第一篇:2014高考英语 阅读理解不同体裁阅读方法记叙文
英语阅读理解不同体裁阅读方法记叙文
不同体裁的文章,作者的写作手法不同,表达的方式千差万别。体裁不同,要求使用的阅读方法也不一样。因此,掌握不同体裁的文章的阅读方法有助于我们提高阅读效率、加深对文章的理解、提高阅读速度。下面分别谈谈记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文的阅读方法和技巧。
第一节 记叙文的阅读方法
记叙文讲述的是发生在当前或过去或将来事情的经过。简而言之,记叙文就是讲故事,包括人物或故事情节。常见的记叙文根据其用途可分为文学记叙文和说明记叙文:文学记叙文以虚构为主,如趣闻逸事、传说、寓言、传奇故事、短篇小说、科幻小说等;说明记叙文以事实为依据,包括历史、传记、新闻报道、日记等。无论哪一种记叙文作者都要交代何人何时何地为什么、怎么样、干了何事等等,这也就是我们常说的5Ws and 1H。这是我们在阅读记叙文时要首先了解的,接着按照线索弄清事情的来龙去脉,就能理解整个故事。
特别值得注意的是:记叙文的叙事顺序有顺叙和倒叙两种,有时候作者为了吸引读者会采用倒叙的方法,即不按照事情发展的先后顺序来叙述,而是从最重要、最能引人入胜的事件开始,然后再回过头来追叙故事的开端和经过。阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后位置。
另外,讲故事必定有其目的:或证明某一理论,或阐明某一概念,或赞美某种美德,或谴责某种罪恶等等。我们在阅读时要通过作者的重要细节描写联系故事情节去领会作者的意图,对作者重墨泼就的细节描写要重点关注。
概括起来一句话:读记叙文的关键是抓情节。抓住了故事情节,就理解了文章的脉络,其他的就迎刃而解了。
下面请阅读一篇记叙文,看看你能不能抓住故事的主要情节。

第二篇:高考英语作文 记叙文
记叙文
记叙文是高考完形填空的主要体裁。其主要特点是以记叙为主,辅以各种综合表达方法,包括描写、说明、议论和抒情等。通过对人和事的描写表达作者的思想感情和中心思想。记叙的要素包括时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过和结果,即我们常说的五个w(who,what,when,where,why);记叙文的另一特点就是有一定的叙事线索,如:人物线索(人物的经历、见闻、感受等)、事件线索(中心事件的来龙去脉)、感情线索(作者或作品中主要人物的思想感情变化)、时间线索、地点和空间线索等。
作者在叙述过程中往往会融入人物的语言、行为、心理的描写,这在一定程度上增加了考生理解文章的难度。这时,考生必须理清上下文的脉络,对人物的语言、行为、心理等给出合理的想象和推理,并仔细揣摩作者的用意,从而透彻地理解文意,达到对语境的准确理解,这样才能作出合理的选择。

【文章大意】 父亲用他的方式表达着对“我”的爱。每次送我,都要和我吻别。12岁的时候,我突然对将要和我吻别的父亲说自己已经长大了,不需要任何形式的吻了,父亲伤心得泪水盈眶。然而一次意外,留给我无尽的后悔和遗憾„„
1.B 由下文的that truck,以及As he would drive可以看出,这是爸爸用车送我去上学,所以选drive,意为:用车送。句意:当天气不好的时候,他就用车送我去上学。
2.A business表示一个人经常的,且赖以生活的职业。这里捕鱼,就是父亲赖以生活的职业,因此A符合语境。最大的干扰项是career,该词指某种经过特殊训练,而又为之献身的终生事业,带有崇高色彩。
3.D 从后面的“it seemed like everybody would be standing around”来看,由于这辆破车很差,噪音大,又冒着浓浓的黑烟,所以怕别人看到了笑话我,所以我就滑倒座位底下,希望自己消失。repair修理;scream尖叫;complaint抱怨。
4.B 我作为一个小孩子,担心被别人看到自己坐在一辆破车里,所以要用watch,如果把A项改为laughing at(嘲笑)也讲得通。perform表现;play玩。
5.A 下文有原词复现:a goodbye kiss。句意:我12岁了,他总是和我吻别。
6.A usual通常的;common普通的;daily日常的;sweet甜的。
7.B 我已决定不再让爸爸吻我,所以当他倾下身来的时候,我举起了手阻止他的嘴,故选hand。
8.C 因为父亲从未想到他对我这种爱的方式会使我如此的反感,对于突如其来的伸手阻止没有一点防备和心理准备,有点受惊,所以选terrified,意为“受惊吓的”。excited 兴奋的;pleased高兴的;bored无聊的,无趣的。
9.C 很显然,父亲很伤心,从后面的他转过身去,可以看出,他不想让我看到他眼睛里的泪水,所以选tears。意为“眼睛含着泪水”。
10.A 转过身去,往外看,所以要用look out。look up向上看(和turn不符);look around环视(这里不是找东西或人,显然也不符合语境);look on旁观,观看。
11.B notice注意到;smell闻;sense感觉到;feel触摸,感觉。海洋不可能在父亲的身上,打鱼回来,带来的只能是海洋的味道,所以选B项。
12.B 这里是对自己以前所做的蠢事的后悔,因为当时自己并没有长大,所以这里作者用了两个虚拟语气说:要是我当时已经长大了,我就不会对父亲说,我已经长大了,用不着吻别了。之后不久,父亲出海打鱼,再也没有回来。那样的话,父亲也不会伤心,我也不会留下遗憾。
第三篇:高考之英语阅读理解解题方法总结
悦考网
英语阅读
在英语学习中,阅读占有很重要的地位。阅读理解也是高考的必考题型。但是在日常的学习中,有不少同学还没有养成良好的阅读习惯,大大影响了阅读的效率。要想提高阅读水平,首先要养成良好的阅读习惯。
养成默读的习惯
许多同学在阅读的时候都有读出声的习惯。出声阅读的主要弊病就是使自己的阅读速度和效率受到说话速度的限制。因为,正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。另外,出声阅读往往以不同的形式表现出来,有时仅仅是无声地动一动嘴唇,有时甚至连嘴唇也不动,只是舌、喉在活动。嘴唇的活动无疑会影响眼睛扫视文章的速度。一个有效率的读者能够只看到印刷符号就直接获得意思,而不经过声音阶段。因此,为了克服这种不良的阅读习惯,就要训练自己养成通过眼睛直接感知文字符号的视读能力。
克服心读的习惯
心读是一种很难观察到的阅读习惯。心读时,人体的任何部位,不论嘴、头或声带都没有动,只存在一种说话的内在形式:阅读者在内心里始终自言自语,清晰地发出并听着每个字音。这种毛病亦是一种很坏的阅读习惯,它直接影响到阅读的速度和效率,并且矫正起来还比较困难。采用强制自己在深入理解文章内容的同时,又强制自己加快阅读速度的方法,一般能逐渐克服这种坏习惯。
克服指读的习惯
指读是指用手指、铅笔或尺子等指着文章的一个个词进行阅读。指读是单纯机械运动,不仅会减慢阅读速度,而且还会把注意力引向错误的方向。一个高效率的阅读者不会注意单词的位置,也不会在每个单词上平均花费时间,而是把注意力集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。有指读习惯的同学实际上妨碍了眼睛运动并限制了大脑的快速活动能力。因此,必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯,逐渐养成用脑瞬间反映文字信息的能力。
克服复视的习惯
复视指的是读完一个句子或段落后回过头去重复阅读。阅读能力差的同学往往有复视的习惯。改变这种不良习惯的办法是让自己阅读大量难度适宜的读物。在先了解阅读要求的情况下,用眼睛快速扫描答案。这样就不会因遇到生词或不太懂的短语、句子或段落而回过头来再看,以致养成复视的习惯。
