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
< br>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
< br>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
wha
t
，
who
，
wh
en
，
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
精彩文档
实用标准文案
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。
相信将这些阅读理解的技巧灵活
的运用在做题过程中，
英语阅读
理解一定会有所提高。

Even if you are a good
high-jumper, you can jump only about seven
feet off the ground. You cannot jump
any higher because the earth pulls
you
hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the
earth. If you weigh yourself,
you will
know how much gravity is pulling you.
Since there is gravity, water runs down
hill. When you throw a ball
into the
air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you
do not fall off the
earth as it whirls
(
旋转
) around.
Then,
can
we
get
away
from
the
earth
and
go
far
out
into
space?
Now
you
can
do
it,
because
spaceships

Then

fast that it can escape (

When we see well, we do not think about
our eyes very often. It is
only
when
we
cannot
see
perfectly
that
we
realize
how
important
our
eyes are.
People who are
near-sighted can only see things that are very
close
to their eyes, Everything else
seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who
do
a
lot
of
work,
such
as
writing,
reading
and
sewing
become
near
—
sighted.
Then
People
who
are
far-sighted
suffer
from
just
the
opposite
problem.
They can see things
that are far away, but they have difficulty in
reading a
book
unless
they
hold
it
at
arm
’
s
length.
If
they
want
to
do
much
reading ,they must get
glasses, too.
Other people do not see
clearly because their eyes are not exactly
精彩文档

the
right shape.
They
have
what
is
called
astigmatism
(
散光
).
This,
too,
can
be
corrected
by
glasses.
Some
people
’
s
eyes
become
cloudy
because of cataracts
(
白内障
). Long ago these people
often became blind.
Now,
however,
it
is
possible
to
operate
on
the
cataracts
and
remove
them.
Having two good eyes is important for
judging distances. Each eye
sees things
from a slightly different angle
(
角度
). To prove this to
yourself,
look at an object our of one
eye; then look at the same object out of your
other eye. You will find the
object
’
s relation to the
background and other
things
around
it
has
changed.
The
difference
between
these
two
different eye views helps us to judge
how far away an object is. People
who
have only one eye cannot judge distance as people
with two eyes.
1. We should take good
care of our eyes
.
A. only when we can see
well
B. only when we cannot see perfectly
C.
even if we can see well
D. only when we realize how
important our eyes are
2. When things
far away seem
indistinct(
模糊不清
) , one is
probably
.
A. near-sighted
B. far-sighted
C. astigmatic
D. suffering from cataracts
3.
The

suffer

the
third

probably

The
most
important
use
of
drifting
(
漂流
)
bottles
is
to
find
ocean
currents. When the position and
direction of currents are known, ships
can use the forward movement of a
current or stay away from currents
that
would carry them off their course. Benjamin
Franklin was one of the
first to use
bottles in the study of currents. He wondered why
British mall
ships needed a week or two
longer than U.S. ships needed in order to
cross the Atlantic Ocean. Franklin
thought the Gulf Stream
(
墨西哥湾流
)
might
explain this difference.
Franklin talked
with captains of U.S. ships. He found that they
knew
each turn of the Gulf Stream. They
used the current in every possible way.
From his talks with the captains.
Franklin made his first map of the Gulf

(

are drifting bottles used?
A. To determine the
position of a ship.
B. To find the
direction of a current.
C.
To
predict
the
direction
of
a
ship.
D.
To
carry
message
across the ocean.
2. What led Franklin
to talk with U.S. captains?
A. U.S. ships
were longer than British ones.
B. British
ships could sail the Atlantic faster than U.S.
ones.
C. U.S. ships could sail the Atlantic
faster than U.S. ones.
D. U.S captains knew more
about maps.

Can
trees
talk?
Yes,
but
not
in
words.
Scientists
have
reason
to
believe that trees do communicate
(
交际
) with each other. Not
long ago,
researchers learned some
surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in
the woods by caterpillars
(
毛虫
) changed the chemistry
of its leaves and
made them taste so
terrible that they got tired of the leaves and
stopped
eating
them.
Then
even
more
astonishing,
the
tree
sent
out
a
special
smell
---a signal (
信号
) causing its
neighbors to change the chemistry of
their own leaves and make them less
tasty.
Communication, of course,
doesn
’
t need to be in words.
We can talk
to each other by smiling,
raising our shoulders and moving our hands.
We
know
that
birds
and
animals
use
a
whole
vocabulary
of
songs,
sounds,
and
movements.
Bees
dance
their
signals,
flying
in
certain
patterns that tell other bees where to
find nectar (
花蜜
) for honey.
So why
shouldn
’

trees have ways of sending message?

In the end,
Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the

In a very real sense, people who have
read good literature have lived
more
than people who cannot or will not read.
T
o have read
Gulliver
’
s
Travels is to have had the experience
of listening to Jonathan Swift, of
learning
about
man
’
s
inhumanity
(
残酷
)
to
man.
To
read
Huckleberry
Finn is to feel what it is like to
drift (
漂流
) down the
Mississippi River on a
raft
(
木排
). To have read Byron is
to have suffered his rebellions with him
and
to
have
enjoyed
his
nose
—
thumbing
at
(
对……的蔑视
)
society.
To
have
read Native Son is to know how it feels to be
frustrated (
受挫折
) in
the
particular
way
in
which
Blacks
in
Chicago
are
frustrated.
This
is
effective
communication
(
交流
).
It
enables
us
to
feel
how
others
felt
about
life, even if they lived thousands of miles away
and centuries age.
It is not true that
“
We have only one life to
live.
”
If we
read, we can live
as many more lives
and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish
friends of mine decided to visit
England by car. Before they left, they
asked me for advice about how to
find
accommodation (
住所
). I
suggested that they should stay at
‘
bed
and
breakfast
’
houses,
because
this
kind
of
accommodation
gives
a

foreign
visitor a good chance to speak English with the
family. My friends
listened to my
advice, but they came back with some funny
stories.
“
We
didn
’
t stay at bed and
breakfast houses,
”
they said,
“
because
we found
that most families were away on
holiday.
”
I
thought this was strange. Finally I understood
what had happened.
My friends spoke
little English, and they thought
‘
VACANCIES
’
meant
‘
holidays
’
, because the Spanish word
for
‘
holidays
”
is
‘
vaca
ciones
’
.
So they
did not go to house where the sign outside said
‘
VACANCLES
’
< br>,
which in English means there are
free rooms. Then my friends went to
house where the sign said
‘
NO
VACANCLES
’
, because they
thought this
meant the people who owned
the house were not away on holiday. But
they
found
that
these
houses
were
all
full.
As
a
result,
they
stayed
at
hotels!
We
laughed
about
this
and
about
mistakes
my
friends
made
in
reading other signs. In Spanish, the
word
‘
DIVERSION
’<
/p>
means fun. In
English, it means that workmen are
repairing the road, and that you must
take a different road. When my friends
saw the word
‘
DIVERSION
’
on
a road
sign, they thought they were going to have fun.
Instead, the road
ended in a large
hold.
English
people
have
problems
too
when
they
learn
foreign
languages. Once in
Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee,
I
said
‘
