第一篇:高中英语解题题典:阅读理解第36-40部分
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power(原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to thc power station.Ahhough the power statkms themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not.Normally, only two methods of transport are itl use, namely road or rail.Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste.All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most eases will remain radioactive for thousands of years.It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioaclive, and so they must be stored iii one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented.For example, they may be hurled under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea.However, these methods do not solve lhe problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third.there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏)or an explosion at the power station.As with the other two dangers, this is nm very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program.Itowever, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry, l‟akcn to gethcr, though, the probability of disaster(灾难)is exrrtmtly high.1.Which of the following is FALSE?
A.It is possible that a leak or explosion occurs at a power station.B.It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C.The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.D.Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ______.A.easyB.impossible
C.reasonableD.ineffective
3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The power station is a safe place.B.The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C.The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.D.By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.4.What is this passage about?
A.Uses of nuclear power.B.Dangers from nuclear power.C.Public anger at nuclear power.D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.答:1.B 2.D 3.D 4.B

A branch of computer science cailled artifical intelligence uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience.Artificial intelligence systems are al-so called expert systems, which enable computers programmed with great amounts of in formation to think about many possibilities such as diseases that certain symptoms(症状)could indicate and make a dccision for tile treatment.Computers are used in teaching as well.Programs that perform computer-aided in-struction(CAI计算机辅助教学)are designed to help students at all levels, from ele-mentary school to the university level.The student sits at a computer terminal(终端).The terminaI‟s screen displays a question for the student to answer.If the answer is wrong