sometimes they find lost children. they take the children

20、 home. if the police see a fight, they put an end to it right away. sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. the police can always tell the people which way to go. they know all the streets and roads well.文章后面有这样一道题：53. in the text, “put an end to” means “_”.a. stopb. cutc

21、. killd. fly（3）通过因果关系猜词通过因果关系猜词，首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系，然后才能猜词。有时文章借助关联词（如because，as，since，for，so，thus，as a result，of course，therefore等等）表示前因后果。例：you shouldnt have blamed him for that，for it wasnt his fault.通过for引出的句子所表示的原因（那不是他的错），可猜出blame的词义是“责备”。（4）通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词通过同义词猜词，一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组，如happy and

22、gay，即使我们不认识gay这个词，也可以知道它是愉快的意思；二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词。例1：man has known something about the planets venus，mars，and jupiter with the help of spaceships.此句中的venus（金星）、mars（火星）、jupiter（木星）均为生词，但只要知道planets就可猜出这几个词都属于“行星”这一义域。例2：bananas，oranges，pineapples，coconuts and some other kind of fruit grow in warm a

23、reas.假如pineapples和coconuts是生词，我们可以从这两个词在句中所处的位置来判断它们大致的意思。从句中不难看出pineapples，coconuts和bananas，oranges是同类关系，同属fruit类，因此它们是两样水果，准确地说，是菠萝和椰子。例3：福州市xxx年中考英语试题的阅读材料：there is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. it is on a large island in the pacific ocean. the island is

24、 north island in new zealand. 文章后面有这样一道题：what does the word “steam” mean in chinese?a. 自来水b. 大气c. 冰川d. 蒸汽 通过反义词猜词，一是看表转折关系的连词或副词，如but，while，however等；二是看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语。如：he is so homely，not at all as handsome as his brother.根据not at all.handsome我们不难推测出homely的意思，即不英俊、不漂亮的意思。（5）通过构词法猜词在阅读文章时，我们总会遇上一

25、些新词汇，有时很难根据上下文来推断其词意，而它们对文章的理解又有着举足轻重的作用，此时，如掌握了一些常用的词根、前缀、后缀等语法知识，这些问题便不难解决了。（6）通过定义或释义关系来推测词义例：but sometimes，no rain falls for a long，long time. then there is a dry period，or drought. 从drought所在句子的上文我们得知很久不下雨，于是便有一段干旱的时期，即drought，由此可见drought的意思为“久旱”，“旱灾”。而a dry period和drought是同义语。这种同义或释义关系常由is，or，

26、that is，in other words，be called或破折号等来表示。（7）通过描述猜词描述即作者为帮助读者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而对该人或该物作出的外在相貌或内在特征的描写。例如：the penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the south pole. it is fat and walks in a funny way. although it cannot fly，it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish.从例句的描述中可以得知penguin是一种生活在南极的鸟类。后面更详尽

27、地描述了该鸟类的生活习性。【模拟试题】阅读理解专练（一）：（一）little tom down the street calls our dog “the keep dog”. zip is a sheep dog. but when tom tries to say “sheep”, it comes out “keep”. and in a way tom is right. zip is always bringing things home for us to keep! ill tell you about some of them.zips first present was a
