1、 【考点定位】【考点定位】2013 考纲解读考纲解读和近几年考点分布和近几年考点分布 高考对说明文的考查多为科普说明文,它是阅读理解重要内容,也是高考考查难点。科普类阅读理解题愈来愈受到命题者的青睐而科普类文章往往具有跨学科行文逻辑性强等特点,要求考生能从文章的整体逻辑以及重要细节上全面把握【试题特点】注重学科渗透,行文逻辑性强,内容抽象 贴近学生的学习生活实际,有利于激发学生的思维,对选拔优秀考生有一定的作用 能全面地考查学生的综合阅读能力和运用所学知识去分析解决实际问题的能力 (4)科学方法图示判断题 科普说明文常出现科学方法图示判断题,这种试题或以生物依赖关系为命题题点,要求考生判断正确

3、旨大意。细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力,属于表层理解题范畴,难度较小,但在整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大,细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问,也常使用下列方式来提问 1.Which of the following statements is(4.According to the passage,when/where/why/how/how/what/which,etc.?1.直接事实题直接事实题 在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息,采用针对性方法进行阅读,因为这类题的答案在文章中可以直接找到。如:A giant

11、 become Miss Asia.【解析】【解析】A、C 和 D 项都可在原文找到答案,而 B 项原文所给的是:taken to Hongkong可判断不是 moved to Hongkong with her parents,因此选 B。3、数据推算。、数据推算。If you register both the VIEW qualification course and the Forum at the same time,you will save_.A.$100 B.$300 C.$350 D.$400 这类题目要求学生就文章提供的数据,以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推断。在
12、做此类题时:1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息,那些属于干扰信息。3.不要孤立看待数字信息,而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。考点二、主题理解或写作意图推断。考点二、主题理解或写作意图推断。考点三、推理推断。考点三、推理推断。推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力,属于深层理解题。此类题的设问常常包括 infer,imply,suggest,conclude 等词,这类题的设问方式主要有:4.It can be 9.O
13、n the whole,we can c 14.When the wri 15.Whats the writers attitude 近年来,高考加大了对学生判断推理能力的考查。判断推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,作出一定判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可能是某几句话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理,也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。做题时要注意题干的语言形,如 According to the passage.,It can be inferred from the passage
14、that.;It can be concluded from the passage that.等,虽然从表面上看是问有关全文的题,但实际上不用看全篇,仍然只需要根据选项中的线索找到原文中与之相关的一句话或几句话,然后得出答案。针对推理题的不同形,可以采取以下做法:1.假如题干中有具体线索,根据具体线索找到原文相关句(一句或几句话),然后做出推理;2.假如题干中无线索,如 It can be inferred from the passage that.;It can be concluded from the passage that.等,先浏览一下 4 个选项,排除不太可能的选项,然后根据
15、最可能的选项中的关键词找到原文相关句,作出推理;3.如果一篇文章中其他题都未涉及文章主旨,那么推理题,如 infer,conclude 题型,可能与文章主旨有关,考生应该定位到文章主题所在位置(如主题句出现处);假如其他题已经涉及文章主旨,那么要求推断出来的内容可能与段落主题有关,如果如此,应该找段落主题所在处;如果不与段落主题有关,有时与全文或段落的重要结论有关,这时可以寻找与这些结论相关的原文叙述。考点四、词义、句义猜测。考点四、词义、句义猜测。词义猜测阅读理解题考查对文中关键词语的理解。在阅读理解题中,所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上,要根据语境来判断。此类题的设问方式主要有此类
16、题的设问方式主要有 1.The word.in Line.means/can be replaced by.4.The word.is closest in meaning to.猜词是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中常用的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会顺藤摸瓜,通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义。1.定义法。如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.句
17、子给予 annealing 以明确的定义,即 退火。It will be very hard but also very brittlethat is,it will break easily.从后面的解释中我们可以了解到 brittle 是脆的意思。The herdsman,who looks after sheep,earns about 650 yuan a year.定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为牧人。2.同位法。如:They traveled a long way and at last got to a castle,a lar
18、ge building in old times.同位语部分 a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义,即城堡。We are on the night shiftfrom midnight to 8 a.m.this week.两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明 night shift 是夜班的意思。3.对比法。如:She is usually prompt for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.but 一词表转折,因此 but 前后的意
19、思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天第一节第一节上了一半才来,因此反向推理,可得出她平时一向准时的结论。4.构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)。如:Perhaps,we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.But the next hundred?possibility 是 possible 的同根名词,据此可以判断定 possibility 意思是可能性。5.因果法。如:The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken.Sometimes the weakness was permanen
20、t.So the player could never play the sport again.从后面的结果永远不能再运动中,可以推测 permanent 的意思为永远的,永久。【三年高考】【三年高考】10、11、12 高考试题高考试题及其解析及其解析 2012 高考英语试题高考英语试题 科普知识类 2012 浙江卷 B Below is a selection about some Guinness(吉尼斯)World Records.Top 6 Unusual Guinness World Records Fastest 100 m running on all fours The 20
