第一篇:高中英語解題題典:閱讀理解第36-40部分
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power(原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to thc power station.Ahhough the power statkms themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not.Normally, only two methods of transport are itl use, namely road or rail.Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste.All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most eases will remain radioactive for thousands of years.It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioaclive, and so they must be stored iii one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented.For example, they may be hurled under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea.However, these methods do not solve lhe problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third.there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏)or an explosion at the power station.As with the other two dangers, this is nm very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program.Itowever, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry, l?akcn to gethcr, though, the probability of disaster(災難)is exrrtmtly high.1.Which of the following is FALSE?
A.It is possible that a leak or explosion occurs at a power station.B.It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C.The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.D.Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ______.A.easyB.impossible
C.reasonableD.ineffective
3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The power station is a safe place.B.The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C.The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.D.By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.4.What is this passage about?
A.Uses of nuclear power.B.Dangers from nuclear power.C.Public anger at nuclear power.D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.答:1.B 2.D 3.D 4.B
解析:
2.由第三段最后一句可知,那些儲存核污染的方法解決不了問題,由此可判斷出選項。3.最后一段大意是三種危險分開以后沒有危戶,符合題意。4,從全文中看,文中列舉了三種危險,故選B項。

A branch of computer science cailled artifical intelligence uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience.Artificial intelligence systems are al-so called expert systems, which enable computers programmed with great amounts of in formation to think about many possibilities such as diseases that certain symptoms(癥狀)could indicate and make a dccision for tile treatment.Computers are used in teaching as well.Programs that perform computer-aided in-struction(CAI計算機輔助教學)are designed to help students at all levels, from