According to The New York Times, the fire began around 6: 30 p.m. local time, when tourists urgently rushed out of the building. While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic(灾难性的).CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, Notre-Dame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒). NBC News reports that relics from Saint Genevieve and Saint Denis may been lost, together with a relic believed to be from Jesus Christ's crown of thorns, but it states that authorities now believe that the cathedral has been saved from “total destruction”. Notre-Dame is visited by a reported 30, 000 people a day and 13 million people per year. Its destruction represents a global cultural loss. "This is just horrible", Mohamed Megdoul, 33, a film producer and witness to the fire told The Times, speaking through tears. "A thousand years of history is being wiped away. This belonged to the whole world, and now it's disappearing."French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his sadness on Twitter. "Notre-Dame of Paris in flames," reads an English translation of his statement. "Emotion for a whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all the French. Like all our countrymen, I'm sad together to see this part of us burn." Other politicians, including Melanis Trump, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, U. K. Prime Minister Theresa May also shared their sadness on Twitter.(1)What do we know about Notre-Dame according to the passage?A.It has been completely destroyed by the fire.B.It's a huge political loss to the world.C.It's only meaningful to Catholics.D.The reason of the fire remained to be found out.(2)What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?A.The history of France is destroyed because of the fire.B.The loss the fire caused is huge.C.The damage of Notre-Dame is being wiped off.D.The cathedral has been saved from "total destruction".(3)What's the purpose of writing the passage?A.To report a disaster of Notre-Dame.B.To express people's sadness of the destruction.C.To emphasize the value of Notre-Dame.D.To show the concerns from the worldwide.【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了举世闻名的法国巴黎圣母院发生火灾的相关信息。

Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.(1)If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship(2)When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in (3)According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.(4)What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文,我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

He told his brother: "Receive this scholar and treat him well!Don't say a word to him,and everything will be OK."The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest."Did my brother receive you properly?" asked the monk."You brother is outstanding. He's a great theologian!" exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm."What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?" stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk."We had a passionate conversation," replied the scholar." We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. "A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother."So how did it go earlier with the theologian?" he asked."Very simple," said the brother. "He made fun of me; he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, 'Be that as it may, between us, we have three eyes.' That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn't stop his insulting challenges."(1)According to the passage, the monk's brother is a person__________.A. who was a great theologianB. who was a three-eyed idiotC. who was a one-eyed theologianD. who was a fool with only one eye(2)The theologian thought the monk's brother as a great theologian because ______.

高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out."I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good," she says. "But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. "Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage." Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. "China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says. "For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China".(1)From the first paragraph, we learn that ________.A. the audience are all young peopleB. Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicC. Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stageD. tree branches make good musical instruments(2)Which of the following is TRUE of Zhu Zheqin?A. She teaches music in a conservatories.B. She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.C. She works as an official in the United Nations.D. She's created all the music for the Grand Theater.(3)Zhu Zheqin traveled to some of China's remotest regions to ________.A. record the traditional ethnic musicB. help the local musicians play the musicC. show the UN Chinese musical traditionsD. enjoy the music of various ethnic groups(4)What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?A. It is completely out of date.B. Only old musicians play it well.C. It needs changes to attract young people.D. It is quickly dying out.(5)What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?A. The traditional music should be repackaged.B. Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.C. China has contributed a lot to the Western art.D. Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.【答案】(1)B(2)B(3)A(4)C(5)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了歌手朱哲琴将中国少数民族传统音乐整理再包装后向年轻人推广,并呼吁重视传统、找到真正能代表本民族的东西.(1)考查细节理解。
【英语】高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven't given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. "It's a silent extinction," said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist."The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places," said Hennessy, "as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence." You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece.Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids' books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies (亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of "least concern" but two subspecies as "endangered". "It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information," Hennessy says. "And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after." He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(1)By saying "It's a silent extinction", Hennessy tells us that ______.A. giraffes are unpopular in AfricaB. the giraffe is always silent in daily lifeC. the ecology of Africa needs more attentionD. the extinction occurs without enough attention(2)What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania?A. The country's custom.B. The illegal international trade.C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.D. The idea that it's a cure for AIDS.(3)The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.A. preventing illegal hunting in AfricaB. rewriting kids' books about giraffesC. providing reliable data about giraffesD. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS(4)The final purpose of Hennessy's great effort is to ______.A. collect more information about giraffesB. raise public awareness of protecting giraffesC. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few yearsD. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。
高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.(2019•浙江)阅读理解California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon.C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文,围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题,探讨出现这一现象的原因。

