主旨大意表達(dá)題。通讀全文把握大意，本文主要介紹Goldman和他

的購物手推車。

【專題突破】閱讀表達(dá)題是自2007年開始山東省高考試題中增加的

一種新的測(cè)試題型，要求考生在閱讀所給短文，然后按照題目要求回

答文后的五個(gè)問題，每個(gè)問題3分，總分15分。該題型的測(cè)試目的

是從多方位多角度考查考生通過閱讀獲取信息、處理信息并進(jìn)行書面

表達(dá)的能力。比傳統(tǒng)的閱讀理解題型更具綜合性和主觀性，更能體現(xiàn)

對(duì)考生的綜合語言運(yùn)用能力的考查?？忌谧鲩喿x表達(dá)題時(shí)，注意如

下解題方法與技巧：

1、主旨概括：主要考查考生對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的整體把握能力。要想答好

該題，考生必須有很強(qiáng)的概括能力或歸納能力，要善于尋找能夠概括

全文的主題段落或者主題句，剔除文中的細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)或者作者所用的論

據(jù)，即要分清主旨和細(xì)節(jié)，概括出來的中心意思一定要能夠覆蓋全文

或整個(gè)段落，絕對(duì)不可太籠統(tǒng)離題太遠(yuǎn)或者以偏概全；文中標(biāo)題格式

可以是完整的句子，簡潔的短語，也可以用問題的形式，同時(shí)要注意

字?jǐn)?shù)要求。具體的表達(dá)可以先根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容找出關(guān)鍵詞，再在此基礎(chǔ)

上確定文章標(biāo)題或者文章的mainidea。

2、同義句替換：只有準(zhǔn)確理解所給句子的意義，才能準(zhǔn)確快速地找

出原文中意義相同的句子。

3、填空：回答此類問題時(shí)一，一定首先注意弄清楚上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,

如遞進(jìn)、轉(zhuǎn)折、并列、對(duì)比、因果等等；然后根據(jù)上下文的含義搞清

楚空白處該填句子還是短語或者單詞，再讀上下文，最后確定答案。

4、翻譯句子：在該類題目中要求翻譯的句子往往是結(jié)果較為復(fù)雜或

者包括一些特定習(xí)語的句子。因此再翻譯之前一定要先分析句子結(jié)

構(gòu)，并結(jié)合文章中心思想以及上下文弄清句子所在的語境，同時(shí)還要

注意英、漢兩種語言及其問題特征的差異，最后在忠實(shí)于原文的基礎(chǔ)

上，把畫線部分的句子翻譯成符合漢語表達(dá)習(xí)慣的句子。

5、封閉性問題：封閉性問題是指答案是固定或唯一的問題，一般可

在文章中找到明確的答案或依據(jù)，包括常見的wh-questionso

6、開放性問題：開放性問題是閱讀表達(dá)中主觀性最強(qiáng)的試題，要求

考生結(jié)合個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)、經(jīng)驗(yàn)來回答相關(guān)問題。

7、其他類型：該題是結(jié)合文章的不同題材和體裁給出的除以上6種

類型以外的類型的題。比如設(shè)計(jì)圖表題，推理判斷題等。

1.【解析】Ifthisisthecase,it'sonlybecausewehaven'tdevelopedan

叩propriatediscriminationindealingwithit.該題為同意句替換題，細(xì)讀

所給句子，不難得出其意義“這些令人惱火的情況之所以存在，是因

為我們沒有對(duì)電子郵件進(jìn)行分類的能力”。然后對(duì)照原文，就很容易

找到其同意句了。

2.【解析】E-mail(s)canbehandledinthefollowingways./Herearethe

waystodealwithe-mail(s)./handlinge-mail(s)isanart.該題為填空

題。做該類題目首先要根據(jù)上下文搞清楚所填內(nèi)容是句子還是短語或

單詞。從該題要求來看我們可以知道此處要填入合適的句子。聯(lián)系上

下文可知，下文所列三條都是處理電子郵件的方法，那就不難知道，

此處所填句子內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是一個(gè)概括性較強(qiáng)的topicsentence,這樣我們

