3年高考2年模拟1年原创专题21阅读理解——社会生活、文化教

育类（教师版）

【考点定位】2014考纲解读和近几年考点分布

社会文化包括经济、政治、文化、科学等各种题材，是高考英语阅读理解的热点题材。

它以中西文化差异作为选材的重点，比如礼仪、语言、价值观、生活习惯等为主题。题

材涉及社会、文化、教育、体育等方面的内容。-一般一篇文章一个主题，以议论文和记叙文

为主。命题方面，既重主旨把握，又重特定细节、推理判断。从近年的高考题看，阅读内容

的社会实用性越来越强,更重视语言和文化的关系，阅读材料会更多地涉及社会化背景知识。

因此，要通过阅读更多地涉及社会文化背景知识，更多地了解并丰富自己的知识。

【考点pk】名师考点透析

考点一、细节事实理解。

一篇文章必然是由许多具体的细节、具体的内容构成的，所有这些信息以某种顺序（时间、

空间、情感变化等）排列起来，来进一步解释或阐释主题，体现文章的主旨大意。

细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力，属于表层理解题范畴，

难度较小，但在整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大，细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细

节出发来设计题目。

此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问，也常使用下列方式来提问

LWhichofdietollov.ingstatementsis（notitruecorrect、

[Whichofdiefollowingisnotmentioned?

3..Alloftliefollowingaretrueexcept...

4.Accordingtodiepassa5e.v.henv.-heremlrvhsvhotvwhatwliich.etc...?

1.直接事实题

在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息，采用针对性方法进行阅读.因为这

类题的答案在文章中可以直接找SU。如：

AgiantdaniwasbuiltmanyyearsagotocontroldieColoradoRiverindieUS.Tliisdam

wasbuilttoprotectthelandandhousesaroundtheriver.

Q:Hoo'.erDanilies______.

A-bef,veenArizonaand\erada

B.intheBlackCanyon

C.betweenNewYorkandSanFrancisco

D.bothAandB

【解析】由第二段的第一句话和最后•段的最后一句话可得出正确答案是D项。

2.间接事实题

解答此类题，需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断或者要进行简单

的计算。

InvitedbyMr.YeHuixian,hostofthewell-receivedTVprogrammeStars

Tonightv,MissLuoLin,MissAsiaof1991,appearedastheguesthostessonthe

ShanghaiTVscreenlastSunday.

Q：WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrue?

A.LuoLinisanativeofShanghai.

B.LuoLinmovedtoHongkongwithherparents.

C.LuoLinwonthetitleofMissAsiain1991.

D.AsiaTVStationhelpedLuoLintobecomeMissAsia.

【解析】A、C和ID项都可在原文找到答案，而B项原文所给的是：takentoHongkong

可判断不是movedtoHongkongwithherparents,因此选B。

3、数据推算。

IfyouregisterboththeVIEWqualificationcourseandtheForumatthesame

time,youwillsave.

A.$100B.$300C.$350D.$400

这类题H要求学生就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推

断。在做此类题时：

1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。

2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息，那些属于干扰信息。

3.不要孤立看待数字信息，而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。

考点二、主题理解或写作意图推断。

一、主旨阅读理解题■的内容

L短文的标题(tiderheadline)；

L短文或段落的主题(5屿“。；

3.中心思想।mainideal；

1作者的写作目的［purpose）。

二、此类题的设问方式

wouldbediebesttitletortiletext0

2.atdoestliesecondparagraphmainlydiscuss?

3.^11atisdiepassagemainlyabout?

4.Tliemainpurposeofannouncingtheaboveeventsis

考点三、推理推断。

推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到或者没有

明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言

外之意或弦外之音的能力，属于深层理解题。

此类题的设问常常包括infer,imply,suggest,conclude等词，这类题的设问方式主要

有：

1.WecaninferfromthePassagethat.

2.WhatcanbeinferredfromthePassage?

3.WhichofthefollowingcanbeinferredfromthePassage?

4.ItcanbeinferredfromParagraph3that.

5.Theauthorsuggestsinthisparagraphthat.

6.Thewriterimpliesthat.

7.Itcanbeinferredthat.

8.ItcanbeconcludedfromthePassagethat.

9.Onthewhole,wecanconcludethat.

10.Fromthetextwecanconcludethat.

11.AfterreadingthePassagewemayconcludethat.

12.WhatconclusioncanbedrawnfromthePassage?

13.Theauthorisinclinedtothinkthat.

14.Whenthewritertalksabout,whathereallymeansisthat.

15.WhatJsthewriter,sattitude/feelingtowards...?

16.InthewriterJsopinion,...

