中招英語(yǔ)閱讀理解專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練校本教材

前言(Preface)

閱讀是一種重要的學(xué)習(xí)技能。大量的閱讀可以有效促進(jìn)英語(yǔ)聽、說、讀、

寫能力的全面發(fā)展，它是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的主要途徑。大量的閱讀對(duì)提高閱讀速度、

增加詞匯量、擴(kuò)大知識(shí)面也起著重要作用。

閱讀技能既是英語(yǔ)考試的重要內(nèi)容，也是運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)的主要能力之一。提高英

語(yǔ)閱讀能力，對(duì)于廣大英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者來說，是一個(gè)非常重視但又相當(dāng)艱苦的學(xué)習(xí)過

程。盡管我們的英語(yǔ)教學(xué)歷來重視培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀能力，但由于傳統(tǒng)的英語(yǔ)教學(xué)

過多地承擔(dān)了詞匯、語(yǔ)法等語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的教學(xué)任務(wù)，英語(yǔ)教師常把大量的時(shí)間、

精力用于知識(shí)點(diǎn)的傳授、復(fù)習(xí)、掌握和操練上，專門的閱讀訓(xùn)練，尤其是以語(yǔ)篇

能力、思維能力和閱讀技巧為核心的閱讀能力訓(xùn)練不足，導(dǎo)致學(xué)生的閱讀能力并

沒有得到實(shí)質(zhì)性的提高。

培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀能力是主要教學(xué)目標(biāo)之一，而在平時(shí)的教學(xué)過程中我們發(fā)現(xiàn)

閱讀是學(xué)生最頭疼的問題。隨著信息社會(huì)的出現(xiàn)，教育既要傳播信息，又要培養(yǎng)

學(xué)生攝取信息、處理信息的能力，而閱讀教學(xué)的目的就是在于培養(yǎng)交際性閱讀能

力，能有效地獲取書面信息，并對(duì)此信息進(jìn)行分析、推理和評(píng)價(jià)，以實(shí)現(xiàn)交際的

目的。與其他語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)一樣，英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)包括聽、說、讀、寫四個(gè)方面，而閱讀是

其中的重要的一部分，且正變得越來越重要。因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)閱讀是接觸英語(yǔ)，吸收語(yǔ)

言材料，獲取感性認(rèn)識(shí)的最重要的途徑之一。閱讀教學(xué)一直以來都是中學(xué)英語(yǔ)

教學(xué)的主體。新課程中學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)明確指出“要側(cè)重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀理解能

力”。閱讀能力是最為重要的學(xué)習(xí)能力，培養(yǎng)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣、閱讀策略和提高

學(xué)生的閱讀能力已成為英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的重要目標(biāo)之一。以中考試題為例，閱讀理解題

共40分，這就意味著考生閱讀效率的高低在很大程度上影響著英語(yǔ)考試成績(jī)。

英語(yǔ)閱讀作為語(yǔ)言技能的重要組成部分和語(yǔ)言輸入的主要環(huán)節(jié)之一，在英語(yǔ)教學(xué)

中占有重要地位。

要提高學(xué)生閱讀能力，單純通過教科書中的課文教學(xué)是不夠的，還要根據(jù)學(xué)

生的具體情況，有計(jì)劃地指導(dǎo)學(xué)生的課外閱讀量。我們?cè)谶@本書中給學(xué)生選擇材

料時(shí)掌握以下原則：（1）思想性強(qiáng)，內(nèi)容健康；（2）材料難易適合學(xué)生實(shí)

際水平；（3）題材涉及面廣，趣味性強(qiáng)，可以是名人軼事、歷史傳說、民間故

事、寓言、幽默小品、日常生活、史地常識(shí)、科普文章等，要求靈活多樣，生動(dòng)

有趣；（4）文章類型多樣化，包括政治經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)文化、科學(xué)技術(shù)、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣、

歷史地理等；（5）語(yǔ)言地道、規(guī)范。

本書中的閱讀材料不僅有利于學(xué)生擴(kuò)大詞匯量、豐富語(yǔ)言知識(shí)，開闊視野、

開拓思路，還有利于學(xué)生了解英、美等國(guó)的文化背景、生活習(xí)俗、思維習(xí)慣及英

語(yǔ)特有的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)方式，從而提高閱讀理解能力和英語(yǔ)運(yùn)用能力。

PartI中考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解解題技巧

閱讀理解是中考英語(yǔ)試卷中的重中之重，是初中英語(yǔ)教學(xué)大綱的集中體現(xiàn),

而且占分比例較大，是應(yīng)該極為重視的題型之一。課程改革后，閱讀理解題型變

得更多、更廣、更新。不僅涉及的面廣，其中包括社會(huì)、體育、生活、傳說、人

物、文化、史地、科技、政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)等廣泛內(nèi)容，而且題型多樣。

