做阅读理解要找准问题的所在,对症做答,这些注意事项你注意到了吗?
一、五点注意
注意一:试题各小题所提供的四个备选项,有的是语法、结构上有错误,有的是与短文意思不相符。解题时要把有结构、语法错误的先排除,再考虑是否符合短文内容。
注意二:对短文中的生词或看不懂的句子,应大胆根据构词法及上、下文意思进行猜测,尤其对涉及文中某个词或某个句子含义的选择试题,要根据文章所阐述的主要内容及上、下文内在逻辑关系,大胆分析推断,去伪存真选出正确答案。
注意三:对于涉及文章主旨、大意、作者意图及短文标题等选择试题,虽然短文中没有直接说明,可统观全文,通过短文所提供的材料或联想短文材料以外的常识,如结合已学过的自然、社会科学知识加以综合理解、分析推测或按作者的思路进行推理,从而且推断出正确答案。
注意四:做选择试题时一般先做在文中能直接找到依据的细节题,后做主旨题、推理题。这样在对语篇有领悟的基础上再进行推理判断和概括总结,把握性就更大。
注意五:阅读的顺序一般是先读短文,再看题目,然后逐题作答。若文章较长,也可以先将测试题目通览一遍,然后带着问题阅读文章。这样对与答题有关的段落、句子反应敏感,而对其他与答题无关的部分可以不必花费太多时间,阅读速度就可加快些。
二、实例分析
Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”
He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.
But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
“Oh. What?”
“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.” “Lucky you!”
“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn’t dare (敢)stay for dinner!”

【答案与解析】
假日里,亨利喜欢到海边去旅游。有一次,他想去西山农场享受一下田园风光,并计划在那儿度过一个月的时间。可是令人惊奇的是,才去四天之后他就回来了。当朋友问起其中的缘由时,亨利说道:第一天,农场里死了一只羊,晚餐时美美地吃了一顿烤羊肉;第二天农场死了一头牛,又吃了一顿烧牛肉;第三天农场死了一头猪,结果又吃了一顿烤猪肉。可是,到了第四天,农场主死了,我不敢再留下来吃饭了。
1. A。第二段的首句“…but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.”即是答案的出处。
2. C。本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力。由上下文,显然可知这是报纸上的一则广告信息。
3. B。本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力。根据亨利的叙述可得出此答案。
4. B。这由“A different meat every day, and you are complaining!”一句可知。
5. C。本来打算要在乡村农场过一个暑假,结果四天之后就回来了。这能不是个短暂的假期吗?用此作标题既切合意,又具有幽默的味道。