or incumplete, tile computer may ask the student to try again.It then may supply the correct answer and an explanation.CAf is also used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee training programs of some business companies.One of the most important uses of computers is to communicate information over long distances.They can send information to each other over telephone lines.As a result, computers keep banks, newspapers, and other institutions supplied with hnformation.A computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms, build-ings, cities, or countries, all connected together.Computer networks allow people to communicate by using electronic mail a document typed into one computer and sent to an-other.Such document generally travel in only a few minutes, even if they are being sent over a long distance.The computer‟s ability to share information with other computers over a network linked by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunieatitms.The Internet, an international network of computer networks, has spread out since the early 1990‟s.The Internet began as.a US network of scientific and military computers in the 1960‟s.Now it
is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail, software, and elec-tronic documents and picture files all over the world.The Internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communicaions for many people.In the future it will completely change the way people work.With the lnternet, increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office.Computers and their programs are the most complex devices in human history, and probably the most useful.Modern industrial societies now depend on them.As comput-ers become more powerful and widespread, computer education must continue to increase also.1.From the first paragraph we get to know that artificial intelligence systents _____.A.are beyond scientists‟ control

第二篇:高中英语教学论文 阅读理解题解题指导
高中英语阅读理解题解题指导
英语阅读是英语学习中非常重要的环节之一,在英语学习中听和读是两种输入信息的方式,而说和写是两种输出信息的方式,有输入才能有输出,所以只有通过阅读才能扩大词汇量,才能逐步提高我们写作的能力,而且阅读也是提高口语的辅助手段之一。在目前国内的中考、高考中与阅读相关的试题占卷面成绩的百分之五十以上,国外的托福、雅思考试中阅读也是非常重要的考察内容之一。除了应试以外阅读也是我们获取信息,提高人文修养的途径之一。一般人认为我们中国的学生虽然学的是哑巴英语,但阅读不是问题,其实这种理解是片面的,我们大多数人学了十几年的英语还是不能顺利的阅读英语的原文,比如杂志、报纸、文学作品等等。
英语的阅读大的方面可以分为精读与泛读两种。所谓精读是指对一篇文章通过仔细阅读理解文章的主题思想,每个段落的意思以及每句话的含义,还包括对单词的词性、词义,句子的结构,特别是复杂句结构等语法点的理解与掌握,有时除了这些之外,还可能对文章的背景知识的了解,比如相关的历史、政治、经济、文化等。所谓泛读是指对文章进行快速阅读,通过阅读理解文章的主题思想,而不必关心一些细节的含义及语法点。也有人提出快读的概念,其实快读是泛读的一种,可以理解为限时的泛读。为了提高英语阅读的能力,精读和泛读都是必须采用的方式,两者的交叉是较理想的方式。
除了精读和泛读两种阅读训练方法以外,还有一些些因素与阅读能力密切相关。首先是词汇量的积累,词汇是阅读的基础。其次是语法知识的掌握,特别对于初级、中级的学习者来说,没有扎实的语法知识,很难提高阅读的能力。再者是对英文文化背景知识的了解,这包括历史、政治、经济、文化等等。最后就是掌握一定的阅读技巧,比如了解如何寻找文章和段落的主题句子,如何通过上下文推测生词的含义,如何按文章含义去理解作者的写作动机,如何掌握文章的事实细节,在考试中是先读文章还是先看问题等等,这些技巧对于应试来说有时能起到一定的作用,但应试能力的提高最根本的还是阅读能力的综合提高

