英语阅读理解

★清华大学★英语系测试:为中小学生英语量身定做.

官方网站:http:"/

清华大学英语教授研究组提供

阅读理解

阅读理解是全面考查考生语言知识和综合运用语言的能力,

在试卷中信息量大、分值高,是中考试卷中的一个重要题型。河

南省中招考试说明中对阅读理解题做了明确的要求:本题有四篇

短文:体裁有故事、说明文(历史、地理、风俗、文化、人物传

记等1应用文体(时间表、菜单、广告等)及科普文章。试题

设计以考查学生获取信息、处理信息的能力以及分析问题和解决

问题的能力为主。

一、阅读理解题目考查的要点:

(1)考查对短文各个事实和细节的理解,一般涉及文章的

"5W",即:when、where、who、what、how等内容,包

括事实识别、有关的计算或识图、排列次序等。

(2)考查对文章词义的理解。

(3)考查对短文深层结构的理解,包括对文章主题的理解,对

文章中心大意的理解,对作者意图或人物观点的理解以及从文章

内容中可推断得出的结论等。

二、阅读理解题解题技巧

(1)要养成良好的阅读习惯。不管文章的是什么体裁,考生都

要先快速通读一、两遍全文。要默读,弄懂文章大意,要特别注

意年代、年龄、钟点等数字信息。凡涉及数字的题,一般要经过

简单的计算才能得出答案。

(2)在基本掌握大意的基础上,针对所设置的问题和选项,再

逐字逐句阅读,以便发现所需的和解题有关的信息,搞清说的是

谁,讲的是什么事;涉及谁,哪些物;事情发生的地点、原因、

时间等,这些问题搞清楚了,一些试题答案也就迎刃而解了。有

的试题需要进行逻辑推理,要求考生根据常识、知识判断和情节

推理。

(3)通过上述信息不能解答的题,需要进一步阅读有关的语句,

弄清确切的意思,选出正确答案。

(4)答案确定后,再细心复读一遍短文,核对所选答案是否正

确。

三、做阅读理解题的步骤

(1)审读标题。如果短文试题中有标题,考生一定要把标题默

念一两遍,因为标题是文章主题的高度凝聚。这样做有利于考生

对文章的理解,提高做题的效率。

(2)快速浏览全文,掌握文章大意。考生要尽快把文章阅读一

遍,尽量排除生词和个别难句的干扰,可以跳过它们继续读下去,

努力抓住文章大意。

(3)细读文后题目,审视出题意图。在读完短文后,带着对短

文的印象,认真阅读题干和选项,对能够得出的答案可以进行初

步判断,难题暂时留下。

(4)细读文章,掌握短文细节内容。

(5)初选答案。

(6)复读文章,核对答案。

本篇文章是楼门剧院(BarbicanThreatre)的广告。通过快速

阅读,我们从广告中初步得知三部戏剧的演出时间及演出票的售

出价格等信息。

第1题选D。从文中ADreamPlay5月29日至6月2日

的开演时间,除5月29日是晚上7点外,其余都是晚上7:15。

第题选月日(除去

2DeBarbicanThreatre660—17

6月10、11、12、15这四天)期间上映SwanLake和TripleBill

两部大剧。SwanLake在6月6、7、8、9、16这五天的上映

时间为晚上7:45。6月17日演出时间为下午5点钟。通过用

排除法我们得知所给出的去观看该剧的四个时间只有D是正确。

第3题选B。根据广告中得知TripleBill的上映时间为6月

13日、14日这两天的晚上7:45。在这个时间没有其它剧目上

演。

第4题选A。观众如果有BarbicanCard,将有部分购票优惠:

正确答案应是

Firstnightticketsfor£12eachoAo

第5题选A。这是一道推理题。广告中说明平日(除星期日

与星期六以外的日子)购买TripleBill演出票的三个价位为

£24、£19、£15,最便宜的票价是£15。三人最便宜的票款

应付£45。特别说明的是,遇到计算题,考生一定要动手仔细演

算,切勿大意失分。