A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China."Ecological design" is the name John gives to what he does. "Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor," he says. "You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair."1.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A. He was fond of traveling.B. He enjoyed being alone.C. He had an inquiring mind.D. He longed to be a doctor.2.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A. To feed the animals.B. To build an ecosystem.C. To protect the plants.D. To test the eco-machine.3.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A. To review John's research plans.B. To show an application of John's idea.C. To compare John's different jobs.D. To erase doubts about John's invention.4.What is the basis for John's work?A. Nature can repair itself.B. Organisms need water to survive.C. Life on Earth is diverse.D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.3.【2023年新高考全国II卷】As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break."We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.1.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A. Pocket parks are now popular.B. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.C. Many cities are overpopulated.D. People enjoy living close to nature.2.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A. To compare different types of park-goers.B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.C. To analyze the main features of the park.D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.3.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C. The same nature experience takes different forms.D. The nature language enhances work performance.4.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A. Language study.B. Environmental conservation.C. Public education.D. Intercultural communication.二、考情分析I 社会文化类文化类文章的选材一般以中西方文化差异或者社会文化现象为重点,如礼仪、语言、生活习惯,价值观等,题材涉及社会、文化、教育、体育等方面的内容。

(5)理解文章的基本结构。
(6)理解作者的意图、观点和态度。
二、解题策略解答阅读理解题的总体策略应定位于:单句入手,语篇突破,着眼整体,归纳推断。
具体的做法是:第一、准确理解关键句子、关键词语的意义。
善于解读难句、猜测生词的词义和语义,注意跨文化语言障碍,避免因粗心大意或理解不准确造成曲解或误解。
第二、抓住语句表达的实质。
即不仅能看懂词、句的表面意思,而且能够扑捉到文字背后的引申意义以及作者的态度和倾向,即潜在的深层含义。
第三、要耐心细致地读完全部选项,应按照“误否?虚否?偏否?”的三级思考程序来分析鉴别每一个选项,即先看与文中内容是否相矛盾,再看在文中有没有信息支撑点,最后看能不能完全符合题目的要求,找出差异,然后根据问题的特点和题型确定选项。
不要急于求成,使选出的答案似是而非。
第四、要仔细审题。
学生由于把主要精力都放在选择正确答案上,因此一旦找到了叙述与短文事实相符的选项,就盲目地选它为答案,忽视了题目到底问什么,从而使所选答案答非所问。
第五、要以语篇事实为依据,理解通篇的逻辑关系,把握住语篇的结构与文脉,在事实的基础上进行合乎逻辑的推理,避免盲目的或无根据的主观臆断。
第六、快速阅读,整体理解。
阅读速度阅读理解的重要方面,速度不能过慢,最低要求是30~50 WPM 。
平时要养成良好的阅读习惯,克服逐字停顿、回读等坏习惯。
阅读时要有紧迫感,集中注意力,力求一个意群一停顿,甚至一行一停顿。
千万不要一遇到生词就查字典,平时要学会根据上下文、构词法、生活常识、定语从句、同位语从句、破折号、等猜测词义;平时必须进行快速阅读训练或限时训练。
还要有强烈的语篇意识,着重整体理解,要在十分有限的时间内抓住短文要点、搜寻关键词、确定主题句,还要记忆有关细节、理清短文脉络”。
三、体裁导读1. 记叙文类记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局,通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等。
从总体上来讲,文章的难度通常不大,在阅读过程中,我们一直在某个线索的引导下,随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末,因此会感到比较轻松。
命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
阅读此类文章应特别注意:(1)若是一般故事性文章,应读懂故事的发生,发展,高潮和结局;(2)若是“哲理故事”,要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义;(3)若是“逸闻趣事”,应体会对话的风趣性,进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
命题方式包括:2. 说明文类材料特点这类文章的总体特点是:科技词汇多,句子结构复杂,理论性强,逻辑严谨。