就不難知道該填什么內(nèi)容了。

3.［解析】Youmayreplytoalonge-mailbriefly./Youdon'thavetowrite

alongreplye-mail.該題為封閉性問題，要求答出最后一段所給的建

議。做這種類型的題目時(shí)，首先要讀懂該段要告訴讀者的是什么信息,

然后根據(jù)要求進(jìn)行總結(jié)，因?yàn)橛凶謹(jǐn)?shù)限制，所以答題時(shí)要特別注意如

何用詞和如何組織語言。從最后一段的第一句我們就可以知道這條建

議是告訴讀者“在回復(fù)e-mail時(shí)，不必和對(duì)方來信的長度一樣”。其實(shí)

這句話就是該問題的答案，但是由于有字?jǐn)?shù)限定，我們就必須改變一

下說法，使答案的字?jǐn)?shù)控制在10個(gè)單詞以內(nèi)，這樣就可以避免學(xué)生

照抄原文，從而達(dá)到考察學(xué)生靈活運(yùn)用語言能力的目的。

4.【解析】Toshowawayofhandlinge-mail（s）withanexample./To

introducethetopicofthetext.該題屬于其他類型的題目，要求考生寫

出作者在第一段中提到他美國朋友的寫作意圖。縱觀全文不難知道，

該短文的主旨是向讀者介紹處理電子郵件的方法。而作者在第一段引

用他美國朋友處理郵件的方法做為例子，目的正是為了揭示文章主

題。

5.【解析】用簡短的話回復(fù)冗長的郵件完全不失禮節(jié)。/用簡短的話

回復(fù)馬拉松式的電子郵件也是禮貌的。該題為句子翻譯題。做該題時(shí)

應(yīng)先分析句子成分，搞清每個(gè)意群的含義，然后結(jié)合上下文以及文章

的中心思想，調(diào)整成符合漢語表達(dá)習(xí)慣的通順的漢語句子。翻譯該句,

關(guān)鍵是搞清處兩個(gè)短語的含義，一個(gè)是withintheboundof（在…范圍

內(nèi)），另一個(gè)是inrespondingto（作答，回復(fù)）。

【學(xué)法導(dǎo)航】考生在做閱讀表達(dá)題時(shí)要注意如下兒個(gè)方面的問題：1.

閱讀時(shí)理清文章的脈絡(luò)、掌握文章的主旨大意，并能運(yùn)用簡潔的語言

表達(dá)。同時(shí)對(duì)文章分層次理解，先把握結(jié)構(gòu)、框架性的東西，然后理

解細(xì)節(jié)。綜合全篇推斷作者的觀點(diǎn)、態(tài)度、意圖等。因?yàn)閿⑹鲂栽囶}

有字?jǐn)?shù)的限制，因此要言簡意賅，回答要符合試題要求；2.回答要有

針對(duì)性觀點(diǎn)要明確。不可以即覺得一種觀點(diǎn)合理，又覺得另一種觀點(diǎn)

也可以；在提出對(duì)建議的看法時(shí),要明確表達(dá)某種觀點(diǎn)是好的，然后

陳述這種觀點(diǎn)的優(yōu)勢(shì)，切記在支持了某種觀點(diǎn)后再敘述其他建議的長

處；3.不要摘抄文章原句。具體說考生在復(fù)習(xí)備考訓(xùn)練該題型時(shí)要依

據(jù)題型特點(diǎn)，正確處理各種類型的題目，要做到如下幾點(diǎn)：

1、文章標(biāo)題、主旨概括類型

這類問題要求考生在理解全文后歸納文章的要點(diǎn)，概括中心思想?？?/p>

生需要把握作者的觀點(diǎn)、態(tài)度、語氣等，分析文章的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，抓住

文章開頭的主題句或文章最后的結(jié)論，捕捉與題目有關(guān)的信息，從而

找出能概括文章主旨的題目和中心思想。尤其要注意文章的首位段的

首末句，這里往往是文章的主旨所在。主旨概括要有高度的針對(duì)性，

要新穎，語言要簡練，格式要正確。

⑴必須具有高度的概括性和針對(duì)性。要抓住文章的中心要點(diǎn)，并結(jié)

合文章講述的范圍，對(duì)文章的標(biāo)題或主旨進(jìn)行高度的概括。要分清文

章的主旨和細(xì)節(jié)，決不能以偏概全或是毫無目的，離題千里。

(2)標(biāo)題要簡潔、必須新穎。作為文章的標(biāo)題必須在概括全文的基礎(chǔ)

