一：解題步驟:Step1

閱讀題目預(yù)測文章內(nèi)容，在題目中劃出定位詞

預(yù)測題目目的：是指在閱讀正文前，正確理解題目所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容,對(duì)文章進(jìn)行的預(yù)測性的主動(dòng)思維。應(yīng)該先讀題目，后看文章，同時(shí)根據(jù)題目設(shè)想一下文章可能涉及的內(nèi)容，以及所使用的詞匯量的類型與范圍。

一：解題步驟:Step1

閱讀題目預(yù)測文章內(nèi)容，在題目中3

二：閱讀步驟:Step2

利用定位詞詞,在文章中查找答案

查讀(Scanning):目的主要是為了從大量的資料中迅速查找某一項(xiàng)具體事實(shí)或某一項(xiàng)特定信息,如數(shù)字、時(shí)間、人名、地名等。在查讀時(shí),目光要自上而下、一目數(shù)行地尋視與答題內(nèi)容相關(guān)的詞句,與此無關(guān)的內(nèi)容要很快略過（略讀）。在最短的時(shí)間內(nèi)掠過盡可能多的印刷材料,找到所需要的信息。

二：閱讀步驟:Step2

利用定位詞詞,在文章中查找4

三：閱讀步驟:Step3

查漏補(bǔ)缺

用最快的速度通讀文章后，找到自己需要的信息，并在有關(guān)的句子下做出各種記憶符號(hào)后，把沒有回答出來的問題，重新回鍋，并檢查已答出來的題目是否正確。

三：閱讀步驟:Step3

查漏補(bǔ)缺5解題技巧仔細(xì)閱讀題分為五種題型：主旨題細(xì)節(jié)題語義題推理題觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。解題技巧仔細(xì)閱讀題分為五種題型：6一

細(xì)節(jié)題

首先應(yīng)當(dāng)仔細(xì)閱讀題目弄清題目的具體要求，以及所給4個(gè)選項(xiàng)，然后在題目或選項(xiàng)中確定關(guān)鍵詞。利用關(guān)鍵詞回文章中定位找出文章中相對(duì)應(yīng)的細(xì)節(jié)性句子，與4個(gè)選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對(duì)照，以確定正確答案。注意：關(guān)鍵詞的確定也有技巧，如果題目或選項(xiàng)中有專有名詞、數(shù)字要將此定位為關(guān)鍵詞。因?yàn)檫@些詞有特點(diǎn)，在文章中很容易找到，所以很快就可以定位相應(yīng)的細(xì)節(jié)，從而找到正確答案。如果題目或選項(xiàng)中沒有明顯的詞，可以定位主要的名詞或動(dòng)詞為關(guān)鍵詞。一細(xì)節(jié)題首先應(yīng)當(dāng)仔細(xì)閱讀題目7二主旨題確定文章有無主題句，以及主題句在文章中的位置文章的主題句通常位于首段或尾段，有時(shí)也出現(xiàn)在文章的中間段落。段落的主題句通常位于段首或段尾，有時(shí)也在段落的中間。如有主題句就能很容易確定文章或段落的主題。如果沒有明顯的主題句就帶著問題細(xì)讀文章的首段和尾段找出其中心，抓住每個(gè)段落的主題句，明確文章的中心思想。注意：如果文章主旨題出現(xiàn)在第一題，先不要做這道題，把后面的題做完后再回頭做第一題，這樣可以節(jié)省很多時(shí)間。二主旨題確定文章有無主題句，以及主題句在文章中的位置8三推理題對(duì)某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推斷先在文中找到該細(xì)節(jié)所在的句子，在正確理解該句的基礎(chǔ)上推斷出未知的事實(shí)。根據(jù)文章推測作者的觀點(diǎn)、目的、態(tài)度先確定文章的中心思想，再根據(jù)中心和作者所陳述的事實(shí)及細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推斷。

推斷文章中沒出現(xiàn)的前一段或下一段的內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀并理解了文章內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上，重點(diǎn)分析文章的首、尾兩段尤其是文章的開始句和結(jié)束句。三推理題對(duì)某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推斷9四

語義題

找到該詞或短語所在的句子。確定詞性

確定詞性以及單詞、短語等在句子中所起的語法作用，明確整個(gè)句子的含義。聯(lián)系上下文分析對(duì)上下文進(jìn)行分析，確定上下文中是否有該詞的定義、同義詞、近義詞或反義詞，從而可以判斷出正確答案。根據(jù)上下文邏輯關(guān)系聯(lián)系日常生活中的有關(guān)常識(shí)，分析出合理的場景因素推斷單詞或短語的含義。四語義題找到該詞或短語所在的句子。10五觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題在回答態(tài)度類問題時(shí)，對(duì)文章體裁的考查是一個(gè)非常重要的方面。一般來說，在說明文中作者的態(tài)度是客觀的（objective）或中立的（neutral）;而在議論文中，作者的觀點(diǎn)才會(huì)顯得多種多樣。態(tài)度題中常用的選項(xiàng)有：positive（積極的）、negative（消極的）、neutral（中立的）、approval（贊成的）、disapproval（不贊成的）、indifferent（漠不關(guān)心的）、sarcastic（諷刺的）、critical（批評(píng)的）、optimistic（樂觀的）、pessimistic（悲觀的）等。五觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題在回答態(tài)度類問題時(shí)，對(duì)文章體裁的考查是一個(gè)非常重11四級(jí)真題PassageOne
