2008湖南高考英语阅读理解

1、,2008湖南高考英语 阅读理解,第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 选择题（共17小题，每小题2分，满分34分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A. B C D 第二节 简答题（共3小题，每小题2分， 满分6分） 阅读下面短文，根据第73至75小题的具体要求，简单回答问题。,2008年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(湖南卷) 英 语,本年度的五篇阅读理解短文概述: Passage A（291词）为图书馆开展学生假期读书活动的推销广告，开展四项有意义的文化活动以吸引孩子; Passage B（368词） 介绍时尚人物, 现代年轻建筑师Yocu

2、m和Bell通过自己的创造性劳动, 把别人废弃的建筑变成了自己梦想的实用工作场所，可谓物尽其用; Passage C（331词） 人文科学研究报告：人的情感有内部和外部两种表现, 而且是象感冒一样相互传染的. 积极情感相互影响大，消极情感相互影响小； Passage D（360词） 现代名人时尚评论：以前的名人商业效应是为他人做广告，现代名人是开发自己的产品； 简答题Passage (339）为现代冰雕赛事记叙文。冰雕作品的评价内容是: 创意性、技能技巧和视觉效果三个方面。 5个语篇，不同体裁，不同题材。阅读面广，但都在所有中学生所熟悉的范围内，没有只哪类学生才比较熟悉的不公平问题，体现了以人

3、为本的原则。题目的不同形式考查了考生理解主旨和要义、具体细节、根据上下文推断生词词义、判断和推理、作者意图观点和态度等。既考查了学生对各类题材和体裁的英语阅读，又注意了英语阅读微技能的全面性。,从电脑字数统计情况看，文章累计词数1680个，题目词数720, 阅读理解题总词数2400。其阅读速度为：24003569个词分(06和07两年都为72词/分)。从数字上看，这个速度高于高考英语科设定的基本要求65词/分，低于教学大纲的要求70-80词分。但是教学大纲的要求与高考考试说明的要求是有质的区别的：中学生平时的阅读是在具体目的不甚明确、没有太大外界压力的情况下进行的，采取的阅读方法基本为略读（s

4、kimming），也就是迅速阅读文章，以了解其主旨要义、作者态度等。而高考中的阅读活动则并非如此，考生既需要略读，以获取一些整体性信息；也需要查读（scanning），以获取所需的细节性信息。另外，考生还需要一些时间考虑试题的解答。因此，考生在考场中的实际阅读速度必须大于69词分。 所选文章的结构紧密完整，内容丰富。语言地道、原汁原味, 句型灵活多变, 复杂难句比较多，词汇量大。出现了一些影响题目解答的新课标词汇，如abandon, delicate, sympathize.。对学生通过构词手段猜测生词的能力有很高的要求，如unrealistic, accordingly, misstep,
