阅读技能如何提高阅读能力

第二专题 抓住主题思想 主题思想是作者在文章中要表达的核

心内容，也是作者始终要说明的问题。 段落的中心思想常由主题句来表达。

TIPS

As a rule, reading work should begin with a general or global understanding of the text, and then move to smaller units such as paragraphs, sentences and words.

How to find the main idea of a passage

Sometimes the first sentence of a passage is the topic(key) sentence

Sometimes the last sentence is the topic (key) sentence

Sometimes the topic(key) sentence is in the middle of a passage

Sometimes you have to put several key sentences together to get the main idea

Sometimes you can’t find the topic(key) sentence in the passage. You have to sum it up yourself.

1 ． Main Idea 类型：选项形式为陈述句。

典型问题形式：

　　 What is the main idea ／ point of this passage ？

　　 The main idea of this article is ______.

　　 This passage is mainly about ______.

2 ． Main Topic 类型： 选项形式为名词或名词词组。要求考生指出文章的 Topic （论题）或 Subject （主题），或

Title （标题）等。 What is the main topic of this passage ？

　　 The passage is chiefly concerned with _______.

　　 What is the main subject of the passage?

　　 The best title for this passage might be _____.

要正确理解一篇文章，关键是要抓住文章的主题思想。阅读中如何才能抓住文章的主旨大意呢？通常有两种方法：

1. 找出主题句。一般来讲，文章或段落的主题句在文章或段落的开头或结尾。

2. 找出主题词。如果文章或段落中找不到主题句，考生就要找出主题词或关键词，然后根据对文章的理解自己归纳概括出文章的中心思想。

　（一）、找主题句 People have different tastes in food. Some feel that

they haven't eaten a meal unless they have had steak or other red meat. Some prefer chicken or fish and eat one or the other at every meal. Others prefer vegetables and fruits or grains and would enjoy a meal of spaghetti, eggplant, and fresh fruit. Others could live on what were called fast--foods: a hamburger or hot dog, French fries and a soft drink.

（ 1 ）主题句在段首。 一个主题句常常是一个段落的开头，其后的句子则是论证性细节。在论说文，科技文献和新闻报道中多采用这种格式。

Since plants give off this valuable gas, they are doing other living things a great service, because, since all living things have to breathe, there could easily be a short-age of oxygen in the atmosphere. Green plants, in this way; help to maintain the balance of gases in the atmosphere.

（ 2 ）主题句在段尾。

一般说来，当一种观点不易向人解释清楚，或不易被人接受时，主题句便会到段落的末尾才出现。当作者想要说服读者听信其言时，一般采用此格式组织句子。

Just as I settle down to read or watch television, he demands that I play with him. If I get a telephone call, he screams in the background or knocks something over. I always have to hang up to find out what's wrong with him. Baby-sitting with my little brother is no fun. He refuses. to let me eat a snack in peace. Usually he wants half of whatever I have to eat. Then, when he finally grows tired, it takes about an hour for him to fall asleep.

（ 3 ）主题句在段中。

　　有时段落是先介绍背景和细节，接着用一句综合或概括性的话概括前面所说的内容或事例，然后再围绕主题展开对有关问题的深入讨论。这种文章的主题句往往会在段落中间出现，但不是就在正中间。

（二）找主题词 有时段落中没有明显的主题句。作者用一

种间接的方式表达了段落的中心思想。这时我们不能轻而易举地判断出主旨或主题这样，主题句是含蓄的，它隐含在短文或段落之中，需要考生从段落中 寻找主题词或词组。然后用这些主题词或词组概括和归纳出段落的中心思想。

Some people like to go to beach or a lake for recreation. They enjoy the swimming or boating that is available there. Other people, especially in the hot summer, prefer clean air and cool mountain breezes. Some people like excitement and entertainment. They got to shows and nightclubs. Still other people find that staying home with the family and enjoying the togetherness of spending time with loved ones is the most happy experience of all.

People enjoy different kinds of recreation.

主旨大意题的干扰项 (错误选项 ) 有 3种：

　　 1. 概括范围太窄，只表达局部信息或某一细节，不能概括整篇文章的主旨大意。

　　 2. 概括范围太宽，所表达的内容超出或多于文章阐述的内容。

　　 3. 无关信息：即文章中未提到、或找不到语言依据的信息。

When the weather is clear, pilots use their eyes to keep the airplane flying straight and level. In low visibility situations, however, the eye and other orientation senses, such as our sense of balance, are not only useless, they may be totally misleading. The only safe way to fly an airplane in low visibility conditions is to use instruments, which indicate the attitude of the airplane.

A. In bad weather, the senses can be misleading

B. Flying an airplane can be very difficult C. When visibility is low the only safe way to fly

an airplane is by using flight instruments. D. When the weather is clear, pilots use their

eyes to keep the airplane flying straight and level.

