2010年沈阳中考英语阅读理解、简答题教案
1、细节题型。
【提问方式】Wh-特殊问句; From the text...,According to...,True/not true,划线词语、句子,简单计算、排列事件顺序、识图等。
【解题方法】抓住提问中的关键字眼,仔细阅读相关细节的材料内容,一般可以在短文中直接找到或稍加归纳就可以找到正确答案。
●题干+正确选项的信息值等于或者约等于原文中某句的信息值;
●体现中心思想的核心名词,一篇试题的细节与主旨核心名词沾边是首选。
题干中的标识语是快速寻找答题依据的“路标”,最常见的就是用引号标识的关键词或标明了标识语所在的具体行数。
干扰选项的特点:
●部分正确,部分错误;
●是原文信息,但是不是题目要求的内容;
●符合常识,但不是文章内容;
●与原句的内容极为相似,只是在程度上有些变动。
★ 注意排除下列干扰项:
<1>.扩缩范围
文章为了表达得准确严密,很注意对范围的限定。有的是通过加上相应的词语限制 ,如涉及到数量时常用many,almost all,nearly,more than,over,only a few,normally 等限制. 有些干扰项是通过改变或去掉限定词语,甚至是扩大或缩小了语言范围。
<2>.偷换概念
命题者设计试题时往往把原文的概念偷换成另一个不同的概念。望文生义是造成错误的主要原因。
<3>.正误并存
在一干扰项中,某个句子或词语是正确的,其他分句或词语是错误的或表达不全面,正误并存,命题者借此以假乱真。要排除这类干扰项,只要一个选项局部有误或选项不全面,都属排除的干扰项。
你可以在回答问题的时候同时把答案的相应部分用笔标出来,这样的好处有两个,一是提高准确率,二是当你觉得哪个答案有可能有误差的时候可以只针对那句话和它的上下文来判断,不必阅读整篇文章。
2、主旨大意题型。
【提问方式】What' s the topic/subject of the text/the second paragraph?
What is stated in...? The text is cheifly concerned with_______.
【解题方法】
(1)最常用的方法是仔细研读短文的1、2 两句-----即短文的主题句,或辅以阅读各段的第1、2句----即段落中心句。此方法多适用于说明文、议论文。
(2)记叙文等需要通读全文,抓住关键事或论题来归纳意思(常说明一个道理)。
(3)全文末尾(段)找答案。此类文章的特点是 以列举事实开头,通过论证,最后阐述核心观点。
在处理文章标题的选择时,要避免下列三种错误:
① 概括不够(多表现为部分代整体,从而导致范围太小);
② 过度概括(多表现为人为扩大范围);
③ 以事实或细节代替抽象具体的大意。
寻找主题句(topic:sentence)从而抓住全段的中心思想。一般说来,主题句常见位置是段首第一句或第二句,但也有可能在段尾或段中。
●不管它出现在文章的什么位置,都作为最后一道题去做,因为做完其他题以后会对主旨的理解有帮助;
●着重理解首末段,首末句;
●主旨在文章中间的情况(非文首文尾),遇到文章前后段意思转折,提高警惕。
概括全文寻找文章的中心思想。寻找整篇文章的中心思想是建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的,各段落中心句的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。 ·
主旨题的注意事项:
●概括的、抽象的、与中心思想核心名词沾边的是正确选项。
●段落中出现转折时,该句很可能是主题句;
●作者有意识的反复重复的观点通常是主旨;
●首段出现疑问句时,对该问题的解答就是文章主旨;
●提出文章主旨时常伴有的文字提示:therefore,thus,but,however,in short等等。
选项特点:
●正确选项特点:不出现细节信息;不含过分肯定或绝对意义的词;
●干扰项特点:细节信息明显;过于笼统。
3、推理判断题型。
【解题方法】推断题是考查学生透过文章表面的文字信息进行分析、综合、归纳等逻辑推理的能力。学生不仅要弄懂文章的字面意思,更重要的是要知道文章的潜在涵义。
【注意点】
(1)那些文章中直接陈述的内容不能选,要选择根据文章推理出来的选项。
(2)推理不是凭空猜测,而是立足已知推断未知;作出正确答案时一定要在文中找到依据或理由。
(3)不能以自己的观点代替作者的想法;不要脱离原文主观臆断.
●简单的 具体的不是解,复杂的、概括的、抽象的经常是解;照抄原文的不是解,同义替换的经常是解;合理项经常不是解,不合理项经常是解.字面意义的不是解,深刻含义的可能是解.
●绝对的一般不是解(如must always never the most all only any none entirely)
●含义肯定的一般不是解;含义相互矛盾的经常是解;
●含义不肯定的经常是解.不肯定的词:can could may usually might most more ore less nearly not enough suggest partial。
文章题目百分之八十都会出现在以下三个地方:
1 全文的首段 2 每段的首句 3 全文的末句
换言之,这几处大家一定要读懂、读透。
还有以下给大家总结了一些在阅读当中出现的一些关键的词,这些词周围往往也是比较容易出考题的地方所在。
1. 表示转折关系的:but, however,
2. 表示原因的:because, for
3. 表示结果的:so, so that
4. 一些重要的形容词和短语:important, more than, in surprise
5. 表示强调等感情色彩强烈的词:must, have to,do
6. 表示顺序的词:First……. Second…….. Third……………
★在遇到两个意思很相近的选项时:特别是假设A选项正确,还能推出B选项也正确的时候,究竟选哪个?要选B项!!因为B项的范围包括了A,即B大于A,所以B正确。
★原文、问题、选项三者相比较,重要性最高的是问题!!!其次是选项!!最后是原文!必要性思维——正确选项未必能充分完整地表达原文意思,而只要沾边即可。反之,不沾边的必错!
解的十个特征
1、 体现中心思想(包括段落中心)的是解;
2、 照抄原文的不是解,同义替换的是解;
3、 含义不肯定的是解,如:can could may usually might most more or less be likely to;
含义绝对的不是解: must always never the most all any none
含义相反的是解;
1、 具体的不是解,概括性的、抽象的是解;
2、 带有some的是解:someone somebody sometime something certain;
3、 简单的不是解,复杂的是解,字面意思不是解,含义深刻的是解;
4、 带虚词的解:
another other more either both also beside additional extra different same nearly not enough;
5、 “变化”是解:change delay improve increase;
6、 “重要的、基础的”是解:important necessary essential basis be based on;
7、 二选一:反义项有解;形似项有解;近义项有解

