高中英语阅读讲座(一)主讲:宝山中学陈晓红2005-03-27\n讲座主要内容谈谈高中英语阅读1、常见题材2、常见体裁3、测试要求第一讲:阅读中的细节型试题第二讲:阅读中的生词词义猜测\n高中英语阅读常见题材天文地理、科学技术政治历史、文化教育风土人情、生活常识人物传记、新闻报道、、、\n高中英语阅读常见体裁1、记叙文2、说明文3、应用文4、议论文5、图表、、、\n高中英语阅读测试要求1、直接题事实细节文中找切莫自己凭想象2、间接题词语结构同义换生词上下文中猜\n高中英语阅读测试要求3、推理判断题事物发展合逻辑文中寓意细领会4、主旨大意题段落大意需归纳中心思想领全文\n第一讲:阅读中的细节题明确中心内容,把握辨证关系,体会作者意图,判断文章主题。细节孤立无意义,全文呼应有精彩,正确答案文中藏,错误选择怪猜想。\n细节型试题常见提问形式*Accordingtothepassage,when(where,why,how,what,which,howmany,howoften…)*Whichofthestatementsistrue?*Whichofthestatementsisnottrue?*Whichofthestatementsisnotmentionedinthepassage?*Inthepassagethewriterstatesthat…*Whatistherightorderoftheevent?…\n细节型试题的几种解答方法1、词、句转换法不可否认,细节题在文章中一定能找到答案,但是正确选项与文中原句往往不会一模一样,命题者常以释义(paraphrase)或重述(restatement)的形式来设计题目。因此,熟记近义词及词组,熟悉句型转换是正确解答此类题的关键。\n例1:AccordingtoDr.WendyGambleoftheuniversityofArizona,kidsdon’tneedanyinstructionsinlying.Itcomesnaturallytothem.Q:Howdochildrenlearnhowtolie?A.InstructionsfromparentsB.SchooleducationC.SocialexperiencesD.Basicinstinct\nAccordingtoDr.WendyGambleoftheuniversityofArizona,kidsdon’tneedanyinstructionsinlying.Itcomesnaturallytothem.“Itisnotparentsorteachersthatteachchildrenhowtolie.”从最后一句更清楚的知道说谎是天生的,是一种本能,所以正确答案是D。“instinct”即“本能的”的意思。\nAccordingtoDr.WendyGambleoftheuniversityofArizona,kidsdon’tneedanyinstructionsinlying.Itcomesnaturallytothem.Q:Howdochildrenlearnhowtolie?A.InstructionsfromparentsB.SchooleducationC.SocialexperiencesD.Basicinstinct\n例2:Sallyarrivedearly.Asshewalkedaroundtheoldhouse,shecouldn’thelpfeelingsadbecauseofwhatwasabouttohappen.Itwasalmostayearsinceherdeargrandmotherhadpassedawayinthishouseattheageofninety-two.Thefamilyhadverymuchwantedtokeepallherthings.Unfortunately,thefamilybusinesshadfailedandleftthemwithheavydebts.Thebanknowforcedthemtohaveanauctionsaletorepaytheirdebts.Theauctionwastobeheldtoday.\nQ:WhydidSallyfeelsadwhenshecametotheoldhouse?A:Becausehergrandmotherhaddied.B:Becauseherfamilywereinheavydebts.C:Becausesheknewshecouldpayforthequilt.D:Becauseherfamilyhadtosellhergrandma’sbelongings.\nSallyarrivedearly.Asshewalkedaroundtheoldhouse,shecouldn’thelpfeelingsadbecauseofwhatwasabouttohappen.Itwasalmostayearsinceherdeargrandmotherhadpassedawayinthishouseattheageofninety-two.Thefamilyhadverymuchwantedtokeepallherthings.Unfortunately,thefamilybusinesshadfailedandleftthemwithheavydebts.Thebanknowforcedthemtohaveanauctionsaletorepaytheirdebts.Theauctionwastobeheldtoday.\nSally’sgrandmotherhadpassedawayandsheleftallherbelongings.Sally’sfamily’sbusinesshadfailedandtheywereinheavydebts.TheyhadnochoicebuttosellwhatSally’sgrandmahadlefttowhoeverofferedthemostmoneyforit.anauctionsell=sellingsomethingtoapersonwhooffersthemostmoneyforit.Sallyfeltverysad.\nQ:WhydidSallyfeelsadwhenshecametotheoldhouse?A:Becausehergrandmotherhaddied.B:Becauseherfamilywereinheavydebts.C:Becausesheknewshecouldpayforthequilt.D:Becauseherfamilyhadtosellhergrandma’sbelongings.\n2、排除式结构仔细阅读4个选项,带着选项的内容再去阅读短文。一旦遇到与选项相似的信息,马上在这些信息下划线作为排除的内容。排除3项与原文有关的内容后,所剩选项的内容确定在原文中找不到相应信息,即是正确答案。\n常见的排除式结构的提问方式:1.Accordingtothepassage,allofthefollowingaretrueexceptthat…2.Inthepassage,whichofthefollowingstatementsisnottrue?3.Whatisnotmentionedinthepassage?4.Wecaninferfromthepassagethat……\n例3:EveryAugustontheislandofHeimaey,offthesoutherncoastofIceland,youngpeopleoftentakeawalkalongthestreetsthroughoutthenight.What’smore,theirparentsallowthemtostayout.Why?ThechildrenofHeimaeyaregoingtosaveyoungpuffins—smallblackandwhiteseabirds.