克服阅读时头摆动的习惯
有的时候,我们在阅读时头部会下意识地左右摆动,这也是阅读的一种坏习惯。在阅读过程中,有些同学往往尽量使自己的鼻尖对准正在读的每一个字。这样,当他顺着一行字往下读时,他就会轻微地摆动头部,而当他通过头的摆动来阅读下一行时,他就会很快转回去
以便使鼻尖再对准阅读文章的左边。这种头部摆动的过程,自己往往意识不到,而正是这种不必要的动作对阅读的速度产生了不良的影响。因此,必须克服这种毛病,养成阅读时只移动视线不摆动头的习惯。
还有其他一些不良的阅读习惯,如阅读时注意力不集中,“思想开小差”;有的用手或笔比划着,逐行地向下移;有的一面阅读一面玩弄着笔、尺子、钥匙等物,不时地发出响声;有的爱抖动双腿;有的过多地进行语法分析;等等。这些不良习惯直接影响到我们的思路,降低阅读速度,因此应及时纠正。
阅读理解的解题技巧
高中英语阅读理解四类题型的提问方式及解题技巧
1.细节题型
【提问方式】Wh-特殊问句; From the text...,According to...,True/not true,划线词语、句子,简单计算、排列事件顺序、识图等。
【解题方法】抓住提问中的关键字眼,仔细阅读相关细节的材料内容,一般可以在短文中直接找到或稍加归纳就可以找到正确答案。
注意排除下列干扰项:
(1)扩缩范围
文章为了表达得准确严密,很注意对范围的限定。有的是通过加上相应的词语限制,如涉及到数量时常用many,almost all,nearly,more than,over,only a few,normally等限制.有些干扰项是通过改变或去掉限定词语,甚至是扩大或缩小了语言范围。
(2)偷换概念
命题者设计试题时往往把原文的概念偷换成另一个不同的概念。望文生义是造成错误的主要原因。
(3)正误并存
在一干扰项中,某个句子或词语是正确的,其他分句或词语是错误的或表达不全面,正误并存,命题者借此以假乱真。要排除这类干扰项,只要一个选项局部有误或选项不全面,都属排除的干扰项。
2.主旨大意题型
【提问方式】What' s the topic/subject of the text/the second paragraph?
What is stated in...? The text is cheifly concerned with_______。
【解题方法】
(1)最常用的方法是仔细研读短文的1、2两句-----即短文的主题句,或辅以阅读各段的第1、2句----即段落中心句。此方法多适用于说明文、议论文。
(2)记叙文等需要通读全文,抓住关键事或论题来归纳意思(常说明一个道理)。
(3)全文末尾(段)找答案。此类文章的特点是以列举事实开头,通过论证,最后阐述核心观点。
在处理文章标题的选择时,要避免下列三种错误:①概括不够(多表现为部分代整体,从而导致范围太小);②过度概括(多表现为人为扩大范围);③以事实或细节代替抽象具体的大意。
3.推理判断题型
【提问方式】
The story suggests that___________.It can be inferred that_____________。
The story implies that _____________.It can be concluded that __________。
We can learn that _______________。
【解题方法】推断题是考查学生透过文章表面的文字信息进行分析、综合、归纳等逻辑推理的能力。学生不仅要弄懂文章的字面意思,更重要的是要知道文章的潜在涵义。
【注意点】
(1)那些文章中直接陈述的内容不能选,要选择根据文章推理出来的选项。
(2)推理不是凭空猜测,而是立足已知推断未知;作出正确答案时一定要在文中找到依据或理由。
(3)不能以自己的观点代替作者的想法;不要脱离原文主观臆断。
4.词义猜测题
① 用构词法猜词;②利用语境及逻辑关系猜词。有时完全可以利用上下文语境和前后
句之间的并列、因果、转折、对比、解释定义和举例等关系来猜测词义。同时特别留心某些词语,例如:or, that is, in other words, including, although, but, or, even if, on the other hand, on the contrary, other than, rather than, more than, instead of等词语之后的内容。

第四篇:高考英语作文多种体裁写作技巧及示例
高考英语作文多种体裁写作技巧及范文示例
英语议论文写作技巧:议题要开门见山
议论文是作者对某个问题或某件事进行分析、评论,表明自己的观点、立场、态度、看法和主张的一种文体。议论文有三要素,即论点、论据和论证。论点的基本要求是:观点正确,认真概括,有实际意义;论据的基本要求是:真实可靠,充分典型;论证的基本要求是:推理必须符合逻辑。
英语议论文的结构一般较为固定,通常包括以下三部分:
1.在导语部分提出需要议论的议题; 2.在正文部分对所提出的问题进行议论;
3.在结论部分对以上的讨论进行总结和归纳。
写议论文要考虑论点,考虑用什么作论据来证明,怎样来论证,然后得出结论。它可以是先提出一个总论点,然后分别进行论述,分析各个分论点,最后得出结论;或者先引述一个故事,一段对话,或描写一个场面,再一层一层地从事实中分析出道理,归纳引申出一个新的结论;也可以在文章开头先提出一个人们关心的问题,然后一一作答,逐层深入;还可以把两个不同事物以对立的方式提出来加以比较、对照,然后得出结论。
在具体写作中要注意下列几点:
1.议题的提出要开门见山,不要拖泥带水。
2.议论时可以采用不同的方法。如:可以摆出正反两方面观点,进行对比;也可引经据典论证作者自己观点的正确性,从而使读者接受自己的观点;亦可提出一种错误的观点然后论证其错误,最终提出正确的观点。正文部分是写作的重点,论证方法可用归纳法、推理法、比较法等。
3.在结论部分必须表明作者的观点,对讨论的问题做出总结。
4.注意连接词和过渡词等词语的使用,以增强文章的条理性和逻辑性。常用的过渡词和连接词包括:first, second, third, finally, in addition, furthermore, besides, what was worse, more importantly, in contrast, because, since, now that, therefore,consequently,in that case, as a result/consequence, in conclusion, to sum up等等。
请看下面的范文:
Shall we send children to study abroad? 1 With more and more people becoming rich in recent years, it is a new tendency for them to send their children to study abroad.But I don’t think it is a good idea.First of all, children are too young to look after themselves.Second, the language barrier is a serious problem.Many children are not proficient in the foreign language before going abroad.As a result, they have difficulty in understanding what the native speakers are talking about.Third, they may get into trouble when dealing with various situations for lack of knowledge of the customs in the strange land.Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, which might cause a heavy burden to the family.In conclusion, there are more disadvantages in sending children to study abroad.So, we’d better not do it.英语新闻报道写作技巧:标题要幽默风趣