ele-mentary school to the university level.The student sits at a computer terminal(終端).The terminaI?s screen displays a question for the student to answer.If the answer is wrong or incumplete, tile computer may ask the student to try again.It then may supply the correct answer and an explanation.CAf is also used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee training programs of some business companies.One of the most important uses of computers is to communicate information over long distances.They can send information to each other over telephone lines.As a result, computers keep banks, newspapers, and other institutions supplied with hnformation.A computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms, build-ings, cities, or countries, all connected together.Computer networks allow people to communicate by using electronic mail a document typed into one computer and sent to an-other.Such document generally travel in only a few minutes, even if they are being sent over a long distance.The computer?s ability to share information with other computers over a network linked by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunieatitms.The Internet, an international network of computer networks, has spread out since the early 1990?s.The Internet began as.a US network of scientific and military computers in the 1960?s.Now it
is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail, software, and elec-tronic documents and picture files all over the world.The Internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communicaions for many people.In the future it will completely change the way people work.With the lnternet, increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office.Computers and their programs are the most complex devices in human history, and probably the most useful.Modern industrial societies now depend on them.As comput-ers become more powerful and widespread, computer education must continue to increase also.1.From the first paragraph we get to know that artificial intelligence systents _____.A.are beyond scientists? control

第二篇:高中英語教學論文 閱讀理解題解題指導
高中英語閱讀理解題解題指導
英語閱讀是英語學習中非常重要的環節之一,在英語學習中聽和讀是兩種輸入信息的方式,而說和寫是兩種輸出信息的方式,有輸入才能有輸出,所以只有通過閱讀才能擴大詞匯量,才能逐步提高我們寫作的能力,而且閱讀也是提高口語的輔助手段之一。在目前國內的中考、高考中與閱讀相關的試題占卷面成績的百分之五十以上,國外的托福、雅思考試中閱讀也是非常重要的考察內容之一。除了應試以外閱讀也是我們獲取信息,提高人文修養的途徑之一。一般人認為我們中國的學生雖然學的是啞巴英語,但閱讀不是問題,其實這種理解是片面的,我們大多數人學了十幾年的英語還是不能順利的閱讀英語的原文,比如雜志、報紙、文學作品等等。
英語的閱讀大的方面可以分為精讀與泛讀兩種。所謂精讀是指對一篇文章通過仔細閱讀理解文章的主題思想,每個段落的意思以及每句話的含義,還包括對單詞的詞性、詞義,句子的結構,特別是復雜句結構等語法點的理解與掌握,有時除了這些之外,還可能對文章的背景知識的了解,比如相關的歷史、政治、經濟、文化等。所謂泛讀是指對文章進行快速閱讀,通過閱讀理解文章的主題思想,而不必關心一些細節的含義及語法點。也有人提出快讀的概念,其實快讀是泛讀的一種,可以理解為限時的泛讀。為了提高英語閱讀的能力,精讀和泛讀都是必須采用的方式,兩者的交叉是較理想的方式。