第三篇:阅读理解解题方法
如何做语文阅读理解题
(一)考点分类 具体题型 答题技巧 筛选信息: 1.考查文章的线索/本文的线索是什么?/关键看文章标题,标题往往就是线索;其次看文章反复出现的关键词语,这个词就是线索。
2.概括文章内容/请用简洁的语言概括文章的内容/用“(何时,何地)谁+干什么+结果怎样”的句式答题。或用“ 什么+怎么样”句式组织语言。
3.考查文章的表达方式的辨析/本文(文中某段)主要运用了哪种表达方式?/识别叙述,描写,说明,议论,抒情等表达方式。一般题目设置在议论句和描写句上,考试时从这两方面去辨别即可。
4.考查文章所描写对象的特征/简要概括文中事物的特点(优点,作用)/答案往往不止一点,需要提取。注意连接词,如“首先,其次,还,也,此外”等,这些句子往往就是事物的几点特征,找到一点特征后还要看看下面几段的相同位置,找到隐含的答题点进行概括并加工合并,避免遗漏。
5.理解文章类题/提取文中的某句话,然后问为什么,原因是什么。/把题干带入原文,答案一般就在原文语句的附件,可以用文中相关语句作答,也可以用提取出来的关键词进行加工。审美鉴赏: 1.分析文章标题的作用/本文的标题有何作用/1.全文的线索,推动情节的发展;2.总结文章内容,点名主旨(突出)主题;3.形式新颖,吸引读者;4反映人物情感的变化。(注意,回答不能全部照搬,需要根据文章的内容灵活套用)

表现手法 常见表现手法答题套路
对比/**和**形象鲜明的对比,突出人物(事物)„„的特点。象征/使文章立意高远,含蓄深刻。伏笔/对就俺要出现的**时间做暗示,为情节发展做铺垫。
照应/使文章结构严谨,令主题更加鲜明,使文章(故事情节)更加严密 烘托,渲染/常用来表现环境,营造氛围,抒发感情,突出主题。PS1:
(一)如果文章较短,可以先浏览文章,再读后面所设问题;如若文章较长,可先读所设问题,然后再回过头来阅读文章。
(二)读文章时,要掌握其大意并重视短文中开头和结尾的段落或句子的含义。因为它们往往是文章中心的概括和总结。同时还要注意事情的起因、过程、结果及发生的时间、地点等细节性的问题。这些信息对于你做测试文章事实、细节理解等测试题是必不可少的。
(三)做后面的题时,我们通常采用下面的方法:
①客观性试题可以直接选定。这类题往往比较简单,通读一下文章就可以解答出来。
②释义题。这类题要求对文中的个别词、词组或句子作出解释。做这类题一定要在理解全文大意的基础上,判断词语在文中的确切含义,千万不能脱离原文进行解释。
③总结概括题。这类题要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章的中心思想作出总结、概括和评价。做这类题要对作者的论述意图、观点作进一步剖析,不能断章取义。
④推理判断题。这类题不能从文章中直接找到答案,须对文章进行深层理解,分析事物的内在矛盾及其发展趋势、人物性格和内心活动等。我们可以从以下几个方面进行推理判断:a.根据常识去推理;b.根据计算推理判断;c.根据文章的情节或细节进行判断。
(四)复读文章,核对答案。这是最后一步,千万不可忽视。重读文章,验证答案,确保无误。
PS2:
一、巧用信息整体把握
阅读过程本身就是获取信息的过程,阅读质量的高低取决于捕捉信息的多少。要浏览一下问了哪些问题,从题目的选项中揣度出文章大概主旨是什么。如果是小说,则要主语其人物、情节等,如果是议论文,则要着重把握论点、论据、论证等要素。了解作者的主要写作意图后再整体把握全文,对解题也就心中有数了。
二、确定区域圈点勾画
阅读大段文章主要用精读的方法,需逐字逐句推敲揣摩,故平时练习要养成圈点勾画、多做记号的习惯,可以先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域,和哪些语句有关。确定某一答题区域后,再仔细弄懂这一段每一句的意思,进而理清段落之间的关系,了解行文思路。
三、注意摘取原文
准确解答阅读题最重要最有效的方法是在原文中找答案。大多数题目在文章里是能够“抠”出答案的。当然,找出的语句不一定能够直接使用,还必须根据题目要求进行加工,或摘取词语或压缩主干或抽取要点或重新组织。即使是归纳概括整段整篇文意也必须充分利用原文。
第四篇:第一讲_高中英语阅读理解-事实细节题
阅读
第1讲
事实细节题
细节理解题是高考英语阅读理解中占比重最大的一类题型, 这类题旨在考查考生对事实细节的理解。主要针对who, what, which, why, how, when, where等来提问, 可能只针对文章中某一特定的细节, 也可能涉及若干个细节。
【考纲解读】
1.从近几年实施细节题的考查来看,不仅是数量增加,而且难度也稍有增加,表现为:答案需要跨段落搜集信息;题目设置顺序与全文顺序不一致;题目信息与原文信息表达方式不一致。
2.以考查语言运用能力为主,考查语言知识为辅,考查的侧重点将向语篇能力的运用方面倾斜,要求考生运用自己的综合能力和知识结构去解题。
【命题规律】
考查理解文章主要细节的试题,命题人一般都是通过对文章细节加以改写来考查准确理解细节的能力。
细节题有可能是直接理解题,但多数情况下是间接理解题。要求在理解的基础上,通过思维将理解的内容系统化,条理化,比如计算,排序,选图等。
【命题趋势】
事实细节题呈增多趋势。题目将由简单的寻找信息转向多层次细节推理综合,答案需要跨段落搜集信息,单纯考查事实细节的题不太多。
【常考点清单】
1.Which of the following is true/false/mentioned? 2.What does the writer pay least attention to? 3.Choose the right order of the events given in the passage? 4.All of the following statements may be true/false except…..5.Which of the following is not the result of….?