新闻报道的结构一般分为四个部分:
(一)标题、(二)导语、(三)主体、(四)结语。标题是新闻的题目,是编辑对最有新闻价值内容的浓缩、概括、提炼和再创造。撰写标题是为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读。在今天繁忙的现代社会中,报纸的读者大多是标题浏览者。导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话,它扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。主体是消息的主要部分,它用充足的事实表现主题,是对导语内容的进一步开展和阐释。新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话,通常对全文内容作概括性的总结,或对新闻事件的发展趋势作出预测。有时,作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。
一般来说,标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。可根据新闻报道的内容而确定是否要结语或其它内容(如事件和历史背景等),有时,还可将它们暗含在主体中。
在写新闻报道时,首先要注意新闻的标题具有语言幽默风趣的特点,有较强的吸引力。同时,写作依据的材料要充分,要用事实来说话,语言力求简洁。最后,报道中要有亮点,能引人深思或能让人产生强烈的兴趣。
请阅读下面一则关于刘翔获得奥运金牌的体育报道,并试着找出这则新闻报道的标题、导语和主体:
Liu Xiang:Dark Horse in the Athens Olympics Liu Xiang , born on July 13, 1983 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese hurdling athlete.In 2002, Liu launched his career in fine style by winning the first IAAF(国际业余田径联合会)Grand Prix in Lausanne with a world youth and Asian record time of 13.12 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles.He has since made the finals at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics.Two of the three cases has seen 2 American hurdling great Allen Johnson take the major prize, but in the last in May at Osaka, Liu managed to beat Johnson with an Asian-record time of 13.06 seconds.Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the 110 meters hurdles event.In the final, he equaled the world record of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales.This is the first time an athlete of non-African descent(后裔)has dipped under 13 seconds for the 110 meter hurdles.巧写英语日记:谓语动词多用一般过去时
英语日记一般记录某一天发生的事件,或者是自己感受最深的一件事,如一节课、一次郊游活动、一场晚会、一场体育比赛等等。也可是观看某场电影、电视剧或阅读某一篇文章后的体会等。写英语日记要注意下面几点:
一、英语日记的格式
英语日记通常由两部分组成,即书端和正文。书端指写日记的日期、星期和天气。英语日记的书端顶格写在正文上边的左边。先写星期,再写日期。日期的写法与书信的相同。天气可写在正文的右上方或写在日期之后。通常用形容词如Fine, Cloudy, Rainy, Windy, Foggy等。
二、英语日记的时态
由于日记记载的事情通常已经发生过,谓语动词多用一般过去时态。
三、写日记正文时应注意的问题
1.考试中所给的话题作文通常把词数控制在100-120个单词。
2.主题要突出。整篇日记要围绕一个主题来展开。切忌面面俱到,记流水帐。因此,要精心选择内容,记下最有意义的、感受最深的内容。
3.语言表达要贴切。写日记时,遣词造句要符合语法和英语习惯表达。切忌汉语句式表达。如果我们不能用已学的语言知识来表达某种意思,最好换另一种同义的表达法。
4.注意结构的完整性。在结尾要有结束语,用自己的感想或体会对前面的内容作总结。请看范文:
Wednesday July 20, 2005 Fine I had an unforgettable trip to Cambridge today.The weather was fine today.My classmates and I went on a guided trip to Cambridge by coach.It took us about three hours to get there.As soon as we got there, we were divided into several groups, with a professional guide to show us around.First, we were shown the King’s College, whose chapel(礼拜堂)impressed me most.It is the most spectacular(壮观的)building that I have ever seen.Then we visited other places such as Trinity College, and Fitzwilliam Museum.In the end, we walked along the Cambridge river and enjoyed the beautiful view.Although tired, I spent the most exciting day in my life.I hope one day I can study in Cambridge University — my dream college.高考英语景物写作技巧:充分发挥想象力