具体说来它有以下几个特点:1). 文章中词汇的意义比较单一、稳定、简明,不带感情色彩,具有单一性和准确性的特点。
这类文章通常不会出现文学英语中采用的排比、比喻、夸张等修辞手法,一词多义的现象也不多见。
2). 句子结构较复杂,语法分析较困难。
为了描述一个客观事物,严密地表达自己的思想,作者经常会使用集多种语法现象于一体的长句。
3). 常使用被动语态,尤其是一些惯用被动句式。
What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? 作者的写作目的(purpose) The main purpose of announcing the above events is__________.1.We can infer from the Passage that ____.2.What can be inferred from…3.The author suggests in this paragraph that..4.The writer implies that__________.5. It can be concluded from the Passage that _.6. What conclusion can be drawn from…?7. The author is inclined to think that ____.8.What’s the writer’s attitude / feeling towards.?命题形式:命题特点科普类阅读的主要命题形式有事实细节题、词义猜测题、推理判断题以及主旨概括题等,其中推理判断题居多。
方法概述:高考对说明文的考查多为科普说明文,它是阅读理解重要内容,也是高考考查难点。
科普类“阅读理解”题愈来愈受到命题者的青睐。而科普类文章往往具有跨学科、行文逻辑性强等特点,要求考生能从文章的整体逻辑以及重要细节上全面把握。【试题特点】①注重学科渗透,行文逻辑性强,内容抽象。②贴近学生的学习、生活实际,有利于激发学生的思维,对选拔优秀考生有一定的作用。③能全面地考查学生的综合阅读能力和运用所学知识去分析、解决实际问题的能力。科普类文章往往具有跨学科、行文逻辑性强等特点,学生要从文章的整体逻辑以及重要细节上全面把握。
科普说明文通常设置下列题型:1)标题判断题考查对全文的理解。
常以What would be the best title of the passage?为设题方式,解题时应特别注意。
2)生词词义判断题科普说明文往往提倡揭示自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原理等,易出现一些学术性较强的生词,这种题常以What does the underlined word mean?或What’s the meaning of the underlined word?形式出现。
解题时一定要认真阅读原文,分析原文对自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原理是如何解释、如何定义的,在此基础上判断生词词义。
3)代词指代判断题科普说明文在对自然奥秘、动植物生存特点、产品工艺原理等进行解释时易出现动作变换多,人称转变频的现象,因此常出现代词指代判断题。
这些题常以it, them, they 等表物的代词为命题特点,学生要根据上下文语境逻辑判断其指代对象。
解题时需认真分析动作转换背景,区分动作不同的执行者,从而准确判断代词的不同指代。
4)科学方法图示判断题科普说明文常出现科学方法图示判断题,这种试题或以生物依赖关学—科—网系为命题题点,要求考生判断正确的生物依赖关系;或以工艺流程为命题题点,要求考生判断正确的流程顺序,或以生产方法为命题题点,要求考生判断正确的生产方法;或以机械配制为命题题点,要求考生判断正确的机械配制。
解题时一定要认真阅读分析原文对生物依赖关系、发明创造诞生过程和工艺流程过程的介绍,并且边读边画简易草图,以提高理解准确率。
分析备选项时应对照原文介绍情况,找出各图不同之处,以便最终做出正确判断。
3. 议论文类议论文是英语中的重要文体,在每年的高考阅读理解中占有一定的比例。
相对于其它文体,议论文阅读要难一些,因此要多加重视。
议论文就是说理性的文章,一般由论点、论据和论证过程组成。
议论文都要提出论题、观点、提供充分的证据,使用一定的逻辑方法证明观点或得出结论。
命题形式:从近几年观的高考英语试题来看,议论文类阅读理解的命题类型主要有:1). 主旨题: 考查考生对于议论文基本观点的理解,是主旨题设题的目的。
做这种类型的题目要弄清作者想说什么,即作者写此文章的目的。
2). 推理判断题: 以事实为依据,但其结果有绝不是事实本身。
它主要测试考生的逻辑思维能力,侧重于推理。
3). 细节题: 是议论文试题的主要题型。
这种题要求考生理解文中的具体观点和具体事实。
题解题技巧:第一,抓论点、寻论据。
阅读议论文我们要抓住论题,即作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出的结论。
抓住了论题,我们就把我了中心。
第二,注重文章结构,理清文章脉络。
把握文章结构,有利于对文章大意的理解。
从论证方法上讲,常见的议论文结构有以下两类:1). Put forward a question →Analyze the question →Solve the question这就是“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”的过程。
2). Argument/Idea → Evidence → Conclusion/Restating the idea这就是“由论点到论据到结论或者强调论点”的过程。
第三,体会文章语言特点,把握作者写作态度,准确进行推理判断。
能否正确把握作者的观点和态度是体现阅读能力的重要方面。
一般来说,对作者的总的态度和倾向,必须在通读全文,掌握了论点和论据后,方能做出判断。
在判断作者观点态度时,我们应注意,有时候作者的观点和态度并不是明确地表达出来的,需要我们认真体察。
做推理判断时,一定要遵循逻辑规律,以事实为依据进行合理的推理。
另外,解答此类试题,可以从以下几个方面着手考虑:作者在开始叙述一个现象,然后对现象进行解释。
这类文章的主题是文中最重要的解释或作者所强调的解释,阅读时要注意作者给出的原因,所以又被称为原因——结果(Cause & Effect)型。
还有一种比较常见的是问题——答案型,作者在一开始或一段末以问句提出一个问题(相当于一个现象),然后给出该问题的答案(相当于解释)。
针对文中问题给出的主要答案就是这种文章的中心。
这里强调一点: 答题时优先考虑正面答题(直接从文章内容得出答案) ,然后从中心、态度或利用解的特征等其他角度对选项进行检验;如果从文章内容中直接无法解决,则从中心和态度方面考虑;次之从解的特征方面考虑。
学生往往最怕此类体裁。
山穷水尽时,记住:首先从整体上把握文章中心和作者所持的态度,靠近中心的就是答案四、题材导读1. 人物型阅读理解人物类阅读属于记叙文文体,描写的都是比较有名的或有重大成就的人,如政治要人、艺术明星、体育明星等,内容主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等,其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线,脉络清楚,可读性较强。
