1、英语:阅读理解高分技巧一、常见题型分析(一)主旨大意题主旨大意题在阅读理解试题中一般在最后一题,要找出主旨大意,应采用快速阅读法浏览全文,阅读时要注意抓住表达中心思想的句子。文章不同,中心句在文章中的位置也就不同,但一般情况下阅读时应特别留意文章的开头、结尾及各个段落的首句和尾句,四个字:启承转合。启指的是文章的开头,承指的是承上启下的句子,转指的是强转折的句子,如:however,but等,因为它们往往包含文章的中心议题。常见的命题方式:What is the main idea of this passage?What dose this passage mainly concern?Th
2、e main theme of this passage is_The main point of the passage is_Which of the following is the best title for the passage?The title that best expresses the theme of the passage is_The purpose of the writer writing this passage is_Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?文章主题常常可以通
3、过文章的写作方法来体现,有以下几种情况:1。题句位于句首。主题句出现在文首,开门见山,提出主题,随之用细节来解释、支撑主题句所表达的主题思想。这是英语中最常见的演绎写作法。2。主题句位于段末。主题句出现在文章结尾是作者采用了先摆事实,后作结论的手法。这种段落称作归纳型段落。这是英语中最常见的归纳写作法。3. 主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题,作者先提出主题,结尾时再次点出主题,这种首尾呼应的写作方法也较为多见。通常,前后表述主题的句子不是简单的重复,后面的表述往往有进一步的引申或发展的意味。4。主题句位于段落的中间。主题句出现在文章的中间,通常前面只提出问题,文章的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引
4、申在文中导出,而后又作进一步的解释、说明或发展。5。主题句隐含在段意之中。全文没有明确的主题句。其中心思想包含在各个句子中,在这种情况下,读者要把所有已知的细节综合起来,进行逻辑推理,概括归纳出主题句。【典例1】 The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do?

7、ee passengers share the cost of gas. (2008安徽卷)This passage is mainly about _。A. energy-saving tips B. fuel-saving tipsC. do-it-yourself tips D. environment-protecting tips【解析】 本文主要介绍了如何节约能源。本文是一篇科普文章,主题很明显,文章一开始就点明了主题,接下来整篇文章都是围绕如何save energy展开,而save fuel仅仅只是其中的一部分。故选A。针对主旨大意类题目,应采用快速阅读法(Skimming)浏览
8、全文。在阅读时,应特别注意文章的开头、结尾及段落的段首句和段尾句,因为他们往往名包含文章的中心议题。选择标题属主旨大意题,是阅读理解题常考的题型之一。所选出的标题应做到概括性、针对性、醒目性的有机结合。1。概括性 要求标题应在最大限度上覆盖全文,囊括文章的主要内容,体现文章的主旨。要防止本末倒置,主次不分,以点代面,以偏概全。2。针对性 概括性原则要求文章标题包括文章的主要内容。但如果标题过大,就违背了针对性原则、针对性原则要求标题不能太过于概括,而是要直接指向文章的主旨。即标题不能太大也不能太小。要量体裁衣,大小适度。3。醒目性原则 标题是文章的点睛之笔,是文章的灵魂。标题往往比较醒目,甚至
9、比较离奇,目的是为了吸引读者的注意力,唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。所以在标题选择的过程中,在满足概括性和针对性的条件下,还要考虑标题的醒目性。(二)推理判断题这类考题中常出现的词有:infer, imply, suggest, indicate, conclude, learn from, probably, most likely, can, could, might, may等。常见的命题方式:From paragraph one we can infer that_What can be inferred from the passage?We can infer from the tex
10、t that?What can we learn from?We can conclude from the passage that_The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that_The author implies that_推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,掌握文章的真正内涵。(1)要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础;(2)要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表入里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从特殊到一般,通过分析、综合、判断等,进行深层处理,符合逻辑地推理
11、。不能就事论事,断章取义,以偏概全;(3)要忠实于原文,不能主观臆想,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;(4)要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调,揣摩作者的态度,摸准逻辑发展的方向,悟出作者的弦外之音。【典例1】 Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishierthe shark(鲨鱼)。Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predic

14、r。【解析】44. B 推理判断题。本题适宜用排除法。由文章内容来看这是一篇科普文,A、D可删除,由文章的语言来看,并未出现大量的专业术语,可删除C “a research paper”(科研论文)45. A 推理判断题。由第一段和第四段可知,前四段所要表达的含义为If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of Sharks to predict bad weather。(科学家们可以通过监视鲨鱼的行为来预测不好的天气”。故A 项正确。细节推断题要求学生根据语篇关系,推断具体细
15、节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息,或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。解答此类题,不仅需要我们有一定的社会基础知识,而且还需要对细节以及有关背景知识有一个充分的理解。(三)词义推测题从考查内容看主要有猜测某个生词、熟词、短语或句子的意思以及猜测代词的指代等。【典例1】 Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends.