景物描写属于描写文的范畴。描写景物通常采用一般现在时态。描写景物时要注意以下几点:
(1)抓住景物的主要特征写;
(2)选好主题,突出主题,用细节来烘托主题;
(3)要充分发挥想象力,从不同的方面描写事物的特征,唤起读者的想象和情感共鸣;(4)要精心设计描写的角度和顺序。
描写景物时,要着力展示其最具有代表性的东西,突出它的主要特征,把它活灵活现地呈现在读者的面前。请读下面的一篇习作:

EVEN by the standards of the worst financial crisis for at least a generation, the events of Sunday Spetember14th and the day before were extraordinary.The weekend began with hopes that a deal could be struck, with or without government backing, to save Lehman Brothers, America’s fourth-largest investment bank.It ended with Lehman’s set for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the bank preparing to wind itself up after those efforts failed.Other vulnerable financial giants scrambled to sell themselves or raise enough capital to stave off a similar fate.Merrill Lynch, the third-biggest investment bank, sold itself to Bank of America(BofA), an erstwhile Lehman suitor, in a $50 billion all-stock deal.American International Group(AIG)brought forward a potentially life-saving overhaul and went cap-in-hand to the Federal Reserve.即使以至少一代人所经历的最坏的金融危机的标准来看,上周六及周日(9月14日)的事件仍是非同寻常的。那个周末开始于拯救美国第四大投行雷曼兄弟的交易有望达成,无论有或者没有政府的支持。然而却以雷曼兄弟的所有努力均告失败后,根据美国破产法案第11章申请破产保护而告终。其它脆弱的金融巨头同样努力地将自己卖出或是筹集足够的资金以避免与雷曼相同的命运。第三大投行美林以500亿美元全额换股交易将自己卖给了以前雷曼的收购者–美国银行。美国国际集团(AIG)正在提出一个潜在的挽救重整方案,并且毕恭毕敬地照美联储脸色行事。
On Sunday night the situation was still fluid, with bankers and regulators working to limit the fallout.They were girding themselves for a dreadful Monday in the markets.Australia’s stockmarket opened sharply lower on Monday(most other Asian bourses were closed).American stock futures were deep in the red too, and the dollar weaker.Spreads on risky credit, already elevated, widened further.在周日晚上,形势仍然非常不明朗。银行家们和监管者都在努力减小这次事件的辐射影响。他们准备应付非常糟糕的”黑色星期一”。澳大利亚股市周一大幅低开(其它大多数亚洲股票交易所都停牌了)。美国股指期货下跌非常厉害,同时美元汇率也走低。已经很高的信贷风险的息差变得更高。
有用的单词和句子: American finance 美国金融
Nightmare on Wall Street 华尔街噩梦
A weekend of high drama reshapes American finance 一个极富戏剧性的周末重塑了美国的金融体系
The takeover of Merrill leaves just two large independent investment banks in America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.5 美林被收购后美国只剩下两家大型独立的投资银行–摩根斯坦利和高盛。
高考英语试题中定语从句与强调句陷阱题详解
1.The factory was built in a secret place, around _________ high mountains.A.which was B.it was C.which were D.them were 【陷阱】容易误选A或B,将A、B中的 which 和 it 误认为是其后句子的主语。【分析】最佳答案是C,around which were high mountains 是一个由“介词+which”引出的非限制性定语从句,而在该从句中,主语是 high mountains,around which 是表语,所以句子谓语应用复数were,而不是用单数 was。请做以下类例题目(答案均为C):
(1)Yesterday we visited a modern hospital, around _________ some fruit shops.A.which is B.it is C.which are D.them are(2)The murder happened in an old building, beside _________ the city police station.A.which are B.it is C.which is D.them are(3)Next month we’ll move to a new building, next to _________ a nice restaurants where we can have Chinese food.A.which are B.it is C.which is D.them are 2.A man with a bleeding hand hurried in and asked, “Is there a hospital around _________ I can get some medicine for my wounded hand”
A.that B.which C.where D.what 【陷阱】容易误选 B,认为 around 是介词,选 which 用以代替前面的名词 hospital,在此用作介词 around 的宾语。
【分析】最佳答案为C。以上语法分析并不算错,但问题是,照此分析,此句的意思即为:有没有这样一个医院,我在它的附近可以买药治我的手伤?这样的语境显然有点不合情理,因为人们通常是在医院里面治伤,而不是在医院附近治伤。此题选 C 的理由是:句中的 around 不是介词,而是副词,意为“在附近”;其后的 where 引导定语从句用以修饰其前的地点名词 hospital,句意为:附近有没有一家医院,我可以去治我的手伤?
