初中英語閱讀理解的解題技巧

./學生詩敏年級初二授課時間8月11教師鐘映容課時2h閱讀理解的解題技巧一、閱讀理解是中考英語能力測試的重點項目之一。課程改革后,閱讀理解題型變得更多、更廣、更新。不僅涉及的面廣,其中包括社會、體育、生活、傳說、人物、文化、史地、科技、政治、經(jīng)濟等廣泛容,而且題型多樣。閱讀理解文章的體裁主要有三類：敘述文、說明文和議論文。1、敘述文敘述文一般以講述個人生活經(jīng)歷為主,對于經(jīng)歷的述通常由一定的時間概念貫穿其中,或順序或倒序。但是在考試中一般不出現(xiàn)單純的敘述文,因為單純的敘述文比較簡單、易懂。所以中考中的敘述文大多是夾敘夾議的文章。2、說明文〔描述文說明文的一般結構模式和敘述文的結構模式有相通之處即：提出問題〔或以一個事例引出問題發(fā)現(xiàn)直接原因分析深層原因得出結論或找到出路。3、議論文議論文模式是主反主模式。在這一模式中,作者首先提出一種普遍認可的觀點或某些人認可的主或觀點,然后進行澄清,說明自己的主或觀點,或者說提出反主或真實情況。議論文的這種結構特點決定了它的主要題型是作者觀點態(tài)度題,文章主旨題以及推理判斷題。閱讀理解的題型主要有主觀性題型和客觀性題型。前者主要包括主旨型、推理型、作者語氣、態(tài)度型、結論型等。后者主要包括事實型、推測詞義型、指代關系型、常識題、是非題等。二、閱讀理解的幾種題型及應試對策1.細節(jié)理解題。它是針對文章中的細節(jié)而設計的,如文章中某一個特定的細節(jié),也可能涉及若干個細節(jié),或者針對文章的主要事實,或利用圖表、圖形來表示信息等。要求學生根據(jù)對短文的理解,直接選擇正確答案,一般在通讀短文后可直接找出答題依據(jù),難度較小,屬淺層理解題。細節(jié)類問題的命題方式有以下幾種：<1>

WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaccordingtotheinformationinthepassage?〔根據(jù)文章信息,下面哪個是不真的？<2>

