11閱讀理解選擇精練（壓軸）小貼士小貼士滿分建議：放平心態(tài)，不怕生詞。每次訓(xùn)練，雖少卻精。每天堅(jiān)持，源頭活水。限時(shí)閱讀，提高速度四種題型：主旨大意型；事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)型；推理判斷型；詞義猜測(cè)型。一、主旨大意題：要求在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)全文進(jìn)行高度概括或總結(jié)。常見考法：1．主題型：What’sthemainideaofthispassage?（這篇文章的主要思想是什么？）Whatdoesthispassagemainlydiscuss?（這篇文章主要討論了什么？）What’sthetopicofthispassage?（這篇文章的主題是什么？）2．標(biāo)題型：What’sthebesttitle?（最佳的標(biāo)題是什么？）Thebesttitleforthistextis(totell)______.（這段文字的最佳標(biāo)題是_____)Themainpurposeofthistextis______.(這段文字的主要目的是？）3．目的型：Theauthor’spurposeofwritingthistextisto______.（作者寫這段文字的主要目的是？）What’sthemainpurposeofthepassage?（這篇文章的主要目的是？）二、細(xì)節(jié)理解題做這種題目要注意注意提干中的標(biāo)識(shí)語(yǔ)，帶著問題有目的地尋找某一特定信息。題干中的標(biāo)識(shí)語(yǔ)就是尋找答案的"路標(biāo)詞"，如人物/時(shí)間/地點(diǎn)等。常見題型：1、Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?（下列哪個(gè)陳述是正確的？）2、Whichofthefollowingisnotmentionedinthetext?（文中沒有提到下列哪一項(xiàng)？）3、Theauthor(orthepassage)statesthat___.（作者（文章）指出____）4、Accordingtothepassage,when(where,why,how,who,what,which,etc.)___?（根據(jù)文章，什么時(shí)候（哪里，為什么，如何，誰(shuí)，什么，哪個(gè)等等）____）三、推理判斷題重點(diǎn)題型，通常占總題目的30%左右。著重考查學(xué)生歸納概括、邏輯推理等綜合能力。以原文內(nèi)容為前提，要求你在理解文章直接陳述的觀點(diǎn)或描述的事實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上，據(jù)作者的觀點(diǎn)理論（非考生觀點(diǎn)），理解作者的言外之意（impliedmeaning)。透過現(xiàn)象看本質(zhì)，領(lǐng)悟作者思想傾向、觀點(diǎn)、立場(chǎng)、語(yǔ)氣及態(tài)度等。1、Thepassageimplies(暗示)that_______.（文章暗示了____)2、Wecanconclude(得出結(jié)論)fromthepassagethat_____.(我們能從文章中得出的結(jié)論是_____）3、Whichofthefollowingcanbeinferred(推論)?（可以得出哪個(gè)推論？）4、Whatisthetone(語(yǔ)氣)/attitude(態(tài)度)oftheauthor?（作者的語(yǔ)氣/態(tài)度是什么？）5、Whatisthepurpose(目的)ofthispassage?（這篇文章的目的是什么？）6、Thepassageisintendedto_____.（文章的目的是_____)7、Wherewouldthispassagemostprobablyappear?(這段文字最可能出現(xiàn)在什么地方？)四、詞義猜測(cè)題詞義理解是閱讀理解能力的重要指標(biāo)。無(wú)論一個(gè)人的詞匯量有多大，都會(huì)在閱讀中碰到生詞。對(duì)詞義的理解往往會(huì)影響到對(duì)全文的準(zhǔn)確把握。閱讀過程中，對(duì)于不妨礙全文理解和出現(xiàn)頻率較低的生詞，跳過即可。答題小技巧：先讀題目，有的放矢?？熳x全文，了解大意。細(xì)讀關(guān)鍵，解決問題。四個(gè)"W"和一個(gè)"H"，永遠(yuǎn)要牢記。(where,why,how,who,what,which,etc.)（哪里，為什么，如何，誰(shuí)，什么，哪個(gè)等等_）常見解法：①直接解題法。即從原文中直接找出答案。②歸納解題法。對(duì)于不能從原文中直接找出答案的可在把握全文中心和線索的前題下進(jìn)行概括、歸納得出正確答案。③綜合推理法。讀者需統(tǒng)觀全文，認(rèn)真分析，綜合推理及至計(jì)算，最后歸納出正確答案。④捕捉關(guān)鍵詞。在閱讀時(shí)應(yīng)該注意與問題相關(guān)的同義詞，近義詞，反義詞或同位詞等信息詞來得出正確答案。⑤轉(zhuǎn)換解題法。即原文這么說，而在問題和所給選項(xiàng)中則用另外的詞去轉(zhuǎn)換一種說法，但仍表示同一含義。⑥排除法。根據(jù)語(yǔ)言，句法結(jié)構(gòu)，信息詞和常識(shí)，在沒有把握的選項(xiàng)中用排除法得出正確答案。再讀原文，核對(duì)答案，滿分必會(huì)，養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣。實(shí)戰(zhàn)訓(xùn)練實(shí)戰(zhàn)訓(xùn)練1．