初一英语阅读理解技巧在做英语阅读时，首先通读全文，不要被某个或某些自己不熟悉的单词所困扰，了解大概意思。
然后看问题，带着问题精读全文，同时选择答案，必要时用排除法，注意，文章中一般都会有答案，有的可以直接找到，英美人并不愿意把问题弄得太深奥，不必想得太复杂，很多都是直接了当的，千万别自己发挥想象。
但不得不说，平时多积累词汇量的话，答题可能就会主动一些，有把握一些。
一、初中阅读理解考查的主要内容。
首先，初中英语试题中的阅读文章题材多样(涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面)，体裁形式丰富(包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等)，这就需要考生在平时对各方面的知识都有所积累。
其次，阅读理解主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
在阅读技巧上，考生要注意文章的个别词或句子、文章的某细节或情节、文章的主题或背景知识、文章的结论或结局、文章内涵的寓意等。
最后，从问题设置上可以将问题总结为四种类型：(一)直接题目：这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
此类考查事实和细节的题目大多数是针对文章的细节设计的。
(二)理解性问题：要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子做出解释。
解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。
此类猜测词义的题目，要求考生根据上下文确定某一特定的词或短语的准确含义。
(三)推理性题目：这种题目考生往往不能直接从文中找到答案，而需要根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找到答案。
有时甚至还得考虑作者的主旨、倾向等因素加以推理，才能获得正确答案。
此类题目主要考查的是句与句之间，段与段之间的逻辑关系。
(四)概括性题目：要求考生在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章做出归纳、概括或评价。
此类考查主旨和大意的题大多数针对段落(或短文)的主题思想，标题或目的。
解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉及文章的标题、主题、结论、结局等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文章中内含的信息。
二、阅读理解题的解题技巧。
明确了阅读理解题的考查要点以后，我们现在来研究破解阅读理解题的方法和技巧。
1.获取段落的主旨和大意。
最有效的办法是找出主题句。
一篇文章(或一段文章)通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的。
而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。
这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。
因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句。
主题句一般具有三个特点：1)表述的意思比较概括，相对其主句来看，这种概括性更为明显。
2)句子结构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式。
3)段落中其它的句子必定是用来解释、支撑或发展主题句所表述的主题思想的。
在一个段落中，大部分主题句的位置有两种：1)主题句在段首。
这种情况相当普遍。
一般新闻报道、说明文，议论文大都采用先总述，后分述的叙事方法。
2)主题句在段末。
用归纳法写文章时，往往表述细节的句子在前，概述性的句子在后，并以此结尾。
这种位于句末的主题句往往是对前面细节的总结，归纳或结论。
2.根据上下文猜测词义。
猜测词义也是一种英语阅读能力。
英语阅读理解试题中有不少这样的题目。
任何一个实词，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。
上下文的作用就是帮助确定上下文中的词、短语或句子的意义。
据此，我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词义，即从已知推求未知，也就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。
猜测词义时，我们可以从三个方面来考虑：1)根据上下文已知部分进行逻辑上的推理。
根据上下文猜测词义的方法有下列几种：根据定义或解释猜测词义；根据并列、同位关系猜测词义；根据同义、反义、因果关系猜测词义。
2)运用语法知识进行语法分析。
3)依靠常识和经验做出判断。
3、确定细节和事实。
在阅读理解题目中，有相当一部分是考查细节和事实的题目。
这类题目相对容易一些。
这些题目有两个共同特点：(1)凡属针对特定细节的考题，其正确答案大都可以在阅读材料中找到对应的文字部分作为验证。
这一部分可能是一个词或短语，也可能是一个句子或相关的若干句子，但句式、用词和表达方式不同。
(2)干扰项往往是主体思想与细节混杂，正确答案细节和非正确答案的细节混杂，甚至真假混杂。
因此，要做好阅读理解中的确定细节和事实的题目，一要在文章中找出相应的信息点，二要排除干扰项。
4.进行合理推断。
所谓推断，就是根据阅读材料中所提供的信息，推断出未知的信息。
即把有关的文字作为已知部分，从中推断出未知部分。
需要推断的有关文字可能是词或句子，也可能是若干句子，甚至是全文。
总之，只要平时善于积累，并熟练运用上述解题技巧，初中阅读理解题就将不再是难题。