3.David is such a good boy _________ all the teachers like.A.that B.who C.as D.whom 6 【陷阱】此题容易误选A,许多同学一看到题干中的such,再联系到选项中的 that,便认为这是考查such „ that „句式。况且,这样理解意思也还通顺。
【分析】最佳答案为C,不是A,因为在such „ that „(如此„„以至„„)结构中,that 引导的是结果状语从句,并且 that 在从句中不充当句子成分,若在上句填入 such „ that „,句末的动词 like 缺宾语。选C的理由如下:as 用作关系代词,用以引导定语从句,修饰其前的名词 boy,同时 as 在定语从句中用作动词 like 的宾语,句意为“所有老师都喜欢的一位好男孩”。有的同学可能还会问,假若选A,能否将其后的 that 视为引导定语从句的关系代词呢?不能,因为当先行词受到 such 的修饰时,其后的定语从句应用关系代词 as 来引导,而不用that。比较下面一题,答案为A,因为 like 后有自己的宾语 him:
David is such a good boy _________ all the teachers like him.A.that B.who C.as D.whom 请再做以下试题(答案选D):
It was not such a good dinner _________ she had promised us.A.like B.that C.which D.as 4.The buses, most of _________ were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd.A.that B.it C.them D.which 【陷阱】容易误选 C,用 them 代指 the buses。
【分析】最佳答案是D。most of which were already full 为非限制性定语从句,修饰 the buses。类似地,以下各题也选D:
(1)His house, for _________ he paid $10, 000, is now worth $50, 000.A.that B.it C.them D.which(2)Ashdown forest, through _________ we’ll be driving, isn’t a forest any longer.A.that B.it C.them D.which(3)This I did at nine o’clock, after _________ I sat reading the paper.A.that B.it C.them D.which 类似地,以下各题选 whom,不选 them:
7(4)George, with _________ I played tennis on Sundays, was a warm-hearted person.A.that B.him C.them D.whom(5)Her sons, both of _________ work abroad, will come back home this summer.A.that B.who C.them D.whom(6)I met the fruit-pickers, several of _________ were still university students.A.that B.who C.them D.whom 5.He had a lot of friends, only a few of _________ invited to his wedding.A.whom B.them C.which D.who 【陷阱】容易误选 A,认为这是非限制性定语从句。
【分析】最佳答案是B,这不是非限制性定语从句,而是一个独立主格结构,因为空格后的动词 invited 并不是一个完整的谓语,而是一个过去分词。当然,假若在 invited 前加上助动词 were,则是一个非限制性定语从句,答案便应选A。比较:
(1)They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, none of _________ carried out in their work.A.which B.them C.what D.that 答案选B,none of them carried out in their work 是独立主格结构,其中的 carried out 为过去分词
(2)They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, none of _________ were carried out in their work.A.which B.them C.what D.that 答案选A,none of them were carried out in their work 是非限制性定语从句,注意与上例比较句中多了一个助动词were。
(3)They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, but none of _________ were carried out in their work.A.which B.them C.what D.that 答案选B,由于两句之间增加了一个并列连词but,使得该句成了一个并列句。6.On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents seated together joking.A.their B.whose C.which D.that 【陷阱】容易误选B,认为这是非限制性定语从句。[nextpgae] 【分析】最佳答案是A。与上面一题相似,their parents seated together joking 不是非限制性定语从句,而是一个独立主格结构,因为空格后的动词 seated 不是谓语,而是一个过去分词,因为 seat 作动词用时,是及物动词。比较以下相似题:
(1)On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents were seated together joking.A.their B.whose C.which D.that 选B。whose parents were seated together joking 为非限制性定语从句,因为其后有完整的谓语 were seated。
(2)On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, and _________ parents were seated together joking.A.their B.whose C.which D.that 选A。因为句中有并列连词and,整个句子为并列句。
(3)On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents sitting together joking.A.their B.whose C.which D.that 选A。their parents sitting together joking 为独立主格结构。
(4)On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents sat together joking.A.their B.whose C.which D.that 选B。whose parents sat together joking 为非限制性定语从句,因为句中有完整的谓语 sat。
(5)On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents were sitting together joking.9 A.their B.whose C.which D.that 选B。whose parents were sitting together joking 为非限制性定语从句,因为句中有完整的谓语 were sitting。
