『壹』 江苏高考英语阅读理解的解题技巧

2017江苏高考英语阅读理解的解题技巧

江苏省高考英语试卷总分120分，阅读题(泛指完形、任务型等)占据60分，其中阅读理解占据一半。因此，提高阅读理解能力成了学生考得好成绩的关键。同时，其命题特征以及解题技巧也成为高中师生的重点研究对象之一。下面是我为大家带来的高考英语阅读理解的解题技巧，欢迎阅读。

一、解读课程标准，回顾五年高考

普通高中英语课程标准指出，基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。本着着重培养高中生在人际交往中得体运用英语，提高学生用英语处理信息、分析、解决问题的能力及批判思维能力， 2011年到2015年江苏高考英语阅读理解选材呈现体裁多样，话题广泛，语言地道、内容新颖且贴近生活、时代感强的特点。

1. 从体裁、题材与题型方面解读

如下图，江苏近五年高考阅读理解还具以下特征：应用文、议论文、说明文居多，记叙文向夹叙夹议过渡并逐渐被取缔;常考题型有细节理解题;推理判断题;主旨/段落大意题;词义/句意猜测题。细节理解题及推断题比例较大;对文化背景知识的考查已成为阅读D篇的首选。

2. 从篇幅、字数及阅读速度方面解读

如下图，近五年阅读理解命题稳中求新。近三年阅读理解题目设计风格相似，设置题数均为A篇2题，B篇3题，C篇4题，D篇6题，而且D篇文章篇幅均比2011年、2012年长。此外，语篇字数逐步增加，阅读量渐大，近五年阅读速度达每分钟73词～79词，平均每篇文章要在6分钟～8分钟内完成。这就需要学生有较强的基本功，才能做到既有速度又有准度。由此可见，提高阅读理解时效性是取得高分的突破口。

二、把握特点，克服障碍，探究技巧

1. 准确定位，推敲细节

细节理解题需要学生对文章中的特定细节进行辨认和判断，多为直接性提问，难度相对较小，得分率较高，在近五年高考阅读理解题中所占比重较大，因此是学生夺取高分的基础。题干中常见考查信息有六点：时间、地点、人物、原因、事件和方式，简称为“5W1H”。5个W代表 when，where，who，what，why;1个H即how。常见提问方式有：According to the passage，5W or 1H(when， where， who， what， why， how)________?Which of the following is typical of…?What is unique of…?例如：What are you encouraged to do when travelling in New Zealand?(2015江苏高考57题)Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?(2014江苏高考63题)题干中常出现一些表示人名、地名的专有名词;表示年份、数字、百分数等数词;大写的名词等定位词。例如：Why is June 6，1990 a special day for Mommy?(2014江苏高考65题)What can we learn from the Florida study?(2015江苏高考62题)解题时，学生可采用读题干、选项→读文章→做题目的方式，通过题干定位词，找出原文中与正确选项匹配的同义表述，确定正确选项。

2. 忠实原文，理性推理

推理判断题常要求学生推断文章隐含意思、作者写作意图、观点态度、目标读者、文章出处等，其中推断文章隐含意思题较多。推断隐含意思的题干中常用到infer，imply，suggest，conclude，indicate，learn，intend，mean，describe，purpose等词。例如：By mentioning the Swiss study， the author intends to tell us that ________.(2015江苏高考58题)What can be inferred from Mommy's Anglo family life?(2014江苏高考68题)解题原则为立足原文推论，忌掺杂主观臆断。注意四个不选：对阅读材料简单重复而非推理的选项不选;文中没有谈及却又符合常识的选项不选;对文中提及的内容故意增减的选项不选。属于原文信息但并非题干要求内容的选项不选。对于其他考题，学生可根据文体特征，结合主旨推知文章出处、作者写作意图;结合内容判断作者观点;根据措辞口吻判断目标读者及作者态度(主观、客观、肯定、否定、中立)。

