高考英语阅读理解复习

英语阅读精品教案

高考英语阅读理解命题原则：

1)阅读总量不少于2000个单词，篇数不少于四篇；

2)题材尽量多样化，包括日常生活，传说，人物，社会，文化，史地，科技，政治，经济等；

3)体裁尽量避免单一化，应包括记叙文，描写文，说明文，议论文，应用文等。

阅读理解主要考查形式主要有四大类：

1)主旨大意题。该类题主要考察学生对所读材料中心思想的概括。其考察形式有很多，如概括标题、主题、中心思想等。

2)细节理解题。即要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解。这一题型常见的命题方式有：事实认定题、排

序题图形辨认题、数字运算题等。

3)词义猜测题。即要求考生根据一定的上下文猜测生词的词义。

4)推理判断题。这类题主要考查学生根据文章的字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解

文章的寓意等。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题。

阅读理解题解题顺序：

1.扫描题干，确定题型，划出关键信息词(主要侧重于细节题)：这样做会使阅读的目的性更强。

2.扫描文章，划出以下内容。

(1)首段、各段首句、末段末句

(2)与提干信息词相关内容

(3)因果关系词(because,thus,therefore等)

(4)转折关系词(but,however,yet)

(5)指示性的具体信息：1)时间对比2)专有名词3)数字

3.再次阅读题目，联系文章，解决简单题目。

4.对于难以确定的题目，再次回原文反复的看相关的信息点。

出题顺序：题目顺序基本与行文顺序一致

解题技巧:一般情况下，快速阅读的题目顺序与原文的行文顺序是保持一致的，也就是说，下一道题的出处一般位于前一道题

出处后面。总体的试题顺序与文章的行文顺序一致的。把握题目顺序与行文顺序一致的基本规律，将节省我们的寻读时间。

基本做题方法

•明确题型找题区（与题干有关的句子或段落），快速阅读原文作路标（划关键词），大部分题目的题干都在原文题区的基

础上进行了变通，使用了不同的表达方式：词性转化、同义、近义替代、反义叙述、状语提示、概括总结、例子证明观点等。解

答细节理解题，定位能力很重要；最基本方法是：定位+改写=正确答案，就近原则，核心名词，缩小范围，同义替换！照抄原文

的不是解，同义替换的是解。

•原文、问题、选项三者相比较，重要性最高的是国|!!!其次是丽!!最后是亶！必要性思维——正确选项未必能充分

完整地表达原文意思，而只要沾边即可。反之，不沾边的必错！问题中的细节和小词是关键！注意小词。

•概括的、抽象的、与中心思想核心名词沾边的是正确选项。

•首末句原则，即首段和末段原则（不要怕重复和回读）。首段的作用：①中心段②抛砖引玉一一引出文章中心.

•定位+改写=正确答案！务必要用排除法。排除法在此类题型中发挥着不可磨灭的作用。根据在文章中找到的事实依据和常

识排除错误信息，再排除和文章中一词不差的信息（文章里的原句不会是推理判断出来的结果，但通过同义词或句型转换过的选项

有可能是正确答案），最后再排除无关或偏离信息，正确答案就不言而喻了。

具体问题解决策略：

主旨题：可操作性较强，此类题是典型的“难者不会，会者不难”的题目。考查相对较少。

常见题型：其信息词是mainidea;title;subject;headline

1)Whatdoesthewritermainlytellus?

2)Whichofthefollowingcansummarizethemainideaofthistext?

3)Whichofthefollowingbestexpressesthemainidea?

4)Whichisthesubjectdiscussedinthetext?

5)Thebestheadlineforthisnewspaperarticleis___.

6)Whafsthebesttitleforthispassage?

主旨信息会出现的地方：做主旨题不要通读全文，只需要关注重点区域就可。

1）读文章时重点关注文章的首段和首末句。开门见山；转折见山；引子见山；柳暗花明。

2）关注文章中或段落中有没有重复出现的词或词组、有没有黑体字或者是斜体字。如果有，通常这就是文章的核心概念。

3）问句不会是主题句。问句通常作为过渡或者是引子，因此应该忽略，真正的主题应该是这个问题的答案。

4）关注转折关系的连词：“but,yet,however,infact,indeed,practically,”等，这些词后面通常是一段话的主题句。

5）关注一些表征总结性，结论性的词:“inbrief/short,conclusion,tosum”等，这些词后面通常是一段话的主题句。

6）如果文章中含有show,suggest,find,discover等词，重点看其后的宾语从句。

干扰项特点

1）以偏概全。干扰项只阐述了文章的一部分内容，也就是文章的局部信息。

2）断章取义。干扰项常常以文章中的个别信息或个别字眼作为选项的设置内容，或者以次要的事实或细节冒充全文的主要

观点。

3）主题扩大。干扰项所归纳、概括的范围过大，超过文章实际所讨论的内容。

4）张冠李戴。命题者有意地把属于A的特征放在B的身上，构成一个干扰项。考生不注意的情况下，会造成错选答案。

5）无中生有或似是而非。有的干扰项中的关键词语好像在文章中谈到了，但认真分析之后你会发现这类干扰项的内容与文

章的内容毫无联系。

细节题：阅读理解题目中的重量级选手。占的比重大，最少一篇文章考查3个，最多考查5个。

正确选项特征：

(1)同义改写——词汇转换，含义相同

(2)同义转述——含义不同，本质相同

(3)与原文完全相同的不是答案。

干扰项特征：

(1)无中生有(2)偷梁换柱(3)自相矛盾(4)过于绝对

第一、二种是出题人常常采用的方法，尤其以第二种最难，对于干扰项，一定要掌握“像”这个特征，这是核心。

做题方法：

★题干中关键信息词定位：主要是题干中的名词或动词，作为寻找题区的路标。

★完全标识题区，并标注出相应题号，仔细研究选项中的改写部分是否与原文一致。

★绝对词出现的处理方式，常见绝对词：must,always,never,all,no,any(任何),completely,totally,every

(1)文章中：作为重点信息标记出。

(2)题干中：作为关键信息词标出。

(3)选项中：含有绝对词汇的选项一般不是正确选项，只有与文章一致方为正确选项。

细节题分类：

A.从原文直接找到答案所需的信息。

在解答这类题时，我们可采用“对号入座”的方法。先找到原文的关键信息，然后把原文中的信息跟后面的题目对照，即可得

到答案。

B.对信息进行加工。

这类题目我们能够在文章中找到信息，但原文信息又不是做题所直接需要的，需要我们对原文信息进行合理的加工处理，据

此作简单推理。它是介于事实细节题和推理判断题之间的一种题型。

C.综合信息题。

这类题目的信息不仅仅涉及文章的某一句话，还可能涉及文章的几句话，而且有时可能散落在文章的不同段落，因此要求我

们把原文提供的信息综合起来分析，不能断章取义，张冠李戴。
