1.從近年英語高考閱讀試題看英語高考走向。試題在結構上雖然沒有變化，但近幾年

的試題在穩(wěn)定中有發(fā)展，尤其表現(xiàn)在對閱讀的要求上。1999年、2000年、2001年高考試

題逐步加強了對閱讀速度的要求。2001年閱讀理解題由5篇短文組成，這一點與前兩年相

同。但是由于聽力題占了很多時間，閱讀理解題的答題時間縮短，要求閱讀速度更快。1997

年文章總字數(shù)為1723字，讀速為每分鐘34.5字,2001年總字數(shù)達到2335字，讀速達到

每分鐘66.71字。總的看來，近幾年的高考試題確實體現(xiàn)了《考試說明》對命題的要

求，努力試圖在試卷上把考查的重點放在考查學生分析問題的方法和解決問題的能力上，而

不是單純地考查學生的記憶;把考查的重點放在對篇章的理解上，而不是簡單的死記硬背。英

語考試加強對語言運用能力的測試，尤其是綜合性試題在試卷上所占的比重越來越大，單純

考查語言知識的題所占的比重越來越小。但是這并不意味著我們可以不重視語言知識的學

習，因為在考查語言運用的過程中同時就考查了語言知識。因此，在復習備考的過程中絕對

不應該放松對基礎知識的復習。相反，只有在掌握了堅實的基礎知識的情況下才能正確理解

所讀到的信息。2.閱讀理解考什么和怎么考從以上統(tǒng)計中我們看出，高考對考生

在獲取信息和處理信息的速度上是有要求的，而且這一要求在逐年提高。從目前的統(tǒng)計數(shù)字

看，高考閱讀量還有提高的余地。最新的高中課程標準對合格高中畢業(yè)生閱讀外語速度的要

求是每分鐘70-80個詞。其次，閱讀理解文章的題材和體裁也更加多樣化，更貼近生

活。每份試題中至少有十幾個單詞標中文注釋，除此之外，還有一些課本里沒有出現(xiàn)過的詞

需要學生從文章的上下文中去猜詞義。另外，近兒年來高考英語閱讀理解試題中增加了“搜

尋信息”的考查內容。例如，1996年試題E閱讀給出了3個賽事的通知，其后的第70小

題就是這方面的考查內容:IfyouwanttofindsomethingtodoforSaturdayafternoon,which

telephonenumberwillyoucall?總的來說，高考英語篇章閱讀理解試題對考生提出了如

下的能力要求：1.豐富的英語詞語知識和鞏固、扎實、熟練的英語語法知識。2.

綜合運用各項英語基礎知識和閱讀技巧，進行快速閱讀、獲取信息的能力。3.正確的閱

讀方法、科學的閱讀技巧及合理的閱讀速度達到大綱規(guī)定的要求70-80wpm。4.正

確分析認識文章結構，理解各段落、各層次之間的邏輯關系和表達的方法。5.良好的學

習品質，敏捷的思維活動，正確的思考習慣。要求學生善于捕捉信息，理解深刻，推導合理，

判斷準確。6.豐富的閱歷，廣博的知識，多樣的背景知識。閱讀理解的能力要求，

主要是通過短文后的多項選擇試題進行檢測的?？傮w來說，其能力要求內容主要包括如下幾

個方面:a理解作者的思想、觀點，意圖;b理解主題思想，進行總結概括;c理解文章中所提

供的細節(jié)，其中包括詞義、句義和段落大意。d透過表面文字，挖掘和理解文章的深層次含

義。通過分析對比，總結歸納，推理判斷等諸項思維活動，推導隱含的寓意。從歷年的高考

試題來看這種能力要求反映在多項選擇題中，可分為:1認定事實，理解主題;2理解文章中

所提供的細節(jié)，綜合概括并推導結論;3推理判斷，聯(lián)想猜測，辨別語氣;4理解人物性格，

識別圖形等。如果把這些試題的考查內容概括起來;基本上分為4類試題：①猜測詞義試題:

②理解認定事實試題直接理解和語義轉換理解；③歸納概括試題；④推理判斷題。3.

歷年高考的閱讀理解分析例如:2000年高考閱讀理解A節(jié)選NewYork,10

November,5:27p.m.,yesterday.Biggestpowerfailureinthecity'shistory.Thousandsofpeople

gotstuckinlifts.MartinSaltzmanspentthreehoursbetweenthe21stand22ndfloorsoftheEmpire

andplayingwordgames.Onemanwantedtosmokebutwedidn'tlethim.Firemenfinallygotus

out."51.Throughouttheperiodofdarkness,MartinSaltzmanandtheelevenotherswere.

