一教学分析
1.教学内容简述
该课是一堂专项阅读训练课，具体介绍在高中英语阅读理解中的猜词技巧。“猜测词句意义”题型在高考阅读中占有一定的份量，每年的高考题中有2-3题，也就是每篇阅读基本上有1题，占了一定的份量。而我们学生在这方面的技能显得薄弱，猜词能力比较差，猜词没有具体的系统的方法，因此，针对此题型的训练就显得很有必要。在必要时，做些语法分析，通过词与词的关系，确定其词性；有时根据常识和生活经验或构词法知识，完全可以对那些从未见过的生词的词义作出正确的推测。做这种题时，特别要注意的是，对于那些我们熟悉的词千万不要妄自、草率下结论，一定要结合上下文判断它在文中的意思。
2 教学对象分析
高三的学生到了高三下学期，积累了一定的词汇量，具备了一定的语篇分析能力，通过一定的练习，掌握了一些阅读理解解题技巧，但是学生普遍基础薄弱，句子分析能力差，不知道联系上下文，阅读能力实属一般，很多同学甚至都是凭感觉在做题，并无系统的解题方法。因而，希望通过此节课使学生的阅读理解能力有所提高。

高中英语阅读技巧及专题训练（含答案） 一、题型知识 短文的体裁涉及记叙文、说明文、议论文和应用文等；题材涉及政治、经济、历史、地理、文化、教育、新闻报道、人物故事、科技信息、海外风情等；每段短文后一般设计4 道试题，最多的有5 道题，最少的设计 3 道题。纵观历年高考英语试题，英语阅读理解主要从以下5 个方面来考查考生的英语阅读理解能力： 1. 事实细节题。这类题主要考查考生对英语文章事实细节的掌握情况。它又分为两种情况：一是词语细节类，其答案几乎可以直接从原文中找出来，考生只要根据题干中的关键词与原文进行对照，就能找到答案；二是隐含细节类，这类题虽然不能直接从原文中的找到对应的词或短语，但考生可以根据文章的隐含意义，如原因、前提或结果等仔细推敲出答案来。 细节类试题的提问方式很多而且灵活，提问的对象涉及短文中的时间、距离、数量或原因、结果、方式等具体的细节，有的需要先进行计算才能得出答案，有的先要找出文章的相应部分才能得出答案，也有的要把文章中所有的相关细节全部找出来才能得出答案。常用的提问句型有： What does the author say in…? According to the passage, where / when / why / how / who…? What is the reason for…? Which of the following is (NOT) true? Which of the following is (NOT) mentioned? The writer mentioned all of the following EXCEPT… 2. 推理判断题。这类题不仅考查考生对文章中某些句子字面意思的理解，而且还考查对句子间逻辑关系的理解、对事物发展结果的推导。这方面的出题多、难度大，考生可得小心。其提问的常用方式有： What does the author think about…? What can be inferred / concluded from…? What do you think…according to the passage? According to the writer, which of the following is right? 3. 词义猜测题和语义理解题。这类题主要考查考生对英语文章中生词的解释意义、代词的指代意义及短语或句子的含义。其常见的提问方式有： What does the writer mean by saying “…”? What does the word / phrase“…”in Paragraph…mean? Which of the following can replace the word / phrase “…”in Paragraph…? From the passage we can infer that the word / phrase “…”is… 4. 主旨大意题。这类题主要考查考生对文章中心思想、段落大意的归纳、总结及概括能力。其提问的方式常有：The title of this passage should be… Which of the following can be the title of this passage? What is the main idea of this passage? What does the writer mainly tell us in this passage? 5. 观点态度题。这类题主要考查考生对作者在文章中所表露出来的观点、感情、态度、目的、意图的理解。考生要能够从文章的用词、语气或对某个细节的陈述来推断作者的态度、观点等。其提问的常见方式有： What is the opinion of the writer in this passage? What is the writer’s attitude towards…? What does the writer think…? What is the purpose of the writer in this passage? 二、词汇知识 词汇是语言的重要组成部分，是进行阅读的基础。因此，考生首先要掌握必要的英语词汇：新课标对高中毕业的词汇要求是：运用词汇阅读理解和表达不同的功能、意图和态度等；运用词汇描述比较复杂的事物、行为和特征，说明概念等；学会使用3,000 个单词和400～500 个习惯用语和固定搭配。新课标词汇表共收集英语词汇3,300 个，短语360 个。 其次，不仅要熟悉这些单词常见的词性和基本意义，而且还要了解单词的转类及引申意义。如果考生只知道question 和head 分别作名词，基本意思分别是“问题”和“头，脑袋”。那么对句子Father questioned his daughter where she was heading when he saw her 中question 和head 就不能理解，从而造成句子理解错误。 最后，还要了解词缀的意义、认识常见的首字母缩略词。当我们认识like 时，就要知道dislike 和unlike 的词性和意义区别；在认识able 后，也要了解disable 和unable 词性和意义的不同。如果把He is unable to get here today