Basketball，footballandswimmingarepopulareventsintheOlympics.Buttherearealsosomeeventsthatarenotaspopular.Someareevenverystrange.Let'sseeifyouhaveanyknowledgeaboutthefollowingevents.TugOfWarThiseventstartedin1900andlefttheOlympicsin1920.Theteamwinsiftheypulltheropepastacertainpointfirst.Interestingly，morethanoneteamfromacountrycanenterinthisevent.Thismakesitpossibleforonecountrytowinseveralmedals.RopeclimbingItfirstappearedasanOlympicsportin1896.Theclimberwhospendstheshortesttimereachingthetopisthewinner.Theropeusedtobe15meterslong.Yearslater，itwasshortenedto8meters，forsomereason.After1932，therewasnoropeclimbingintheOlympics.RacewalkingInracewalking，walkershavetowintheracebywalking.Tomakesurethattheydonotrun，racewalkersmusthaveonefootonthegroundatalltimes.RacewalkinghasbeenanOlympicsportsince1904.Menenterin20kilometerracesand50kilometerraces；womenonlyrace20kilometers.（1）WhichofthefollowingeventsarestillintheOlympics？A.TugOfWarandracewalking.B.Basketballandropeclimbing.C.RopeclimbingandtugOfWar.D.Swimmingandracewalking.（2）Yearslater，theropeinropeclimbingwasshortenedmetres.A.7B.8C.15D.23（3）WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtothepassage？A.OnecountrycanonlyenteroneteamintugOfWar.B.Ropeclimbingfirstappearedinthe1932Olympics.C.Racewalkersarenotallowedtoruninracewalking.D.Womeninracewalkingcanenterinthe50kilometerrace.2．TheSilkRoadisthenameofdifferentroadsthatlongagoconnectedEurope，AfricaandAsia.Peoplereachedthesedifferentplacesalongtheseroads.ScientistsbelievepeoplebegantotraveltheSilkRoadabout3000yearsago.BythetimetheChinesesilktradebecameimportantintheworld，theSilkRoadcoveredalmost6500kilometers.ItspreadfromRometoChina，whichisfromtheWesttotheFarEast.TraderstravellingalongtheSilkRoadcarriedsilk，ofcourse.Theyalsocarriedandtradedspices（香料），cloth，valuablestonesandgold.Thereisafamousoldstoryalongtheoldroad.ItissaidthatRomansoldierstravelledthroughcentralAsia.TheystartedtolivesomewhereneartheancientChinesevillageofLiqian.SomeoftheseRomansmarriedlocalChinesewomenandthestoryofblueEyedvillagesofChinawasstarted.Duringitsbusiestperiod，theSilkRoadallowedpeoplefrommanydifferentculturesandcountriestomeeteachotherandmix.TheSilkRoadallowedthesharingofvaluablegoodsandnewideas.TheseincludedpeopleandtradinggoodsfromtheMediterranean，Persian，Magyar，Armenian，Bactrian，IndianandChineseareas.AllthesepeoplestravelledtheSilkRoad，andtheysharedgoods，stories，languages，andcultures.Inmoderntimes，theoldSilkRoadroutes（路線）arestillused，butnowtheyarecrossedbytrainsinsteadofcamelsandhorses.ThereisevenaSilkRouteMuseuminJiuquaninChina.Ithasover35，000objectsfromallalongtheSilkRoad.Inthisw