A.nervousB.excitedC.calmD.frightencd分析:答案C。這道題考查學生綜合判斷能力和

從上下文中猜詞的能力。從文章結構上和敘事方式上看，本文應該是一篇新聞報道學生需要

在頭腦中形成語篇的框架：①體裁:新聞報道，②涉及四個小事件，③作者報道這些事件

的態(tài)度:在有驚無險事件中的某種事后幽默感。文章中提到停電后MartinSaltzmanspent

threehoursbetweenthe21stand22adfloorsoftheEmpireStateBuilding.并且說“Therewere

twelveofus.Butnoonepanicked.Wepassedthetimetellingstoriesandplayingwordgames.”在

這段話中，告訴了我們他們在電梯中講故事，玩猜詞游戲來消磨時間。panic驚慌是生詞，

需要考生自己來判斷這個詞在上下文中的意思。Decision-thinkingisnotunlikepoker

—itoftenmattersnotonlywhatyouthink,butalsowhatothersthinkyouthinkandwhatyou

thinktheythinkyouthink.Thementalprocess（過程）issimilar.Natural!,thiscardgamehasoften

beenofconsiderablein-teresttopeoplewhoare,byanystandards,goodthinkers.Thegreat

的世界性的熱門話題，對于熟悉社會科學普及性話題的人來說本文并不是非常深奧。但是用

英語來討論這樣的問題，對于整天忙于做模擬題的學生來講文章涉及的內容就顯得陌生了，

用英語表達顯得有些費解。讀懂這篇文章可能需要讀兩遍甚至三遍。59.Thesubject

discussedinthistextis____A.theprocessofreachingdecisionsB.thedifference

betweenpokerandchessC.thesecreofmakinggoodbusinessplansD.thevalueofin

formationinwinninggames答案A。這篇文章以pokerandchess為例，主要討論了思

維的過程和做出決斷的過程文章的第?句話點出文章的主題?！癉eci-sion?thinkingisnot

unlikepokeritoftenmattersnotonlywhatyouthink,Thementalprocess（過程）is

similar.”雖然文章第二段中談到了紙牌游戲與象棋有區(qū)別，但是討論他們之間的區(qū)別的目的

是為了說明在做生意的過程中如同玩紙牌，有很多不可知因素。干擾項是B這篇文章的第二

自然段討論的主題是紙牌游戲與象棋的區(qū)別，但不是整篇文章的主題。6O.Animportant

factorinagameofimperfectinformationisA.nilesB.IuckC.timeD.ideas答案

Bo這道題的答案在文章的第二自然段里?！癟herearewhathecalledgamesof!perfect

information!,thatonecourseofactionisbetterthananother.”從閱讀這一段文字中我們知

道在知己知彼的游戲中不能做任何手腳不能靠運氣來贏對方，而要靠邏輯和技巧。在信息不

全的游戲中，人們不可能事先知道哪一個舉動更好?，因此暗含的意思是只能靠運氣了因此這

道題的答案是Bo61.Whichofthefollowingcanbeusedinplaceof'Quitethereverse”?

A.Quiteright.B.Trueenough.C.Mostunlikely.D.Justtheop-posite.答案Do這道題考查

的是學生從上下文中猜詞的能力。quitethereverse出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。文中說“One

mistakenideaaboutbusinessisthatwhichwemustnormallyplaywithveryimperfect

information.”錯誤的想法是y做生意看作是一種信息完整的游戲,……做生意、政治、人生

通常都會有很多不可知因素Quitethereverse句子中起了承上啟下的作用表示“恰恰相反

62.Inthewriter'sopinion,whenmakinbusinessdecisionsoneshould.A.put

perfectinformationbeforeimperfecinformationB.accepttheexistenceofunknownfactors

C.regardbusinessasagameofchessD.mixknowandunknownfactors答案B。作者

的態(tài)度十分明朗，他認為在做生意時人們并不知道所有的信息，而且有些未知因素甚至使玩

紙牌的高手感到迷惑。但是僅有少數(shù)生意人愿意承認他們在投機，多數(shù)人還是寧愿相信他們

在下象棋，而不是玩紙牌即他們認為他們知道所有的信息。在文章中作者用了onemistaken

idea來表達他的觀點“onemistakenideaaboutbusinessisthatitcanbetreatedasagameof

perfectin-formation.由此可見，這道題的答案應該是B。例如1999年高考閱讀理解

55.WhatdidCoryLuxmooremeanwhenhesaid'Tmonhigh"?A.Fmrich.B.Tmfamous.

C.Tinexcited.D.Tmlucky.分析:文章中告訴我們Luxmoore先生的包失而復得,and

LuxmoorctoldreportersC4Ifwonderfulnews.Tmonhigh.”題目要求學生根據(jù)情景猜測“I!mon

high”這個詞語的意思，實際上問Luxmoore先生得知這個消息后的心情。當Cory

Luxmoore得知日記本失而復得時，他說:“這是好消息。我很興奮”，對比前面Luxmore先生

曾告訴記者在丟了這本日記之后他一直很煩。'Tvefeltsicksincethen.”因此第55題的答案

應該選Co52.InwhatwaywasthenightofNovember9thebestnightforAngelaCarraro?

A.Shehadatasteofadventure.B.Burningcandlesbrightenedtheplace.C.Business

wasbetterthanusual.D.Manypeoplestayedthenightinherrestaurant.分析:這道題

需要考生讀懂文章，不僅理解字面上的意思，而且要讀懂文章的實際意思在做題時要牢記

AngelaCarraro是一家飯店的老板，停電之后很多人遇到了麻煩，而她卻是顧客盈門，生意

比平常要好。因此飯店的老板說:Itwasthebestnightwe'veeverhad.”因此答案為C。4.

如何猜詞技巧1：利用解釋作為從上下文猜詞的線索。這樣往往能夠明確地告訴

我們這個詞的準確意思。常用的關鍵詞和句型如下：……mean……意

指...is/ar