3. 理清篇章结构，归纳主旨/ 段落大意

理清文章结构，不仅有助于学生把握文章脉络结构，理解作者的观点在文中提出、展开的途径，还可帮助学生理解记忆文章的主要信息，学会有选择地阅读文章，从而提高阅读理解速度和准确度。文章的主旨大意常可以通过文章的常见写作方法体现出来。学生阅读文章时，可边分析写作方法，边寻找主题词或主题句，而后总结文章主旨。“三维设计高考总复习”把文章的写作方法分为以下几种：倒三角形写作法(▽)，即“总-分”结构。开门见山提出主题，用细节支撑和发展主题句;正三角形写作法(△) ，即“分-总”结构。先表述细节，再归纳要点、结论、建议等，以概括主题思想;圆形写作法(○)，常称为“总-分-总”结构。作者先提出主题，结尾时再次点出主题，对文首主题进一步引申;菱形写作法(?)开头先呈现一种社会现象或事例，然后引申出文章的中心或主题，而后对其作进一步的解释或发展。主题句常在文章中间出现;正方形写作法(□)的主题隐含在全文之中，没有明确的'主题句。建议无论主旨大意题在什么位置出现，把主旨大意题放在最后做，因为对另外几题的解题过程会帮助学生加深对文章的理解。

4. 突破生僻词汇，剖析长句难句，猜测词义/句意

高考对词汇句意的考查并非简单考查学生的词汇量，而是要求学生根据上下文进行合理推测。可以常识采取以下方法：

(1)“跳过去”“猜出来”。文中出现的生僻词，不影响理解的，学生大胆选择“跳过去”;需要准确理解含义的，则借助情景和上下文“猜出来”。例如：Consider that most famous economic rule of all：There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free，the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities. (2014江苏高考阅读B节选)分析：围绕“天下无免费的午餐”这一原则，文中举例说即使有人请你吃免费餐，你花时间吃免费餐也是有某些代价的。同时，结合全文核心词“机会成本”的含义推测，forgone opportunities指的是为某一机会而放弃的另一个机会。

(2)提取主干。阅读理解中出现的长句难句常带有较多修饰成分，即带有定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句等。理解长句难句的核心思想就是“提取主干”。抓住主干，理清成分有助于对句子的理解。例如：A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste， the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.(2015江苏高考阅读B节选)分析：整句主干：“A Swiss study reported that…”(剩余部分为that引导宾语从句)宾语从句中主干：“the concentration of gold…occurring minerals.”“while the weight…to total waste”为宾语从句中的让步状语从句。其中“represented by precious metals”为定语修饰“the weight of electronic goods”“in comparison to total waste”为比较状语。

此外，做阅读理解题时，考生要牢记“顺序原则”。高考阅读理解题目通常是严格按照文章的先后顺序，如果考试时发现某道题在原文定位不准，可先定位下一道题的原文出处，再按照顺序原则倒推本题出处。

三、结束语

普通高中英语课程标准指出：文化意识是得体运用语言的保证。学生要完胜高考阅读理解，就需要在平时就注重对词汇和语法知识的积累并强化多元文化背景材料的阅读，多读国外著名人物演讲稿、科普读物、简装版英文小说、各种适合高三学生的英语阅读刊物，提高对中外文化异同的敏感性和鉴别力，确保解题游刃有余。

Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely——though by no means uniformly——glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.

Now utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.

But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have enred for millions of years —— so why shouldn't we? Take a broader look at our species' place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years. Look up Homo sapiens in the "Red List" of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature (IUCN) ,and you will read: "Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline."

So what does our deep future hold? A growing number of researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about that question. For example, the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project a medical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of years hence.

Perhaps willfully, it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today's technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That's one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future.

But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with considerable assurance. As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.