Whichofthefollowingismentionedinthepassage?〔下面的哪一個在文章中提到了？<3>Whatistheexampleof...asdescribedinthepassage?〔文章中描述的例子是什么<4>Theauthormentionsallofthefollowingexcept...〔作者提到了以下的所有事項,除了……<5>Thereasonfor...is...〔什么的原因是……<6>Theauthorstatesthat...〔作者述的觀點是……<7>Accordingtothepassage,when<where,why,how,who,etc.>..〔根據(jù)文章,提問關于時間、地點、原因、形式和誰等的問題2.推測詞義題。也就是要正確理解短文中個別關鍵詞,可利用同義詞、近義詞及給定義等方法推測詞義,甚至在通篇理解的基礎上推測并發(fā)現(xiàn)所給生詞的詞義。這需要有意識地訓練并最終具備這種不用字典而通過上下文來認識生詞的能力。3.推理判斷題。要求在通篇理解文章的基礎上,以文章提供的事實為依據(jù),將已表述的和隱含的信息結合起來進行思考、分析,透徹理解全文,以領會作者的真正意圖,從而做出正確的推理和判斷,切不可憑空想象,主觀臆斷。1、讀懂原文,抓住關鍵詞、短語、句子或段落,透徹理解文章容注意文章結構層次和邏輯關系,并結合閱讀材料外的有關生活、社會常識,仔細斟酌,作出準確的推斷和引申。2、熟悉常用的設問方式：1>Wecaninfer/concludefromthepassagethat______.〔通過文章我們可推斷出什么結論2>Itcanbeinferred/concluded<fromthepassage>that________.3>Thepassage/story/author/paragraphimplies,butdoesnotdirectlystatethat_______.〔文章暗示,但沒有直接表述的觀點是4>Theauthorstronglysuggeststhat________________.5>Whatdoyouthinkwouldhappen<to…>attheendofthestory?4.歸納概括題。要求在理解全文后歸納短文要點,概括中心意思。不少文章一開頭便展示出文章的主題。尤其是新聞報道之類的,第一段通常是故事的梗概,這一段往往表達了文章的中心涵義。在文章的段落中往往由開頭的一句作為主題句<topicsentence>來概括該段的中心意思。但在不少文章或段落中,中心思想貫穿在全文中。此類題主要針對的主題、中心思想、文章的結構層次〔主題句或題段、作者的寫作目的<purpose>等方面,要求考生在準確理解全文后,歸納短文要點、概括中心思想,也分析和歸納段落大意、重要情節(jié)、人物特征和環(huán)境特點等。解題技巧：領會全文大意,靈活運用概念、判斷、歸納、推理等邏輯方法,真正理解文章的話題和中心思想。一般而言,英語文章的話題往往用很少幾個詞加以概括,通常具體反映在文章的題目或一段短文的小標題上；不少文章一開頭便展示出文章的主題,特點是新聞報道,第一段通常是故事的梗概<leadparagraph>,這一段往往表達了文章的中心思想,但也要注意,不少文章的中心思想也常貫穿于全文之中；主題段通常在文章簡要概括文章中心思想,而主題句<topicsentence>常在一段的開頭,也有可能在段中或段末。這類題常見的命題方式有：〔1Whatisthemainidea<subject>ofthispassage?〔2Whatdoesthispassagemainlytalkabout?〔3Themainthemeofthispassageis___________.〔4Themainpointofthepassageis__________.〔5Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthepassage?〔6Thetitlethatbestexpressesthethemeofthepassageis___________.〔7Thepurposeofthewriterinwritingthispassage_________.〔8Whichofthefollowingbestdescribesthepassageasawhole?〔9推斷作者的寫作意圖〔PurposeTheauthor'spurposeinwritingthispassageisto________.這類題要求閱讀時不但要看懂個別的句子,而且要能夠根據(jù)作者思路的展開,把握作者在整篇文章中的觀點,因此,必須看懂全篇文章的意思5.圖示理解題。根據(jù)文章容提供一幅或幾幅畫<地圖、示意圖或其他圖形>,對某種圖形進行選擇或判斷。6.計算理解題。需要進行一定的運算或推算,才能做出正確的解答。這不僅需要對細節(jié)了解清楚,而且需要了解各細節(jié)之間的關系,即部分與整體之間的聯(lián)系。三、答題的基本步驟1.先看問題,再讀文章：帶著問題閱讀短文,確定主攻方向,特別要注意首尾段和首尾句,把握文章的主題和用戶服務,摘取有用的材料,舍棄無關的信息,有的放矢,高效省時。2.細讀全文,認真推敲：針對題目的要求,細心閱讀與試題有的詞匯、句子或段落,要特別留心一些信息詞,它們既是檢查的重點,也是把握全文意思的突破口。因此必須準確判斷,仔細斟酌,以便選出最佳答案。3.復讀全文,驗證答案：在選出全部答案后,應將答案帶入問題中重讀全文,看前后意思是否貫通,有無矛盾,若前后不一致或意思矛盾,則要考慮重選答案。4、抓細節(jié)、做記號。了解文章主旨后應該細讀文章,并且邊讀邊用鉛筆做些記號,例如把人物、時間、地點等圈出來,看完再回頭找時便一目了然了。對于難一點的題目,要回頭再查閱短文,在文中劃出依據(jù)。四、做閱讀理解題時"五忌"1.忌不帶問題做閱讀理解題時,應先把文章后面所給的考查題瀏覽一遍,然后帶著這些問題進行閱讀。邊閱讀邊選出考查表層情況問題的答案,從而提高閱讀效果。2.忌草率行事在設計理解題時,設計者往往在四個選項中設計出一個似是而非的答案。這樣答案干擾性特別強,容易迷惑考生。如果在發(fā)現(xiàn)一個看似正確答案時就草率定案,往往會掉進設計者設置的"陷阱"里。處理的方法是：對所給四個備選答案進行分析比較,在理解閱讀材料容的基礎上進行去偽存真,方可選出正確答案。3.忌主觀印象少數(shù)閱讀不明確題只需根據(jù)生活常識就可選出答案,而絕大多數(shù)則不然,考生必須按照原文來選定答案。因此,考生在做后一種測試題時,一定要排除自身的生活經(jīng)驗、經(jīng)歷和已有的知識等主觀因素的干擾,按照文章實際反映的情況來選擇答案。4.忌囫圇定案所謂囫圇定案是指考生在未完全讀懂文章時就匆忙定案,結果往往選錯答案。因此,尚未讀懂的地方如果時間允許的話,一定要慢速多讀幾遍,直到讀懂時再定答案。5.忌忽略時間做閱讀理解題時,一定要從整體上控制時間,時間分配根據(jù)文章的難易程度有別。文中一兩處沒弄懂的地方可以暫且放置一邊,等把全部題目做完后,再回頭來處理。因為做完題目后,你的心情相對放松了往往會產(chǎn)生新的思路、新的靈感。即使做完題后時間所剩無幾了,你再把未處理的題猜測一下也不晚,因為你仍然有選對的可能性?？偠灾?雖然掌握了一些閱讀技巧和方法,但要在閱讀理解這一知識板塊取得高分,還必須經(jīng)過堅持不懈的努力。閱讀理解靠的是扎實的語言基礎。俗話說："冰凍三尺,非一日之寒"。扎實的語言基礎來自平時嚴格的基本功訓練和長期的知識積累。只要平時刻苦用功,打下扎實的英語知識基礎,加上掌握了較科學的解題方法,做閱讀理解題就不會太難了?！惨籄noldladyinaplanehadablanket〔毯子overherheadandshedidnotwanttotakeitoff.Theairhostessspoketoher,buttheoldladysaid,"Ihaveneverbeeninaplanebefore,andIamfrightened.Iamgoingtokeepthisblanketovermyheaduntilwearebackonthegroundagain!"Thenthecaptaincame.Hesaid,"Madam,Iamthecaptainofthisplane.Theweatherisfine,therearenocloudsinthesky,andeverythingisgoingverywell."Butshecontinuedtohide.Sothecaptainturnedandstartedtogoback.Thentheoldladylookedoutfromundertheblanketwithoneeyeandsaid,"Iamsorry,youngman,butIdon’tlikeplanesandIamnevergoingtoflyagain.ButI’llsayonething,"Shecontinuedkindly,"Youandyourwifekeepyourplaneveryclean!"1.Anoldladyhad_________.A.glasses
