中考英语阅读理解复习

中考英语备考名师精品资料一一阅读理解

一、解题策略指导

阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：

1.读材料的主旨和大意，以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。

2.既理解具体的事实，也理解抽象的概念。

3.既理解字面的意思，也理解深层次的含义，包括作者的态度，意

图等。

4.既理解某句，某段的含义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并据此进行

推理和判断。

5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理

解。

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

的评价能力等。

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度高、阅读速度快。

大致来说，主要针对如下方面：1.文章的个别词或句子，可以给

出生词让学生猜意，对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解

释；2.文章的某细节或情节；3.文章的主题；4.文章的背景知识；5.

文章的结论或结局；6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综

合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理

以及对材料的评估能力等。

具体来讲主要有以下儿种题型：

具体信息：这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述

的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中

直接找到答案。

语义理解：题目要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出

解释。解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建

立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。

逻辑推理：这种题目有一定难度，往往不能直接从文中找到答案,

而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，

才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等弦外之音、文

外之意加以推理，才能获得正确答案。

归纳概括：要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或

评价。解这种题目时一，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉

及文章的标题(title)、主题(mainidea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)

等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景

知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文章中

内隐的信息。

词意判断：要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。

在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力，根据不同的阅读目的和要

求，采取不同的阅读方法和策略。

提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。

扫读：是一种快速阅读方法，主要在于对文章信息的精确定位，锁定

重要信息，如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。

略读：也是一种快速阅读，目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同

的是，略读是跳跃式的，略掉一些东西不读，取出短文中的关键性东

西。

细读：细读是完全阅读，目的包括（1）确定中心思想及标题；（2）

了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节；（3）对作者的暗示或隐含思想

进行判断、推理、引申；（4）根据上下文推测词义。

扩大视距：要以意群为单位，注重对整句话的理解，扩大注视空间。

带问题阅读：先浏览短文后面的题目，做到心中有数，带着目的去阅

读，以提高阅读实效。

根据上下文猜测词意：遇到生词，要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文

的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。

3.Theyoungman'seyesightwasreallyweak.

