大学英语阅读理解解题技巧

阅读理解应试技巧

2021/5/91LOGO一、阅读方法：首先，在解题前，应先快速浏览文章后的问题，找出题干中的关键词，明确需要解决的问题，这样阅读的目的就很明确；然后带着这些问题的关键词句开始阅读，并结合以下三种阅读方法解不同的题型。略读（Skimming）：这种阅读方式用于快速浏览，其主要目的就是把握全文的大意。要按意群扫视，连贯阅读；要特别注意文章的开始段、结束段、每段的首句和结尾句以及段落之间的连接词语和文章中的信息词，它们往往是了解文章大意的关键。查读（Scanning）：这种阅读方式适于寻找具体细节，例如：事实、数字、人物、原因、年代、方式等。这种方法主要用于做细节题。细读（Readingforfullunderstanding）：这种阅读方式适于某些需要判断或思考的问题。对于这种问题先要找到它在文章中的相关段落，然后逐句阅读，特别是对与问题有关的关键词、关键句要仔细推敲。2021/5/92二．阅读考题类型及相应的应答技巧（一）细节题：主要是考查学生对文章某些事实的细节和数据的掌握，这类问题的答案一般都能在原文中找到。对于事实细节题，关键是要定位准确。应首先找到它的考查点，这种题只要找到细节题所在的地方，再联系上下文，然后根据它的命题规律答题即可。这类题的题干＋答案在意义上通常等于原文中某一部分的内容，也就是说用不同的表达方式使题干＋答案与原文等值（即同义结构，如：educationalinstitutionschool;makestrenuouseffortsstrive）。文中的时间、地点、人物、数量或事实多为提问的对象（即when,where,who,why,how,howmany/much,..），而这些问题的表达常不采用文章中的原话提问，而是使用同义词语等，因此，在选择答案前应首先看准题干，看清问题所问究竟是什么细节内容；然后，在查读时注意寻找与题目相关的关键词语；最后，在充分理解原文、原题的基础上确定答案。2021/5/93TheFrenchRevolutionbrokeoutin1789.AtthetimeFrancewasinacrisis.Thegovernmentwasbadlyrunandpeople’slivesweremiserable.KingLouisXIVtriedtocontrolthenationalparliamentandraisemoretaxes.Buthiseffortfailed.HeorderedhistroopstoVersailles.ThepeoplethoughtthatLouisintendedtoputdowntheRevolutionbyforce.OnJuly14,1789,theystormedandtooktheBastille,wherepoliticalprisonerswerekept.

B:Thebesttitleforthispassageis______.

C:Themainideaofthispassageis______. D:Whatisthepassageabout? E:Whatdoesthispassagemainlydiscuss? 这类问题选择答案时切忌过于具体，不能选择概括全篇文章中某一段落的主题的、或是某个细节的选项；另外也不要选择过于笼统的答案，致使选项中包含的内容超越了文章的主题。最基本的方法是找各个段落的主题句。主题句通常在一段的开头或者结尾部分。因此解答主旨题时，应该多关注一个段落的两头。当然，有时候主题句藏在一段的中间，甚至压根儿就没有主题句。2021/5/921