除了精讀和泛讀兩種閱讀訓練方法以外,還有一些些因素與閱讀能力密切相關。首先是詞匯量的積累,詞匯是閱讀的基礎。其次是語法知識的掌握,特別對于初級、中級的學習者來說,沒有扎實的語法知識,很難提高閱讀的能力。再者是對英文文化背景知識的了解,這包括歷史、政治、經濟、文化等等。最后就是掌握一定的閱讀技巧,比如了解如何尋找文章和段落的主題句子,如何通過上下文推測生詞的含義,如何按文章含義去理解作者的寫作動機,如何掌握文章的事實細節,在考試中是先讀文章還是先看問題等等,這些技巧對于應試來說有時能起到一定的作用,但應試能力的提高最根本的還是閱讀能力的綜合提高

第三篇:閱讀理解解題方法
如何做語文閱讀理解題
(一)考點分類 具體題型 答題技巧 篩選信息: 1.考查文章的線索/本文的線索是什么?/關鍵看文章標題,標題往往就是線索;其次看文章反復出現的關鍵詞語,這個詞就是線索。
2.概括文章內容/請用簡潔的語言概括文章的內容/用“(何時,何地)誰+干什么+結果怎樣”的句式答題。或用“ 什么+怎么樣”句式組織語言。
3.考查文章的表達方式的辨析/本文(文中某段)主要運用了哪種表達方式?/識別敘述,描寫,說明,議論,抒情等表達方式。一般題目設置在議論句和描寫句上,考試時從這兩方面去辨別即可。
4.考查文章所描寫對象的特征/簡要概括文中事物的特點(優點,作用)/答案往往不止一點,需要提取。注意連接詞,如“首先,其次,還,也,此外”等,這些句子往往就是事物的幾點特征,找到一點特征后還要看看下面幾段的相同位置,找到隱含的答題點進行概括并加工合并,避免遺漏。
5.理解文章類題/提取文中的某句話,然后問為什么,原因是什么。/把題干帶入原文,答案一般就在原文語句的附件,可以用文中相關語句作答,也可以用提取出來的關鍵詞進行加工。審美鑒賞: 1.分析文章標題的作用/本文的標題有何作用/1.全文的線索,推動情節的發展;2.總結文章內容,點名主旨(突出)主題;3.形式新穎,吸引讀者;4反映人物情感的變化。(注意,回答不能全部照搬,需要根據文章的內容靈活套用)

3.賞析文章中的優美語句和段落/(1)文中劃線的句子運用了什么修辭手法,有何作用?(對文中的劃線句進行賞析;請說劃線句子的表達效果。(2)某段在文中起何作用。/(1)分析詞語的表達效果(參見上面);分析修辭+修辭作用,每種修辭手法都見其固定的答題套路。(2)文章開頭:引出下文;開頭點名故事描寫(說明,議論)的對象;照應文章標題;設置懸念,吸引讀者;為后文的情節發展埋下伏筆(做鋪墊),推動情節的發展。文章的中間:承上啟下的過渡中用;為后文的情節發展埋下伏筆(做鋪墊),推動情節發展。文章結尾:總結全文;解釋全文主旨;照應前文;照應文章標題;引人深思。注意:并不是每個答案全部寫上,而是根據具體情況套用適用的答案。
4.分析文中的人物形象/請分析文中**的形象。(文中的**具體有怎樣的性格特點)/從文中檢索關于人物的語言,動作,心理等的描寫,提取出關鍵詞來分析人物性格,并對結果進行加工合并。
5.分析句子,段落,文章表達方式的作用/(1)文中劃線句(某段)運用了什么樣的描寫方法,有何作用?(2)文中劃線句(某段)運用了什么樣的說明方法,有何作用?(3)文中劃線句(某段)運用了什么樣的論證方法,有何作用?/(1)首先分析屬于何種描寫手法,然后分析其作用:1.人物描寫:表現了人物**的特點,突出人物的**性格(心理,品質);2.環境描寫:烘托出了一種**的氣氛,表達了**人物怎樣的思想感情(心理)。(2)見固定的答題套路(3)見固定的答題套路
6.分析文章的表現手法和寫作技巧。/文章運用了何種表現手法,有何作用。(分析本文的寫作技巧)/表現手法:對比,象征,伏筆,照應等。每種表現手法都有其固定的答題套路。
深層含義:
1.分析文章標題的深層含義/分析本文標題的含義/首先找出標題中的關鍵詞語,先回答它字面上的意思,即其本意。然后聯系文章的主旨,說出這個詞語的寓意,便可得出其深層含義。
2.分析重點字詞的深層含義/說說你對加點詞語含義的理解/首先找到詞語在原文中的位置,然后弄清上下句具體的語境,弄清這個詞語所包含的寓意,即可得出答案。
3.分析文章重點句子的深層含義/說說你對文中畫線句含義的理解/理解句子含義一般有兩種解答方法:(1)將句子所表達的意思和具體語境或文章的主旨聯系起來,然后用淺顯的語言表述.(2)解釋這個句子為什么這么說,這么說的原因是什么.4.聯系生活實踐,對文中的主旨,觀點,作者的情感發表見解,或提出看法,建議等延伸拓展題。/聯系生活實際,談談你讀完本文后的啟示。(談談你對文章的理解)/只要符合題干要求,聯系文章內容主旨,有具體的事例說明,用淺顯的語言表述合理,語言流暢即可。
如何做語文閱讀理解題
(二)修辭方法 常見修辭方法答題套路
比喻/用(事物)比喻(事物),形象地寫出了(事物)??的特點(情態),表達了(人物)??的情感。擬人/把**擬人化(或賦予**人的情感),生動形象地表現了??的情狀(描繪出一幅??的畫面),寫出了事物??的特點,表達了(人物)??的思想感情。
排比/使句式更整齊,氣勢更強烈,強調了(事物)的??,突出了(人物)??的感情。夸張/夸大(或縮小)了(事物)的大小(長度,速度,性能等),突出了(事物)??的特點 反問/這個反問句的意思是??以強烈的語氣表達了(人物)??的態度(觀點,情感)。
設問/開頭出現,其作用通常為“設置懸念,吸引讀者”。文中或結尾出現,其作用通常為:引起了對??問題的關注(或引人深思),給人以啟迪,突出了文章的主旨。
借代/用(什么)代(什么),使被借代的更加具體,生動表達了什么感情或特點。
引用/1.引用詩句,其作用通常為“增加文章的詩情畫意,使文章語言更加優美”(或引用詩句是為了說明??),2.引用故事,神話傳說,其作用通常為“增強文章的趣味性,吸引讀者”。對偶/使文章節奏鮮明,增強文章的節奏感和韻律美。
表現手法 常見表現手法答題套路