答案

1—3FTF

解析

本题属于阅读理解正误判断题。从文章的选材来看，是一篇故事性的

短文。内容大意是描写一个叫Jeff的年青人，他不想去服兵役，在体

检时假装自己的视力不好而去欺骗医生。医生相信了他，因此他不能

去参军。而晚上在电影院时，Jeff碰巧又遇到了医生。Jeff非常聪明，

又用一句谎言而蒙混过关。此阅读材料共设三道小题：

第一小题题干的意思是说这个年青人想当兵。文章中没有一句话直接

告诉考生这句话的答案是不对的，但从整个短文的意思来看，他是不

喜欢参军的，否则他也不能假装视力不好。这道题属于推理判断题。

第二道小题，题干的意思是说医生开始的时候相信了年青人的话。这

道题属于语义理解性题目，在短文中第六段中“Atlastthedoctor

thoughttheyoungman'seyesightwastoopoor.”这句话中可以看出答案

是正确的。

第三道小题意思是说这个年青人的视力真的不好。这道题的设题上属

于逻辑推理性题目，因为从文章的最后一段可知，他视力如果不好，

就不可能去看电影，也不可能认出医生来。本道题是阅读理解中的第

一篇，故事情节幽默，句子简单易懂。难度不大，旨在缓和考生面对

中考时的紧张情绪。考生在答题中先读懂短文，理解短文的大意和脉

络，然后依据短文内容对试题后给出的句子进行是非判断。同进，对

每一道题进行判断时;应从文章的具体段落和句子中找到判断的依

据，不能凭印象想当然。对有些似是而非的句子，一定要认真识别，

只有完全符合文章意思的方可判定为正确。

答案

1—4ABDC

解析

本题属于阅读理解选择题，是中考阅读理解最常见的题型。本文是一

篇科普性的文章，通过介绍我国科学家袁隆平及他所培育的杂交水

稻，以及他在自己平凡的工作岗位上为国家做出的杰出贡献，向学生

渗透热爱科学的理念，培养学生脚踏实地，认真做事、做学问的求实

精神。

第一道小题的设题属于语义理解性题目，在世界的什么地方可以种植

水稻，从文章中的第一段中“Farmersgrowriceinmanycountries

只有答案A中用的"lotsof"这个词，many与lotsof是同义词，因

此从这句话可以选出答案A是正确的。

第二道小题也属于语义理解性题目，从第二段的第一句话“Chinais

theworld'slargestrice-growingcountry.”可以推断出答案B是正确的。

第三道小题属于直接理解性题目，从第二段中的“Itmakes20%more

ricethananyotherkind."可以选出答案D是正确的。

第四道小题属于归纳概括性题目，需认真阅读全文，仔细推敲每个答

案：答案A具有片面性，文章中说他是theFatherofHybridRice而不

是theFatherofRice；答案B的题干是hisricetofeedallChinese,而

在文章中说halfofChina'sriceplantsareYuan'sspecialhybridrice,此

答案明显是不正确的；答案C是正确的；答案D的题干是growing

differentkindsofrice,而从文章中可以得知YuanLongping只是种植

杂交水稻。答题时考生要在正确理解短文内容的基础上，认真看清短

文后的题目内容和要求，然后根据短文内容，运用分析、排除等方法

选择正确答案。对短文中没有直接说明又无法从短文所提供的材料上

明确做出判断的，就要在理解字面意思的基础上进行深入分析、推理,

或联想短文材料以外的常识加以考虑，从而推断出正确答案。

4.FilmNight,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNight.

解析

本题属于阅读理解回答问题题。文章的题材是考生熟悉的校园生

活的短文，是有关学生的课外活动，共涉及了四个活动的名称，介绍

了活动相关的时间、内容和参加人员等等。第一道小题，问的

是每个月学生们多长时间看一次电影，属于考查细节。从文章中的第

二段中的第一句话“EveryweekthereisaFilmNightofpopularChinese

andEnglishfilms."可以看出是每周看一次电影，而一个月通常是四

周，因此答案应是Fourtimeso

第二道小题，问的是谁能参加中国书法课？属于语义理解性题目，通

过对文章中的第三段的“Theseareopentothewholecity.”这句话的

理解，可以知道此小题目的答案应是Allthepeopleo

第三道小题，问的是学生一个月做几次中国食品。此题的设题同第一

小题是相同的，也属于考查细节性题目。从第二段中的“Everytwo

weeks"中可以知道每两周一次，那么一个月就应该是两次，因此正

确答案应是Twice。

第四道小题，问题是学校有哪些活动？此题属于归纳概括性题目，需

在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳，共有四个，分别是Film

Night,CookingNight,FunNightandChinaNighto考生在答止匕类试题

时，首先弄清楚问的是什么信息(what,when,where,why,how等)；

然后再根据对文章的理解和把握组织自己的语言，写出正确答案。可

以用完整的回答方式，(Theycanseefilmsfourtimesamonth.),也

可用简短的回答方式，如(Fourtimes.)o此道题考查了学生的综合概

括能力和处理信息的能力。

4.Adultscan'tgotothemusicfestivalforyoung.

答案

1.rainy,umbrella2.held,Sunday

3.over,pay4.listeners,alone/themselves

解析

本题属于阅读理解填空题。所选文章的体裁是实用文体，有图表、广

告、海报等形式，图文并茂，所涉及的内容有球赛、天气预报、音乐

会和图书馆书目、音像简介等，具有时代感强、实用性强、可读性强

的特点，贴近学生的日常生活。

第一道小题设题是有关天气的，第一个空问的是在ineastcoasts的天

气是什么样的？属于考查细节性题目，从文章中的"Eastcoastswill

haverain.”此句话中可以得知，应是下雨的天气，而设题是“itwill

be"，应用形容词来形容天气，因此可以得知答案应是rainy；

第二空设题属于逻辑推理性题目，you,dbettertakeanwithyou.

在文章中不能直接找到此题的答案，但是根据对文章意思的理解和推

断，下雨就应该带伞了，因此答案应是umbrella。

第二道小题是有关足球比赛的，第一空是考查学生对题干的理解,The

footballmatchwillbeinJinzhouStadium,根据句意应填"举行”

这一词，答案为held；而第二空on,此空明显是填相关日期

的，属于直接理解性题目，从文章来看，可以填日期，也可填星期，

但题目要求只能填一词，因此只能填星期Sunday。

第三道小题是有关图书馆书目的，第一空间的是每次借书的数量，属

于语义理解性题目，从文章中borrowfivebooksatmostatonetime这

句话中可以得知每次最多是借五本，而设题Youcan'tborrow

fivebookseachtime,当然是不能超过五本了，"超过"这一词应是

overo第二空问的是看录像应该怎么样，从文章中的最后一句keepa

videoforaweekfor1dollar和设题youshouldforwatching

videos可以得知是应该付费的，与for搭配的动词是pay。

第四小题是有关音乐节的，设题是Adultscan5tgotothemusicfestival

foryoung.从文中“MUSICFORYOUNG

LISTENERSv和“Eachadultmustcomewithachild.”这两句话中可

以得知，年青人必须和父母一起来，因此答案第一空应为listeners,第

二空应为alone/themselves,属于考查细节性题目。考生在解此类题

时先认真阅读所给的短文、图表或广告，掌握其内容后，再细读所给

待补全的句子。解题时，可带着问题到原文中去寻找答案，寻读原文

中与之相关的句子。先确定空格处所填词的词义，然后再判定其词形。

解这类题时，应注意信息转换，同义句改写等。
