2、篇阅读材料组成。阅读材料共长1800个单词左右，每篇材料后各有3-6道题不等。学生根据所读材料内容，从每题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。共20题。,二、阅读理解考查目标 在于培养学生的英语阅读理解能力和提高学生的阅读速度；培养学生细致观察语言的能力以及假设判断、分析归纳、推理检验等逻辑思维能力；提高学生的阅读技能，包括细读、略读等能力；并通过阅读训练帮助学生扩大词汇量、吸收语言和文化背景知识。 考试要求在理解的基础上抓住要点，并能运用正确观点评价思想内容。阅读速度为每分钟120-180个单词，理解准确率不低于70%。能在5分钟内速读1000词左右中等难度的文章，掌握文章的大意。,提高阅读能力的

3、重要途径在于扩大词汇量？,四级阅读是一个语言能力、逻辑思维能力、文化知识积淀和阅读技巧的解读理解过程，并不是只靠扩大词汇量能解决的。,扩大词汇量-基础； 运用语法-分析句子成分，正确理解句子含义； 提高自己的分析、逻辑推理能力； 同时大量了解文化背景知识。,三、阅读理解题型、题材和语篇体裁分析 阅读理解有4篇文章，共20道选择题，主要题型包括：主旨大意题、细节理解题、分析推理题、观点态度题、词汇语义题。 其中细节题和推理题是主要题型，考试中要求学生在短时间内运用一定的阅读策略把握全文才能得出正确答案。因此，考生应该在练习时，注重这两种题型的训练。,三、阅读理解题型、题材和语篇体裁分析 所选阅读

4、材料的题材广泛，主要包括：社会生活、科技、地理与历史、政治与经济、环境保护、教育与文化、自然现象、健康与医疗、日常生活知识、人物描写等。 体裁以议论文和说明文为主，兼有部分记叙文和描写。阅读理解除了对学生语言能力有较高的要求外，对文化背景等知识层面的要求也很高。,四、近五年阅读理解试题归类,五、阅读理解解题步骤,先看题目，还是先看文章？ 有的考生在做阅读理解题的时候，喜欢先看题目后读文章。他们认为这样会节省时间。 实际上： 浪费时间。 不能集中注意力。 影响对文章整体的理解。,1阅读文章开头几句时，要联想一下文章的大意：文章是关于什么内容、写的谁、谈论什么事物等。 2继续阅读文章时，要识别出文

5、章的文体，即是科普文章、文学作品，还是新闻报道或是别的；同时要识别出作者的写作手法，文章是写给谁看的，作者是带着一种什么样的感情写这篇文章的。,3.在读完文章一遍后，你会对文章的主题和文章的结构有了一定的印象，但是为了准确起见，在你回答问题的时候，一定要回过头来再看一遍文章，以确认你的答案。不要根据自己第一遍阅读时的印象答题，也不要根据自己所掌握的文章以外的知识答题。 4在阅读题目的时候，要注意一些关键字眼，比如EXCEPT, CANNOT, NOT, INCORRECT等出题者为了引起考生特别注意的大写词。,1.略读全文，掌握大意 有效的阅读是先掌握全局，再寻求细节。 略读（skimming

6、）又称跳读（reading and skipping）或浏览(glancing)，是一种专门而实用的快速阅读方法，主要特点是选择性地阅读。,1.略读全文，掌握大意 拿到一篇500字左右的文章时，应先用30秒左右的时间进行略读，其目的一是：以尽可能快的速度获取文章主旨大意或中心思想；二是辨识文章体裁，掌握结构（如果是记叙文，就需要了解故事发生的时间、地点、背景和人物活动等主要线索；如果是议论文，就要弄清文章的中心论点以及论述内容）。 略读完成后就去看题干，这时有关文章主旨大意题已经有了答案，而对细节题要根据题目的具体要求回到文章中再进行快速扫读以找到相应的信息。,【真题示例】（2009） Now

19、思想、作品的基调以及文章大意的理解和掌握情况。What is this passage mainly (primarily) concerned with?What does the passage mainly discuss?Which is the main idea (subject) of this passage?What is the main topic of the passage?The passage mainly deals with _,六、阅读理解的试题题型分类及解题技巧,【应对策略】主旨大意题有关整个文章的中心思想，需要宏观把握。 拿到一篇文章，先快速浏览文章的开

20、头、结尾及段落的首句和尾句。英语文章大多呈直线走向，所以很多文章的中心思想会出现在文章的开头或结尾，尤其是议论文和说明文；同样，有85%的段落大意会在每一段首句或尾句，15%可能会出现在段落中间。 为了快速得出答案，可用排除法来做。迅速找出某些选项的漏洞或者不确切的地方，缩小选择范围，最后选定答案。,确定下列短文的大意： 1. As a rule, most of my dreams at night are pleasant ones. Recently, though, I had a really bad dream. I was in an alley, dressed in ligh

21、t summer clothing. Coming out of the darkness at the end of the alley were hundreds of large gray rats. Their razor-sharp teeth glistened with saliva, and their eyes glowed red with a cold fury. I turned to run away, but attacking in the other direction were a dozen pit bulls. And these particular p

25、ated from college. So they were not surprised when a florists truck pulled in front of their house. However, they were surprised when they saw that the dozen red roses were addressed to them.