专题复习： 关于阅读理解中的猜词悟义题 近几年的高考阅读理解题越来越重视对考生猜词悟义能力的考查，猜测词悟义的能力，即掌握一些猜测生词词义的方法，对排除阅读中生词的干扰、降低生词率、提高阅读速度和理解能力是必不可少的，这是考生英语阅读理解能力的一个重要组成部分。这种不用词典而通过上下文来认识生词的能力是每一个考生所必须具备的能力。这类题主要考查考生对文中的重点词句的理解，要求考生对文章中的个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释或推测其义。 常用的问题形式： 1. He underlined word（phrase）in the passage means ________________． 2. The word "it（them）"in the first paragraph refers to _____________． 3. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _____________． 4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the second paragraph？ 5. What does（do）the underlined word（words）refer to？ 6. According to the passage, “…” probably means ______________. 7. The author uses the word “…” to mean __________. 8. The underlined word/phrase/team “…”means ______________. 9. The word “…” in paragraph …refers to __________. 10. What does “…” in the second paragraph stands for? 11. The sentence “…” means _______________. 例如: Apple trees may grow as tall as 12 metres and they grow best in areas that have cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree. The underlined word “ yielded” most probably means__________. A. sold B. bought C. improved D. produced Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down form father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants form wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long ago. In this paragraph the phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” refers to _________. A. personal experience B. wild weeds among good plants C. the information from the parents D. the vast store of traditional practices 猜词悟义方法： 一、针对性解释 针对性解释是作者为了更好地表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂
高中英语阅读技巧 1.理解与速度 要处理好理解与速度的关系。答题时要力求情绪平稳，不要一味追求速度而影响理解的准确性；不要拘泥于一词一句的理解；不要遇到不懂的地方就反复读，影响阅读速度。比较好的阅读方法是边看边想边理解。遇到生词或看不懂的地方先做个记号，继续看下去，因为一些疑难点往往会在下文中得到解决。 关于阅读速度，难度中等的文章应为每分钟60个单词左右；难度较低、生词不超过总词汇量20％的材料，阅读速度应为每分钟70个单词左右。一般来说，“超纲”而又影响阅读理解的词汇都会用中文标出词义。只有保证了阅读的速度才有可能在规定时间内完成阅读、复读及答题的任务。 2. 阅读训练方式 在训练方式方面要力求多样化。常见的阅读训练方式有：掠读、寻读、精读和泛读等。在掠读、寻读时要掌握查阅的技巧。查阅时应迅速找到某一特定信息在短文中的位置，并以这个位置为中心，扩展到上文和下文，寻求正确答案。要学会用扫视的方法寻找信息。扫视时，眼睛要纵向而不是横向移动。运用扫视来扩大视觉范围能帮助考生又快又准确地捕捉到想要查找的信息。 应根据阅读目的选择阅读方式，调整阅读速度，合理分配阅读时间。 3. 生词处理 在阅读时一定会碰上生词或记不清楚的词汇。遇到这种情况时，考生可以通过上下文猜测词义。具体方法如下： (1) 根据生词前后词汇的意思或整个句子的意思来猜测生词。例如： The old man put on his spectacles and began to read. 根据句子后部分began to read可以猜出spectacle的意思为‘“眼镜”。 (2)根据语法知识和标点符号来猜测生词。例如： They will be on the night shift---from midnight to 6 a. m. ---next week. 此句两个破折号之间的部分表明night shift是“夜班”的意思。 (3) 根据说明词义的定语从句来猜测生词。例如： The type of meter is called multi-meter, which is used to measure electricity. 从上句中的定语从句可以推断出multi-meter是“万能表”的意思。 (4) 根据已知事实细节来猜测生词。例如： The family had just moved and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother’s day and 800 miles separated her from her parents in another state far away. 根据上下文的陈述，“刚刚搬家，远离父母，正好是星期天，又是母亲节，而两代人却天各一方”等事实，可以推断出年轻妻子当时忧郁、伤感的心情，并由此猜测出生词melancholy 的意思。 (5) 学会只猜测生词的大概意思，而不必追求其准确含义。例如： The Asian gibbon, like other apes, is especially adapted for life in trees. 在这句话中，考生只要猜出自gibbon是apes (类人猿) 的一种就行了，毋须知道其准确意思。 (6) 运用构词法判断生词的词义，也是提高阅读速度的一种技巧。考生可以通过已知的
高考英语阅读理解的猜词技巧 猜测词义，是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇提供的信息、行文逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某个生词、难词、关键词的词义。英语词语的意义非常丰富，语境不同，词义也就不同。所以解决此类题目要掌握一定的猜词策略。 I.根据上下文语境进行猜测 任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键，也是高考的热点。如： 例1.(2002年全国卷，B篇)“Organic produce is always better，”Gold said，“The food is free of pesticides(农药)，and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business 62.What is the meaning of “the organic trend”as the words are used in the text？ A.growing interest in organic food B.better quality of organic food C.rising market for organic food D.higher prices of organic food 例2.(2003年全国卷,C篇)Fermat's Last Theorem(定理).First put forward by the French mathematician Pierrede Fermat in the seventeenth century，the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds，including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem，and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. 65.Which of the following best exp lains the meaning of the word “baffle” as used in the text？ A.To encourage people to raise questions. B.To cause difficulty in understanding. C.To provide a person with an explanation. D.To limit people's imagination. 例3.If he thinks he can invite me out, he is all wet. I don’t like to be with him. A. drunk B. sweating C. happy D. mistaken 练习：1.A deaf and dump guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. 2. The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada, summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, the temperature is usually above freezing. 3. All the houses in the city collapsed during the earthquake. 4. For people who live within a stone’s throw from the office to be late to work is unforgivable. 5. The conflagration was so fierce that with just a few second one could see towering flames where the house had stood and the smoke which filled the sky could be seen for miles and miles. （二）根据定义或解释猜测词义 有些阅读文章，尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的有些生词，往往在其后有对该词进行解释说明性的短语或句子，如to be, that is , mean, stand for, namely, to refer to, to mean ,in other
高中英语阅读理解的训练技巧 要求读者把握每段的主题句，弄清段于段之间逻辑关系的基础上自己归纳总结。主题句必须能简洁明了地概括全文的主要内容，具有高度的综合性和概括性。文章或段落的其他句子都是对主题句的进一步解释,说明,论证或扩展. 常见的主题句和主旨型题干: 1) what is the topic sentence of the passage? 2) this article/text/passage mainly tells that _____________. 3) which of the following gives a general idea of the passage? 4) which of the following is the main idea of the passage? 如:joshua bingham studied 4 years at the university of paris and decided to leave his graduation. he transferred to the university of berlin and graduated with honors. harvard law school and, later, boston college provided him with an excellent legal background. he is presently a corporation lawyer in miami, florida. q: what is the main idea of the passage? ____ a. how joshua bingham became a lawyer. b. bingham is a diligent student.c. joshua bingham received an excellent education. d. a good lawyer needs good education. 【解题思路】此文没有主题句。全篇共四句，只陈述了四个细节(detail)性的事实。因此就答案本身看，个个都对。读者只能将所有的details综合起来，进行逻辑推理，才能构成一个没有言明的主题思想(unstated main idea)。由于文中主要涉及了joshua bingham接受教育的情况，即作者想告诉我们的是:joshua bingham接受过良好的教育，所以答案是 c。 总之，阅读水平的提高不是一两天的阅读就可以见效的。想要提高阅读能力，一是要培养良好的阅读行为习惯;如:要用眼光看，不要用手指去点;要默读，不要小声读。二是要积累大量的词汇，把阅读中的高频难词熟记，每次阅读后要整理好生词，然后记住其意思。三是要广泛地做课后阅读，坚持每天读1-2篇文章。四是不要一遇到生词就查字典，要先猜其意义，等做完题目后再查字典，以免影响阅读速度。 一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。(略读) 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。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、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。 抓主题句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用，主旨大意题，归纳概括题，中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。
