where why和how 等开头的特殊疑问句 2 是非判断形式 true false notright true false或except 3 以accordingto开头的句子 4 以填空形式出现的句子 ifyouwerehim youwould 5 文章数字的运算 人名 地名 时间的查找 故事情节的排序 图表的辨析等 解题技巧 1 带着问题直接在文章中查找有关信息 最好用笔标出来 以便比较使用 不必通读全文 2 做数据计算题关键要弄清楚数据间的逻辑关系 选准数据 确定计算方法 3 对于简单的数据 可以利用推算法 较复杂的数据可以分门别类地列出 化模糊为清晰 4 排序先找出故事发生的首尾 然后缩小范围 5 图表利用判断法与文字叙述相对照 推理判断题常见设题形式 1 fromthisposassagewecaninferthat 2

fromthesecondparagraphwecaninferthat 解题技巧 1 抓关键词 分辨因果 对比 2 若答案中所给选项有三个是文章中表述明确而不需要推理的 都不选 应该选不是文章明确阐述的 是归纳总结 推断的选项 3 若答案中都不是表述明确的 就利用排除法 分别与文章有关内容对照 排除不正确的选项 注意 1 要根据文章信息推断 而不是根据自己的常识推断 2 要符合西方人的风俗习惯 要突破定式思维方式 多从不同的角度分析 主旨归纳题常见设题形式 1 thesubjectofthispassageis 2 whattopicistreatedinthispassage 3 themainideais 4 thepointofthispassageisthat 5 whichtitlebestgivestheideaofthepassage 6 what sthetopicofthelastparagraph 7 what sthemainpointthewriteristryingtomakeinthispassage 8 thepassagemainlytalksabout 9 bythispassagethewriterwantedtotellusthat 10 thebesttitleforthistextwouldbe 解题技巧 1 在文章第一段找出主题句 通常是第一个句子或最后一个句子 根据主题句的关键词缩写精练的句子或短语 2 如果第一段没有主题句 就在文章最后一段 最后一段找不到或许在文章第二段中 3 如果全篇文章中找不到主题句 根据自己对文章的理解归纳总结 注意 1 要找出产生某种结果的直接原因 而不是间接原因 2 要全面而不是你个人的观点 词义句意猜测题常见设题形式 1

解题技巧 1 在划线词 短语或句子的前一个句意上理解 或本句 或后句 常有一个与之意义相近 相同或相反的词或短语 其标志词有 and or等 2 掌握该词的派生词 合成词的含义 3 通过定语 从句 同位语 从句 的含义推测单词的含义 此时定语 同位语前常常有 or similarly thatis tosay inotherwords namely orother say等 而定语从句和同位语从句的谓语动词常是 be mean dealwith becalled referto signify beconsideredtobe represent define等词 4 看一看句中是否有though although still insteadof ratherthan while but ontheotherhand unlike foronething foranother等表转折的词 5 根据自己的理解 参考所给答案 可利用排除法 选出正确选项 注意 切不可望词生义 考纲上的常用词在此常不是它的常用词义 要根据意境来理解 观点态度题常见设题形式 1 theauthor sattitudetowards is 2 thewriterthoughtthat 3 theauthorgivestheimpressionthat 4 whatdoyouthinktheauthor sattitudeto is 5 whatisthetoneofthepassage 6 whichofthefollowingcanbebestdescribedas 7 howdoyousupposethewriterfeelabout 8 theauthortriedtotellusthat 9 thewriterbelieves implies suggeststhat 10 whatistheauthor sviewtowards 解题技巧 1 找出文章中的形容词 副词 分清它们是褒义还是贬义 2 通过作者引用某人话语的态度语气以及情感词等来判断 3 结合自己对说英语的国家的风俗习惯 文化传统等背景知识的了解来判断 注意 1 不要将文章中的论述或叙述的个别内容与作者的观点 态度相混淆 2 切记是作者的态度 而不是读者自己的态度 计算视图题常见设题形式 1 accordingtothepassagetheoutputofthecompanylastyearwas 2 heworkedinthebigcompanyforyearsbeforemovingtochina 3

