初中英語閱讀卷
完型解題思路:
1. 必須做到通篇考慮,把握主題, 根據上下文提供的語境進行推敲,運用自己對語法的掌握,對詞的固定搭配及詞義,詞性,句型的了解,得出正確結論。
2. 細讀首句,把握全文。
完型填空的首句通常不設空,它常常是了解文章全貌的「窗口」,由此可以判斷文章的體裁,推測文章大意,把握故事發生的人物,時間,地點,氣氛等多方面的信息。
3. 通讀全文,掌握大意
通讀全文要一氣呵成,目的是從整體上了解文章內容,掌握梗概。
4. 注意句子和句子,段與段之間的邏輯順序和關系,做到上下文兼顧,尋找相關點,從詞語搭配,上下文的需要,習慣用法,詞義辨析和語法結構等方面,耐心細致地逐項分析。
5. 復讀全文,確定答案。
各項考題的答題技巧
完型填空
1. 通讀全文,掌握大意。
2. 選擇答案,填入空中。
在選擇時應考慮以下幾點
(1)注意上下文,通篇考慮,使故事保持連慣性,完整性。
(2)注意語法知識及短語搭配,固定句型等。
(3)不會的空可以用排除法,推斷法(說明文可盡量考慮我們的生活常識,地理概念,歷史知識等)。
3. 重新閱讀文章,檢驗答案是否正確。
閱讀理解
1. 通讀全文,注意開頭句和結尾句。
2. 劃出生詞,通過上下文來推測其意義。
3. 第二遍閱讀全文,帶著問題來閱讀。
4. 做題,找相關段落。
5. 復核答案。
綜合填空
1. 第一遍光讀不做,通讀,了解文章大意。
2. 邊讀邊做,難的或不會的空可跳過去,都做完之後再回過頭來思考。
3. 再讀,檢查。主要檢查動詞時態,形容詞,副詞的比較等級,是否為基數詞或序數詞,代詞的格等。
單項選擇
1. 多注意固定短語及句型
eg.
He is interested everything around him .
此句很明顯,是考核固定結構「be interested in」(對…感興趣),因此,四個選項中肯定會有in這個介詞。
2. 從語法角度去分析題目
eg.
We won』t start if it fine tomorrow .
很明顯,這道題中有連詞if(如果),引導條件狀語從句,它的時態搭配中重要的一點是從句要用一般現在時,因此四個選項中選擇isn』t這個選項。
3. 排除法
eg.
She is a good girl . She is thinking of others .
A. often B. usually C. now D. always
通過觀察,我們發現C選項放在此處說不通應第一個被排除,其它三個頻率副詞放進去都可理順句子,但根據題目中所給的第一個句子,我們發現填always更合適。但實際上這是always的一個用法,即它與現在進行時連用可表達贊揚,憤怒等情感。

㈧ 初中英語閱讀理解試題(含答案和解釋)
My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破壞)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(語言學家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of a foreign language.
B. To show an example of creative methods.
C. To express worries about using Netspeak.
D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
答案:D
【解析】在審題過程中請大家主語是main purpose而不是main idea ,第一段就一句話,而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子,這樣的句子用在開頭,很明顯是為了引出下文。或者大家可以運用排除法文章主要對象是netspeak ,而A,B兩項沒有提到netspeak 故排除,又因為C選項在感情色彩上是負面,與原文感情色彩相違背,故答案選擇D。
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
答案:C
【解析】本題為判斷正誤題,也叫做細節推斷題,解題方法依據選項中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點,A定位詞為CM在原文倒數第二個自然段出現,其中引號的句子中用了worries與答案中的properly相反,所以排除;B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現Standard English.是在倒數第二個自然段與CM相關的信息,所以此選項為典型的張冠李戴;D選項為片面的誇大其辭,文章層面只能看到language is changing,而沒有任何細節提到improving,所以根據文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項。
3. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised
C. think it a pity D. find it interesting
答案:A
【解析】本題為短語推斷題,解題方法結合上下文邏輯關系,上文提到年輕人會harming 語言,下文接著說當他們成為父母後,they too will think this way .他們也會這么想,那麼中間空出一定是強調,並凸顯出下文,那麼最滿足條件的解釋是A選項。
4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
答案:B
【解析】本題為主旨大意題,結合專家的觀點,既引號中的句子我們可以斷定,全文的中心思想是為了凸顯出netspeak的好,A 選項文章沒有凸顯出widely -used C 選項沒有重點提及到language learning D文章觀點很鮮明,並不是正反觀點的論證,故答案選擇B。