【重点难点】 1.语义转换
[技巧点拨] 虽然说细节题的答案一般可以在文章中直接或间接地找到, 但是与阅读材料一模一样的正确选项是几乎没有的。而是用不同的词语或句型表达相同的意思, 即语意转换。解题时注意以下几点:
1.顺序性原则:一般说来, 题序与其题眼在文章中的顺序相同。如第53题的答案信息会在第52题的答案信息之后。2.定位信息点:通过寻读法(scanning), 用题干中的关键词在文中搜索, 迅速确定相关词句或

第五篇:高中英语阅读理解中猜词题的解题技巧
高中英语阅读理解猜词题的解题技巧
摘要:本文针对高中阅读理解中的猜词题介绍了几种做题方法,并列举了一些实例进行了分析。
关键词:猜词题 猜词义 做题方法
在英语学习中,我们会遇到许多生词。这时,也不必立即翻阅字典。我们可以利用语境,根据前后词、句子、以及相关信息推测、判断生词的词义。
高中英语阅读理解题中,我们经常碰到猜测词义的题型。在做这类题时,我们可以利用以下一些方法:
一 根据解释猜词义
在文章中,作者为了更好的表达思想,对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等要进行进一步的更明确的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性,我们可以利用它们比较容易地猜出词义。
1、根据定义猜测词义
如果句子或段落是生词的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是词语的含义。例如:The rooster is the national emblem of France thanks to a wordplay: the Latin word 其实是对coq解释,因此两者的意思都为cock。
2、根据同位语、定语猜测词义
虽然同位语、定语不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。例如,同位语in fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S.today.此例中,我们不难看出an endangered wild cat是ocelot 的同位语,也不难看出ocelot的意思。在构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号和括号等。又如Towards the evening, there comes the grand of the opening day ,an extremely exciting horserace.从an exciting horserace ,towards the evening ,of the opening day 等判断,应该是首日的最后一场的压台戏出场了。需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i.e.等副词或短语出现。在定语从句There small …中,根据从句which make whisky 可以判断distillery 是a place where wine is made。
3、根据举例猜测词义
恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:his family took him ,as a boy, hunting and fishing trips and so made him know early the kinds of courage and endurance, which were later shown in his stories.句中“courage ”和“endurance(忍耐)”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出virtues的大致词义“good quality(美德)”。
二 根据上下文内在关系猜词义
根据上下文内在关系猜词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。这也是在完型填空题中常用的方法。
1、根据上下文的情景猜测词义
如:But Portam didn’t find modeling very interesting and instead tried to gain a … …”我们根据上文“…tried to gain a career in acting”说明追求表演有了结果,所以debut应该是“首次登台表演”的意思。再如Lack of parent willpower may contribute more to exercising or overeating,根据more…than under-exercising or overeating 等语境可判断“juvenile obesity” 意为”childhood overweight”。
2、根据对比关系猜测词义
在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词或难词的反义或近义关系的词进行猜测。例如:Another suggestion for 根据famous brands 可以轻易给generic items(一般商品)下定义。
3、根据因果关系猜测词义
在句子或段落种,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系 推知生词词义。例如: The survey also show … …elements which are ——magnesium, copper, calcium, iron and zinc.我们根据上文 “…after a study revealed that unscientific ways of feeding babies and a lack of trace elements are the two biggest threats to youngsters’ health.”可以看出这“五种元素”对孩子的身体发展是重要的。所以crucial 的意思应和important接近。
4、根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义
在句子或段落中,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。例如:tens of thousands of tourists visit New York every year.The tourists come to see buildings应该是skyscrapers的同义词,有替代关系。
三 根据外部相关因素猜词语
外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。我们在依靠分析篇章的上下文内在关系无法猜出词义时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识来确定词义。例如:Book lovers of all ages say the best thing about winter is cuddling up under a blanket with a warm drink in one hand and a good novel in the other.从under a blanket可以常识性地得出“看书” 的状态应该是躺着,所以应选择“to lie close and comfortably” 选项。又如:One night, six of us decided to borrow bikes from the hotel 根据six of us和only three bikes,在联系到double的本义 “双”,就可以判断“double up” 意思为“to share a bike” 即两人合骑一辆自行车。我们还可以依靠构词法方面的知识,从生词(派生词或复合词)本身猜测词义,即根据派生词的前缀后缀,或根据复合词的各部分的意思猜测词义等。
总之,利用各种已知信息进行推测、判断词义是一项重要的做阅读理解题,乃至完型填空题的方法,也是我们平时阅读文章时运用的常用技能。我们可以灵活地综合运用上面提到的几种解题方法,排除生词的障碍,顺利地理解文章的思想内容,提高阅读速度,以及做出相关的题型。
