完成時(shí)間：月日天氣：作業(yè)11閱讀理解細(xì)節(jié)理解類細(xì)節(jié)理解題干擾選項(xiàng)特征張冠李戴 是原文信息，但不是題目要求的內(nèi)容。 無(wú)中生有 符合常識(shí)，但不是文章的內(nèi)容。曲解文意 與原文的內(nèi)容極其相似，只是在某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)處有些變動(dòng)。顛倒是非 在意思上與原文大相徑庭甚至完全相反。 正誤參半 部分正確，部分錯(cuò)誤。推理判斷類掌握推理判斷題的考查角度(1)高頻考點(diǎn)：推斷隱含意義、寫作意圖、觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。 (2)低頻考點(diǎn)：推斷下段內(nèi)容、文章出處、讀者對(duì)象。推理判斷題正確選項(xiàng)特征1．“立足原文，只推一步”，即根據(jù)原文內(nèi)容，一步即可推得。2．選項(xiàng)中一般不可以出現(xiàn)絕對(duì)概念。如only,never,all,absolutely等，正確答案的表述一般有一點(diǎn)模糊，會(huì)用一些相對(duì)能夠留有一些余地的詞匯，如often,usually,sometimes,some,may,might,can,could,probably等。推理判斷題干擾選項(xiàng)特征1．曲解文意：即推測(cè)意義與文章表層意義有區(qū)別。推理判斷題中有些選項(xiàng)來(lái)自文章中的某一句或某幾句話，命題者可能會(huì)利用里面的詞設(shè)計(jì)出干擾項(xiàng)，看似表達(dá)文章的意思，其實(shí)是借題發(fā)揮，是對(duì)原文意思的曲解。2．張冠李戴：即把文章中作者的觀點(diǎn)與其他人的觀點(diǎn)混淆在一起。題干問(wèn)的是作者的觀點(diǎn)，選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的卻是其他人的觀點(diǎn)；題干問(wèn)的是其他人的觀點(diǎn)，選項(xiàng)中卻出現(xiàn)了作者的觀點(diǎn)。3．偷梁換柱：干擾項(xiàng)用了與文章中某一句話相似的句型結(jié)構(gòu)和單詞，卻在考生易忽視的地方換了幾個(gè)單詞，造成句意的改變。4．無(wú)中生有：這種類型的干擾項(xiàng)往往是基本的生活常識(shí)或普遍認(rèn)可的觀點(diǎn)，但在文章中并無(wú)相關(guān)的信息支撐點(diǎn)。其次，這種干擾項(xiàng)也有可能與設(shè)置的問(wèn)題毫不相干。5．魚目混珠：魚目混珠類型的干擾項(xiàng)常出現(xiàn)在詞句理解類試題的選項(xiàng)中，即利用某個(gè)詞或句子的字面含義代替其在文章特定語(yǔ)境中的具體含義。6．?dāng)U縮范圍：為了準(zhǔn)確、嚴(yán)密地表達(dá)文章內(nèi)容，命題者特別注意對(duì)文意范圍的限定，有時(shí)通過(guò)加上almost,all,nearly,morethan,normally,usually等詞語(yǔ)對(duì)文意加以限制?！皵U(kuò)縮范圍”干擾法就是在選項(xiàng)中通過(guò)改變或去掉限制性詞語(yǔ)，將信息的范圍、程度、感情色彩等改變，從而給考生解題造成干擾的命題方法。詞義猜測(cè)類掌握詞句猜測(cè)題的考查角度(1)猜測(cè)生詞或熟詞生義；(2)猜測(cè)短語(yǔ)的意義；(3)猜測(cè)替代詞所替代的內(nèi)容(如it,one,they,this,that,these,those等)；(4)猜測(cè)句意。明確方法技巧（1）根據(jù)定義或上下文解釋進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（2）根據(jù)同位關(guān)系進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（3）根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法(前綴、后綴、派生、合成等)進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（4）根據(jù)因果關(guān)系進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（5）根據(jù)上下文的指代關(guān)系進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（6）根據(jù)同義或近義關(guān)系進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（7）根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系進(jìn)行猜測(cè)（8）意義吻合定句意主旨大意類題型掌握主旨大意題的考查角度主旨大意類題型主要測(cè)試學(xué)生對(duì)文章全面理解和概括的能力，提問(wèn)的內(nèi)容可能是全文的大意，也可能是某段的段落大意，一般不易在文中直接找到答案。明確方法技巧1.閱讀文章的標(biāo)題或副標(biāo)題2.尋找文章的主題句主題句的特點(diǎn)是：1.相對(duì)于其他句子，它表達(dá)的意思比較概括；2.主題句一般結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單；3.段落中其他句子必定是用來(lái)解釋，支撐或發(fā)展主題句所表達(dá)的思想的。一POETRYCHALLENGEWriteapoemabouthowcourage,determination,andstrengthhavehelpedyoufacechallengesinyourlife.Prizes3GrandPrizes:TriptoWashington,D.C.foreachofthreewinners,aparentandoneotherpersonofthewinner’schoice.Tripincludesroundtripairtickets,hotelstayfortwonights,andtoursoftheNationalAirandSpaceMuseumandtheofficeofNationalGeographicWorld.6FirstPrizes:ThebookSkyPioneer:APhotobiographyofAmeliaEarhartsignedbyauthorCorinneSzaboandpilotLindaFinch.50HonorableMentions:Judgeswillchooseupto50honorablementionwinners,whowilleachreceiveaTshirtinmemoryofEarhart’sfinalflight.RulesFollowallrulescarefullytopreventdisqualification.■Writeapoemusing100wordsorfewer.Yourpoemcanbeanyformat,anynumberoflines.■Writebyhandortypeonasinglesheetofpaper.Youmayuseboththefrontandbackofthepaper.■Onthesamesheetofpaper,writeortypeyourname,address,telephonenumber,andbirthdate.■MailyourentrytousbyOctober31thisyear.1.Howmanypeoplecaneachgrandprizewinnertakeonthefreetrip?A.Two.
