（绝对精品文档，价值很高，值得下载打印练习）

阅读理解题主要考查学生的语篇的阅读、分析和判断能力。要求学生能较快地通过阅

读，理解短文大意，获取其中的主要信息，能做出正确判断，然后根据试题的要求从A、

B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案或做出正误判断。阅读理解部分的短文题材非常丰

富，涉及人物传记、政治经济、天文史地、社会文化、科普小品、风土人情、幽默故事及

日常生活的各个方面。试题往往就短文中容易误解和忽略之处灵活地提出问题，所用的句

型和词语也往往不同于短文中相应部分的句型和词语。因此，同学们应该对讲英语国家的

风土人情及历史发展有一定的了解，同时对科普、科幻、天文、地理等都要有所了解；还

必须经常进行大量的各种体裁、各种风格的课外阅读，逐步加快阅读速度，不断增强阅读

技巧。

一、阅读策略与方法：

1.略读：通过整体粗读，领略内容大意，帮助理解，为细读作准备。

2.跳读：寻找所需信息，如年代、数字、人名、地名等，把握住关键词，利用语法过

渡词，语气转折词及时态等，抓住文章脉络。

3.细读：分段细读，注意细节，注意语言结构，处理语言点，抓住主要事实和关键信

息，揭示文章结构的内在联系，帮助深化理解。

4,推读：推测未直接写明的含义、因果关系以及词义猜测。对学生在自学过程中遇

到的新的单词、表达法或语法，要学会根据上下文进行猜测，这样既提高了阅读速度又形

成了一种能力，这也是英语阅读的关键所在。

5.概读：从每篇标题，到各个部分都进行概读、以归纳出要点，概括作者的主旨、意

图、观点、态度，这样就能了解全文的概貌。

二、选择型阅读解题技巧：

先读问题，后找答案。

细节理解题关注wh-词，避免误读。

大写字母有玄机（时间、地点、人物）

大胆预测，仔细求证。

快速且有重点地浏览全文；把注意力集中于主题句的关键词

语上，必要时选择在重要词句下面画线标注；从整体上把握

选

主旨大意题文章的结构、逻辑关系、问题的指向等。

择

选择标题时，避繁就简，避泛求实。

型

推断写作意图时，站在作者的立场考虑，而非自己的观点。

阅

巧抓关键词语。

读

重视转折连词。

词义猜测题

注意因果连词。

理解概念术语。

留意作者的语气和态度。

留心特定细节：包括事实根据、名字（人物或地点）、数字（日

推理判断题期或统计数字）、关键词语的其他表达方式（同义词、近义词、

反义词等）。

注意文章的体裁和出处。

三、阅读理解答题注意点：

1.忌不带问题阅读。要先看题干，弄清题目要求，带着问题有目的地进衍阅读，这样

就能把握方向，同时也可边阅读边选出考查表层情况问题的答案，提高阅读效率及答题的

正确性。

2.忌一个词一个词割裂地理解，或将无关的词硬凑在一起理解，以致无法获取句子语

义及特定语境中篇章的意义，造成信息流中断，曲解或偏离题意。

3.抓关键句和主题句。文章的第一句或最后一句往往是文章或段落的关键句或主题

句，对文章的理解起着重要的作用；同时要学会正确猜测词义，有机地联系上下文，读了

上文，猜测下文，不要逐词翻译，造成前后脱节，缺乏语感，以至于理解错误。

4.完成选择时，看其是否与文中内容相矛盾，有无文中信息支持点，再有就是看它是

否完全符合题目的要求；如果让你判断文章标题的话，要看文章表达的是人还是事，从而

推断其标题内容。所有的选项必须以文章为基础，不要随意发挥想象或联想。

3.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleofthestory?

A.TheWheelontheWallB.AnExcellentBuy

C.OldorNew-WhoKnowsD.theFamily*sPast

答案：1.B2.D3.A

【解析】短文大意：托尼“收藏”着一个特殊的航轮，并把它挂在自己的酒馆里，作为酒馆

的一部分。这个航轮对于伯爵一家也有特殊含义：他的祖父本杰明伯爵就是坐着有这个航

轮的HMS去的美国。后来伯爵劝托尼把航轮卖给了伯爵。于是，托尼有了自己的车……

并且，托尼找朋友造了同样的几个航轮。

1.B推理判断题。题意：为什么开始托尼拒绝卖航轮？A.Becausehethoughtitwasold

andpartofthepub'spast.因为他认为它古老而且是酒馆的一部分；B.Becausehewantedto

showitwasimportanttohispub.因为他想显示出它对他的酒馆的重要；C.Becausehetriedto

sellittosomeoneelseatahigherprice.因为他尽力以更高的价格卖给别人；D.Becausehe

didnotreallybelievewhatEarlhadtoldhim.因为他不相信伯爵给他说的话。从第3自然段最

后一句"Afterall,thewheelwasveryoldanditwaspartofthepub'spast."（毕竟,航轮很古

老，而且是酒馆的一部分），可以推测出，航轮对酒馆有特殊的意义。故选B。

2.D推理判断题。题意：从故事中我们可以推断出什么？A.Earlhadlookedforsucha

wheelforalongtimebeforethat.伯爵找那样的航轮找了很久了；B.Earlwouldsoonfind

outthetruthandbecomeratherangry.伯爵很快会查清事实并且非常生气；C.Tonyhadsold

quiteafewwheelslikethatandgotwealthy.托尼卖过很多像那样的航轮并且变富了；D.

Tonywouldplaythesametrickagaintomakemoremoney.托尼还会干同样的事并且挣更多

的钱。由短文最后一自然段可知，托尼找朋友另造了同样的六个航轮，并且己经把其中一

个挂在了酒馆里；他自己是这样认为的：即使一百年后，也没有人分清旧车轮和新车轮有

什么不同。由此可以推测出，托尼在造假，故选D。

3.A题目推断题。题意：下面哪一个是故事最好的标题？A.TheWheelontheWall墙

上的航轮；B.AnExcellentBuy-次极好的购买；C.OldorNew-WhoKnows旧的新的，谁

知道？D.IheFamily'sPast家的过去。本文讲的是酒馆墙上的航轮，酒馆老板借此敛财，与

航轮相关的人们做着非常认真的事。故本文最好标题是A。
