中考英語閱讀理解技巧與實戰(zhàn)演練(28篇)

中考英語閱讀理解題的實用技巧

1.保持良好的精神狀態(tài)。良好的精神狀態(tài)對于考場上的考生來說非常重要。因

為只有在心理放松的情況下，考生的精力才能夠集中，思維才會敏捷，從而才能

將自己的真實水平發(fā)揮出來。

2.抓住中心句。閱讀短文之前，先看短文是否有標題。若有，應(yīng)給予高度重視。

因為標題是文章主題的高度凝聚，它能給我們啟發(fā)和想象，有利于加深對短文的

理解，從而提高做題效率。另外，在沒有標題的情況下，應(yīng)充分重視短文的首、

尾句。因為大多數(shù)文章都是按照"總一■■分一-總"的結(jié)構(gòu)布局的。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，英語

中有60%-90%的主題句位于段首和段尾，短文的其他文字往往是對這些中心句

的解釋和說明。

3.克服不良習(xí)慣，提高閱讀速度。由于考試的時間有限，在保證不出偏差的前

提下，一定要盡可能地提高閱讀速度。倘若能注意克服以下不良習(xí)慣，就可以大

大提高閱讀速度：①心讀?？紙錾喜荒艹雎曢喿x，于是有的考生就在心里讀，有

時考生的嘴唇也在動。這是非常不好的習(xí)慣，一定要下決心克服。因為這樣做會

直接制約著閱讀速度的提高；②回視（指重新閱讀上文）。閱讀中的回視是一種無

效勞動，所以應(yīng)一口氣把文章讀完，盡量不要回視。這壞習(xí)慣是慢慢形成的，不

是一朝一夕就能克服掉的。在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中就應(yīng)當引起注意并加以克服；③一個

詞一個詞地看。閱讀時，視線應(yīng)從左向右跳躍式移動，著重掃描意群，同時注意

意群中的重要單詞，以尋求主要的語言信息?？蓪⒐谠~、系動詞、助動詞及不定

式符號等小品詞一掃而過，不可一詞不漏地全部都看一遍；④只讀不記。正確的

做法是：一邊閱讀一邊用筆記下或標出那些與文后所設(shè)問題有關(guān)的信息。這樣,

在做題時就用不著重新查閱短文，至少不用一句一句地再尋找那些隱約有印象的

信息，從而可以節(jié)省一些時間。

4.判斷要有依據(jù)，推理要順乎作者的意圖。對于推理性或評價性之類的閱讀理

解題目，在材料中一般是找不到現(xiàn)成答案的，必須通讀全篇，對所獲信息加以篩

選、提煉、推斷，對作者的思想傾向，對文中提及的人物或事件可能產(chǎn)生的結(jié)局

等，加以綜合考慮才能得出正確結(jié)論。對這種題，不能以偏概全，不能"只見樹

木，不見森林"，不能以個人的想法代替作者的意圖。

5.遇到生詞時，一定要沉著、冷靜。中考英語試題中，一般是不會盲目地出現(xiàn)

生詞的，但不排除出現(xiàn)影響答題的生詞，同時也可能出現(xiàn)猜測生詞的題目，因為

猜測詞義也是閱讀能力的體現(xiàn)，當然也在考查范圍之列。遇到這種題目，只要理

解了全篇材料的大部分內(nèi)容，弄清了上、下文之間的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，判斷出它在文中

可能存在的含義是不難的。英語中猜測詞義的方法很多。如：

(1)根據(jù)上、下文進行猜測。這是最重要，也是最常用的方法。有些生詞可以通

過上下文的相關(guān)信息，或根據(jù)同位語，修飾語等猜測詞義。例如：

Thepeoplewhosurvivedtheearthquakecriedbitterlyoverthebodiesof

theirrelatives.

【分析】一般來說，中考"閱讀理解"題中的"詞義猜測"，并不要求考生根據(jù)

構(gòu)詞法去分析單詞的詞義，而是要求考生根據(jù)文中的有關(guān)信息對生詞的詞義進行

推斷性的猜測。聯(lián)系上下文，不難看出：這些人的親屬死了，他們在哭，顯然他

們在地震中"survive"了。這個詞不就是“幸存"之意嗎？可見，這種詞義猜

測也是建立在對上下文的正確理解之上的。又如：

Thepupilsassembledinfrontoftheschoolhall.Theycametogetherto

listentotheheadmasterannouncetheresultofthesportsmeeting.

【分析】下文中的短語cametogether意思是"聚到一起"，由此可以推斷出學(xué)

生們是“聚集到"學(xué)校大廳里聽運動會的結(jié)果的。故該詞的意思是“聚集"。

(2)利用構(gòu)詞法進行猜測。英語的構(gòu)詞法大致可分為派生、轉(zhuǎn)化和合成等。例如：

Mandiffersfrommostfromalltheotheranimalsintheirabilitytolearn

anduselanguages.

【分析】不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本句中的生詞differ跟different是同根詞搭配也是from,

其前有man，其后有animals，根據(jù)這些信息可以斷定動詞differ此處有"和......

不相同"、"與……存在差別"之意。

這里要特別強調(diào)一點，大部分閱讀題目在設(shè)計過程中，已充分考慮到了生詞對答

題的影響。對于那些對答題無關(guān)緊要的生詞，如人名、地名、產(chǎn)品商標名稱或影

視劇目名稱等，一般是不加注漢語的，只要能推斷出那些生詞的類別就可以了，

不必弄清其準確含義。對于那些一時難以斷定其意思又不妨礙理解的生詞，大可

不必理會。

另外，熟詞新義也是應(yīng)當引起重視的。英語詞語往往具有一詞多義，在不同的場

合它所表達的意思就不一定相同。如果僅僅用它的主要或常用的詞義來理解一篇

文章，就可能產(chǎn)生誤解，或者根本無法了解作者的意圖。如果一時間想不起該詞

的其他含義，可根據(jù)上下文來判斷該詞的詞義。特別是那些關(guān)鍵詞，必須仔細推

敲。
