【答案】

1.B2.D3.B4.A

【分析】

本文是記敘文。文章講述J'Bissell寫的《追逐大海:迷失在中亞帝國的幽靈》這本書。這本書是Bissell在

烏茲別克斯坦做志愿者后寫的，是對烏茲別克斯坦人生活的一個(gè)快速觀察。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的"Afewyearslater,stillattractedtothecountry,hereturnedtoUzbekistantowrite

anarticleaboutthedisappearanceoftheAraSea”可知，幾年后，Bissell仍然被這個(gè)國家所吸引。他回到烏茲

別克斯坦寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章。因此推斷出對這個(gè)國家的興趣讓Bissell先生再次返回烏茲別克斯

坦。故選B。

2.詞句猜測題。劃線句是第二段首句，that用來指代上文提的事情，因此推斷that指代寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海

消失的文章這件事，根據(jù)第一段最后一句"Afewyearslater,stillattractedtothecountry,hereturnedto

UzbekistantowriteanarticleaboutthedisappearanceoftheAralSea（幾年后，仍然被這個(gè)國家所吸引。他回到

烏茲別克斯坦寫了一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章）“可知，that指代寫了一篇關(guān)于死海消失的文章這件事，故選

D。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段"ThisisaquicklookatlifeinUzbekistan,madeoffriendlinessandwarmth,but

alsoitsdarkersideofsociety.InSamarkand,MrBisselladmiresthearchitecturalwonders,whileonhiswayto

Bukharahegetsatasteofpolicemethodswhensuspectedofdrugdealing.InFerghana,heattendsamountain

funeral（葬禮）followedbyastrangedrinkingparty.AndinKarakalpakstan,heissaddenedbytheduststorms,

diseasesandfishingboatsstuckmilesfromthesea.“可知，在烏茲別克斯坦的旅途中，MrBissell既體會到了

友善和溫暖，也看到了社會的黑暗面。在撒馬爾罕，MrBissell欣賞到了的建筑奇觀。在前往布哈拉的路

上，他因?yàn)楸粦岩蛇M(jìn)行毒品交易，他嘗到了警察的伎倆。在費(fèi)爾干納，他參加了一個(gè)山區(qū)葬禮，然后參加

了一個(gè)奇怪的酒會。在卡拉卡爾帕克斯坦，他為沙塵暴、疾病和被困在數(shù)英里外的漁船而難過。由此可

知，在旅途中，他經(jīng)歷了很多事情。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，B選項(xiàng)（充滿事件的，多事的）可以表達(dá)此意。故選B。

4.推理判斷題。文章第一段提到書的作者的烏茲別克斯坦之行，引出他寫的書，接下來三段講述了他的

書《追逐大海:迷失在中亞帝國的幽靈》的故事內(nèi)容，是烏茲別克斯坦生活的一個(gè)快速觀察。因此推斷本文

的寫作目的是介紹一本書。故選A。

高考記敘文命題特點(diǎn)及閱讀技巧

一、記敘文寫作特點(diǎn)

記敘文是一種記載和敘述事件由來，描繪事物和人物情景狀態(tài)、過程及發(fā)展的文體。消息、通訊、傳記、

游記、小說、童話、寓言以及記敘性的散文等文體，都屬于記敘文的范疇。

就寫作順序而言，記敘文要么是按時(shí)間順序，要么是按事件的重要性的順序來展開。不管是哪種敘述方

法，最后經(jīng)常會有一兩句話抒發(fā)作者的情緒與感悟，這是記敘文的精華所在，也是閱讀的難點(diǎn)所在，可謂”

一篇之妙，在于落句"。

二、記敘文命題特點(diǎn)

從命題形式上看，常見的有細(xì)節(jié)理解、詞義猜測、主旨大意、推理判斷、作者意圖等題型。除了推論或

詞義辨識題，記敘文命題的順序一般都會按照文章的脈絡(luò)和故事發(fā)展的順序?qū)訉油七M(jìn)，否則就會覺得別扭，

邏輯不通。同時(shí)，記敘文需要事件的發(fā)展過程作支撐，一半以上的題目都會用來檢測考生對故事的了解，因

此，我們必須弄明白整件事情的發(fā)展脈絡(luò)。而其余像主旨大意、作者意圖之類的題目，則取決于文章的落句，

集中考查對作者所發(fā)的感觸的理解。總之，細(xì)節(jié)題是記敘文命題的主流題型。而寓意之類的題則是高一層次

的題，有一定的難度和區(qū)分度，它們是拉開距離的題，答對了這些題，你才有可能成功地躋身高分之列.綜

上所述，記敘文的應(yīng)對策略即：不漏細(xì)節(jié)，奠定基礎(chǔ)；把準(zhǔn)寓意，方能成功。

三、記敘文答題技巧

一把鑰匙開一把鎖。要解答好記敘文閱讀理解題，就應(yīng)該有一套針對性強(qiáng)的方法和技巧。下面是我們在

閱讀教學(xué)中積累下來的一點(diǎn)心得體會，希望能對大家有所幫助。

No.l順藤摸瓜

記敘文中有大量的事件發(fā)展過程中的細(xì)節(jié)，包括記敘文的5W(what,who,when,where,why)要素。因

此我們作答細(xì)節(jié)題的時(shí)候，就沒有那么復(fù)雜，一般只需要由前到后，從上到下，一題一題地做就可以了。

No.2左顧右盼

在做題過程中，我們大都不能在文中找到與題干一字不差的詞語或句子。這時(shí)我們需要認(rèn)真研究問題，

抓住題干中的關(guān)鍵詞語，然后到文中準(zhǔn)確地找到與之相關(guān)的語句，或是疑似語句的位置，接著去左顧，或右

盼，在前句或后句尋找線索。

No.3刨根問底

如前所述，主旨大意題或推理判斷、作者意圖題等實(shí)際上是同一類型的問題，或者說是可用同種方法解

答的題型。在解答此類題目的時(shí)候，不可被題干的表象所迷惑，要像剝洋蔥一樣，一層一層地剝；在四個(gè)可

選項(xiàng)中，一個(gè)一個(gè)地去證實(shí)，去排除。特別是解答推論或暗指類的題目，比如"Whatcanbeinferredfrom...?"

或是Whatdoestheauthorimplyin...?"之類的題目，文中所陳述的往往不是答案。我們要在文前文后去查

找，在字里行間里去尋覓。有時(shí)還少不了借助自己的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)和常理來體會這言外之意。

No.4撥云見日

每年的高考閱讀題中，特別是記敘文的閱讀題，都會出現(xiàn)一至兩道詞義猜測題.而這些詞匯往往是你素

昧平生的，或者和你有點(diǎn)頭之交，在文中卻另有新意的，總之，猜的是那些在高考詞匯表要求之外的詞匯。

小小的一個(gè)詞，一個(gè)短語，考核的不是你的語法的熟練程度，也不是你的記憶力，而是你對文章通篇或者一

個(gè)段落的整體把握和變通能力。

這時(shí)，你不僅需要"左顧右盼"，還需要在幾句話，一個(gè)段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行間中快速搜尋，

看看前面、后面都發(fā)生了些什么；反復(fù)琢磨人物、事物，或者人物與事物之間的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，才可能在最后撥

開團(tuán)團(tuán)迷霧，從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出正確答案。
