高考阅读理解精讲

一、正确的英语学习方法才是高考提高分数的关键

在英语教学中，看到很多即将参加高考的同学说自己的英语成绩不理想，点灯熬夜的学习，分数提高却非常缓慢，甚至原地踏步。其实就是教不得其法，学不得其道。掌握英语学习的正确方法至关重要。错误的方法例如，死死记硬背背单词、大海捞针似地看语法书，仅会让考生得到心理的安慰，花掉无数宝贵时间，却收效甚微，开始备考时得多少分，最后的高考也就得多少分，成绩上没有任何提高。

各位考生应该把备考的重点放在整篇卷面分值最高的阅读、完型及作文上。作文一定要达到或接近满分，经由英语水平很高的老师帮学生改过几次作文之后，作文拿接近满分是很容易做到的。完型填空题有一定难度，虽然字数仅相当于一篇阅读题，但分值却高达30分；阅读理解如果考生能掌握正确的解题思路，在考前再配以一定量的高考真题，短期内迅速提高分数完全可以做到。

二、我们平时应该怎么训练阅读理解

选择习题时，应选择全国各省市高考真题，进行练习。每一篇高考阅读理解真题都是最宝贵的备考资源，都是高考命题组反复研究，斟酌的成果，没有哪一套模拟题的难度、命题严谨性、知识点考察的覆盖性能与高考真题媲美。所以，我们要格外加以珍惜、利用。

1、要彻底读懂文章，如何才算彻底读懂文章？

精读过程在中要注意以下几点：

首先，在做题阶段，要先根据文章的上下文，猜测文章中生词的意思，之后做完题目，再通过查字典对每一个生词都加以记牢。注意，在高考真题中出现过的单词都是命题人认为非常重要的单词，这些单词会在以后的考试中反复加以考察，

其次，要正确理解文章中每一句话的含义。要读懂文章中的长句，难句，分析句子成分，主、谓、宾、定、状、补。这就需要扎实的高中语法功底。

之后，单单达到读懂文章的每一句话这种程度还远远不够，很多同学虽然能读懂文章，但是做不对题，这是大多数同学的通病。其原因是，对文章还是没

有了熟于心。所以，在读懂文章之后，还要做以下几项工作：

(1)、概括文章的主要内容。

(2)、找出文章的中心思想，作者的写作目的，写作意图。

(3)、给全文划分层次和结构，并理清层次与层次之间的关系，上一段与下一段的关系，前一段与后一段的关系，开头和结尾的关系等等。归纳文章写作的几种结构，比如，时间的先后顺序；事情发展的先后顺序；空间转移的顺序；总—分—总关系；总—分关系；先叙事，后抒情；夹叙夹议；论点—论据和论证—论点。

大家注意：光读完文章，对一遍答案，把做错的题改正过来，这通常是做阅读理解的菜鸟，分数最多平均往上。如果能读过文章之后，概括文章的主要内容和中心思想，这通常是一个做阅读理解的高手，他错题通常4-5个。如果既能归纳文章的主要内容、中心思想，又能给文章划分层次和结构，并且理清各个层次和结构之间的关系，那恭喜你，你就达到阅读理解的最高境界了，通常题目一个都不会错。

2、要对所做题目大彻大悟，如何才算大彻大悟？

在彻底读懂文章之后，还要仔细揣摩作者出题的思维方式和命题角度，這是在彻底读懂文章之后，答对题的关键。实际教学中，很多同学都忽略了这个仔细研究高考真题的过程，草草做完真题，对完答案，对自己做对的题和做错的题都不求甚解，不仔细加以研究。这样下去，无论你做多少的练习，成绩都无法提高。

3、要做到持之以恒。

如果按照以上所说方法，几十篇真题下来，就会有很大效果，几百篇的真题下来，相信高考的阅读理解题型就会胸有成竹了。也许有些同学会认为，这样做练习会养成答题速度慢的坏习惯。注意，在平时的答题过程中，要掌握答题速度，但是在做题之后的分析、研究过程中，一定要放慢速度，做一篇，大彻大悟一篇，在不断的积累过程中，收获正确的答题方法。用以上方法，同样适用于完型填空。如果坚持这样正确的学习方法，每周做1篇完型填空，2篇阅读理解，每两周做1篇短文改错，高中3年下来，就会积累近150篇完型填空，300篇阅读理解，80篇短文改错。这就是水滴石穿，日积月累的威力。如果能达到这样的练习量，这三块题型，分数不会少于70分。

阅读理解答题技巧

第一、事实题细节题——“鹦鹉学舌”。即根据文章中作者的思路和意图来做题，不要自己主观臆断。阅读理解试题中大部分题型都是对文章细节，段落事实的考查。这类题目的分值在阅读理解中所占的比重是最高的，一般在60%左右。因此把握住这类题目的技巧是阅读理解题得到高分的基础。