那么，如何做好中考中的閱讀理解呢？

第一、是要排除心理障礙，不要因?yàn)樽陨碓~匯量小，閱讀文章中有較多的

“攔路虎”，而對(duì)之望而生畏，造成緊張心理，導(dǎo)致越讀越慌，越慌越難的窘境,

從而影響正常的答題。

第二、忌不帶問題閱讀。要先看題干，弄清題目要求，帶著問題有目的地

進(jìn)行閱讀，這樣就能把握方向，同時(shí)也可邊閱讀邊選出考查表層情況問題的答案,

提高閱讀效率及答題的正確性。

第三、是要切忌一個(gè)詞一個(gè)詞割裂地理解，或?qū)o(wú)關(guān)的詞硬湊在一起理解，

以致無(wú)法獲取句子語(yǔ)義及特定語(yǔ)境中篇章的意義，造成信息流中斷，曲解或偏離

題意。

第四、是要善于抓關(guān)鍵句和主題句。文章的第一句或最后一句往往是文章或

段落的關(guān)鍵句或主題句，對(duì)文章的理解起著重要的作用；同時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)正確猜測(cè)詞

義，有機(jī)地聯(lián)系上下文，讀了上文，猜測(cè)下文，不要逐詞翻譯，造成前后脫節(jié)，

缺乏語(yǔ)感，以致于理解錯(cuò)誤。

第五，充分利用語(yǔ)篇中的文字或圖表形式等基本信息，準(zhǔn)確地捕捉關(guān)鍵事實(shí)

和細(xì)節(jié)，進(jìn)而歸納出主旨大意，領(lǐng)會(huì)全文的邏輯關(guān)系，弄清作者的寫作意圖等，

進(jìn)行推理判斷，挖掘字里行間的深層內(nèi)涵。

1

第六，完成選擇時(shí)，看其是否與文中內(nèi)容相矛盾，有無(wú)文中信息支持點(diǎn)，再

有就是看它是否完全符合題目的要求；如果讓你判斷其標(biāo)題的話，要看文章表達(dá)

的是人還是事，從而推斷其標(biāo)題內(nèi)容。所有的選項(xiàng)必須以文章為基礎(chǔ)，不要隨意

發(fā)揮想象或聯(lián)想。

第七，忌忽略時(shí)間。做閱讀理解題時(shí)，一定要從整體上控制時(shí)間，時(shí)間分配

根據(jù)文章的難易程度有別。文中一兩處沒弄懂的地方可以暫且放置一邊，等把全

部題做完后，再回頭來處理。因?yàn)樽鐾觐}后，你的心情相對(duì)放松了往往會(huì)產(chǎn)生新

的思路、新的靈感。即使做完題后時(shí)間所剩無(wú)幾了，你再把未處理的題猜測(cè)一下

也不晚，因?yàn)槟闳匀挥羞x對(duì)的可能性。

第八，良好的閱讀習(xí)慣。這個(gè)要靠平時(shí)的培養(yǎng)?？朔喿x時(shí)不必要的附帶動(dòng)

作，如頭部轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)、用手指或鉛筆逐個(gè)點(diǎn)詞等等；避免朗讀，人看的速度要比讀的

速度快兩倍，朗讀必然影響閱讀速度；不要逐詞逐詞地看，這樣既影響速度又影

響理解。正確的方法是頭部不動(dòng)，用眼睛去掃描，這樣既能提高速度又能整句理

解。

很多學(xué)生最怕在閱讀時(shí)碰到生詞。接下來呢，我們來具體談?wù)勗陂喿x的時(shí)候

遇到生詞時(shí)的應(yīng)對(duì)策略。在閱讀英語(yǔ)文章時(shí)難免會(huì)遇到生詞，這就需要我們?nèi)ゲ?/p>

測(cè)該詞的詞義。猜測(cè)詞義可以通過上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，也可通過語(yǔ)法進(jìn)行分析

判斷，有時(shí)還要依靠常識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)?？荚嚨臅r(shí)候是不允許帶字典的，出題的人在設(shè)

計(jì)理解題時(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)者往往在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中設(shè)計(jì)出一個(gè)似是而非的答案。這樣答案干

擾性特別強(qiáng)，容易迷惑考生。很多學(xué)生碰到了文章的生詞，影響了閱讀速度不說,

頭疼的是甚至于不能理解文章的本意，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)看似正確答案時(shí)就草率定

案，自然而然也就在下面的答題不知該選哪一個(gè)，往往會(huì)掉進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì)者設(shè)置的“陷

阱”里，答錯(cuò)的幾率自然增大。其實(shí)文章中大部分生詞的意思都可以通過上下文

的關(guān)系猜出來的，下面就來介紹一些猜詞的技巧：

1.通過因果關(guān)系猜詞

2

通過因果關(guān)系猜詞，首先是找出生詞與上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，然后才能猜

詞。有時(shí)文章借助關(guān)聯(lián)詞（如because,as,since,for,so,thus,asaresult,

ofcourse,therefore等等）表示前因后果。例如:

Youshouldn，thaveblamedhimforthat,foritwasn，thisfault.

