一、速读全文，了解大意知主题，

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在

卜分有限的时间内运用略读、扫咬、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺

序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案：而主观判断题考查的是对

文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。

其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息

进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题，

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，

研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态麦，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖

掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer,imply,suggest,

indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎，

猜词是应用英语的垂耍能力，它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，

掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因

果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

8〜11.【答案】D、D、A、B

【解析】（1）词句猜测题。由文章第二段

butmorewerejust___.GeologistJimBerklandcountednewspaperadslookingforrunawaycatsanddo

家吉姆•伯克.二统计了报纸上寻找离家出走的猫和狗的广告。）划线词前半句Researchershave

reviewedhundredsofreportsonpre-quakeabnormalanimalbehaviors,（研究人员查阅了数百份关于

地震前动物异常行为的报告。）和转折词but可知，这些地震前动物异常行为的报告是传闻，即”

未经证实的报告"。A.Reablifenewsstories.真实的新闻故事:B.Randomindividualstudies.随机

个体研究；C.Repeatedscientificreports.重复的科学报告：D.Unprovedpersonalaccounts.未经证

实的个人报告。故选D。

（2）细节理解题。由文章第二段ButthescientificcommunitystillrejectedBerkland'stheoryf.Hedidn't

documenteveryprediction,sonobodycouldmeasurehisaccuracyrate.（但是科学界仍然拒绝接受伯

克兰的理论。他没有记录每一个预测，所以没有人能衡量他的准确率。）可知，伯克兰的理论被

科学界拒绝，是因为他没能证明自己预测的准确性。故选D.

（3）细节理解题。由文章第四段Onegroupofresearchersislookingforpossibleconnectionsbetween

animalbehaviorandearthquakes.Iftheyfindareliableconnection,thiscouldsavehundredsofthousands

ofhumanlives.ICARUSaimstopoweranappthatwillgivepeoplehourstogettosafety.（一组研究人

员正在寻找动物行为和地震之间的可能联系。如果他们找到可靠的联系，这将挽救成千上万人的

生命。ICARUS旨在为一款应用程序提供动力，让人们在几小时内到达安全地带。）可知，ICARUS

项目的最终目标是提供准确的震前预警。故选A。

（4）观点态度题。由文章最后一段However,noteveryoneishopeful.GeologistWendyBohonsaidthat

ICARUSisdoingsome"coolthings,"butsheknowsanimalbehaviorishardtopindown."Mycatcould

actcrazybeforeanearthquake,"shesays."Butitalsoactscrazyifsomebodyuses（hecanopener."（然

而，并非所有人都抱有希望。地质学家温迪•博汉说，ICARUS正在做一些“很酷的事情”，但她知

道动物行为很难确定。”我的猫在地震前会表现得很疯狂，“她说。"但如果有人用开罐器，也会显

得很疯狂。可推断，温迪•博汉对ICARUS项目表示怀疑。故选B。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主耍介绍了研究人员对地震前动物异常行为的研究，希望提供准确的震

前预警。

阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有

标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料：

其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，

带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找,捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强

的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，

才能做到稳.、准。

12〜15.【答案】D、C、B、D

【解析】（I）细节理解题。由文章第一段中

小麦的样子。故选D。

艺术史学家Vergauwen却有不同的看法。"不，这是那个时代最好的画家之一。所以如果他把它画

成那样，那它肯定就是这样的。”他解释道。）可知他们对一幅古画有不同的看法激发了研究团队

开始他们的研究。故选C。

<3）段落大意题。由文章最后一段Ultimately,
