二、高分攻略看过来！

1. 寻找主题句
一般来说，文章的主题句有以下几种位置：
(1) at the beginning (2) at the end
(3) at the beginning and at the end (4) in the middle of the passage
(5) no clear topic sentence
2. 排除干扰项

(1) 主观臆测，并非作者的观点(2) 范围过大，过于笼统
(3)范围过小，以偏概全(4) 文中未提及，找不到出处
三、考查类型及解题技巧有哪些？
1. 段落大意类
【例1：内蒙古呼和浩特】
For just $38, you can help one person see; for $380, 10 people can see; $1,300 helps train a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training program for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your love can help them open their eyes to the world.
The last paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. how much a training program for a group of doctors costs
B. why ORBIS needs your help to continue their work
C. who can make thousands of blind people see again
D. what you can do to help blind people open their eyes
【解析】D。段落举出几个例子，说明不同的金钱额度可以为盲人做到的事情。A和C选项分别是其中某一例子，不能概括全段。B选项的意思是ORBIS需要你的帮助，借此呼吁读者，故B选项不正确。
【解题方法】提取关键词。关键词是在文章或段落中反复出现，甚至其它说明内容都为之服务的词语。段落中重复出现的词语有you, can, help (以及provide，在此表达意义相近)。找到关键词，我们就会发现，该段落的每一句话都站在读者“你”的角度，以“你能做某事来帮助盲人”为句子中心，呼吁读者做出自己的贡献。然后再综合四个选项，只有D选项包含了全部三个关键词。
【例2：山东烟台卷】
Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
Thomas Edison died at the age of 84. He left a great many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.
What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The function of the electric light.
B. Edison and his experiments.
C. The importance of inventions.
D. The whole life of Edison.
【解析】D。此题考查文章的大意。综观文章结构，它不属于上面所说的任何一种。但细读文章能发现，每一段都有明确的时间：第2段Thomas Edison was born in 1847；第3段When he was 12 years old, he got his first job；第5段Thomas Edison died at the age of 84。由此可以看出本文讲的是爱迪生的人生经历，所以答案选D。其他三个选项都是片面的，犯了以偏概全的错误。A和C只在第一段中提到，而且没有指明是爱迪生的发明；B选项，只提出爱迪生和他的实验，没有包括文章的主要内容—爱迪生的人生经历。
2. 文章标题类
【例3：山东德州】
Green is an important color in nature. It is ... It is ...
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example ... In the 15th century ... A century later ... By the 18 th century ...
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb (大拇指). The expression ... A person with a green thumb ... The Green Revolution (绿色革命) is …
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling. Jealousy (嫉妒). The green eyed monster ... It is ... It …
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal (信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval (赞成) to continue with a project.
Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. Green, the color of grass and trees
B. The stories about the color “green”
C. Green, a sign of approval
D. Different meanings of “green”
【解析】D。这篇文章讲述了绿色的许多意义。第一段开头引出绿色的重要性，第二段到第四段分别说明绿色在不同语境不同环境的使用。A选项只说了绿色在自然界的意义；文章没有讲述绿色的故事，只提到了不同地方绿色代表的不同含义，B选项错误；C选项是最后一段的概括，以偏概全。
【解题方法】跳读。跳读方法之一：看句子主语。在第一段中有三个主语，两个主语都
是代词It，很容易判断两个代词It指的是前文提到的Green，是进一步解释说明Green，属于细节内容。第三段第二句的主语The expression，用了定冠词，实际上也是指前文提到的内容。跳读方法之二：忽略举例词。第二段中for example是举例说明的标志词，也就是说，后面的内容举例，用来解释补充前面的观点。在把握主旨大意时，可以适当忽略。以此类推，我们通过跳读，分析出每个段落的主题句。例如这篇文章中，段落的主题句是首句。综合段落大意，每段讲了绿色的不同意义，从而总结出文章的最佳题目。
【例4：北京卷】
Teens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned. To begin building structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support (支持). Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them –not their growing maturity (成熟), misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.
There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close ...
......
The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.
What is the best title of the passage?
A. Training Teens to Become Responsible Adults.
B. Helping Teens to Build Reasonable Structure.
C. Improving the Relationship with Your Teens.
D. Stepping into Your Teens’ Secret World.
【解析】B。观察文章结构，根据第一段中的Teens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned可知，文章话题是关于well-planned life。根据第2段中的There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close可知，下面讲的是一些方法；根据最后一段中的This will help your teens to live a well-organized life可知，这句话是对以上内容的总结，所以，不难看出，这两句话是文章的主题句，所以答案选B。选项A的错误在于主观臆测，并非作者所表达的观点；C选项，范围过大，过于笼统；D 选项，走进青少年的秘密世界，文中未提及。
3. 中心思想类
【例5：四川宜宾卷】
… or some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics ... By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music.
The difference is complex (复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing ... Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断) ... That makes it easier for them to explain ...
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Amusics’ strange behaviors.
B. Musical ability.
C. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
D. Identification and treatment of amusic.
【解析】C。整篇文章的关键词是amusic (无法欣赏音乐的人)。文章主要介绍了amusic 病症及其原因的简单探究。
【解题方法】抓住中心句。中心句是对文章内容的概括或总结，通常是段落首句或尾句。另外，首尾句通常也有承上启下的作用。所以，重视首尾句更有助于我们把握文章内容。在上面的这个例子中，每段的首句就是段落的中心句。第一段首句引出话题：amusic；第二段讲了amusic的表现；第三段讲了amusic现象背后的科学依据；第四段说明了amusic的现状。【例6：广西桂林卷】

A. family members do not greet each other
B. family members do not eat at the family table

That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter （笑声）Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria. "Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt.

中考英语阅读理解专项复习经典 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne（凡尔纳） as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth（1864） and From the Earth to the Moon（1865）. In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many predictions（预言）for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared.