近年来，高考加大了对学生判断推理能力的考查。判断推理题要求在理解原文表面文字

信息的基础匕作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及

的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可能是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，

既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。做题时

要注意题干的语言形，如Accordingtothepassage...,Itcanbeinferredfromthe

passagethat...；Itcanbeconcludedfromthepassagethat...等，虽然从表面上看

是问有关全文的题，但实际上不用看全篇，仍然只需要根据选项中的线索找到原文中与之相

关的•句话或几句话，然后得HI答案。针对推理题的不同形，可以采取以下做法：1.假如题

干中有具体线索，根据具体线索找到原文相关句（一句或几句话），然后做出推理；2.假如题

干中无线索,如Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethat...；Itcanbeconcludedfrom

thepassagethat...等，先浏览一下4个选项，排除不太可能的选项，然后根据最可能的

选项中的关键词找到原文相关句，作出推理；3.如果一篇文章中其他题都未涉及文章主旨，

那么推理题，如infer,conclude题型，可能与文章主旨有关，考生应该定位到文章主题所

在位置（如主题句出现处）；假如其他题已经涉及文章主旨，那么要求推断出来的内容可能与

段落主题有关，如果如此，应该找段落主题所在处；如果不与段落主题有关，有时与全文或

段落的重要结论有关，这时可以寻找与这些结论相关的原文叙述。

考点四、词义、句义猜测。

词义猜测阅读理解题考查对文中关键词语肺里解。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短

语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据语境来判断。

此类题的设问方式主要有

l.TliewordLine.,meanscanbereplacedby...

2.Asusedintliepassage:tliephrase^../'suggests...

3.Fromtliepassagerwecaninferthatthuwordphrasereferredto...

4.Hieword:isclosesthimeaningto…猜词是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中常

用的题型。它不但需要?隹确无误地理葡上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较

多的课外词汇。我们要学会顺藤摸瓜；通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、

常识、上下文等线索确定词义。

1.定义法。如：

Annealingisawayofmakingmetalsofterbyheatingitandthenlettingitcool

veryslowly.

句子给予annealing以明确的定义，即“退火”。

Itwillbeveryhardbutalsoverybrittle一thatis,itwillbreakeasily.

从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是“脆”的意思。

Theherdsman,wholooksaftersheep,earnsabout650yuanayear.

定语从句中looksaftersheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。

2.同位法。如：

Theytraveledalongwayandatlastgottoacastle,alargebuildinginold

times.

同位语部分alargebuildinginoldtimes给出了castle的确切词义,即"城堡"。

Weareonthenightshift-frommidnightto8a.m.—thisweek.

两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明nightshift是“夜班”的意思。

3.对比法。如:

Sheisusuallypromptforallherclass,buttodayshearrivedinthemiddleof

herfirstclass.

but一词表转折，因此but前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是“她今天第一节上了一

半才来”，因此反向推理，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。

4.构词法（前缀、后缀、复合、派生等）。如：

Perhaps,wecanseesomepossibilitiesfornextfiftyyears.Butthenexthundred?

possibility是possible的同根名词，据此可以判断定possibility意思是“可能

性”。

5.因果法。如：

Thelackofmovementcausedthemusclestoweaken.Sometimestheweaknesswas

permanent.Sotheplayercouldneverplaythesportagain.

从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中，可以推测permanent的意思为“永远的，永

久”。

68.Co句意理解题°难度：中等。划线前句说Peopleareruder...,后句说strongattractionio

electromcequipinent,再结合划线字面意思“礼貌已经脱离了雷达”，可见作者说的是人们

对可见的着迷导致他们不再关注礼貌。只有C项符合句意。

69.Do细节理解题。难度：较易。根据题干中的关键词dealwidihumaiB,定位至第一段第

二句。此句中的anevohitionaiystepbackward,后面的一句说iffeelsveryslow更证实了本句。

70.B.推理判断题。难度：较易。根据题干中的关键词awfiilmessages,定位到笫二段最后

一句，该句提到了两个单邮cruel,disgusting。故B项符合。

71.Be细节理解题6难度:较易。由第一句可知B。文章没有提及A项中的applaud；文章

说到了我们应该承认缺点，不知C项中说到的我们应该不断指出我们的借误；D项与第一

句不符。

选。

64【答案】：B

【解析】：此题为主旨题。第三自然段的首句直接给出明确答案，此句译作跟踪明星的现象

由来已久，故答案选B。

65【答案】：A

【解析】：此题为细节题。做此题有两种可行方法。第一，由文章主旨可知，本文是关于明

星和媒体关系的文章，准确讲是媒体对于明星生活的影响。故本题答案应与媒体产生关系，

否则此题答案所在的段落便会跑题故选限第二，相对传统的做法。通过四段首句可知答案

在这一段当中出现，第二句的photographer的出现是A选项的直接对应。

66【答案】：D

【解析】：此题为作者态度题。文章最开始和最后都有体现。最开始作者谈到狗仔队对于明

星生活的影响，最后谈到明星们的种种无奈，故答案选D。