事实细节题可分为两类，一类是直接考查文中的事实细节：这类题目的特征是一对一，考生不用排除其他选项，只需在文中找到正确选项即可。答题时，考生在文章中快速检索答案，文章中说什么，就直接选什么，这类题往往是白送分的题，占的比重很少。如果命题人想加点难度的话，会把文中的意思在答案中变换一种说法，但是意思不变，这类题目较多，大家要注意。另一类是判断正误题。这类题需要考生掌握文中的信息，对所列出的选项作出判断。如果题目中出现“TRUE,NOT TRUE”，“RIGHT,NOT RIGHT”或“MENTIONED,NOT MENTIONED”，也就是“3正1误或者3误一正”，经常可以使用排除法，挑出其中与文章不符的一项即可，既快又准确。

第二、猜测词意题——“瞻前顾后”。做此类题时不能只注重词语的表面意思，或是单凭自己的印象来做题，而是要回归原文，注重语境和情境，这样即使是面对不认识或不太理解的词语也不会束手无策。

第三、推理判断题——“去伪存真”。这类题目的设置经常使用“What can we infer from the text？”，“What can we know…？”或“What does the passage mainly talk about？”等设问，难点在于可能有多个选项都是正确的，解决此类题的关键是“去伪存真，”排除看似正确却不符合题意的选项。

第四、选择标题——“切中主题”。此类题型考查考生对文章的领悟和概括能力。所选文章题目应能涵盖文章内容，体现主题，即不能“太大”，也不可“太小”或过于片面。

高考阅读理解题正确答案特征

阅读理解的正确答案的选项，被混在其他三个干扰项中，考生应该在阅读文章后，做题目时，对命题人的陷阱应该了熟于心，这样才不会走入命题人给你精心设计的陷阱。

换句话说，正确的答案项往往以与文章相关的内容不同的词，不同的结构，不同的语义关系表现出来的。尽管意思一致，但语言形式相差很大。有时可以这样说，表面文字越相似，越不可能是答案。因选项的特点，以及它与文章相关句。的语义关系，对于我们既快又准地找到正确答案大有帮助。根据正确答案的性质和特点，我们可把正确的答案分成两大类。

一、直接性答案（一对一在文章中检索）

直接性答案是指这种答案可在文章中直接找到相关的证据。它表现为下列几种：

1．答案项使用原文的语言（阅读理解最简单的题）

答案项的单词基本上和原文相关句的单词一模一样。

例如：2010年安徽A，第2题，选项B，就是使用原文的语言设计正确选项，通常这样的题，都是白送分的题，但是分值比例不会大。

例如：2010年湖南A，第1题，选项D，也使用原文的单词，设计正确的选项，大家注意，往往这种白送分的题目，都是阅读理解头一篇文章或第二篇文章，白送分，让大家逐渐进入状态，这是命题人考虑，为了不一开始就出现难题，从而打击到一部分考生。第三题和第四题也是这种情况，使用原文一模一样的单词。

2010年湖南B，第1题，选项A，是文章的原话。

2．答案项使用原文的同义词语

正确选项与原文相关句的句子结构一样，只是换了意思相同的词。

2010年湖南A，第2题，选项C，是把原文的heart attack心脏病换成了heart disease，同义词的转换。

2010年安徽C，第2题，选项B，把文章中的weathier换成了richer，这样就增加了选项的难度

2010年湖南B，第1题，选项D，是把文章中ignore换成了did n’t follow her mother’s advice。

3．答案项使用原文的同义结构

所谓同义结构，即使用不同的语法结构表达相同的意思。

4. 答案项使用原文的反义词语

accept—reject，marriage—divorce，busy—idle，strain—relaxation等都是反义词，把这些对立的反义词分在两个不同的句子里，通过不同的结构，可以表达相同的意思，正如He is old．和He is no longer young. 是一个意思。5．答案项使用原文的反义结构

反义结构即句子结构两样，表达的方法正好相反，一个是用否定形式，一个是用肯定形式，但意思一样。

6．答案项使用原文的上下义结构

上下义关系就是动物和猫、狗、老虎、狮子、鸟、虫的关系，或科学和医学、生物、物理、电子、计算机、航天等的关系。在一定的上下文中，猫就是动物，动物可以指代猫。医学就是科学，科学可以指代医学。

7．答案项是对原文生词的解释

这种答案项实际上就是用原文生词的同义词。它有两种形式。

1) 四个选项列了四个单词或词组，其中一个就是问题所问的原文中一个生词的同义词或同义词组。

2) 四个选项列了四个句子，其中一个是对原文中一个带有一个关键性生词的句子的解释，如对这一生词不理解，就无法知道这个句子意思。

8．答案项是对原文难句的解释

阅读理解文章中个别句子比较难，有的是本身句子结构比较复杂，句子很长；有的表达比较抽象，有的是含有生词，这都影响了理解，因此问题往往就针对这些句子问，而答案是对它们的浅近的具体的解释。