whichofthefollowingpicturescorrectlyshowshowtheexperimentisdone 6 chooseonepicturethatshows describedinthepassage 解题技巧 1 计算题要找出有关的数据 确定一个为基点 然后作相应的计算 2 利用查阅法 在文章中直接查找有关信息或数据 然后与图表相对比 3 理解图表下面的文字说明 对应文章的有关内容 判断选择 注意 不要漏掉任何信息 特别是视图题 角角落落的信息都可能是重要的 逻辑结构题常见设题形式 1 howdoesthispassagedevelop 2 howdoyouthinkthistextdevelopsinorderof 3 theconstructionofthispassageis 4 theformofthistext youthink is 5 theauthorwrotethispassageby 6 thestyleofthistextis 解题技巧 1 分析文章每一段之间的关系 因果表述的前后 叙事的顺序 观点的论说 2 划出文章中描述类的词语 分析其写作目的 讽刺挖苦 歌功颂德等 注意 文章的逻辑结构强调的是构成文章的顺序 而不是文章要素 文后段落讨论题常见设题形式 1

butthepracticeseemstohavebecometoowiderangingandfeelsimproperintoday sofficesetting thankyouforunderstanding thisisbasicallyaletterof a apologyb sympathyc appreciationd dissatisfaction 仅根据选文第一段中的内容很容易误选c项 因为本段都是赞美之词 若只注意最后一段的内容 容易误选a项 认为是在恳请对方谅解 选文第二段叙述的是随礼人和收礼人的尴尬 假如把注意力集中在这一段 容易误选b项 上述错误都是因为过于纠缠文章中的细节 从而忽视了文章的主题造成的 解题探究 d作者在第一段首先赞美对方 然后指出随礼现象给随礼人和收礼人带来的不便 接着指出虽然这是善意的表示 但是涉及的范围太广 让人感觉有些不妥 最后恳请对方理解 由此可见作者是在抱怨办公室中的随礼现象 对此感到不满 所以d项才是作者所要表达的真正情感 近几年的高考阅读理解试题越来越倾向于从语篇的角度进行考查 考生在做题过程中也要相应地从局部思维转变为整体思维 要从整体上把握文章的大意 不可过于纠缠细节 利用文章中涉及的细节内容干扰段落大意或者文章的主题是命题人常采用的干扰方式 考生不可被其迷惑 遇到主旨大意或者是标题选择之类的试题 切忌只见树木 不见森林 逻辑臆断易错点 2008 天津 b mostofthepeopleworkinginthecharityhopsarevolunteers althoughthereisoftenamanagerwhogetspaid over90 ofthegoodsinthecharityshopsaredonatedbythepublic

thestaffareusuallywellpaid c 90 ofthedonationsaresecond hand d theyareopentwenty fourhoursaday 假如选择b项 考生是犯了主观臆断的错误 因为文章中没有涉及慈善商店中员工的报酬问题 选文第一段第二句的意思是说商店中90 以上的物品都是公众捐赠的 而不是说90 的捐赠物品都是二手货 所以c项错误 文章中没有提到慈善商店24小时都在营业 因此d项属于主观臆断错误 解题探究 a选文第二段第一句开门见山地指出慈善商店的经营成本很低 因为所有的利润都用于慈善事业 下文则具体解释了资金的花费情况 根据本段第一句可判断a项是正确答案 考生做阅读理解试题时的唯一依据就是原文 所有的判断都应围绕原文进行 每篇短文都是完整的语篇 上下文之间的逻辑关系非常紧密 做此类题时 考生需要通过上下文之间的逻辑关系揣测作者所要表达的真正意图 混淆题干易错点 2008 北京 b modern dayhorsebreedscomeinawidevarietyofshapesandsizes thisvarietydidn texistinthehorsepopulationbeforedomestica tion

somehorseshavebettershapesthanothersd horseswereoflessvarietybeforedomestica tion 选项a是文章中涉及的细节内容 而不是作者所要表达的真正意图 b c项在文章中都没有信息支持 解题探究 d选文第一段第一句提到现代马的形体和大小各种各样 第二句提到这种多样性在马被驯养之前并不存在 前两句是本段的中心句 由此可推断作者举例的目的是为了说明马在被驯养之前种类没有当今繁多 在做阅读理解试题的过程中 一定要看清楚题干 即所问的问题是什么 切忌答非所问 更改原句词汇 偷换概念 变换时态以及因果颠倒是命题人经常采用的干扰方法 由于选项不是照抄原文中的句子 而是用其同义句进行表达 考生一定要仔细对照原文 做出正确判断 忽视上下文语境易错点 2008 安徽 d