7.If the man is only interested in your looks, _________ just shows how shallow he is.A.as B.which C.what D.that 【陷阱】容易误选A或B,误这是非限制性定语从句。
【分析】正确答案为D,注意逗号前是一个条件状语从句,逗号后是该状语从句的主句,that 在此代表前文所述的情况,用作主句的主语。类似地,下面几道题也选 that,而不选 which:
(1)If you promise to go with us, _________ will be OK.A.as B.which C.and it D.that(2)If you want a double room, _________ will cost another £15.A.as B.which C.what D.that(3)Whether you go or not, _________ is quite all right with me.A.that B.which C.and it D.so(4)When I say two hours, _________ includes time for eating.A.as B.which C.what D.that 高考经验谈:超强应试技巧教你每门多拿10分
1.通览全卷,迅速摸透“题情”
刚拿到试卷,一般心情比较紧张,建议拿到卷子以后看一下,看看考卷一共几页,有多少道题,了解试卷结构,通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出,后面易题没时间做”的有效措施,也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。
2.答题顺序:从卷首依次开始
一般地讲,全卷大致是先易后难的排列,所以,正确的做法是从卷首开始依次做题,先易后难,最后攻坚。有的考生愿意从卷末难题开始做,他们认为自己前面的题没有问题,好坏成败就看卷末的难题做得怎么样,开始时头脑最清醒,先做最难的题成功率高、效果好,想以攻坚胜利保证全局的胜利。这种想法看似有理,实际是错误的。一般卷末的题比较难,除了个别水平特别高的学生,都没有做好该题的把握。很可能花了不少时间,也没有把这个题满意地做完。你这时的思绪多半已经被搅得很乱,又由于花了不少时间,别的题一点没有做,难免心里发慌,以慌乱之心做前面的题,效果也会大打折扣。但也不是坚决地“依次”做题,一份高考试卷,虽然大致是先易后难,但试卷前部特别是中间出现难题也是常见的,执着程度适当,才能绕过难题,先做好有保证的题,才能尽量多得分。
3.答题策略
先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单题、熟悉的题,再做综合题、难题。应根据自己的实际,果断跳过啃不动的题目,从易到难,可以增强信心,但也要注意认真对待每一道题,力求有效,不能走马观花,有难就退,伤害解题情绪。
先小后大。小题一般是信息量少、运算量小,易于把握,不要轻易放过,应争取在大题之前尽快解决,从而为解决大题赢得时间,创造一个宽松的心理气氛。
先局部后整体。对一个疑难问题,确实啃不动时,一个明智的解题策略是:将它划分为一个个子问题或一系列的步骤,先解决问题的一部分,即能解决到什么程度就解决到什么程度,能演算几步就写几步,每进行一步就可得到这一步的分数。
4.学会分段得分
高考阅卷评分办法是“分段评分”,或者“踩点给分”--踩上知识点就得分,踩得多就多得分。所以对于难度较大的题目采用“分段得分”的策略实为一种高招儿。对于会做的题目,要解决“会而不对,对而不全”这个老大难问题。会做的题目要特别注意表达的准确、考虑的周密、书写的规范、语言的科学,防止被“分段扣点分”。如果遇到一个很困难的问题,确实啃不动,一个聪明的解题策略是,将它们分解为一系列的步骤,或者是一个个小问题,先解决问题的一部分,能解决多少就解决多少,能演算几步就写几步,特别是那些解题层次明显的题目,或者是已经程序化了的方法,每进行一步得分点的演算都可以得分,最后结论虽然未得出,但分数却已过半,这叫“大题拿小分”,确实是个好主意。
解题过程卡在某一过渡环节上是常见的。这时,我们可以先承认中间结论,往后推,看能否得到结论。如果不能,说明这个途径不对,立即改变方向;如果能得出预期结论,就回过头来,集中力量攻克这一“卡壳处”。
由于考试时间的限制,“卡壳处”的攻克来不及了,那么可以把前面的写下来,再写出“证实某步之后,继续有„„”一直做到底,这就是跳步解答。若题目有两问,第一问想不出来,可把第一问作“已知”,“先做第二问”,这也是跳步解答。
5.答题速度:以快为上
高考数学试卷共有22个题,考试时间为两个小时,平均每题约为5.5分钟。为了给解答题的中高档题留下较充裕的时间,每道选择题、填空题应在二至三分钟之内解决。若这些题目用时太长,即使做对了也是“潜在丢分”,或“隐含失分”。一般,客观性试题与主观性试题的时间分配为4:6。
6.立足中下题目,力争高水平
平时做作业,都是按所有题目来完成的,但高考却不然,只有个别的同学能交满分卷,因为时间和个别题目的难度都不允许多数学生去做完、做对全部题目,所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上,是试题的主要构成,是考生得分的主要来源。学生能拿下这些题目,实际上就是数学科打了个胜仗,有了胜利在握的心理,对攻克高档题会更放得开。
7.确保运算正确,立足一次性成功
高考是限时限量的选拔性考试,在120分钟时间内完成大小22个题,时间很紧张,不允许做大量细致的解后检验,所以要尽量准确运算(关键步骤,力求准确,宁慢勿快),立足一次成功。解题速度是建立在解题准确度基础上,更何况数学题的中间数据常常不但从“数量”上,而且从“性质”上影响着后继各步的解答。所以,在答卷时,要在以快为上的前提下,要稳扎稳打,字字有据,步步准确,尽量一次性成功,提高成功率。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度,甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。假如速度与准确不可兼得的说,就只好舍快求对了,因为解答不对,再快也无意义。
试题做完后要认真做好解后检查,看是否有空题,答卷是否准确,所写字母与题中图形上的是否一致,格式是否规范,尤其是要审查字母、符号是否抄错。
8.要学会“挤”分
高考试题是“题题设防,题题把关”,高考试题每一道题目都“长牙”,每一道题目都“咬人”,只有这样才达到区分的目的。另一方面高考试题是分步赋分,做对几步就会得到几分,因此考生在答题时要学会“挤”分。
挤分的主要方法有:理科把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置,作文尤其主要开头和结尾,文科一般都按要点给分。所以每一道题都认真思考,能做几步就做几步,高考是按步赋分,千万不能产生定势,高考试题为了达到理想的压分度,住住是难度逐步加深,对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分。这是考试中最好的策略。
因此考生在考试时,不急燥,不气馁,要学会用“挤”的办法提高自己的得分率。
9.检查的方法:顺手记下该检查的题号
检查是答卷的一个环节,检查时最忌从头到尾一题题地检查。因为在短短的时间里看许多题,自然不会很细,而轻易地更改常会把本来做过的题改错。正确的检查是只检查应该检查的题,一个题该不该检查,应当在做完这个题时给出判定,并在演草纸上记下该检查的题号。
一份考卷上该检查的题不应当多,有经验的考生知道答完题后要面对的题无外乎四种,一是解题过程顺利且很有把握,这类题就不需要检查了。二是解题过程不顺利,自己觉得在某一点上没有把握,还需再斟酌,这类题就是需要检查的题。三是感觉难做,但一时理不清头绪,无从下手,只好暂时放下的题。第四种题是完全不会,估计再花时间也没有希望做出 12 来,不如放弃此题,如果是选择题,就选一个最像是正确的答案了事。这类题就不必再做检查了。
检查时首先要注意有没有漏题。此外检查时仍需审题,因为在审题环节出问题是考生最常犯的毛病。检查时不要轻易改选择题的答案。到检查时,大脑已经连续工作很长时间了,轻易以疲惫的头脑去推翻头脑清醒时的答案,结果是把做对的题改错了。
