两年阅读理解考得最多的文体是“说明文”，其次为“记叙文”，再次为“应用文”，而“议论文”

则没有涉及。在“三新（新课标新教材新高考）”背景下，2023年是否要考“议论文”体裁的阅读理解，我

们将拭目以待。

从上述统计来看，说明文体裁今后仍将是高考阅读理解的主打体裁。最近几年，说明文的命题变化

不大，•直很稳定，其选材通常是各学科的前沿问题：科技领域的最新科研成果（介绍最新科技、重大成

就、新产品、新工艺等）；人们比较关心的社会问题和令人好奇的自然现象；以及人文地理、风土人情等

说明文体裁阅读理解题的考查四种题型都有可能涉及到：细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题和

词义猜测题。其中以细节理解题和推理判断题为主:。

热点解读

说明文是对事物或事理进行客观说明的一种文体，它以说明为主要表达方式，通过解说事物或阐明

事理，达到教人以知识的目的，在结构上看，说明文总体结构通常分为三个部分：说明对象、说明过程

和归纳总结；从段落组织方式上分，常见的有以下五种结构：总分式结构（总一分一总；总一分；分一总）；

并列式结构（段落之间是平行关系，并且相对独立）：对照式结构（结构形式是“一正一反”）；递进式结构（文

章各部分内容形成一层更进一层的形式）；连贯式结构（说明的各层次之间是按照事物发张过程来安排层次,

前后互相承接）。

说明文的特点是客观、简练、语言准确、明了，文章很少表达作者的感情倾向。阅读说明文的重点

在于读懂它说明的事物或事理，了解事物的性质、构造、成因、功能等，了解事理的含意、特点等。

说明文常见的说明方法有：定义与诠释、举例与引用、分类与图表、比较与比喻和分析与综合等。

了解说明文的写作手法、说明方法，理清文章结构是解题的关键之一。

1满分技巧

1.快速浏览——整体把握说明对象

如果文章有标题那首先就要抓住文章的标题明确说明对象或是关注文章主题句、各段首末句明确说明

对象；其次可抓住文章的结构归纳说明对象。一般说明文往往都会围绕一个主要问题或内容进行说明，

而有的说明文则需要我们把小说明点归纳起来，构成全文的说明对象。

2.先题再文——精准定位重点解读

在对文章进行快速浏览之后，带着题干再读全文。阅读时做到有的放矢、有所侧重：明确说明对象、

把握说明顺序、理清（段落间的）逻辑联系和把握作者态度。边读边将考查内容（主要是细节理解题和推理

判断题）在原文中定位，然后重点解读定位的几个片段。

3.高效解读——破长难句解重难词

说明文的词汇和句式的运用较别的体裁的文章难度更大。如何高效解读关键在于破解长难句、解读重

难词（包括生词和词块）的意义。

破解长难句：学会运用括号法分析长难句，把影响考生理解的各种从句、非谓语动词短语以及复杂介

词短语括起来，从而达到“去枝叶，留主干”的目的，进而准确理解句子含义。

解读生词义：说明文中的词汇运用灵活，同一词的不同词性的用法交替出现，未列入考纲的生词较多，

通常达到了4-5%都对考生的理解造成了极大的障碍。不过考生可以通过说明文的语言特点来帮助解读生

词义。例如可以利用原文中的“下定义、解释、举例、同义词、反义词、上下义词以及标点符号（如破折

号、冒号都有表示解释和说明）”等方法来解读生词义。另外考生要学会作出适当的放弃：无关大局的生

僻词汇阅读中经常会遇到一些生词，如果这些生词对理解全文没有影响或影响不大就可略过。比如有许

多较长的表示人名、地名等的专有名词，阅读时可一扫而过或干脆用其首字母代替，不必试图把整个专

有名词解读出来。
