高考英语阅读理解技巧练习——议论文的阅读技巧和方法

1、高考英语阅读理解技巧练习议论文的阅读技巧和方法高考英语阅读理解的分值高达45分几乎占了整套试卷的三分之一。近几年高考阅读理解的阅读量呈逐渐扩大趋势，选项词量增加的幅度大于短文词量增加的幅度，且阅读速度进一步提高，整卷的考查重点是阅读材料，而阅读理解重点检测我们的语篇领悟能力，将测试的基本点定于语篇分析选材多样，突出实际运用，内容贴近生活，寓于交际，具有很强的思想性、时代性和实用性，涉及了社会文化、教育、科普、日常生活各个领域。下面谈谈高考试题中的议论文的阅读技巧、方法议论文，有论点，有事实。作者往往根据一些很普通的事实，通过严谨的思维，缜密的推理得出一个具有普遍性或指导性的观点。该类文章逻辑性

2、强，命题往往从事实的有关细节以及文章的主旨或作者的表达意图等方面着手，考查我们的思维能力和判定能力。英语文章讲究使用主题段或主题句。主题段通常在文章开头，简要概括文章的中心思想，主题句可能在一段的开头交待该段的中心意思，再由全段展开或讨论这个意思。主题句也可能在中间或末尾，由全段展开讨论后归纳总结出来。段与段之间常用词语连接，承上启下，使文章行文连贯，为了深化主题，作者可能用许多方法来写。议论文的阅读和其它体裁的文章阅读一样，可以有以下几种出题方式：1。主旨大意；2。细节理解；3。推理判定等；4。词义理解。1主旨大意题。主旨大意题是专门检查对短文整体理解程度的。每篇文章都有主题句表明其主题(中

3、心)思想。常见的问题有：(1) From the passage we know that _.(2) The best title of the passage should be _.(3) The main idea of the Paragraph is to _.(4) The main purpose of the passage is to _.(5) Which of the following best describes the main point of the passage?在回答此类问题时，要找出文章的主题句，这些主题句经常在短文的开头或结尾处，在这两个地方很轻易找

4、到它们。那些错误的答案干扰项有的太笼统，有的则太具体，片面，不能恰当地反映短文的中心思想。2细节理解题。细节题主要是检查与主题思想有关的细节。常见的问题形式有：(1) According to the passage, the author mentions _.(2) Which of the following does the author discuss?(3) Choose the right order of the events.细节问题询问的是作者说了些什么，其答案在本文中已明确表述过，此时最好的办法就是在文中找出相关的细节，虽然答案中有的细节在文中很清楚，但可能与问题无关。假

5、如问题采用的是反向思维，题中含有not 或except等表示否定意义的词，则要更加留意。3推理判定题。推理判定题主要是提问那些在文中未说明，但已特殊暗示的内容。题目的要求常是这样的：(1) This article is particularly written for _.(2) The writer is trying to tell us _.(3) When the writer says-, he really means _.(4) The writer regards -as _.(5) The writers attitude toward -is _.做推理判定题时，要透过字

6、里行间把握文章的真正内涵，客观地反映文章的思想，克服主观臆想。特殊留意那些最能反映句子之间，段落之间的逻辑关系的连词。深刻而正确地把握文章 的重点内容。4词义理解题。英语词语的词意非常丰富，语境不同，词意也不同，要专心揣摩在上下文中的含义。常见的问题形式有：(1) The author uses the word “” to mean _.(2) According to the passage , “” probably means _(3) The word “” in paragraph - refers to _.(4) The underlined word “” means _.(

7、5) The underlined phrase “” means _.词义理解题中的词往往一词多义，可以采用利用上下文中说话者的语气推测其意义；在特定的语境中，进行逻辑推理的方式也可以获得合理的信息。总之，上述关于议论文阅读理解的方法与技巧看起来挺费时，但事实上相反，只要我们平时练习时多加留意，形成习惯，这种方法则会成为我们阅读理解最省时，最可靠的一种。第一组Text AHONG KONG-Students from Hong Kong and Taiwan are clamoring(喧闹) for places in mainland universities following Chi