對比/**和**形象鮮明的對比,突出人物(事物)??的特點。象征/使文章立意高遠,含蓄深刻。伏筆/對就俺要出現的**時間做暗示,為情節發展做鋪墊。
照應/使文章結構嚴謹,令主題更加鮮明,使文章(故事情節)更加嚴密 烘托,渲染/常用來表現環境,營造氛圍,抒發感情,突出主題。PS1:
(一)如果文章較短,可以先瀏覽文章,再讀后面所設問題;如若文章較長,可先讀所設問題,然后再回過頭來閱讀文章。
(二)讀文章時,要掌握其大意并重視短文中開頭和結尾的段落或句子的含義。因為它們往往是文章中心的概括和總結。同時還要注意事情的起因、過程、結果及發生的時間、地點等細節性的問題。這些信息對于你做測試文章事實、細節理解等測試題是必不可少的。
(三)做后面的題時,我們通常采用下面的方法:
①客觀性試題可以直接選定。這類題往往比較簡單,通讀一下文章就可以解答出來。
②釋義題。這類題要求對文中的個別詞、詞組或句子作出解釋。做這類題一定要在理解全文大意的基礎上,判斷詞語在文中的確切含義,千萬不能脫離原文進行解釋。
③總結概括題。這類題要求在閱讀和理解全文的基礎上對文章的中心思想作出總結、概括和評價。做這類題要對作者的論述意圖、觀點作進一步剖析,不能斷章取義。
④推理判斷題。這類題不能從文章中直接找到答案,須對文章進行深層理解,分析事物的內在矛盾及其發展趨勢、人物性格和內心活動等。我們可以從以下幾個方面進行推理判斷:a.根據常識去推理;b.根據計算推理判斷;c.根據文章的情節或細節進行判斷。
(四)復讀文章,核對答案。這是最后一步,千萬不可忽視。重讀文章,驗證答案,確保無誤。
PS2:
一、巧用信息整體把握
閱讀過程本身就是獲取信息的過程,閱讀質量的高低取決于捕捉信息的多少。要瀏覽一下問了哪些問題,從題目的選項中揣度出文章大概主旨是什么。如果是小說,則要主語其人物、情節等,如果是議論文,則要著重把握論點、論據、論證等要素。了解作者的主要寫作意圖后再整體把握全文,對解題也就心中有數了。
二、確定區域圈點勾畫
閱讀大段文章主要用精讀的方法,需逐字逐句推敲揣摩,故平時練習要養成圈點勾畫、多做記號的習慣,可以先看題目涉及到文中哪些段落或區域,和哪些語句有關。確定某一答題區域后,再仔細弄懂這一段每一句的意思,進而理清段落之間的關系,了解行文思路。
三、注意摘取原文
準確解答閱讀題最重要最有效的方法是在原文中找答案。大多數題目在文章里是能夠“摳”出答案的。當然,找出的語句不一定能夠直接使用,還必須根據題目要求進行加工,或摘取詞語或壓縮主干或抽取要點或重新組織。即使是歸納概括整段整篇文意也必須充分利用原文。
第四篇:第一講_高中英語閱讀理解-事實細節題
閱讀
第1講
事實細節題
細節理解題是高考英語閱讀理解中占比重最大的一類題型, 這類題旨在考查考生對事實細節的理解。主要針對who, what, which, why, how, when, where等來提問, 可能只針對文章中某一特定的細節, 也可能涉及若干個細節。
【考綱解讀】
1.從近幾年實施細節題的考查來看,不僅是數量增加,而且難度也稍有增加,表現為:答案需要跨段落搜集信息;題目設置順序與全文順序不一致;題目信息與原文信息表達方式不一致。
2.以考查語言運用能力為主,考查語言知識為輔,考查的側重點將向語篇能力的運用方面傾斜,要求考生運用自己的綜合能力和知識結構去解題。
【命題規律】
考查理解文章主要細節的試題,命題人一般都是通過對文章細節加以改寫來考查準確理解細節的能力。
細節題有可能是直接理解題,但多數情況下是間接理解題。要求在理解的基礎上,通過思維將理解的內容系統化,條理化,比如計算,排序,選圖等。
【命題趨勢】
事實細節題呈增多趨勢。題目將由簡單的尋找信息轉向多層次細節推理綜合,答案需要跨段落搜集信息,單純考查事實細節的題不太多。
【常考點清單】
1.Which of the following is true/false/mentioned? 2.What does the writer pay least attention to? 3.Choose the right order of the events given in the passage? 4.All of the following statements may be true/false except…..5.Which of the following is not the result of….?
【重點難點】 1.語義轉換
[技巧點撥] 雖然說細節題的答案一般可以在文章中直接或間接地找到, 但是與閱讀材料一模一樣的正確選項是幾乎沒有的。而是用不同的詞語或句型表達相同的意思, 即語意轉換。解題時注意以下幾點:
1.順序性原則:一般說來, 題序與其題眼在文章中的順序相同。如第53題的答案信息會在第52題的答案信息之后。2.定位信息點:通過尋讀法(scanning), 用題干中的關鍵詞在文中搜索, 迅速確定相關詞句或

第五篇:高中英語閱讀理解中猜詞題的解題技巧
高中英語閱讀理解猜詞題的解題技巧
摘要:本文針對高中閱讀理解中的猜詞題介紹了幾種做題方法,并列舉了一些實例進行了分析。
關鍵詞:猜詞題 猜詞義 做題方法
在英語學習中,我們會遇到許多生詞。這時,也不必立即翻閱字典。我們可以利用語境,根據前后詞、句子、以及相關信息推測、判斷生詞的詞義。
高中英語閱讀理解題中,我們經常碰到猜測詞義的題型。在做這類題時,我們可以利用以下一些方法:
一 根據解釋猜詞義
在文章中,作者為了更好的表達思想,對一些重要的概念、難懂的術語或詞匯等要進行進一步的更明確的解釋。這些解釋提供的信息具有明確的針對性,我們可以利用它們比較容易地猜出詞義。
1、根據定義猜測詞義
如果句子或段落是生詞的定義,理解句子或段落本身就是詞語的含義。例如:The rooster is the national emblem of France thanks to a wordplay: the Latin word 其實是對coq解釋,因此兩者的意思都為cock。
2、根據同位語、定語猜測詞義
