英语专业八级阅读理解推理题解题思路及技巧
英语专业八级阅读理解推理题解题思路及技巧
1.识别
当infer,learn,imply,conclude,suggest,indicate等出现在题干中时，可基本判定该题为推理题。
2.分类
根据推理题的不同情况，我们可以将之分为不同的种类：
①细节性推理：题干中包含有具体定位信息，此时它的做法和细节题类似，有时比细节题更简单。
③全文性推理：题干中包含主体词或无定位信息(从四个选择中寻找定位信息，或遵循顺序原则)。
3.解题原则
根据推理题的实际解体情况，我们在解题时应该坚持以下原则：
①主题大于细节，观点大于论据;
②推理必须有原文论据;
③重点关注转折
4.常考出题点
①段落首末句、主题句、观点句;
②与主题密切相关的细节;
③转折的地方;
④强调或递进关系的地方。
具体该如何操作，还是我们一起来看看例题吧。

根据第五段第二句，去年四月，法官表示说很多显而易见的'发明被授予。言下之意就是说，经常授予了没有必要的专利问题。选项A、C和D都不是正确答案，本题选C。选项A，专利问题不受法律影响。文中有提到法律质疑很可能会改变专利的未来。选项C属于无中生有的选项，文中并未提出;选项D并非是增加风险的几率，而是规避。
对小学英语考试常见题型的讲解及做题技巧，失分薄弱环节的讲解 1.针对四年级学生知识或能力系统和学生的认知规律确定易错题。 2.试题包括基础知识和能力题两大类。 3.每道题包括“典题呈现”“解题分析”“参考答案”“变式突破”四个方式 4.易错题型来源于平时的教学实践，注重所选易错题例的典型性和针对性，对 学生有启发和帮助。 5.注重所选易错题型应呈现的多样性。 小学英语考试的目的是什么？考的方式与内容与课程设置理念有无相悖？如果每个人能多思考这样的问题，我想无论从教学思想上还是评价体系上更上一层楼，即使是在应试教育的大气候下也能把握些许平衡 [学生要通过大量做卷子，过分钻研题型本身，那考试就失去意义了] 听力： 辨音： 这种题型考察的目的是什么？我一直很疑惑。（有同行说这些题目以后不考了，但总要思考下吧） 如果是考察学生对单词是否读准了，那告诉你，10个有8个是没问题的，exercise这个单词有点复杂，也许有很多学生对里面的单个音吃不准，但是要整体认读对，是不难的，但问题也就在这里，有很多学生会读整个单词，但不知道具体每个字母在这个单词里读什么音，这点也许那些高中，大学老师觉得很不可思议，但是小学老师绝对深有感触，我在训练直拼的时候就发现有几个很有这样问题的学生，我就问他big种的I到底发什么音，但是在他嘴里出来的是莫名其妙[e]；
如果这个不能说明问题的话，那举个th的例子是最能说明问题，几乎每个学生都能在单词里读对这个音，我就不相信有学生会把there种的th读成清音——词汇互译 这是一个基本功问题，即便是从过去侧重语言知识考察转变为知识技能、综合运用能力考察，这还是少不了的。如果一个学生连最起码的几个单词都不背或者没能力背的话，那谈什么素质教育？说到这个，我感觉应试教育虽然大行其道，千夫指，但是说实话，有些东西我们是绝对不能放弃的，难道素质教育的教学就是应该轻松的吗？不下苦功的学习永远是肤浅的 用单词的适当形式填空 有的题目是直接考词性变化比如sun (同音词) do (过去式), 也有的是放 在句子里让学生根据语境写适当的形式。前者这种形式慢慢被淘汰了，我觉得这是一个英明的举动。不放在语言环境里是没什么意义的，而且缺乏语境是还造成大量学生不会做的原因，比如你要学生默写“听见”，即使有点忘了的学生只要有I’m sorry to hear that的语感提醒，那还是会知道hear这个单词的，你要学生默写“来这里”的“这里”，也是不难的事情here. 但是你要猛的问here的同音词是什么？学生也许就怎么也想不出来了——here ( 同音词)________。这就是一件可悲的事情了，这被扣的一分又能说明什么呢？这得的一分除了表现这个学生的记忆好，根本没什么意义，因为那只是一个孤立的单词而已。 选择 选择题考些什么，大致分为两类，一类是语法题，第二类是运用性题目（包括语用题），其实大多数情况都是考前者，其实，至少说在小学里，我认为考语法应该以语感辅之分析为主，类似Does he…? Are you…? Is your father….?等都应该是在口语熟练下的水到渠成，也就是通常人常说的语感，有这样的语感铺垫，

社会生活类（Passage63～70） Passage63 题材：社会生活类字数：686建议用时：6分钟 From a hillside,Kamal Saadat looked forlornly at hundreds of potential customers,knowing he could not take them for trips in his boat to enjoy a spring weekend on picturesque Oroumieh Lake,the third largest saltwater lake on earth, which now lay encased by solidifying salt.Saadat lamented that he could not understand why the lake was fading away. The long popular lake,home to migrating flamingos,pelicans and gulls,has shrunken by60percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years—drained by drought,misguided irrigation policies,development and the damming of rivers that feed it. Until two years ago,Saadat supplemented his income from almond-and grape-growing by taking tourists on boat tours.But as the lake receded and its salinity rose,he found he had to stop the boat every10minutes to unfoul the propeller—and finally,he had to give up this second job that he'd used to support a five-member family.The visitors were not enjoying such a boring trip,for they had to cross hundreds of meters of salty lakebed just to reach the boat from the wharf. Other boatmen,too,have parked their vessels by their houses,where they stand as sad reminders of the deep-water days.And the lake's ebbing affects an ever-widening circle.