四项选择中 A 项和 d 项内容太具体，不能概括段落的主旨思想。 b 项内容又太笼统，超出了作者的原意。只有 C 项才准确地概括出段落的主旨思想。

进行推理判断 考查依据短文内容和考生应有的常识进行推理和判断的能

力。 此类题目文章中没有明确的答案，需要考生再理解全文的基础上进行推理和判断。其主要提问方式是：

题干表现形式： It can be inferred from the text that … From the text we know that … The story implies that… The paragraph following the passage will most probabl

y be … It may be concluded from the passage that… What would be happy if …?

1. 解推断题应注意：

(1) 不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点；

(2) 推理的根据来自于上下文。

1) 题型分类

a)        细节推断题 要求考生根据语篇关 系， 推断具体细

节， 如时间，地点， 人物关系， 人物身份， 事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息， 或者借助生活常识进行判断推理。 b)        因果推断题

要求考生根据 已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。 考生要 准确掌握文章的内涵， 理解文章的真正含义。

c)        人物性格、态度及观点判断题 高考阅读测试中有些是考察考生对作者的主导思想， 被描写人物语气， 言谈话语中流漏的情绪， 性格倾向和作者或文中人物， 态度观点等方面的理解题。 做着一类题注意：

                      i.              由表及里的准确把握字里行间的意思， 切勿用自己的主观想法或观点代替作者的思想观点。

                   ii.              特别注意那些描写环境气氛的语言， 以及表达感情， 态度观点的词语。 要特别注意作者在文章中的措辞， 尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词。

                iii.              能结合自己平时积累的有关英语国家的文化传统， 风俗习惯等背景知识来识别评价。

d)        预测想象推理题 有些内容文章中没有明确说明， 要求

考生根据语篇， 对 事件可能的结局或下段可能涉及的内容等进行预测推理。 做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路（如文章可能按事件发展的经过描写，也可能按因果关系， 对比关系来叙述）， 从而作出比较科学的合情合理的预测。

干扰项的特点：

（ 1 ） 以假乱真， 编造信息； 不是在文章事实或上下文逻辑基础上进行推理而得的观点。

（ 2 ） 混淆本末， 主次不分； 虽然以文章提供的事实或内在轮机为基础进行推理， 但推理过头， 概括过度。

（ 3 ） 直接间接不分， 把文章中明确表达的内容当成推理出来的

（ 4 ） 因果颠倒；原文的原因变成了选项中的结果， 或反之。

Example 1

One day a man walked into a pet shop and said to the shop assistant ，“ I need two small mice and about five dozen roaches and two spiders.”

“What do you need these things for?" the shop assistant was very surprised.

“Well ，” replied the man ，“ I’m moving out of my apartment and the landlord insists that I should leave the house in exactly the same condition as I found it.”

Q ： The passage suggests that when the writer moved into the house ， it was ______.

A. very clean

B. just cleaned by the landlord

C. tidy and comfortable

D. dirty and full of insects

Example 2

Some people are never right. They never have good luck. They usually do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing. And even if what they say or do is OK ， they as a rule say it or do it at the wrong time. So these people always have problems. They often break dishes. They sometimes miss buses and airplanes.

Mr. Neff is different. He is always right. He is never wrong. He usually has good luck. He seldom has problems. He never breaks dishes. He never misses buses or airplanes. Even if he does miss them ， it is always the fault of the buses or air planes. Mr. Neff knows almost everything. He doesn’t ask questions；he answers questions. He never says ，“ I don’t know.”

Q ： Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards Mr Neff? A. He finds Mr Neff hard to understand

B. He thinks Mr Neff wonderful

C. He feels pity for Mr NeffD. He does not like Mr Neff

解析：本文中使用 never ，还写到 Even if he does miss them ， it is always the fault of the buses or the airplanes.故暗示他对 Mr Neff 的讨厌之情。答案为 D 。

确定作者的观点和态度

TIPS

Put yourself in the writer’s shoes !

考查理解作者的观点和态度的测试题　　

① This article is particularly written for ___.　　② When the writer says … he really means ___.　　③ The author’s attitude to… is that ___.　　④ What kind of atmosphere does the writer want to create in this passage?　　⑤ What is the tone of the writer / passage ?　　⑥ The writer’s purpose in writing this story is ___.