29、is to cover a glass of water with a clean handkerchief and then drink the water through the hankie.

30、试题中细节题占比例较大。 细节题是对文章的理解而言的，题目形式通常表现为正选和反选两种。正选就是要求选出符合文章内容的选项，其他三项都不符合文章意思或推断不出来； 而反选则是选出与文章内容不相符的一项，其他三项都符合文章意思。纵观历年考题，反选题比例更高些。,【真题示例】2006年 For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood cal

31、led and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend

32、me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.,91. At the beginning Miss Eyres impressions of Mr. Rochester were all EXCEPT _.A. busy B. sociable C. friendly D. changeable,3.分析推理题 在许多文章中，作者的意图或态度会隐含在字里行间，这就要求学生综合文章中的线索，以文章表面文字信息为依据进行分析、推理、判断和检验，理解文章的深层意义。对考生来讲，推理题是具有一定难度的题目，考查的不仅

33、是考生对文章的理解能力，还有考生的逻辑思维能力和对各种知识的综合运用能力。在解题时，仅靠捕捉字面信息还是不够的，要把每句话都放到全篇中去考虑以得出综合的判断。该题型常见的提问方式有：,(1) 题目中使用infer一词，明确要求考生进行推理判断。主动、被动语态均有，如：It can be inferred from the passage that _.(2) 题目中用imply一词，要求考生推理得出文章中没有直接表达的内容，也就是含义，如：It is implied in the passage that _. (3) 题目中使用conclude 一词，要求考生根据文章内容得到某种推论，这种形

34、式常常要求推断出总体的印象和含义，常为大意题的一种形式，但主要在于推理和得到相应的结论。如：We can conclude from the passage that the author is _.,(4) 题目中使用suggest 一词，“间接地表示”，如：It suggests that the central problem is relationships between . (5) 题目中使用seem一词，要求我们根据所读的印象回答问题，但不能草率地根据模糊的印象就决定选择答案；而必须根据文章中各种线索进行分析推理。如：The passage seems to indicate a

35、t the end that children _. (6) 题目中用名词impression，这里的“印象”只能通过主观的分析推理得到，如：We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author. (7)题目中用(most) probably, clearly这类词语，表示答案选项为可能的推理，要求学生选出合理的一个，如：The author was most probably _.,A twenty eight year old woman named Catherine Genovese was returning h

36、ome from work one day. Kitty, as she was called by almost everyone in her Queens neighborhood, had just parked her car. Then a man with a knife grabbed her. She screamed, “Oh my God, he stabbed me! Please help me! Please help me!”For more than half an hour, thirty eight neighbors watched the killer

37、stalk Kitty. The last time he stabbed her, she was slumped on the foot of the stairs to her apartment. Not one person telephoned the police during the fatal attack. Later, the policemen gathered statements from the witnesses. Among their comments were, “I didnt want to get involved,”“We thought it w

38、as a lovers quarrel,”and “I was tired. I went back to bed.”,Q: We can conclude that the man who stabbed Genovese _. A. was someone she knew B. intended to kill her C. was a convicted criminal D. was crazy,4. 观点态度题 在回答态度类问题时，先要把握文章总的基调。在阅读时要注意文章不同层次连接处的信号词，注意文章中语句间的逻辑关系，作者的态度往往会在转折词（but, however, nev

39、ertheless, etc.）后面表露；在带有让步状语从句的句子里，作者会在主句中透露自己的倾向。同时，还要注意作者使用的一些感情色彩强烈的词，如：ashamedly, unfortunately, ironically, irrationally等，我们可以从中揣测作者的好恶。,还有一种解答态度题的策略是从文章的体裁入手，一般说来，说明文中，作者的态度是客观的（objective）或中立的(neutral)；而在议论文中，作者的观点会表现出不同的倾向，如positive(肯定的)，negative（否定的），optimistic（乐观的），pessimistic（悲观的），critical

40、（批评的），favourable（赞成的），unfavorable（不赞成的），indifferent（漠不关心的），ironical/sarcastic（讽刺的）等等。,【真题示例】（2006年）“Dont be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You dont relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh,

41、 and speak freely. Youre like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, youll fly very high. Good night.”95At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded _.A. rude B. cold C. friendly D. encouraging,5. 词汇语义题 词汇语义题主要考查学生对个别单词、短语和句子的理解，有一定难度，通常要求考生通读上下文，综合各方面的知识后做出判断。猜测词义的技巧不外乎两种：上下文语境法和利用词根词缀

42、的构词法。(1) 上下文语境法：利用文中所给的定义、同义词、相关信息、例证、比较等。如：The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state and behaviour of the atmosphere.,(2) 利用构词法猜测词义：英语中有些复合词、混合词可以结合上下文语境压缩词义的范围，选择一个合理的词义解释。另外，寻找词根也是猜测词义的最佳办法之一，因为词根最能反映一个词的基本意义。最后，辨认单词的前缀和后缀，了解其意义和作用，有助于猜测生词的词义。【注意】词汇语义题还是要把该词放到整个文章中，结合上下文