This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad. To be sure, the future is not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to rece many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lot of those to come.
考研英语阅读翻译
几十年前，我们对于未来的看法尽管并不一致，但总的来说颇为乐观。我们相信科学和技术将会治愈人类的一切疾病，使所有人都过上充满机会和成就感的生活。

如今，随着我们对自己所面临的一系列威胁有了更深刻的认识，比如从小行星撞击，到流感，再到气候变化，乌托邦式已经不合时宜。你甚至可能会禁不住要想：人类几乎前途渺茫。

然而，这种担忧不合时宜。化石记录表明，许多物种已经存活了数百万年之久，那么人类为何就不可以呢?从一个更宏观的视角来看一看人类在宇宙中的地位，就会清楚明白，即使人类生存不了几十万年，至少再存活几万年的机会还是很大。在国际自然保护联盟的濒危物种 "红色名录"上查阅"智人"这一条目，你会读到："由于该物种分布非常广泛，适应性强，目前数量持续上升，且不存在导致其整体数量下降的重大威胁，故被列为最无危物种"。

那么，我们的遥远未来会是什么景象呢?越来越多的研究者和组织机构正在认真思考这个问题。比如，今日不朽基金会的旗舰项目是一台机械时钟，该时钟的设计目标是能够在几千几万年后保持计时功能。

这样做或许有些一意孤行，但推想久远的未来要比思考即将发生的未来更为容易。当今技术的可能发展及它的社会影响结果非常复杂，或许最好的办法是让科幻小说家和未来学家去探索我们能想象到的种种可能。这正是我们发行《弧》的原因之一，该新刊物旨在探索不远的未来。

但是，如果采用一个更为长远的视角，我们便能对惊人数量的事情做出很有把握的预测。通常，过去掌握着通向未来的钥匙：目前，我们已经充分了解有关地球历史和人类历史的长期发展模式，这使我们能对子孙后代的生存环境做出有根据的预测。

这种长远的视角使我们对未来的悲观态度更像是一股短暂的风潮。诚然，未来绝非一片光明。不过，我们已经有足够的知识去降低许多曾经威胁前人生存的危险，以及去改善后人的命运。

『肆』 英语小说阅读题

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for ecation, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American 'dream' was to have a house in the suburb.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now alts. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburb because their jobs are there ; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city---a wealthier, more mobile class.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.

『陆』 高中英语阅读理解解题小技巧

1.阅读理解答案与干扰项

一般而言，高中英语阅读理解答案项的设置有以下几种方法：

(1)选用原文中的词句;

(2)使用原文词句的同义词或相似结构;

(3)使用原文词句的反义词或相反结构;

(4)答案项是对生词、长句或难旬的解释;

(5)答案项是对原文词句或段落的归纳、推理或演绎;

(6)使用原文的上下义结构。

2.混淆思维

高中英语阅读理解命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点;或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到高中英语阅读理解选项中去。

3.偷梁换柱

高中英语阅读理解干扰项用了与原文相似的'句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个英语词汇，造成高中英语阅读理解句意的改变。

4.无中生有

高中英语阅读理解干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种高中英语阅读理解选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。

5.以偏概全

考生在做高中英语阅读理解时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。

不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是高中英语阅读理解直接表述的结论;深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。

高中英语阅读理解例题解析

Since the dawn of human ingenuity,people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous,boring,burdensome,or just plain nasty.That compulsion has resulted in robotics—the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction,they have begun to come close.

As a result,the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor.Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms.Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction.Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers.And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics,there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.

But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves—goals that pose a real challenge.“While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,”says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA,“we can't yet give a robot enough‘common sense’to reliably interact with a dynamic world.”

Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has proced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.

What they found,in attempting to model thought,is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented—and human perception far more complicated — than previously imagined.They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant,instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd.The most advanced computer systems on Earth can't approach that kind of ability,and neuroscientists still don't know quite how we do it.

26.Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in人类的创造性最初表现在

[A]the use of machines to proce science fiction.用机器来创作科幻小说。

[B]the wide use of machines in manufacturing instry.制造业对机器的广泛使用。

[C]the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.

发明工具以处理困难和危险的工作。

[D]the elite’s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.