2010年江西C，孔子与苏格拉底的比较，第1题，答案就来自于第一段整个长难句，关键是考察考生看懂这个句子的意思没有。

9．答案项是对原文比喻或谚语的解释

原文有些句子用了各种比喻或谚语，它对缺乏一定背景知识的考生构成了理解上的困难。问题针对这些比喻、或谚语，答案项就是对它们的解释。

10．答案项是对原文引语的解释

阅读理解中的有些问题往往是针对文章中的一段较难的引语进行发问，而答案项是对这一引语的解释或概括。

11. 答案项是对原文句子的复杂化的解释

有时候不是原文句子难，而是答案项的句子结构和生词使考生理解发生困难，难以把它和原文句子对上。

12．答案项是对原文数据的加减

问题是针对文章中的数据进行提问。答案项是对原文数据的加减乘除而得出的。

例如：2010年江苏C，第2题，计算税金，通过简单的乘法得到答案。

二、间接性答案

间接性答案是指这种答案不能在文章中的某一个句子中直接找到相关的证据。

它需要通过归纳推理等才能得到，它表现为下列几种：

1、答案项是对原文某几个句子的归纳和推理

例如：2010年湖南B，第4题，选项A就是对文章中第4段中一句话，进一步推理所得到的答案。

2010年课标全国C，第2题，选项B是对第三段和最后一段的最后一句话进行推理判断得到的。

2、答案项是对某一段落大意的归纳

3、答案项是对全文主要内容和中心思想的归纳

例如：2010年安徽A，第2题，选项C，是文章主要内容和中心思想的归纳。

2010年湖南A，第5题，选项C，是文章主要内容和中心思想的归纳。

2010年课标全国C，第1题，选项D，是文章主要内容和中心思想的归纳。

阅读理解错误的选项的特征

错误选项就是命题人用以干扰你思维的陷阱。高考英语，由于词汇量的限制，挑选的文章不能过难。命题人员就在问题和干扰选项上做文章。使你即使基本读懂文章，也不能轻松做对全部题目。现在的干扰项不仅语言复杂，而且欺骗性强。两个语言水平相当，对文章理解差不多的考生会因为对干扰项的辨别能力不同，而答题的正确率不一。为了提高辨别错误或干扰信息的能力，有必要分析干扰项的种种特征，使我们在种种命题人设置的陷阱面前，做到胸有成竹。

一、以假乱真

把文章中出现的一些词放在选项里，达到似曾相识的感觉，迷惑考生。在各种干扰信息中，伪了。伪造性的信息也就是文章中根本没有的意思，硬是编造出一个信息，组成一个选项，以假乱真，以迷惑和干扰考生。以假乱真的伪造性信息有两种表现形式。

这就告诉我们：在辨别选项时，一定要琢磨选项的意思，不要因为时间紧，不读完选项的句子，或粗粗一读，只看到几个表面文字与文章中有关部分相同就下结论。根据这一特点，我们似乎还可以得出这样一条经验：选项中出现相关句中的原词越多，这个选项越可能是命题人的陷阱。

例如：2010年山东A，第三题，选项C和D的，都是命题人把文章中出现的词汇伪造了错误选项，以达到给考生设置陷阱的目的。

例如：2010年安徽A，第一题，选项C，就是利用文章中出现的词，以假乱真，设计陷阱。

二、无中生有

利用考生知道的一些基本常识，设置选项，无中生有。这就告诉我们：在做题目，看选项时，一定要读原文，一定要根据文章中说到的，一定要注意问题中的“According to the p assage，”“In the author’s view，”的提醒。千万不要因时间来不及，而不读原文，凭主观想象，千万不要根据自己或人们对这一方面的一般看法来套。伪造的信息之所以能起干扰的作用，就是因为有些看似不合常理的信息却是文章中说到的，而有些看似非常合理的信息是命题人员根据常识编造，以诱骗考生的陷阱。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso, Prince William, and Marilyn Monroe. In fact, an estimated 11 percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed. Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various times in history starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various 1 and 2 characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, 3 , and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain 4 , including professional baseball and tennis players, 5 , lawyers, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others haven’t been proven. What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness form their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer 6 brain 7

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

The first is the 173-meter-high Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of all the pyramids in Egypt. The second is the Great Sphinx of Giza, a sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which stands 20 meters tall and 73 meters long. The origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza goes back 5,000 years, Although many sphinx sculptures have been found over the years, researchers believe that the Great Sphinx which guards the pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be made (around 2600-2500B.C.). The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B.C., sand had covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the two front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only

阅读第课 1.（06 安徽A） When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危险)being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
