英语阅读6大解题技巧

英语阅读6大解题技巧

英语阅读是普遍考生都比较害怕的一部分,英语阅读需要把握文章做到有联系性,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握,并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。可以说,此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。

1.略读文章抓大意
  以最快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的大小标题、首段、每段的首句,以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语(特别是however,but等后的内容)等重要部分,以了解文章的基本结构和内容大意。事实上,一般只需花5~10秒阅读大小标题和段首尾句即可。
2.重点阅读上下句
  因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。
  事实上,如果没有时间来得及通读或细读,或者基础不够扎实即使读也读不懂,建议通过以下技巧,也基本上可以得满分。
3.看看结构变轻松
  在解题过程中,除了每做一道有把握的题后就在选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小,心情变得更加轻松。
  (1)标题结构
  如果考查段落标题,先看看其他标题的语言形式,同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如果其他标题是名词短语,该题答案也是名词短语;如果其他标题是祈使句,该题的答案也是祈使句。如:
  1.The basic function of money.
  Being explaining the basic function of money…
  2.Money lessons.
  Approach money lessons with openness…
  3.74
  Begin at the grocery store.Pick out similar brands of a product-a name brand butter and a generic(无商标产品),for example.You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.
  A.Wise decisions.
  B.The value of money.
  解析:本题要求选小标题。观察其他标题,都是名词短语,因此,本标题也应是名词短语;七个选项中只有A、B两个选项是名词短语,这样就可大大缩小选择范围;浏览两个选项,再看空后文字,发现decisions与choices大意相同(近义词),故选A项。
  (2)句子结构
  如果正确选项只是某个句子的一个部分,就要看看空后这个部分是不是句子,如果是句子,看看是否有连词,如果没有连词,要选的正确选项就应是短语或是带有连词的从句。如:
  Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady,gradual increases in the length of the runs.36,buy the best-fitting,best-built running shoes you can find.
  A.After six days
  B.For a good marathon runner
  C.Before you begin your training
  E.If they still feel good,you can begin running in them
  解析:从句式结构上看,逗号后是祈使句,没有连词,正确答案要么是带有连词的从句,要么是一个短语,只有A、B、C、E四个选项符合,这样就缩小了选择范围;根据空前句中的preparation(准备),和常识可知是“训练前”,故选C项。
4.词语复现显神功
  作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时,与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现,这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现;以同义词的形式重复出现,叫同义复现;以近义词或近义表达(意思相近,表达方式不同)的形式重复出现,叫近义复现;以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现,叫同根复现。还有上义词与下义词的复现(adult是teacher,parent的上义词,而teacher,parent就是adult的下义词)。
  词语复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段,如:
  39 If you’ve been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a“victim mentality”.
  A.Learn to really trust yourself.
  C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
  D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.
  解析:要求选段落主题句。空后句三次出现victim一词,七个选项中只有选项C中有victim,原词复现。将选项C“不要把自己当作受害者”代入空格处,与下文衔接紧密,故选C项。本段结构:总(总领)—分(细说)。
  值得注意的是,有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用,但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项,只是正确的可能性更大,在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。是否为正确答案,还得将含复现词的选项代入原文,看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接,只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。如:
  38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
  A.Learn to really trust yourself.
  B.It is putting confidence in someone.
  C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
  解析:要求选段落主题句。不要因为选项B与空后句中都有confidence,原词复现就选B,也不要因为选项C中与空后句中都有yourself,原词复现就选C。选项A中的trust yourself与空格后的Having confidence in yourself(信任你自己)是同义复现,所以该选项是重点考虑对象;将选项A代入原文,上下句意为“学会真正地信任你自己。信任你自己有助于做出更好的选择……”语义衔接紧密,故选A。
5.代词逻辑亦管用
  代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一,故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。如:
  Try to solve the problem.After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends,it’s time to get down to business.74 Even if you can’t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.
  D.Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.
  E.You need to figure out what the problem is.
  F.And don’t forget about your friends.
  解析:本段主题句是“Try to solve the problem”,空后句又有solve it,其中it指什么?当然是theproblem,因此,前句中一定会出现problem一词,七个选项中只有E项符合。
  根据空格句与上下句之间的逻辑关系来解题,如解释关系(对前句或对主题的进一步解释)、并列关系、转折关系、因果关系、递进关系等。如:
  ●Get a coach
  51,so get help.Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses,here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.(2013新课标卷II)
  C.Turn your back on too many rules
  D.Check the rules about dos and don’ts
  E.Whatever the presentation,public speaking is tough
  解析:由空后的so(因此,引出结果)可知,空处要填的应是“要得到帮助”的原因;选项E中public speaking is tough(当众演讲是困难的)正是寻求帮助的原因,故选E项。(因果逻辑关系)
6.篇章需要基本功
  有的题利用文章或段落的“总—分”结构关系来解,也很管用,但需要以下基本功:懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构通常是主题句(总)+支撑句(分)(分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等)。如:
  From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often:ability,money,and time.36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.
  A.Try new things.
  B.Ability is easily improved.
  C.Make three or four instead.
  解析:空前主题句中提到ability,money,time三个主要原因,空后提到了money与time,所以这里应是谈ability,故选B项。
  众所周知,有问就有答,问什么就答什么。根据这一常识,对解题也很有帮助。如:
  The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.(2014新课标卷I)
  C.We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.
  D.So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?
  G.Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.
  解析:由空后By doingsth.(通过做某事)这个表示方式的介词短语可知,此空应该是一个以how开头的疑问句,故选D项。
  此外,有时利用词语同现也有助于选出正确选项。所谓词语同现,就是有相互关联的词语在上下文中有同时出现的可能性。如school,teacher,student,headmaster,class,test,fall,pass,maths,learn等这些词就有可能在同一篇文章中同时出现。如:
  Your children need to be deeply curious.37 Ask kids,“What ingredients(配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?”
  A.Encourage kids to cook with you.
  B.And we can’t forget science education.
  C.We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.
  解析:与空后句中的ingredients(配料),pancakes(薄煎饼)可能同时出现的,只有选项A中的cook,故选A项(鼓励孩子跟你一起烹饪)。
