阅读理解技巧及练习

阅读理解解题技巧和专项练习

最近几年，中考阅读的题材走向多元化、材料的时代气息更浓，更贴近生活实际，而且注重文化背景和对学生综合的能力考查。

一、做好阅读理解，应具备五种能力

１、快速的浏览能力。把短文从头至尾读一遍，初步了解大意和时态。

２、巧妙的猜词能力。精读，考虑上下句之间的联系，判断个别生词的含义。 ３、独立的分析能力。对难度稍大的问题，要反复精读短文，认真分析，找出答案。

４、准确捕捉主题句的能力。根据问题划出短文中与之有关的句子，以便正确做题。

５、合乎逻辑的判断能力。对短文中没有明确答案的问题，要根据短文内容，通过认真分析推断，做出合乎逻辑的判断。

二、做好阅读理解，应分“四步”走。 1、细读题干，心中有数。

首先分清问题的类型，客观性题目从文中直接可以找到答案；主观性题目考查的是考生对文章的深层理解，是作者未加陈述的观点，以及贯穿全文的中心主旨的理解。只有了解题干以及各个选项包含的信息，才能有针对性的对课文扫读、定位、分析。

2、速读全文，了解大意。

抓主题句是快速阅读的主要方法，而主题句一般在文章的开头或结尾。在速读时要注意发现与问题有关的信息，重点扫视一下起首段和尾段，把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。

3、细读原文，捕捉信息。

抓住六个\。边读边用铅笔做标记，把Who（谁），When（时间），Where（地点），What (事件)， Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。

抓住六个“W”。就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。

抓住关键词。起关键作用的词对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。领会文章寓意。在实际阅读时，要根据字面的意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓意。

初选答案。仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。明显的，有把握的题断然确定；略难的题，查阅短文，找出依据，予以排除；注意上下文之间的关系，综合推理及至计算，归纳出正确答案；在阅读时应该注意与问题相关的同义词，近义词，反义词或同位词等信息词来得出正确答案。

4、认真复查、避免失误。这是最后一步，也是最重要的一步。我们确定答案后，要将原文读一遍，用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。

例题：

December 25, 2004 Dear Rose, How are you? I like your programmes very much. They're very interesting and I can learn a lot from them. I like travelling and I have won a free four-week trip to England, but I know little about the British way of life. Would you please write to tell me something about the British meals? Thank you. Yours, Wang Lin January 1, 2005 Dear Wang Lin, It's very helpful to know something about the British meals before travelling. In many English houses, people eat four meals a day. They are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Breakfast takes place at any time from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. They usually have eggs, bread with butter(黄油), cheese and so on. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o'clock. It can be a hamburger or a three-course (三道菜) meal. Afternoon tea is between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Dinner begins at about half past seven. The first course is soup. The next is often meat or fish with vegetables. Then come fruits of different kinds: apples, pears, bananas and so on. But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. And all these meals are usually simple. Wish you a good time in England! Yours, Rose 1. Wang Lin wrote to ______.

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to

people,

finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.

People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are: BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)

People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:

info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second)

We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流） on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw \

:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)

These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:

(happy) (sad) (angry) (cool)

There are even whole new words, like \or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called \theperson.

It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people

what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change. 1. Why do people type acronyms?

A. To show their feelings. B. To make jokes. C. Because people can type them quickly.

D. In this way newbies won't understand them. 2. What does, BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( mean? A. The person is happy about getting a new computer. B. The person has to go away from their computer. C. The person is angry at somebody.

D. The person is sad that his computer is having problems. 3. If someone is angry, what may he type?

A. B. C. LOL D. BRB.

4 E-talk will probably____________

A. keep changing B. stay the same

C. be used by people on the telephone D. be easy for new bies to understand 5. The best title for this passage is________

A. E-talk B. Picture Feelings C. How to Use Abbreviations D. The Changing Internet

More and more advertisements appear on the Web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked(欺骗) by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain, but it isn’t always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside.

However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable(时尚的) thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3, I can choose my favourite one, and look for what the users like or don’t like about it, then decide whether to buy or not. And at the same time, you don’t have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area, so you don’t have to waste much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much. 1. If you want to shop online, you should ________.

A. spend too much B. always believe the advertisements C. never believe the advertisements D. be careful not to be fooled 2. What does the writer think of the advertisements online?

A. They’re always true.

B. They’re not useful.

C. They’re sometimes false(虚假的). D. They’re always fashionable. 3. What does the underlined word “bargain” in the passage probably mean?

A. 谈判

B. 协议

C. 贵重物品 D. 便宜物品

4. What does the writer often buy online?

A. So-called new things. B. Things like an MP3. C. So-called cheap things D. Things like a house. 5. If you shop online, you________.

A. can save time

B. have to waste time G

Where is Love? How can we find Love?

Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. Once again she smiled. The boy was very happy.

C. have to get expensive things D. can only buy things with a new outside

They sat there all afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy (快乐)on his face and asked what had made him so happy. \Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.\

At the same time, the old woman's son was also surprised at his mother's pleasure and asked why.

\ate a pizza in the park with love, \said, \he is much younger than I expected.\

“Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid (避免) hitting other vehicles (车辆) or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk.

“It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot — pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.

“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.

“The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey (遵守) them, we should not have accidents any more.”

1 . The main idea of the story is ________________________.

A. obeying the rules of the road can keep you from having accidents

You may not realize it , but you are doing much more than just studying , when you are at school . School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people . But this is not always easy . What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates ?

If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends , the most important thing to learn is tolerance (宽容). Tolerance is the ability (能力)to realize and respect (尊重) the differences in others . We can not change the way that other people do , so it is important to learn to live happily with them .

Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other . Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently . Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad . Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind .

You need to remember an old saying , “Treat others how you want to be treated ” . You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates , so it is important to treat them kindly too . If you tolerate (宽容) something , it does not mean that you have to like it . No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in . Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change .

It is important to practice tolerance , because it will make everyone’s lives easier . Learn to accept (接受) people for their different abilities and interests . The world is very different , and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference . 1．What does the writer think of school ?

At school students can not only study but also 2．It’s important for you to get to know others . What can it help you ?

It can help us 3．How can you get along well with your classmates ?

4．Must you change yourself or others if you tolerate something ?

5．Why is tolerance important ?