\nThecliffsabovethetownarehometoalargegroupofpuffins.Thebirdsdigholesallaroundthecliffs.Theseholesaretheirhomes.Theyoungbirdsstayintheholesforaboutsevenweeks.Thentheybegintoleave.SomemoveslowlyontheirundevelopedwingsandfeetdowntothenorthernAtlanticOceanthatsurroundHeimaey.There,theyswim,whichtheycandonaturally,andlearntodiveforfish.Others,however,maylosetheirwayatnightandfindthemselvesinthetowninstead.Ontheground,theyoungseabirdsareintrouble.Becausetheirwingsarenotfullydeveloped,theycannottakeoffquicklytoseaandsafety.Thebirdsthenbecomeagoodmealforcatsandotheranimals.\nFormanyyears,islandershavehelpedtheyoungpuffins.EarlyatnightinthelateAugust,childrencarryingthickpaperboxesandlightshurrytotheseashoretocatchpuffins.Theyspendmostofthenightrunningafterthebirds.Theyputthebirdsthey’vecaughtinboxesandtakegoodcareofthem.Thenextmorningthechildrentakethepuffinstotheoceanandsetthemfree.Thebirdswillliveatseauntiltheyareatleasttwoyearsold.Thentheywillreturntothecliffstobuildhomesoftheirownfortheirfamilies.WillthechildrenofHeimaeyalwayscometosavepuffins?“Yes,”answertheboys.“Welookforwardtoit.Thebesttimeforusissettingthebirdsfree.”\nQ:Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingisnottrue?A.Onceinayearthechildrenareallowedtostayouttohaveagoodtimewithbirds,cats,andanimals.B.Theearliesthomefortheyoungpuffinsisinthecliffs,notinthesandsofbeaches.C.Someyoungpuffinsmaketheirwaydowntotheoceanwhentheyareaboutsevenweeksold.D.Theyoungbirdsthatgettotheseawillstaythereforatleasttwoyears.\nThecliffsabovethetownarehometoalargegroupofpuffins.Thebirdsdigholesallaroundthecliffs.Theseholesaretheirhomes.Theyo

harewas\n4、查阅法学生从文中获得所需信息,有时不需要阅读整篇文章,而只需找出能包含所需信息的那部分,然后加以仔细阅读就行。查阅过程中应注意文章的结构及顺序排列。弄清文章的排列顺序能帮助学生在回答细节问题时做到高效省时,准确无误,所以学生必须掌握扫读的本领,在最短的时间内找到所需的答案。\n查阅法典型题型1、数据推算题要求学生按文章提供的数据,以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单的计算和推算。*要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息的含义。*弄清众多信息中哪些属于有用信息,哪些属于干扰信息。*不要孤立看待数字信息,而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。\n例7:Thefilm“Titanic”received14nominationsforthe70thAcademyAwardanditisnottheonlyonethathasbeengivensuchanhonor.Thefollowingisalistoffilmsreceiving12ormoreAcademyAwardnominationsandthenumberofOscarstheyendedupwinning:\n“Titanic”(1997),14nominations,11awards.“AllAboutEve”(1950),14nominations,6awards.“GonewiththeWind”(1939),13nominations,8awards.“MaryPoppins”(1964),13nominations,5awards.“Who’sAfraidofVirginiaWoolf”(1966),13nominations,5awards.\n“ForestGump”(1994),13nominations,6awards.“OntheWaterfront”(1954),12nominations,8awards.“Ben-Hue”(1959),12nominations,11awards.“MyFairLady”(1964),12nominations,8awards.“DanceswithWolves”(1990),12nominations,7awards.“Schindler’sList”(1993),12nominations,7awards.“TheEnglishPatient”(1996),12nominations,12awards.\nQ1:Fromthispassage,welearnthattheAcademyAwardcameintobeingin___.A.1928B.1919C.1927D.1898Thefilm“Titanic”received14nominationsforthe70thAcademyAwardanditisnottheonlyonethathasbeengivensuchanhonor.Thefollowingisalistoffilmsreceiving12ormoreAcademyAwardnominationsandthenumberofOscarstheyendedupwinning:“Titanic”(1997),14nominations,11awards.1997年的“Titanic”是70届,1997—70=1927,由此得出结论该奖项从1927年开始。所以“C”是正确答案。\nQ2:Thelistshowsthat___.A.“Titanic”receivesmoreawardsthananyotherfilm.B.“ForestGump”receivesthefewest