英语专业八级阅读真题分类解析 类别：阅读来源：美联英语学习网 专八真题测试中如果碰到阅读理解的话，大家会怎么办呢？难不成就是一口气的读下去，哪怕头脑发晕也要继续下去？这里就为大家介绍一些阅读理解习题的小技巧。 虽然考生的阅读能力明显高于其他的能力,但也存在一定的问题,主要是: (1) 部分考生的单词、词组以及语法的基本功还不过关，对阅读理解做成不应该的影响;(2) 考生的衔接能力不强; (3) 没有足够的推理和判断能力; (4) 阅读技能掌握不够,运用上下文解决问题能力不强,整体理解力有待提高。为了解决这些问题我们有必要了解一下阅读的一些基本层面。目前比较公认的将阅读理解的过程分为四个层次: (1) 字面理解(literal comprehension) ,主要是指读者可以理解文章的单词和句型,回想文章大意、细节、事件发生的时间、地点、顺序和人物之间的关系、对比、人物特性和因果关系等等。 (2)推断性理解(inferential comprehension) ,主要是指读者根据字面意思推断出字里行间的隐含意思,包括作者的意图和观点等。 (3) 评价性理解(evaluative comprehension) ,主要是指读者根据 自己的原则和观点对文章进行分析和评价。(4) 欣赏性理解 (appreciative comprehension) ,指读者最终对文章的写作技巧、思 想水平等做出评价。 以2007年真题中的TEXT A 为例：本文主要阐释了威尔士在英联邦中的地位的逐渐改善。该篇文章第一题为细节题。 According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to A. maintain the present status among the nations.
浅淡阅读理解的做题技巧: （一）、阅读理解一般分为故事幽默类、说明、科普类等。 1故事幽默类一般前面都在为幽默做铺垫，只有读到最后才能显现出幽默之出来。 这类短文一般难度不大，认真阅读，仔细选择，问题都可以解决，如Write a Letter to Mary, A Dirty Boy, On the Bus 等 2小学的说明,科普类短文都十分浅显,只要具备一点科普常识都会读懂的,如,Time, the Spring Festival .等,即使文章较长,问题也十分明显，从文中都能找到答案. 同学可动手做做下题：根据短文内容选择答案. 1.Sam is very good at school, but he is not clean. His face and hands are often dirty. He washes them with water only. He does not use soap(肥皂). Sam has an uncle. One day his uncle goes to see him. He looks at him and says, “Sam, I know what you ate for breakfast this morning.” “What?” Sam looks at his uncle and says. “Eggs” says his uncle, “Your face and mouth tell me that.” “You are wrong, uncle!”says Sam, “Not today or yesterday,but the day before yesterday(前天)!” ( )(1).Who is Sam? A. He is English. B. He is a student. C He is a young pioneer. D He is a teacher. ( )(2) What’s the Chinese for “dirty”? A. It’s “ 脏的“. B It’s “干净的” C It’s “坏的 “ D It’s “好的” ( )(3) What’s on Sam’s face and mouth? A Eggs. B Soap C Water D Bread ( )(4) Which of these is not wrong? A Sam doesn’t wash his face and hands every day. B. The uncle thinks the boy ate eggs last morning. C Sam doesn’t like eggs at all. D. Sam doesn’t know his uncle. 2.Hen(母鸡): There is some rice here. Eat it like this,my children. Chickens: Like this, Mother? Hen: Yes,that’s right, good. Eagle(鹰): There are some chickens here. I want to eat them. Hen: Don’t worry, my children . Let me do with it.
