1、高三英语阅读理解解题技巧与专练Part 2 推理判断与词义猜测抓主旨，明细节，猜词义也需要进行判断、推理。所谓推理判断就是指对已知的事实进行估计、评判后得出的结果。如何进行推理判断呢? 阅读中，要依赖于阅读材料中的事实来推断。 另外， 对已知事实的估计、 评判必须符合客观标准，否则，会造成错误的推断。阅读中的推断可以从以下几个方面人手：1、根据词汇做出推断一个单词通常有两个方面的意思， 一个词典意思， 一个延伸意思。 例 如badly,字典意思为“ 粗劣地，坏地 ，延伸意思有“ 非常”等。2、根据句子做出判断有时候，一个句子所描述的人物及其语言、动作和情态也可以帮助我们做出判断。比如：The

2、young quickly answered, I Yes, sir.”推断：这个年轻人对对方非常有礼貌而且有点崇拜，甚至有些害怕对方。3、根据段落出判断有时，要就整个段落、甚至整篇文章事实进行估计、评判， 从而做出推断。 推断题要求考生严格按照短文陈述的观点或描述的事实做出合乎逻辑的推论。 这一类考题存在一定的难度，因为正确的答案没有直接表述在短文里， 我们不可能像解答一些细节题那样， 在短文里找到直接对应的文字部分作为验证，必须从字里行间悟出作者的言外之意，并加以推敲，从而做出符合作者原意的推断。推断题可针对段落或短文的主题思想、作者的倾向、短文的论调、写作思想和特定细节等方面来进行设置，

3、 各种针对性问题都有相应的题型。部分题干列举如下：1. We can infer from this passage (paragraph, fact, example, evidence.) that2. It may be inferred from this passage (paragraph.) that.3. An inference which may not be made from the passage ( paragraph.) is.4. The passage (author) implies, but does not directly state that5. I

4、mplied but not stated.6. The passage suggests that.7. One could conclude from this passage that.8. Upon reading this passage, one （ We） might logically conclude that.9. From this passage, we would say that the author.10. The author probably feels that.11. The authors attitude toward., is.12. The aut

5、hor seems to be （ in favor of） .13. The paragraph preceding this one most probably discusses.14. The paragraph following this one would most likely deal with.15. The tone of the passage can best be described as.做猜测词义的题目时要注意推测词义的方法。 学习并掌握一些猜测生词词义的方法，对排除阅读时某些生词的干扰是十分必要的。在多数情况下，只要运用一定的技巧，照样能明白生词的含义，从而有

6、效地进行阅读。猜词方法主要有如下几种：1 .利用上下文在阅读英语文章中， 解决生词问题的最有效的办法之一是利用上下文词汇之间的某些关系。这些关系主要包括同义词、反义词、上义词（ 表示类概念的词，如 vegetable）、下义词（ 表示种概念的词, 如 potato、carrot bean cabbage 等） 、词的集合（ 如 hospital 医院 就是 doctor nurse patient、medicine operation等词的集合词） 、词的搭配等关系。如：First of all 1 want to introduce myself： My name is Garmen. So

7、me people call meSmiley. I try to act nice, but sometimes I just cant do it. Some people dont helpme. In my school not everyone is nice. Some people in my school act tough with meand want to boss（ 同 发号施令）me around. I cant always fight because somepeople have older brothers and sisters who fight for

8、them, but I dont. I have a cousinwho is the only one I can count on to help me. But I try not to bother him because Ihave to learn to stand up by myself to get along in life.本文中的tough与前面的nice是反义词，nice出现过两次。1 try to act nice.（ 我想干好。） In my school not everyone isnice.（ 在学校并非每个人都好。） Somepeople in my sc

9、hool act tough with me and want to boss（ 向 发号施令）mearound.（ 我校有些学生很坏，想驱使我。） 几句中的nice与tough恰好形成对照，我们可从熟词nice推测出tough的意义。另外根据文意我们知道文中的brothersand sisters和cousin（ 堂/ 表兄弟姐妹） 都属于relative（ 亲戚） 的集合，据此可推知cousin一词的大致意义：同辈亲戚。2. 利用语法或语境在阅读中， 有时也可以利用某些语法关系有效地推测词义， 常用的这类关系有照应、替代、省略、定义、举例等。如下面两句话：She was shivering

10、. She had never been to war before.其中的she指的是谁? 或是什么? 单独从这两句话是无法弄清楚的。也许，有读者会猜测she指的是一位战地护士。 那么， 它究竟是不是这个意思? 只要把上述两个句子放回到原来的上下文中与其有关部分联系起来，答案便会很清楚了。The dog, who had sounded SO ferocious in the winter distances, was femaleGerman shepherd he was shivering. Her tail was between her legs. She had neverbee

11、n to war before. 3he had no idea what game was being played. Her name wasPrincess.原来，句子中的she指的是一只牧羊犬。由此可见，英语中像she这样的一些词在上下文往往有它所指代的对象。 只要找出这部分内容， 便可以准确地判断其含义。那么，she这类词与其指代对象之间所存在的这种关系就是所谓的“ 照应关系 。起指代作用的she之类的词一般称作“ 照应词” 。按照应词的应用，照应可分三类：（ 1）人称照应它以人称代词、形容词性和名词性物主作为照应词。例如：I,you, he, she, they, him, her

12、, it, them（ 人称代词） ：your, his, her, their, its（ 形容词性物主代词） :mine, his, her, theirs（ 名词性物主代词） 等。1 . 指示照应 它以指示代词、定冠词和指示副词作为照应词。这些词包括：this, that, these, those（ 指示代词） ；the（ 定冠词） ；here, there, now, then（ 指示副词） 。（ 3）比较照应它以形容词和副词的比较等级形式以及其他一些有比较意义的词语作为照应词。具有比较意义的词语一般包括：same, so, as, equal, such,similar(ly),