精英人士对危险和枯燥的工作的巧妙的处理。

【答案】C

【考点】事实细节题。

【分析】通过“Human ingenuity”和“initially”可以定位到第一段开始。“从人类产生智慧初期至今，人们一直在设计越来越巧妙的工具来应付那些危险的、枯燥的、繁重的或者直接就是肮脏的工作。”由于讲的是人类最初的创造力，因此可以排除[A]、[B]、[D]。

27.The word“gizmos" (Line 1,Paragraph2)most probably means

单词“gizmos”(第二段第一行)最有可能的意思是

[A]programs.程序。[B]experts.专家。

[C]devices.设备。[D]creatures.生物。

【答案】C

【考点】词义题。

【分析】本题虽然考查的是词义，但是显然不是希望考生通过储备更大的词汇来回答，而是希望考生能够利用文中出现的细节来推断这个单词的意思。第二段第一句的意思说“由此引起的结果是，现代世界已经充斥着越来越多的智能 ____ ，尽管我们几乎都注意不到它们，但它们的普遍存在却节省了许多人类劳力。”然后作者提及到了“工厂机械手”、“自动柜员机”以及“机器人驾驶员”等等。由此我们可以认定这些设施都是对“gizmo”的例举和解释。而这几样东西具有一个共同的特征，即它们都是“工具”。相比四个选项，只有[C]最合适。

28.According to the text,what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot that can

根据本文，现在超越人类能力范围的是设计一种能________的机器人。

[A]fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery.

完成诸如脑手术这样的精细的工作。

[B]interact with human beings verbally.

与人类进行口头交流。

[C]have a little common sense.

有一些常识。

[D]respond independently to a changing world.

对一个变化的世界独立应付。

【答案】D

【考点】事实细节题。

【分析】根据“超越人类能力”这个关键信息，我们可以定位到第三段中“Dave Lavery”的第二句话，即“we can’t yet give a robot enough‘common sense’to reliably interact with a dynamic world”。因为该句中的“dynamic”就是“动态的、变化的”意思，因此我们可以判定答案[D]是正确的。[A]文中已经提及。[B]的例子就是“自动柜员机”。[C]可以在第三段最后一句“我们不能给他足够的常识”中找到被排除的依据。

29.Besides recing human labor,robots can also

除了减少人类劳动，机器人还能够

[A]make a few decisions for themselves.为自己做几个决策。

[B]deal with some errors with human intervention.通过人类干预处理一些错误。

[C]improve factory environments.改善工厂环境。

[D]cultivate human creativity.培养人的创造性。

【答案】B

【考点】事实细节题。

【分析】本题要求考生寻找机器人还能够从事什么工作，这就需要对四个选项进行比较。寻找答案。[A]提到机器人能够为自己做几个决策，通过“decision”这个单词可以定位到第三段第一句话“但是如果机器人要进入节省劳力的下一个阶段，他们必须能够在更少的人工监控下运行，并且至少能够独立地做一些决定”，这句话表明，目前机器人还不能独立做一些决定。[B]的意思符合第三段第三句，“虽然我们知道如何让机器人去纠正一个特定的错误”。至于[C]，文中提到机器人是受环境控制的，而不是反之。[D]的说法也反了。

30.The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are

作者使用猴子的例子，为的是说机器人

[A]expected to human brain in internal structure.

被期望复制人脑内部结构。

[B]able to perceive abnormalities immediately.

能够立即觉察到不正常情况。

[C]far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information.

在聚焦相关信息方面远远不如人类。

[D]best used in a controlled environment.

最适合在受控环境下使用。

【答案】C

【考点】作者意图题。

【分析】作者最后一段提到“猴子”这个例子，是考查文章最后一段的理解。由于文章举这个例子就是为了说明计算机虽然功能强大，但是仍然无法和人脑的复杂性相比，因为人脑看一眼迅速变化的场景就能够迅速的排除不相干的信息，立即把注意力集中到蜿蜒的森林小路边的一只猴子，这一点计算机是做不到的。因此，可以判断[C]正确。

初三英语阅读理解【1】

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

What to do

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

What to wear

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

_______________

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

初三英语阅读理解【2】

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.

Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (犹豫).

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Oh yes, I’d love that.”

After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

1. The street urchin was very surprised when ________.

A. Paul told him about the car

B. he was walking around the car

C. he saw the shining car

2. From the story we can see the urchin ________.

初三英语阅读理解【3】

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.

“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.

I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