10.检查后的涂改方式要讲究
一、要划掉重新写,忌原地用涂黑的方式改,这会使阅卷老师看不清。
二、如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写,要先写出正确的,再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了,写新题解的时间又不够,本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。
三、新的答案写出后,不要忘记把原来的答案划去,如果出现对的和错的两个答案并存的情况,按规矩是不能给分的。
高中英语阅读理解的解题技巧 养成良好阅读心理
阅读理解试题是高考试题中最重要的一项内容,也是学生们最容易失分的一项。如何上好阅读理解课呢?我在平时的教学中对学生进行了如下的训练:
让学生养成良好的阅读心理。阅读时要去掉杂念,心绪要安定,精神要专一,要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰,理解深刻。
帮助学生提高视读的速度。阅读理解考的是速度,慢读是不行的。因此作阅读理解时,要注意培养学生快速阅读的习惯。阅读时眼球总是不断地移动、停顿、移动着。理解是在“眼停”的瞬间进行的。我们要使眼停的时间相对增加,就要扩大视读的广度,把逐词逐句的点式阅读变成一次扫描一句的线式阅读,并且把看到的东西迅速报告给大脑,形成眼脑较快的直映能力。切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭,只要全篇理解了,个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测,去推断。对个别不清楚的地方也可以再看几次。要留心关键词句,注意弦外之音。对文章的评价分析,一定要坚持“词不离句,句不离篇”,要理解文章作者的原意,而不能按自己的意愿去想当然。
培养学生阅读时的语感。所谓语感是指人们对语言中词语搭配及句型结构的熟练程度。语感好的人,理解力就强,视读的速度就快。对于那些长的文章,可以让学生先把文章后面的问题看一遍,带着问题去看文章。这样可以帮助学生去掉杂念,提高阅读速度和解题的正确性。在练习中应培养学生善于找出关键句的能力,可以边读边用铅笔做点标记,把有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、原因等划出来。读完一篇文章后,要回味一番对文章的段落结构,中心思想,人物事件,论点论据要做到心中有数。
让学生学会“自学”。这是提高英语阅读的有效措施。要充分利用选材上的优势来满足不同层次学生的兴趣。根据学科特点,为他们订一些报刊杂志,这样可以大大扩大学生的知识面,培养学生的课外阅读能力,使英语阅读策略在课堂外得到有效的实践。
第五篇:高考英语必备 记叙文突破
记叙文突破
记叙文体裁主要是记人、叙事、写景、状物一类的文章,具体地说,它是借助叙述、描写、抒情等手段记叙社会生活中的人、事、景、物的情态及其发展过程,用以表现作者的思想,抒发作者某种情感的文章形式。近几年的高考完形填空题中的记叙文主要以叙事、记人为主,如幽默故事、童话故事、历史故事、人物传记和新闻报道等。
记叙文是中学英语阅读材料中最常见的文体,其语言特点有:
1、以一般过去时为主,其他时态为辅。合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态,而这种复杂的时态特征在汉语记叙文中是根本没有的。正是有了动词时态的变化,才使英语文章中所叙述的动作有了层次感和立体感。
2、广泛使用动词,特别是动态动词。由于这些动词的存在,文章就会充满“动感”,而这种让往事历历在目的“动感”正是优秀的记叙文所要追求的。
3、适当运用直接引语。直接引语的使用可以代替间接的主观叙述,简洁、生动地表达出事件发展的过程和各种人物的心理活动,充分展示人物的独特个性和人物之间的相互关系。
解答记叙文体的完形填空时,应着重把握以下几点:
1、了解文章的结构形式。通常为了叙述方便,作者会按时间先后顺序或空间顺序等方式来安排情节和内容。其优点是条理清楚,层次分明。读者也较容易理解和接受。但是有时为了突出某个情节或为了增加阅读趣味,或为了其他目的,作者可能会采用插叙,甚至倒叙的写作手法。弄清了文章篇章信息的分布情况,有助于抓住文章的主线,理清文章的脉络。
2、明确作者的写作目的。就事论事肯定不是记叙的目的,而通过叙述阐明一个道理,同是作者必须考虑的。只有心中有了目的,在情节选择和细节描写上才会作出合理的安排。明晰了写作目的,就能抓住文章的主题。
3、知晓文章所记叙的几大要素。为了使读者清楚地了解一件事的起因、经过和结局,作者就有必要在记叙文中将事件、人物、时间、地点、原因(why)和结果等要素讲清楚。这六个要素是记叙文的基本组成部分,一般不能缺少。弄清了这六个要素,基本上就理解了整篇文章。
4、弄清文章是以第几人称的视角展开记叙的。通常英语记叙文展开记叙的视角有两个: 第一人称和第三人称。用第一人称就是从“参与者”的角度进行记叙,读者可从字里行间感受到作者亲切的态度和深厚的感情。用第三人称就是以“观察者”的身份展开叙述,作者的语气客观,与读者保持着一定的距离,读者的注意力更多集中在故事本身。了解了作者的写作角度有助于我们走进作者的思维,深入理解文章的意义。

3、选B。根据常识可以排除另三个选项。
4、选D。Peggy是女孩,故为女儿。
5、选A。音乐响起。首句已呈现过该说法,另play在此系及物动词,形式不对。
6、选C。下文中有and letting it carry her 这样类似用法。
7、选B。从其后面的状态来看,Peggy心中充满了自信。
8、选B。表示进入溜冰场之前的最后几秒钟。该空可以根据常识和行文逻辑选定。

内容概要:文章讲述了两个人在旅行中,车子发生了事故,引起了火灾。具体描述了救人救火的场面。
答案简析:
1、选D。因为巨大的爆炸声是突如其来的,所以街上的人感到“震惊”。
2、选D。give assistance意思是offer help,根据空格后的help 不难选定。
3、选A。火应该是车内的爆炸产生的,所以用inside。
4、选C。上面提到了众人的帮助,所以此刻一辆卡车也改变了“方向”,以便为他们提供一些方便。卡车是无生命的事物,故不能选用另三个选项。
5、选B。卡车加入救助时,消防队员显然还没有到。
6、选B。passenger是“乘客”,而guest是“客人”在车上的人应是乘客。
7、选C。因为火引起的,所以是灼伤“burn”。
8、选B。因为伤比较轻微,所以经简单“治疗”后可以离开医院。
9、选B。pretty在此处为副词,相当于very。从前面的a loud bang和人们纷纷循声涌向面包车来看,爆炸声“很”大。
10、选A。事故是肯定的,不必猜测,根据巨大的响声,猜测发生了爆炸应是合理的。
11、选C。在地上“滚”是为了扑灭身上的火。
12、选D。下面提到裤子烧掉了一截,所以情况好像比前一位更糟糕一些。
13、选D。by the time意为“到„„时候为止”。从后面已有人携带灭火器到了车上,可以得出该答案。
14、选A。火主要在车内燃烧,故救火人到了“车”内。
15、选D。受伤的人等“救护车”救护,合乎常情。
16、选B。A、D不符合事实,C不合乎词的用法。
17、选C。all right相当与OK。进入车内的目的应该是为了看看物品是否损坏。
18、选C。由superficial 和 plastic window 可以想到此处指车子部件的“损坏”情况。
19、选A。前后意义相反。20、选A。与文章首句相呼应。
