选择填空型阅读理解解题指导

阅读理解能力是一项重要的语言技能，主要是培养学生用英语思维的能力及用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力。阅读理解要求我们既要具备一定的词汇量和语法知识，较高的语言经验积累及良好的语言感觉，又要具备一定的文化背景知识和相关的阅读技能。中考阅读材料在题材和体裁的选取上，更加重视具有鲜明时代特征、实用性强的语言材料，如报刊文章、使用说明书、招贴告示、广告及各类图表等。阅读重在考查学生对篇章的整体理解和把握。选择型阅读理解的解题方法和步骤如下：

1． 细读题干，心中有数。

细读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调，作者未陈述的观点以及贯穿全文的中心主旨的理解等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层次的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间。特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。

2． 速读全文，了解大意知主题。

抓主题句这是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。用归纳法撰写的文章，此时主题句就是文章的最后一句。通常用演绎法撰写的文章，大都遵循从一般到个别的写作程序，即从概述开始，随之辅以细说。这时，主题句就是文章的第一句。当然也有些文章没有主题句，需要读者自己去归纳。主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用，主旨大意题、归纳概括题、中心思想题往往直接可以从主题句中找到答案。

3． 详读细节，理顺思路与文章脉络。

记叙文多以人物为中心，以时间或空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事；论述体则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。你可根据文章的特点，详读细节，以动词、时间、地点、事件、因果等为线索，找出关键词语，运用“画图列表法”，勾画出一幅完整清晰的文章主题和细节的认知图。

4． 逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓意。这就是通常所说的深层理解。深层理解是一种创作性的思维活动。它必须忠实于原文，要以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想象，随意揣测；它要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。只有吃透文字的字面意思，推理才有前提和基础。

5． 认真复查，避免失误。

这是最后一步，也是最重要的一步。我们在确定答案后，不能掉以轻心。在阅读和答题时，我们的大脑里已输入了不少信息，这时很有必要把所有的信息归纳整理一遍后再读一遍短文，认真检查答案，利用浏览和查阅等方法检查所选答案是否正确，是否符合逻辑，是否掉进设计者的“陷阱”中。发现错误，及时改正，力求万无一失。

请同学们按以上方法做一做下面的短文。