YANG Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat.But
looking at the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official (官员) at the Ministry of Land and Resources (国土资源部).
"Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.
Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares (公顷) of farmland. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal (非法的) land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.
( ) 45. The article seems to tell us that ___________.
A. farmland is in danger
B. countrysides are turned into towns
C. farmland has been sold
D. Chinese cities are grown fast
( ) 46. From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about ____________.
A. China’s development
B. land and resources
C. Chinese people’s life
D. illegal land use
( ) 47. What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A. 120 million hectares.
B. 121.8 million hectares.
C. 2.67 million square kilometres.
D. Millions of square kilometres.

Bad teeth, a heavier body? And now, weaker bones (骨骼). Last week, American scientists found another bad thing about cola: It's bad for our bones, especially women's bones.
Well, if cola is bad for us, you may want other popular drinks, for example, energy drinks (功能饮料). Energy drinks look cool. Their makers say they give you energy and make you better at sports. So, many students drink them before exams to help them stay awake.
But wait. To keep you awake, most energy drinks have a lot of caffeine (咖啡因). They are like a strong cup of coffee or tea. If you drink a lot of them, your heart will beat faster. You will feel nervous. You could also have sleeping problems and find it hard to live without them.
Amanda Smith is a 16-year-old US junior high school student. She drinks one or more energy drinks every day. She started to do this a year ago before dance class. But now, Smith says, "I drink them whenever I feel weak or before a test. I cannot help drinking them."
The energy you get from the drinks helps for only a short time. You may feel good for an hour or so, but then you'll feel worse than before.
( ) 48. What does the writer mainly try to tell us in the reading?
A. Energy drinks keep us awake.
B. Cola is bad for our bones.
C. Energy drinks can be very helpful.
D. Be careful of unhealthy drinks.
( ) 49. How old did Amanda Smith begin to take energy drnks?
A. Sixteen. B. Fifteen. C. Fourteen. D. Thirteen.
( ) 50. Though energy drinks make one feel good at first, it __________.
A. won’t last for long B. looks very cool
C. won’t be bad for us D. gets worse than before
36. A 37. B 38. C 39. B 40. D 41. A 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. A 46. B 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A

阅读下列短文,然后根据意思回答问题。
Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, the summer, or a year, Studying overseas(在国外)can be an exciting experience for many people.
Why do it
Living in another country can help you to learn a language, and about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more about yourself. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume(求职简历). Many companies today want employees(雇员)who speak a second language, or have experienced living or working in another country.
Making the right choice
Once you decide to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study overseas? Do I want to live with roommates, alone or somewhere else?
Getting ready to go
Get your passport and visa(护照与签证)early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about some common customs(普通习俗)in the country that you are going to. Learn about the money. Bring some of it, and a credit card with you.
Once you are there
After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school, and culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write about your feelings in a notebook.

Frank Smith I'm in Grade Two in high school, I have a part-time job in a restaurant. I send dishes for the restaurant on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 :00 a. m. until 4 : 00 p. m. . I get $ 5. 50 an hour. It isn't much money, but I save almost every cent. Because I want to go to a good university, and it needs a lot of money.
Liz Johnson I'm in Grade Three in high school. I have a job as a cashier(收银员 )tn a store. The job pay? well—about $ 6.75 an hour. I work every weeknight after school from 4:00 until 8: 00. I don't have time for homework, and my grades aren't very good this year. But I have to study hard because I want to be a doctor in the future.
Mary Connor It's my first year in college. College is very expensive, so I work in a law(法律 ) office for three hours every weekday afternoon. I get $ 8. 25 an hour. The job gives me good experience because I want to be a lawyer (律师) someday. But I don't want to work every term, I need time to study.