sentence,theword“victimized”means_____.A.toberesponsibleB.tosufferunfairlyC.tobecriticizedD.tobethecauseofthecrime\n“victim”是“受害者”的意思,-ize是“使…化,使成为”的动词后缀,结合起来看,“victimize”是“成了受害者或牺牲品的意思”Inthesentence,theword“victimized”means_____.A.toberesponsibleB.tosufferunfairlyC.tobecriticizedD.tobethecauseofthecrime\n例20:Finally,renewableenergysourcesareusedeventhoughtheyareoftenexpensivetodevelop.Oneformoftheseisgeothermalenergy.Incertainpartsoftheworldthetemperatureoftheearthincreasesthirtydegreescentigradewitheachkilometerdown.Atsixkilometers,therefore,itrisestonearlytwohundreddegrees.Togettheheat,waterispumpeddownintotherocksandbackuptothesurface.Heatfromtheearthisalreadyusedincertaincountries.\nTheunderlinedwords“geothermalenergy”inthepassagemean_____.A.renewablesourceB.undergroundsourceC.heatinsidetheearthD.temperatureoftheearth\n“geothermal”是个生词,但它有一个典型的英语术语前缀,即geo-(地球,大地)。在高考英语词汇手册中有geography(地理)和geology(地质学)这两个词。常见的还有:geochemistry(地球化学),geodynamics(地球动力学),geophysics(地球物理学),等等。\nFinally,renewableenergysourcesareusedeventhoughtheyareoftenexpensivetodevelop.Oneformoftheseisgeothermalenergy.Incertainpartsoftheworldthetemperatureoftheearthincreasesthirtydegreescentigradewitheachkilometerdown.Atsixkilometers,therefore,itrisestonearlytwohundreddegrees.Togettheheat,waterispumpeddownintotherocksandbackuptothesurface.Heatfromtheearthisalreadyusedincertaincountries.\n这个词与地球、地质有关。而且下文又介绍说,在地球上的某些地方每深入地下1公里,地温就升高30度。在结尾处,作者还说,地热在有些国家已得到了利用。由此可见,geothermalenergy是一种产自地下的热能。A.renewablesourceB.undergroundsourceC.heatinsidetheearthD.temperatureoftheearth\nExEveryoneknowsthatcollegestudentsdrinkwineinparttoescapethepressureofstudying.Drinkingisagoodwaytoforgetaboutchemistryorcompositionforawhile,right?Well,thisgeneralizationmaynotbetrue.Drs.ElizabethParkerandRonaldAlkanaranexperimentsshowingthatethanol—purebooze—mightaidmemoryifitistakeninmoderateamountsimmediatelyafterlearningsomething.Atleastthatiswhatseemstohavehappenedwithdrinkingmice:theyrememberedanelectricshockforanaverageof110secondslongerthantheirsoberfriends.Soifalcoholaffectshumanbeingsasitdoesmice,wemayonedaybedrinkingtorememberratherthantoforget.Asisusedinthepassage,theword“sober”canbedescribedas____.A.drunkB.notdrunkC.awakeD.sleepy\nEveryoneknowsthatcollegestudentsdrinkwineinparttoescapethepressureofstudying.Drinkingisagoodwaytoforgetaboutchemistryorcompositionforawhile,right?Well,thisgeneralizationmaynotbetrue.Drs.ElizabethParkerandRonaldAlkanaranexperimentsshowingthatethanol—purebooze—mightaidmemoryifitistakeninmoderateamountsimmediatelyafterlearningsomething.Atleastthatiswhatseemstohavehappenedwithdrinkingmice:theyrememberedanelectricshockforanaverageof110secondslongerthantheirsoberfriends.Soifalcoholaffectshumanbeingsasitdoesmice,wemayonedaybedrinkingtorememberratherthantoforget.Asisusedinthepassage,theword“sober”canbedescribedas____.A.drunkB.notdrunkC.awakeD.sleepy\nThankYouGoodBye