13、differently), other, otherwise, likewise 等等。掌握了上述类似照应词， 可以使我们充分利用上下文的照应关系，很容易地推测照应词所指代的确切意义。3 . 用利构词知识可以说， 掌握英语单词词义最简单、 最行之有效的办法莫过于了解构词法了。任何事物的产生、发展与变化都具有其内在规律，现代英语的词汇也不例外，它也是按照一定的规律构成的。只要掌握了这些规律，无论单词是怎样构成的，以及如何通过各种方法来推测生词词义。4 . 利用现成释义在一些文章中作者使用一个生词之后往往要接着给出提示解释或说明- - - - 让读者明白其意义。常用提示语句有：such as, b

14、e like, e. g ., for example,this is, thats, that;s to say, or, in other words, be called, mean(s)等。除止匕之夕 卜 ，我们还可以根据文中的括号、逗号、破折号等标点符号帮助判断。如：The food includes poultryfe. g. goose, duck, chicken), salad, bread andvegetables.通 过e. g .我们可以猜出poultry的词义是“ 家禽” 。They wanted to murder-to kill without being kn

15、own一the great man.借助破折号可猜测出murder的意思是“ 谋杀” 。数据推算题要求就文章提供的数据以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系作出计算和推断1 .要抓住与数据有关的信息，并对这些信息的含义有一个正确的理解。2 .如果文中含有较多的数据信息，一定要弄清它们之间的关系，分清有用信息和无用信息。3 .数据信息的意义往往不是孤立的，要正确理解全文大意，还应抓住一些关键词的意义。4 .计算出的数据不一定完全与所给答案相符，但不能差得太远；题目中的数据计算有时是为了起干扰作用， 其相关的数据计算题目也不一定就是答案。 如下文：90-year-old Woman Finishes Ma

16、rathonA 90-year-old Scottish woman has finished the 22nd London Marathon, one ofthe oldest people to complete the 26. 2-mileraCe.Jenny Wood Allen finished in 1 1 hours and 34 minutes. She took uplong-distance running at the age of 7 1 and has taken part in 16 London marathons sofar.Allen, the great一

18、nishing line although she had finished themarathonB. would not enter for marathon race any longerC. covered the marathon at a speed of less than 2 miles an hourD. was the oldest HJnner in the 22 ud London Marathon I. ace选 项C说这位长跑者的速度是每小时小于两英里， 从短race. Jenny Wood All一en finished in 11 hours and 34 mi

19、nutes.这一描述可 知 : 其速度应为 26. 24-（ 11+344-60） 2. 3 miles an hour2 miles an hour。因此 C 不对。文章中的 She saidthis would be her last marathon（ 她说这是她最后一次跑马拉松） ,but not her lastrace. 1 will concentrate on（ 集中）shorter distances, she said一句说明 B 项的 wouldnot enter for marathon race any longer.（ 不再参加马拉松比赛） 这一说法是正确的。又如：

24、en below the age of five. ” 中可得出：挨饿的小孩人数为800 X 1 / 4200。 答案为B。 第二题也是数据推算题。 根据“One person dies everyfour seconds”这一句可推知每分钟死亡人数是：60+4=15（人） 。答案为A。阅读分类专练（ ） （ 2006 湖南卷 B）For the first time in modem history, less than half of the U.

They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Mostportable （ 手提

Water is the best coolingmaterial because it is low in cost and easy to get.Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen.

67、 This is usuallydone by coveting the fire with sand, steam or some other things.

Most people who do this job saythey love their work because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not onlyinside a laboratory, but also out in the field. Fieldwork includes traveling to r

87、ivers,oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens （ 样本） . Reading,writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to readthe research of other scientists. They must be able to write up their own researchclearly so that others can follow it. They also

Besides, the idea of foodmiles ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possibl

Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying50 families to find out just how much

198、more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping（ 录像） the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found thatparents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as thenumber of children gets larger, conversation gives way to th

199、e parents5 efforts tocontrol the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children.0In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQscores, Lewis says. And the more children there are, the less question-asking thereis.The study also provides an ex

200、planation for why middle children often seem tohave a harder time in life than their siblings （ 兄弟姐妹） .Lewis found that in familieswith three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child,who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention.M

201、iddle children are invisible, say Lewis. When you see someone get up from thetable and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child. There is,however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from havingattention: When the TV is on,“ Lewis says, dinner is a non-event.

An experience last weekend showed me this is true

207、. I workpart-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people areour main customers, and its not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But lastSunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy manwalked up to my register（ 收款机）with a box

208、 of biscuits. He said he was out of cash（ 现金） ，had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked ifwe could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldnt help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten ortwenty years before,

209、 and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurtin my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I wassorry, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, butI valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the

210、first, spoke up. If anything, he lookedmore pitiable. Charge it to me； ” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, onthe other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was notallowed either. Then I reached into my pocke

But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. Thework was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were

215、terrible.First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, Itook boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each boxcontained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting anaverage of twelve tons of apple juice every n

Because ofthe low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours anight but did not take home much more than $100

217、a week.But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the workingconditions. During work I was limited to two ten- minute breaks and an unpaid halfhour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavyboxes in near- zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of t

218、he trucks were like ice,which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at nightand most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work,the poor money, and the conditions

But why is it thatsome people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others canlose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all bom with a sense of direction, but it is not properlyunderstood how it works. One theory is