(三)When dawn came, they realized that the boat was blocked in ice.The captain had 1_____ asleep but the rest of the crew hurriedly woke him.He took a small axe(斧), and 2_____great care, so as to 3_____ a hole in the ice on the deck(甲板), he began to knock.From time to time a wave burst over the boat and swept over him but he kept working for ten minutes 4_____ the others looked on 5_____.By this time he was 6______ cold that he could no longer trust what he was doing.Each member of the crew took it in 7_____ to cut the ice away as long as he could 8_____it.First, they had to knock off enough ice to get down on their 9_____.Standing on that rolling deck meant 10_____, because a man who had fallen into the sea could not have been rescued.Then the captain discovered that ice was forming inside the cabin(船舱).He called 11_____ one of the crew and together they managed to get the stove alight, hoping that it would 12 _____enough heat to warm the cabin above 13_____ point.Unless the ice in the bottom could be
melted enough so that the 14_____ could be raised, they were in 15_____.It took an hour’s 16_____ before the boat began to float better.But by this time they had succeeded in 17_____ most of the ice.Throughout the afternoon, the coating of ice began to build up again 18_____ their work.In the face of this danger, Captain Slater 19______ the crew to clear the ice so that the boat would 20_____ until the next morning.Then they settled down to wait for anther day.1.A.gone

内容概要:本文描述了一艘船在寒冷的天气中,遭遇到了冰冻,但在船长和船员的共同努力下,最终脱离了险境。
答案简析:
1、选B。需要船员们去叫醒,说明“睡着了”。
2、选C。with great care 意为“细心地”,系固定搭配,在此作状语。
3、选A。make a hole“弄一个洞”,意思较为笼统。drill暗指用钻去钻,dig暗指用锹去挖,而船长用的工具却是斧头,故B、C两个选项应该舍去。
4、选D。在轮流干之前,只是船长一人在干,船长干时,大家只是在一旁注视着。
5、选B。因为情况比较危急,所以大家观望时心情一定很焦虑。
6、选B。前后有因果关系。
7、选D。由each member推知,众船员“依次”干了起来。
8、选C。bear意为“忍受”,表明大家在尽全力干,能干多长就干多长。put up 后加上with ,也可作“忍受”讲。
9、选A。因为站着破冰有危险,所以设法“跪下”。从词语搭配关系中也能得到一点启发。
10、选D。掉下大海无法营救,所以站在很滑的甲板上某种程度上就意味着“死亡”。
11、选A。call to sb大声叫某人,call on拜访(某人),call up打电话,call at拜访(某地),四个词组中只有call to 合乎语境。
12、选B。点上炉子是为了让炉子“散发”热量,保持船舱暖和。
13、选C。为使船舱不结冰,就要使其温度保持在“冰点”之上。
14、选A。冰融化后,可使船的重量减轻,使船体上浮。
15、选C。如果冰不清除,船就会不断下沉,那就肯定“危险”了。
16、选B。船上浮是在船员们一小时的辛劳之后得以实现的。
17、选D。remove“去除”,等于take away。
18、选D。in spite of 意为“不管、尽管”,表示让步关系。
19、选C。另三个词不能按sb to do。
20、选C。float意为“漂浮”,清除冰的目的显然是为了不使船下沉。

(1999年广东夏季高考题)
内容概要:本文讲述了Kate去商店买米时,无意中发现两个穿着长大衣的小孩在商店里偷东西,最后她决定制止他们的行为。答案简析:
1、选D。空格后的部分是地点状语从句。
2、选C。超市里架子上放的自然是“货物”了。
3、选B。从下文得知,他们准备偷东西,所以穿“长”大衣来做掩护。四个选项中只有long 与后面提到的too big 有点关系。
4、选A。大衣长而大,穿在小孩子身上自然就觉得古怪。young, nervous, excited与strange之间没有逻辑上的因果关系。
5、选C。毕竟是做贼的,所以提醒另一人要“当心”。
6、选D。共两个小孩,故另一个用the other。
7、选B。开头已暗示Kate是来买米的。
8、选D。it指前面听到的声音,这种声音“听起来”像„„。
9、选A。货物之间有空隙,Kate正好可以看过去。
10、选A。按理小孩应把选中的东西放进购物篮中,但他们没有,故用instead of。
11、选B。it 指前面已提到过的box。
12、选D。could表示可能性。
13、选B。第9空前的动作再次重复了一遍。
14、选C。这时放入袋中的显然不是前面提到过的box,而是“其他”什么东西。
15、选C。她看着他们,说明他们就在她面前。
16、选D。购物篮中的物品两个小孩是准备付款的。
17、选D。付款的东西自然是放在购物篮中的。
18、选C。大衣的钮子钮得整整齐齐,因为里面藏有东西,此处button是动词。
19、选B。由even所表示的语气可以推知。20、选A。根据行文逻辑不难选定。

内容概要:本文讲述了Tom第一次到英格兰,不听朋友的建议,独自外出,结果把火车的方向弄反了,以致到错了地方。
答案简析:
1、选B。against one’s advice意为“违背别人的建议”。
2、选A。通过下文得知他是一人出来,故用alone。
3、选D。下面街道人多为患,所以用“bad”。
4、选A。for表原因,用以解释 bad time。
5、选B。要排长队购票是不以他的意志为转移的,他是“不得不”排队。
6、选D。turn表示“轮次”。
7、选D。售票员听不懂他的话,他却把票买成了,前后句显然有“转折”关系。
8、选B。问路一般用ask the “way”。
9、选A。be packed with be crowded with。正因为人拥挤,才没上得了第一趟火车。
10、选A。manage to do表示“设法得以做成某事”,没做成当然用not manage了。
11、选C。因为是在拥挤的站台上,显然获得的是一个稍好些的站的“位置”。
12、选B。从from behind 来看,他是被人推向前的。sweep在此意思是“猛推”。
13、选D。push与sweep同义。
14、选C。看不清的应是“站名”。signs应注意排除,毕竟他首次到英国,即使各个站有其独特的符号、标记,他也不可能知道。
15、选B。站就是火车“停”靠的地方。
16、选C。这里的stop与station同义。
17、选A。觉得旅行如此轻松,心情当然是“高兴的”。
18、选A。选项D应注意排除,因为他不是英国人,所以没到过这个车站是明摆着的,故这一答案是正确,但与hear of 相比,不能算是最佳答案。
19、选C。这里的difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事,他还未知道,所以谈不上什么错误,故选项B,不能确定为答案。
20、选B。听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了,那人的第一反应应当是觉得好笑,即答案应在A、B之间。joke不可能出现在脸上,故答案只能为B。
