33、文章的概貌,掌握文章的大意,作阅读理 解的第一遍时可用此方法。(2)查阅法(Scanning):考生可以不需要阅读整篇文章,而只需找出 可能包含所需信息的部分,然后加以阅读就行。查阅法主要用于获得具体 的信息,即谁、什么、什么时间、什么地点、什么原因以及如何发生等有 关或者具体的数字。(3)同义互释法:在高考中有些深层理解或者判断推理的问题可以采 用同义互释法。二)解题思路1.浏览试题,明确要求。在阅读文章前,最好先浏览一下文章后面的 题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章,可使思路更敏捷,而且也便于阅 读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。2.通读全文,抓住主要内容,要在不影响理解的前提下,尽可能
34、地阅 读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅读时,如遇到不熟 悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子,不要停下来苦思冥想,继续读下去, 通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理解了。4.有针对性地仔细阅读,找寻所需信息。在前面的基础上,可进行有 针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过,而对于和问题有关的内 容认真阅读,还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结 合起来,逐条分析,综合判断,找出正确答案。5.进行合理的推理判断。对文章有了全面的了解之后,可以按照文章 要求以及上下文之间的关系,做出推理判断。在进行推理判断的时候,需 要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面
35、的因素。二、学习建议一)扩大词汇量,强化阅读训练实际阅读中,考生掌握的词汇量应在 3000 个词以上。这些词汇是学 生需要掌握的词汇,即考生要能认会用。考生要扩大词汇量,增强语感, 就必须通过加大阅读量来实现。阅读时应注意以下两点:1.精泛并举。大力开展课外阅读活动,争取逐步达到新的英语课程 标准的要求,确保达到学会使用3000 个单词和 400500 个习惯用语 和固定搭配的要求。2.持之以恒。英语阅读能力的培养是一个渐进的复杂过程,要养成每 天阅读英语的习惯,循序渐进,持之以恒,广泛阅读。每天最好读 23 篇英语短文,记叙文、应用文、说明文等体裁的文章交叉阅读,并做好后 面的相关测试题二)
36、树立正确的阅读理念,学会基本的理解技巧首先,要学会抓大意。寻找主题句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。 其次,要学会疏理结构。三)形成有效的阅读策略,养成良好的阅读习惯养成默读习惯,使注意力集中在文字符号上,纠正唇读、心读、喉读 等做法,以免分散精力,影响阅读速度。要克服指读、回视、重读等不良 习惯。这些习惯容易使理解只停留在一些词或一些句子上,从而使获得的 信息支离破碎。要善于抓住句子中的核心词,从一个句子快速地扫视到另 一个句子,进行连贯性理解。三、题型归纳阅读测试题一般可分为以下几种题型:考查文章细节理解的测试题 This article is particularly written fo