通過for引出的句子所表示的原因（那不是他的錯(cuò)），可猜出blame的詞義是“責(zé)

備”。

2.通過同義詞和反義詞的關(guān)系猜詞

通過同義詞猜詞，一是要看由and或or連接的同義詞詞組，如happyand

gay,即使我們不認(rèn)識(shí)gay這個(gè)詞，也可以知道它是愉快的意思、；二是看在進(jìn)一

步解釋的過程中使用的同義詞，如Manhasknownsomethingabouttheplanets

Venus,Mars,andJupiterwiththehelpofspaceships.止匕句中的Venus（金

星）、Mars（火星）、Jupiter（木星）均為生詞，但只要知道planets就可猜出這幾

個(gè)詞都屬于“行星”這一義域。通過反義詞猜詞，一是看表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連詞或副

詞，如but,while,however等；二是看與not搭配的或表示否定意義的詞語(yǔ)，

如：Heissohomely,notatallashandsomeashisbrother.根據(jù)notat

all...handsome我們不難推測(cè)出homely的意思,即不英俊、不漂亮的意思。

3.通過構(gòu)詞法猜詞

在閱讀文章時(shí)，我們總會(huì)遇上一些新詞匯，有時(shí)很難根據(jù)上下文來推斷其詞

意，而它們對(duì)文章的理解又有著舉足輕重的作用，此時(shí)，如掌握了一些常用的詞

根、前綴、后綴等語(yǔ)法知識(shí)，如前綴un-表反義詞，如happy、unhappy,fair、

unfair,important、unimportant等；后綴-ment表名詞，如develop>

development,state、statement,argue>argument等；后綴-er、-or或-ist

表同源名詞；如calculate、calculator,visit>visitor,law、lawyer,wait、

waiter,science、scientist,art>artist等,這些問題便不難解決了。

4.通過定義或釋義關(guān)系來推測(cè)詞義

3

例如：Butsometimes,norainfallsforalong,longtime.Thenthere

isadryperiod,ordrought.從drought所在句子的上文我們得知很久不下

雨，于是便有一段干旱的時(shí)期，即drought,由此可見drought意思為“久旱”，

“旱災(zāi)”。而adryperiod和drought是同義語(yǔ)。這種同義或釋義關(guān)系常由is,

or,thatis,inotherwords,becalled或破折號(hào)等來表示。

5.通過句法功能來推測(cè)詞義

例如：Bananas,oranges,pineapples,coconutsandsomeotherkindof

fruitgrowinwarmareas.假如pineapples和coconuts是生詞,我們可以從

這兩個(gè)詞在句中所處的位置來判斷它們大致的意思。從句中不難看出

pineapples,coconuts和bananas,oranges是同類關(guān)系，同屬fruit類，因此

它們是兩樣水果，準(zhǔn)確地說，是菠蘿和椰子。

6.通過描述猜詞

描述即作者為幫助讀者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而對(duì)該人或該物做出

的外在相貌或內(nèi)在特征的描寫。例如:Thepenguinisakindofseabirdliving

intheSouthPole.Itisfatandwalksinafunnyway.Althoughitcannot

fly,itcanswimintheicywatertocatchthefish.從例句的描述中可以

得知penguin是一種生活在南極的鳥類。后面更詳盡地描述了該鳥類的生活習(xí)

性。

總而言之，閱讀理解靠的是扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)。俗話說：冰凍三尺，非一日之

寒。扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)言基礎(chǔ)來自平時(shí)嚴(yán)格的基本功訓(xùn)練和長(zhǎng)期的知識(shí)積累。只要平時(shí)刻

苦用功，打下扎實(shí)的英語(yǔ)知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)，又掌握了較科學(xué)的解題方法做“閱讀理解”

題是不會(huì)太難的。我們學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不只是和別人交流，更重要的是，要通過閱讀報(bào)

刊書籍，研讀名著，了解風(fēng)土人情，生活習(xí)慣，科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展與進(jìn)步等等。讀

文章必須理解，怎樣才能驗(yàn)證初學(xué)者是否掌握了所閱讀的文章呢？一般有回答根

據(jù)短文內(nèi)容所提的問題，有給出題干，留一個(gè)空，再給幾個(gè)答案，讓答題的人根

據(jù)短文內(nèi)容來確定正確的答案；也有在題干上留一個(gè)空，由答題人直接填寫所缺

4

的單詞（有些難度比較大的題，則將要填寫的詞的首字母給出）。無(wú)論是哪一種

題型，要想解這一類題，必須建立在理解文章內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上，否則就是一句空

話。

PartII政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練

做政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類初中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解時(shí)，平時(shí)就要注意了解國(guó)內(nèi)外發(fā)生的政治經(jīng)

濟(jì)大事，掌握一定背景知識(shí)。對(duì)這類文章的敘述特點(diǎn)及內(nèi)容安排有一定了解，還

要擴(kuò)展這方面的詞匯。閱讀這類文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整體和各段主

要在說什么，也要注意段落間的邏輯關(guān)系。