部编五年级英语阅读题型及解题技巧 小学英语阅读理解一般分选择填空、判断、回答问题、完形填空四类。 ①做任何阅读理解首先要通读全文，弄懂句意，千万不得马虎。 ②做好选择填空最好用排除法，首先排除语法、词法上的错误，再根据短文内容逐一排除每一个选项。 在排除每一个选项的过程中要细心，要明白排除每一项的原因，如果有几项看似都对，那就要考虑生活实际，排除不符合的。 如果实在排除不了其它选项，先要考虑自己有没有看错短文中的细节，只要题目不错，肯定有正确答案的。 ③做判断题更加需要细心，先要明白需要判断的语句主要讲的意思，然后再在文中找与此相关的语句，逐一对比，一旦发现哪有明显的不同，立刻做标记（×）。 ④回答问题要怎么问，怎么答，尽量用原文的句子回答，不要把单词抄错，回答后也要通读一遍，检查是否与原文相符，有没有语法、词法上的错误。 ⑤完形填空也要用排除法，如果出现一个单词的多种形态，要利用语法常识逐一排除；出现几个意义相近的单词，要考虑每个单词的用法； 若出现几个不同意义的单词，就考虑每个单词放在文中是否合理。 二、阅读理解 2．阅读理解阅读短文，判断下列句子正确还是错误。 A dog has large piece of meat in his mouth. When he is walking on a small bridge, he looks down and sees himself in the water. He thinks it is another dog. That dog has also a large piece of meat in his mouth. He says to himself, I want to get his meat. Then I can have two pieces of meat. He opens his mouth to bark the dog in the water, and his meat falls into water. （1）The dog has a small piece of meat. （2）He wants to get two pieces of meat. （3）He finds another dog in the water. （4）The dog is standing on the grass. （5）He has no meat at last. 【答案】（1）0 （2）1 （3）0 （4）0 （5）1
第3章英语专业八级标准阅读篇 人物记述类（Passage 31～38） Passage 31 题材：人物记述类字数：711 建议用时：7分钟 Not long ago, Ted Gup opened a battered old suitcase from his mother's attic and discovered a family secret. Inside was a thick sheaf of letters addressed to "B. Virdot," all dated December 1933, all asking for help. Also inside: 150 canceled checks signed by the mysterious Virdot. Gup, a journalism professor at Boston's Emerson College, quickly got to the bottom of the story: His grandfather Samuel Stone had used the pseudonym to slip money to impoverished people. "At the time, he caused quite a stir," says Gup, who chronicles the story in A Secret Gift: How One Man's Kindness--And A Trove of Letters--Revealed the Hidden History of the Great Depression. Stone wasn't a mogul, but as the owner of a chain of clothing stores, he was fairly well off. Just before Christmas, 1933, he placed an ad in his local Canton, Ohio, newspaper, offering money to 75 people who wrote to "B. Virdot" explaining their need. The letters poured in and were so heartrending (心碎的) that he ended up giving 150 people $5--close to $84 in today's money. "I read all the letters multiple times," says Gup, who was astonished by the raw anguish of the Depression. Then he tracked down the recipients" descendants. "Most people I contacted wept when
考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及解析一 The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed intuition to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise；and to integrate action into the process of thinking. Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness. Isenberg's recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers' intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha！experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns. One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert. Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution. 1. According to the text, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to [A] Speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem. [B] Identify a problem. [C] Bring together disparate facts. [D] Stipulate clear goals. 2. The text suggests which of the following about the writers on management mentioned in line 1, paragraph 2？
2019年英语专八阅读理解考前练习试题及答案 Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers ?D using nonscientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them. The creative shaping process of a technologist’s mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should be valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions such as wall thickness and pin diameter may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.
英语专业八级考试阅读理解练习 In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law. Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. "Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violence say, "all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. "Possible, my lord," the barrister replied, "none the wiser, but surely far better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve. 1. What is the best title for this passage? [A] Advocating Violence. [B] Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice. [C] Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution. [D] The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.