雖然同位語、定語不如定義那樣嚴謹、詳細,但是提供的信息足以使閱讀者猜出生詞詞義。例如,同位語in fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S.today.此例中,我們不難看出an endangered wild cat是ocelot 的同位語,也不難看出ocelot的意思。在構成同位關系的兩部分之間多用逗號連接,有時也使用破折號、冒號、分號、引號和括號等。又如Towards the evening, there comes the grand of the opening day ,an extremely exciting horserace.從an exciting horserace ,towards the evening ,of the opening day 等判斷,應該是首日的最后一場的壓臺戲出場了。需要注意的是:同位語前還常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i.e.等副詞或短語出現。在定語從句There small …中,根據從句which make whisky 可以判斷distillery 是a place where wine is made。
3、根據舉例猜測詞義
恰當的舉例能夠提供猜測生詞的重要線索,例如:his family took him ,as a boy, hunting and fishing trips and so made him know early the kinds of courage and endurance, which were later shown in his stories.句中“courage ”和“endurance(忍耐)”是生詞的實例,通過它們我們可以猜出virtues的大致詞義“good quality(美德)”。
二 根據上下文內在關系猜詞義
根據上下文內在關系猜詞義是指運用語言知識分析和判斷相關信息之間存在的邏輯關系,然后根據邏輯關系推斷生詞詞義或大致義域。這也是在完型填空題中常用的方法。
1、根據上下文的情景猜測詞義
如:But Portam didn’t find modeling very interesting and instead tried to gain a … …”我們根據上文“…tried to gain a career in acting”說明追求表演有了結果,所以debut應該是“首次登臺表演”的意思。再如Lack of parent willpower may contribute more to exercising or overeating,根據more…than under-exercising or overeating 等語境可判斷“juvenile obesity” 意為”childhood overweight”。
2、根據對比關系猜測詞義
在一個句子或段落中,有對兩個事物或現象進行對比性的描述,我們可以根據生詞或難詞的反義或近義關系的詞進行猜測。例如:Another suggestion for 根據famous brands 可以輕易給generic items(一般商品)下定義。
3、根據因果關系猜測詞義
在句子或段落種,若兩個事物、現象之間構成因果關系,我們可以根據這種邏輯關系 推知生詞詞義。例如: The survey also show … …elements which are ——magnesium, copper, calcium, iron and zinc.我們根據上文 “…after a study revealed that unscientific ways of feeding babies and a lack of trace elements are the two biggest threats to youngsters’ health.”可以看出這“五種元素”對孩子的身體發展是重要的。所以crucial 的意思應和important接近。
4、根據同義詞的替代關系猜測詞義
在句子或段落中,我們可以利用熟悉的詞語,根據語言環境推斷生詞詞義。例如:tens of thousands of tourists visit New York every year.The tourists come to see buildings應該是skyscrapers的同義詞,有替代關系。
三 根據外部相關因素猜詞語
外部相關因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知識。我們在依靠分析篇章的上下文內在關系無法猜出詞義時,就需要運用生活經驗和普通常識來確定詞義。例如:Book lovers of all ages say the best thing about winter is cuddling up under a blanket with a warm drink in one hand and a good novel in the other.從under a blanket可以常識性地得出“看書” 的狀態應該是躺著,所以應選擇“to lie close and comfortably” 選項。又如:One night, six of us decided to borrow bikes from the hotel 根據six of us和only three bikes,在聯系到double的本義 “雙”,就可以判斷“double up” 意思為“to share a bike” 即兩人合騎一輛自行車。我們還可以依靠構詞法方面的知識,從生詞(派生詞或復合詞)本身猜測詞義,即根據派生詞的前綴后綴,或根據復合詞的各部分的意思猜測詞義等。
總之,利用各種已知信息進行推測、判斷詞義是一項重要的做閱讀理解題,乃至完型填空題的方法,也是我們平時閱讀文章時運用的常用技能。我們可以靈活地綜合運用上面提到的幾種解題方法,排除生詞的障礙,順利地理解文章的思想內容,提高閱讀速度,以及做出相關的題型。
