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：
（
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<
/p>
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。
< br>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
< br>存在一种畏惧心理，
因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧感，
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<
/p>
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
，
wh
o
，
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
word
版本
.
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，<
/p>
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。

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
word
版本
.
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
m
uch
reading ,they must get
glasses, too.
Other people do not
see clearly because their eyes are not exactly
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
objec
t’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
underlined
word
suffer
in
the
third
paragraph
probably
means .
A. experience
B. imagine

D. are affected with
4. Having two eyes
instead of one is particularly useful for .
A. seeing at night
B. seeing objects far away
C.
looking over a wide area D. judging
distances
5. People who suffer from
astigmatism have .
A. one eye
bigger than the other
B. eyes that
are not exactly the right shape
C. a

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
Stream.
Then
he
checked
his
map
by
using
sealed
(
密封的
)
bottles.
The
map
that he finally made is still used,
with only a few changes, today.
1. Why
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.
3.
What did Franklin make after his talks with U.S.
captains?
A.
A
map
of
the
Gulf
Stream.
B.
A
map
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
C. A map of ocean

A.
He
compared
his
own
map
with
other
maps. B.
He
talked
with
many
U.S. captains.
C. He used drifting bottles to check
his map. D. Both B and C.

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
word
版本
.
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
’
t
trees
have ways of sending
message?
1. It can be concluded from
the passage that caterpillars do not feed on
leaves that ______.
A.
are
lying
on
the
ground B.
have
an
unpleasant
taste

bees
don’t
like D.
have

In
a
very
real
sense,
people
who
have
read
good
literature
have
lived
more than people who
cannot or will not read. To 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 o
n
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
‘vacaciones’.
So they did
not go to house where t
he sign outside
said ‘VACANCLES’,
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’ 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 Pa
ris.
when someone
offered me some
more. coffee, I said ‘Thank
word
版本
.
you’ in French. I meant that I would
like some more, However , to my
surprise the coffee pot was taken away!
Later I found out that ‘Thank
you’ in
French means ‘Mo, thank you.’

about ______.
A.
learning
English B.
finding
places to
stay
in
England
C. driving their car on English
roads D. going to England by
car
2.
I
suggested
that
they
stay
at
bed

breakfast
houses

B. it would be much cheaper than
staying in hotels
C. it would be
convenient for them to have dinner
D. there would be no problem about finding
accommodation there
3. “NO VACANCIES”
in Engli
sh means ______.

mind. Mary Cassatt
gave up her social
position (

some more. That was why he had to see him. The two

In

“Your

Robert had

that he wanted the money in order to
make more programmes.
“And
why
do

do
that?”
the

Again,
Robert
almost lost his
temper. “Because more and more people are
listening to
my

programmes.
There’s
great
demand
for
them,”
he
answered.
The FC did not
seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on
the
numbers
of
listeners to
all
EBC
programmes.
The
FC
became
less confident
(

). Robert
threw the report down on the table and told him to
read
it.
The
FC
looked
at
it
in
silence.
The
figures
(

proved
that
he
had
been wrong, but he did
not want to admit it.
“
Well,

he finally said,
“
I may have made a small
mistake.

Robert noticed the
word
“
may.

He
got
up
to
leave.
But he

that

In 1985 a French

Metro. They took cameras to see what
passengers would do if they saw
someone
attached
on
the
platform
or
in
the
trains.
They
acted
out
incidents.
The
incidents
looked
real
but
they
were
all
done
with
the
help
of
actors.
However,
very
few
people
tried
to
help,
and
most
passengers
pretended
not
to notice. in one
incident, a foreigner was attacked by three men.
The
attack was on a train which was
quite full, and although one man tried
to get the passengers to help, they all
refused. It seems that such
behaviour(

Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the
future.
I
see
the
city
of
the
future
in
three
zones(
区域
)---inner(
部
),
middle
and
outer.
In
the
inner
zone
there
will
be
no
private(
私人的
)
cars.
Public
transport(
交通
)
will be free and there will only be
ambulances(
急救车
),
fire
engines,
taxis
and
police
cars.
This
inner
zone
will
be
the
residential(
住宅的
)
and recreational(
娱乐的
) area
of the city. People
will
live
there
and
go
out
to
enjoy
themselves----to
cinemas
and
word
版本
.
restaurants.
There
will
be
parks
and
open
spaces,
trees
and
lakes,
schools
and
universities.
This
way,
when
people
are
at
home,
they
can
go
out
easily
and
safely.
Just
outside
the
inner
zone
there
will
be
big
car
parks
for
all
private
cars.
The banks and most
of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle
zone. These are things that people
don’t need every day.
All the factories and offices
will be
in the outer
zone. People
will
travel
out
of
the
center
to
work,
and
back
to
the
center
in
the
evenings.
The inner zone
will be cleaner and better to live in and there
will be
more space for industry on the
outside.
This is my ideal city of
the future--- a very beautiful place! But
I don’t really think things will ever
be like that!