上，盡量給人以新穎、全新的感覺。

(3)注意書寫格式正確。文章標(biāo)題一般不要使用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)，可以是完

整的句子，可以是簡短的短語，也可以是問題的形式，同時(shí)要注意字

數(shù)的要求(標(biāo)題要求一般不超過10個(gè)詞)。標(biāo)題一般要求實(shí)詞第一

個(gè)字母大寫，虛詞不大寫，如果虛詞位于開頭也大寫；也可以只大寫

開頭第一個(gè)字母；也有的所有的字母都大寫。所以為了保證不出現(xiàn)這

方面的錯(cuò)誤，最好只把第一個(gè)單詞的首字母大寫，其它都小寫(專有

詞匯需要大寫的除外，如China等)。

2、同義句替換

此題型相對(duì)于其他題型較容易。對(duì)于這種類型的問題，應(yīng)注意英語語

言的轉(zhuǎn)換理解，要對(duì)句子的意義進(jìn)行正確的理解，弄透所給句子的意

思，然后根據(jù)語句中的關(guān)鍵詞，迅速找出文中意義相同的句子，然后

規(guī)范的抄在指定的地方。具體步驟如下：

⑴注意語句中的關(guān)鍵詞，迅速找到相關(guān)語句。關(guān)鍵詞往往為表示時(shí)

間、地點(diǎn)等的狀語，然后與題目值得語句進(jìn)行比對(duì)，確定其相似性。

(2)抄寫規(guī)范、清晰。書寫時(shí)要工整，避免抄寫時(shí)粗心大意，不能夠

出現(xiàn)詞匯、標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)等的錯(cuò)誤。

3、完成句子

語境和上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系是回答該類問題關(guān)鍵。語句間的邏輯性

是我們解決這類問題的著眼點(diǎn)，要找出語句間的一些遞進(jìn)、并列、對(duì)

比、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果等的關(guān)系，在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上把握上下文之間的邏

輯關(guān)系，要充分考慮整句話的語言環(huán)境，特別注意上下，前后句子的

弦外之意，確定需要填寫的是短語還是完整句子，并注意書寫時(shí)的問

題，如大小寫等。該類問題的字?jǐn)?shù)要求會(huì)比較少，所以語言一定要簡

練；答完后要檢查一下，看上下文是否通順，能否恢復(fù)文章作者原本

想表達(dá)的思想、內(nèi)容或意圖。

4、封閉型問題

對(duì)于封閉性的問題，首先應(yīng)認(rèn)真審題，弄清楚題目的要求，在文章中

找到明確的依據(jù)，回答應(yīng)該具有針對(duì)性，緊扣題目，語言既要完整又

要簡潔?；卮鹨哂嗅槍?duì)性，要避免答非所問。

5、開放型問題

開放性問題是閱讀表達(dá)中主觀性最強(qiáng)的試題，需要考生在準(zhǔn)確把握文

章的主旨的前提下，結(jié)合個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)、經(jīng)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)出符合文章相關(guān)內(nèi)容

和題目要求的答案。該題的答案是多樣性和主觀性的，但同時(shí)必須符

合題目的要求。具體需要注意以下兒點(diǎn)：

(1)圍繞主旨，理清要點(diǎn)。在正確把握文章主旨的前提下，如果文中

有相應(yīng)提示，通讀全文根據(jù)原文找相關(guān)答案，理清要點(diǎn)、言簡意賅。

注意詞數(shù)要求，打好草稿，寫明要點(diǎn)。

結(jié)合經(jīng)驗(yàn)，自由發(fā)揮。如果文中沒有提示，要求結(jié)合個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)、經(jīng)驗(yàn)

自由發(fā)揮，圍繞文章的。

(2)中心觀點(diǎn)列出要點(diǎn)，再用加法在字?jǐn)?shù)要求范圍內(nèi)擴(kuò)點(diǎn)成句，潤色

上檔。答案具有多樣性，但自由發(fā)揮的同時(shí)要注意圍繞文章的中心觀

點(diǎn)展開論述，防止不著邊際，離題萬里。

【專題綜合】
