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)英語聽、說、讀、

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

增加詞匯量、擴(kuò)大知識面也起著重要作用。

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

語閱讀能力，對于廣大英語學(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)的英語教學(xué)

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

精力用于知識點(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，并對此信息進(jìn)行分析、推理和評價(jià)，以實(shí)現(xiàn)交際的

目的。與其他語言學(xué)習(xí)一樣，英語學(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閱讀是接觸英語，吸收語

言材料，獲取感性認(rèn)識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

教學(xué)的主體。新課程中學(xué)英語課程標(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考試成績。

英語閱讀作為語言技能的重要組成部分和語言輸入的主要環(huán)節(jié)之一，在英語教學(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。我們在這本書中給學(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、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、豐富語言知識，開闊視野、

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

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

PartI中考英語閱讀理解解題技巧

閱讀理解是中考英語試卷中的重中之重，是初中英語教學(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關(guān)的詞硬湊在一起理解，

以致無法獲取句子語義及特定語境中篇章的意義，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，對文章的理解起著重要的作用；同時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)正確猜測詞

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

缺乏語感，以致于理解錯(cuò)誤。

第五，充分利用語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)間所剩無幾了，你再把未處理的題猜測一下

也不晚，因?yàn)槟闳匀挥羞x對的可能性。

第八，良好的閱讀習(xí)慣。這個(gè)要靠平時(shí)的培養(yǎng)。克服閱讀時(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)對策略。在閱讀英語文章時(shí)難免會(huì)遇到生詞，這就需要我們?nèi)ゲ?/p>

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

判斷，有時(shí)還要依靠常識和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。考試的時(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，

如：Heissohomely,notatallashandsomeashisbrother.根據(jù)notat

all...handsome我們不難推測出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、后綴等語法知識，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。這種同義或釋義關(guān)系常由is,

or,thatis,inotherwords,becalled或破折號等來表示。

5.通過句法功能來推測詞義

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)的語言基礎(chǔ)。俗話說：冰凍三尺，非一日之

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

苦用功，打下扎實(shí)的英語知識基礎(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。

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。