Baths
and
bothing
have
long
been
considered
of
medical
importance
to
man.
In
Greece
there
are
the
ruins(
废墟
)
of
a
water
system(
系统
)
for
baths
built
over
3,000
years
ago.
The
Romans
had
warm
public
baths.
In
some
baths,
word
版本
.
as
many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by taking bathing
has been popular for centuries.
Modern
medical bathing first became popular in Europe and
by the late
1700’s has also become
popular in the United States.
For many years
frequent(
经常的
) bathing was
believed to be bad for
one
’
s
health.
Ordinary
bathing
just
to
keep
clean
was
avoided(
避免
),
and
perfume was often used
to cover up body smells!
By
the
1700’s
doctors
began
to
say
that
soap
and
water
were
good
for
health.
They believed that it was good for people to be
clean. Slowly,
people began to bathe
more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the
late 19th century, taking a bath on
Saturday night became common.
In
the United States ordinary bathing was slow to
become popular.
During
the
18th
and
early
19th
centuries,
many
Americans
were
know
as
“The
Great Unwashed!” In one
American city , for example, a person was only
allowed to take a bathe every thirty
days! That was a law!
Frequency of
bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People
know
that bathing for cleanliness is
important to health, Doctors know that
dirty bodies increase
the
chance of
diseases. As a
result, in the United
States,
people
generally
bathe
often.
Some
people
bath
once
a
day
at
least.
They consider a daily
bath essential (=necessary) to good health.
1. A water system for baths was built
by over 3,000 years ago.
A. the
Romans B. the Greeks C. the Americans
D. the
Europeans
2. Dirty
bodies can .
A. ruin
one’s business B. caus

3. In the 18th
century doctors believed that being clean was
.
A.
unimportant B.
good
for
health
C.
harmful D.
important
4. The underlined word perfume probably
means .
A. a sweet smelling
substance B. good health
C. a

less than ten inches of
snow falls each year. That is less than half an
inch of water. Ten times that much

Today
I’ll
be
talking
about
the
invention
of
the
camera
and
photography. The camera is often
thought to be a modern invention, but
as
early
as
1727,
a
German
physicist
discovered
that
light
darkens
silver
salt. Used as a camera, a big box was
set up, and a small hole was cut
in one
side to let the light in; he made temporary
pictures on the salt.
Silver
salt
is
still
the
base
of
the
photographic
film
today.
Then
a
French
scientist made the first permanent
(
永久的
) picture by using a
special
piece of metal which was
covered with silver salt. A photograph he made
in 1826 still exists.
The painter De Gear improved the process
(
制作法
) by covering the
metal
also
with
placing
the
common
salt
which
we
can
eat.
This
was
in
1839,
the official date of
beginning of photographs. But the problem was the
printing
of
the
photographs.
And
it
wasn
’
t
until
other
scientists
developed
the
kind
of
photographic
paper
we
now
use
that
good
prints
were
possible and
photography became truly modern. In the 1870’s,
Matthew
Bradey
was
able
to
take
his
famous
pictures
in
American
Civil
War.
In
the
20’s
of
this
ce
ntury,
Georges
Mann
of
the
United
States
simplified
film
developing (
冲洗
),
and Dr Edward Lane invented the
so
—
called
‘
Instant
Camera
’
which
uses
self
—
developing
film.
If
we
say
photography
came
into
existence in 1839, it follows that it
took more than 100 years for the
camera
to reach its present condition of technical
refinement(
密度
).
1. What discovery was the basis of
photography?
A. Light darkens silver
salt. B. Light darkens
natural salt.
C. Light
darkens silver. D. Light
darkens
self--developing film
2. How was the first permanent picture
made?
A. By making use of special
paper. B. By adding common
salt to silver salt.
C.
By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.
D. By using a
special piece of metal.
3. What does the speaker regard as the
official date of beginning of
photography?
A. 1727
B. 1826 C. 1839 D. 1870

4.
According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey
remembered today?
A. He was a
soldier. B. He took war
photographs.
C. He painted
portraits. D. He designed a
portable
camera.
5. What did
Doctor Edward Lane invent?
A. A
cheap process of developing film at home.
B. A new kind of film.
C. An automatic printer.

The
fiddler
crab
(
蟹
)
is
a
living
clock.
It
indicates(=shows)
the
time
of day
by the colour of
its
skin,
which is
dark by day
and
pale by
night.
The
crab
’
s
changing
colour
follows
a
regular
twenty
—
four
hour
plan
that
exactly matches the daily rhythm
(
节奏
) of the sun.
Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin
simply answer to
the
sun’s
rays,
changing
colour
according
to
the
amount
of
light
strikes
it?
To
find
out,
biologists
kept
crabs
in
a
dark
room
for
two
months.
Even
without
daylig
ht,
the
crab’s
skin
colour
continued
to
change
exactly
on
time.
This
characteristic
(
特性
)
probably
developed
gradually
in
answer
to
the
daily rising and setting of the sun, to help
protect the crab from
sunlight and
enemies. After millions of years it has become
completely
regulated
(
受控制
) inside the living body
of the crab.
The biologists noticed
that once each day the colour of the fiddler
crab
is
especially
dark,
and
that
each
day
this
happens
fifty
minutes
later
than on the day
before. From
this
they discovered
that each
crab
follows
not
only
the
rhythm
of
the
sun
but
also
that
of
the
tides
(
潮水
).
The
crab
’
s
period
of
greatest
darkening
is
exactly
the
time
of
low
tide
on
the
beach
where it was cought!
1. The fiddler crab is like a clock
because it changes colour ______.
A
in a regular 24
—hour rhythm
B. in answer to the sun’s
rays
C. at low tide
D. every fifty minutes
2. The crab’s
changing colour ______.
A.
tells
the
crab

he
worked
his
way
through
college.
He
swept
floors,
waited
on
table,
or
worked
in
one
of
the
college
offices.
During
all
this
busy
life,
he
had
been
moving
around
on
his
stumps.
But
one
day
the
doctor
told
him
even
the
stumps
were
not
going
to
last
much
longer.
He
would
soon
have to use a wheel chair.

fitted
with
artificial
legs(

use
his
new
legs.

again
he
marched
the
length
of
the
room
,
and

back

marching.

went
out
on
the
street.

climbed
stairs
and
learned
