10、 在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决直接理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位),然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换),从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文,并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落,然后进行分析和推理等,从而找出正确答案。 以本文为例,我们根据题干中“people of different ages enjoy a good laugh”所有年龄段的人都能够从中获得笑声,直接定位第二则广告第三句This joyful show will please everyone, from the younges
11、t to the oldest可知这场表演能够让所有年龄段的人都很开心,故选择B项。考点:考查广告类阅读B Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of th
12、e Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group bui
13、lt something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative
14、 mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”B
15、ut Im just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when youre asleep?” “Oh, sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “Thats pretty creative. Who does that for you?” “Nobo
16、dy. I do it.” “Really-at night, when youre asleep?” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _?A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting C. raise the students interest in art D. teach the students about toy desi
17、gn6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone. C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.8.
18、Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? A. To help them to see their creativity. B. To find out about their sleeping habits. C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking.【答案】5. A 6. D 7. B 8. A 6.D 推理判断题。文章第三段第一句中提到的这个男孩在空闲时间拼装这些玩具,而且他
19、的作品堆满了艺术教室的架子,家里的卧室里也有很多。第三段倒数第三句“Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work”说明他是一个很有想象力和创造性的人。故D项正确。7.B 词义猜测题。根据划线单词后一句“I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.”可知我冒着失去那些有不同思维方式的学生的危险。说明我的这种教育方法也有不足之处。故划线词意为“drawback缺点”。故B正确。8.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后七段中的对话内容可知作者鼓励孩
20、子们说出最有趣的、有创造性和想象力的梦,并鼓励他们在白天的课堂里把梦的内容做出来。作者这样做的目的就是为了让他们发现自己的创造性和想象力。故A正确。【名师点睛】本文属于词义猜测题。我们可以根据后句“I ran the risk . thinking.”中的“risk”说明我的教育方法也有不足之处,故划线词意为“drawback缺点,不足”。本题属于典型的理由上下文语境推测。近几年高考阅读中猜测词义考查方法多样化,其中根据上下文语境推测将会越来越多。根据上下文语境作出判断:有时短文中出现一个需猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义域解释或例子,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。请看下例:Sh
21、anghaiBashiTourismCarRentalCentreoffersawidevarietyofchoicesdeluxesedans,minivans,stationwagons,coaches,Santanasedansarethebigfavorite.从前面的CarRentalCenter可知出租车公司提供的只能是carsforrent(出租汽车),也就是说划线的词都是出租汽车的名称。 除此之外,我们还可以根据转折或对比关系进行判断:根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。另外
22、,分号(;)也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。 还可以根据因果关系进行判断:俗话说,“有因必有果,有果必有因”。根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。例如BiggestpowerfailureinthecityshistoryAllofouricecreamandfrozenfoodsmelted 根据因果关系,停电只能导致冰淇淋和冷冻食品“融化”,也就是melted。考点:考查记叙文阅读CReading can be a social activity.

30、ch new reader who finds it”那些留下书的人希望自己的书能够随着找到它的人走得更远。可知其中的it指代前半句提到的同一事物“the book”。故A正确。11.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句“.the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home”让书蒙上尘土是一种很自私的行为,网站BookC的目的正是鼓励人们与别人分享图书,所以拿到书的人最可能继续把书传递下去。故C项正确。12.D 标题概括题。根据文章第三段可知BookC把人生命

32、ollection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurleys pictures would be outstanding-undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism-if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman
33、who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

40、题均考查了细节题。在完成细节题时,要特别注意排除干扰项。如中的A项“They were made last week”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项,根据第二段第一句“Frank Hurleys pictures.undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism-if they had been made last week.”可知“如果这些照片是上周所拍,那么就会是一流的。”实际上这些照片是1914年左右拍摄的。说明A项明显错误。干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外,通常还有以下几种方式:1.张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来,题干问的是作者的观点,
41、选项中出现的却是他人的观点;或者题干问的是他人的观点,却把作者的观点放到选项中去。2.偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇,却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇,造成句意的改变。3.无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点,但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点,这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。4.以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时,往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周,以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层
42、理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆,往往是文章直接表述的结论;深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。考点:考查记叙文阅读第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A garden thats just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden
43、 appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 16 . But it doesnt happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process._17 Some people may think that a garden is no more than plan
44、ts, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.Recall(回忆)your child
45、hood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood.

47、beautiful flowersE. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plantsF. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, tooG. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. G18.E 本段前两句提出有些人认为花园只是一些花花草草,有些人关心少用水少用废料。本句仍然在说明人们对园艺的不同看法。故E项“还有其他人只是喜欢在户外接触植物”与上下文一致,也是人们对于园艺的观点。19.C 根据前句“.那些都不重要”可知划线句强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要的是什么。故C项“重要的是我们搞园艺的经历”符合上下文串联。20.G 本部分介绍如果我们自己建一个花园,要回忆一下年轻的时候所看到的那些花园,并把这些花园的优点写下来,然后制定计划并把自己的计划变成美丽的花园。故G项与上下文一致