确定作者的意图

　　一旦你理解了文章的结构，你会更清楚的理解作者的意图。文章的结构会受到作者意图的影响。作者的意图可能是告知或者劝说，他会根据他的意图来为文章选择一种结构或风格。作者也可能在一篇文章中体现两种意图——告知和劝说，在这种情况下最好确定那种意图是作者的主要意图。

评价作者的态度

　　作者在文章中所表现的态度并不一定是中立的或者客观的，尤其是在他们试图说服读者同意他们的意见时。理解作者的态度和文章的主旨或者提供的信息之间的关系就显得尤为重要。这是因为，作者的态度会影响文章中信息的表达方式。你应该着眼于确定作者态度的方法，以及评价作者态度是保持中立还是带有偏见。

neutral 中立的 positive 肯定的，积极的 optimistic negative 否定的，消极的 pessimistic objective 客观的 subjective 主观的 critical 批评的 praiseful 赞扬的 favorable 赞成的 ironic 讽刺的 doubtful 怀疑的 sympathetic 同情的 pitiful

如何领会作者的观点。一般说来，通读全文，掌握主题思想和主要事实，这样我们能判断出作者的观点。作者在陈述自己的观点时，有时直截了当，但更多的时候作者借用别人的观点来表明自己的立场和态度。有时作者先介绍某一观点，但通过“ yet” ，“ however” ，“ but” 等转折词来提出与前面相反的观点，表明自己的态度。因此，我们在确定作者观点时，必须将上下文联系起来分析，记住文章中有时作者所陈述的内容并非代表作者的观点。

Prof. Baker’s publish has stated that this new book will soon take the place of all the old standard works in this field: in view, however, of both the style and content of Prof. Baker’s book, I find this claim most difficult to accept.

What is the writer’s attitude towards Prof. Baker’s book?

A. Positive B. Praiseful C. Negative D. Ironic

When I first opened the package containing a copy of Prof. Baker’s latest book and read its title. I must admit I felt a sudden sinking of the heart, yet once I had gathered courage to begin my reading. I found the work so far beyond my wildest hopes that I missed the supper rather than put the book down unfinished.

What is the writer’s attitude towards Prof. Baker’s book?

A. Doubtful B. Praiseful C. Negative D. ironic

辨别文章的笔调，推断作者的态度。有效阅读要求我们能够运用多种技巧，包括识别文章的笔调。笔调在文章中能提示作者的感情、态度和立场观点。“ the tone of voice” 这一概念我们都非常熟悉。要表示对一件事情的愤怒、厌倦、高兴等不同情感，我们在说话时只要改变一下语调就可以。例如： I am really glad you called right now, even though I was in the shower. 在阅读中，我们只能通过辨别文章的笔调，来了解作者的感情和态度。作者在表露自己感情和态度时，注意选词造句，注意表达思想的不同方法，从字面直接陈述中，流露出他的感情和态度。

辨认语气及含义。领会语气，识别反语，辨认讽刺是阅读能力上水平的体现。它们在阅读中体现了作者对主题、人物甚至是作者本人的态度，从作者所写的文字中我们常可以推断出隐含的，甚至与字面意义完全相反的意思来。　　 　　例如：当你的朋友与你约会再次迟到时，你对他说：“Well, I'm glad you're on times as usual." 你真的高兴吗？你不是委婉地批评他老是迟到吗？

“slim” ，“ delicate” ，“ skinny” 及“ emaciated” 这几个英语单词，如果无法区分这些词的细微含义，那么，这些单词的词义仅仅是“ thin” ，而不再有其他的意思。阅读理解强的读者，能根据语篇提供的线索把这些词义理解到位，真正理解作者的思想意图。“ slim ” 意思是“瘦” (thin) 的意思，属于褒义词，相当于汉语的“苗条”。“ delicate” 用在“ a small delicate person” 这样的短语中有“娇嫩小巧”之意，相当于汉语的“娇弱”“娇柔”的意思。“ skinny”指“非常瘦” (very thin) ，有贬义之意，指瘦的难看或皮包骨头的人。“ emaciated” 意为由于疾病、饥饿而“消瘦”“衰弱”，属于病态的“瘦弱”。

作者态度题的解题技巧

　　 * 不要把自己的态度揉入其中，也要区分开作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度

　　 * 当作者的态度没有明确提出时，要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性去判断作者的态度

　　 * 作者观点一般与文章主旨相关联

作者态度、倾向是指作者对陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹豫不决，对记叙或描写的人、物或事件等是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶、憎恨。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的字里行间，或流露于修饰的词语之中。如：

Why isn’t your newspaper reporting any good news？ All I read about is murder, bribery(行贿 )， and death. Frankly， I’m sick of all this bad news.

This author’s attitude towards the newspaper reporting is to _____.

A. complain B. apologize C. amuse D. inform 解析：作者一是向读者说明这份报纸上只登载坏新闻，如凶杀、行贿受贿和死亡等；二是在字里行间流露出自己的抱怨情绪（对坏新闻厌恶透了），故应选 A。

With a touch of a button, television brings the world into the home of modern man. Through the miracle of television, man can be informed about events in far-off countries. He can be entertained by humorous comedies, or he can be moved by stirring dramas. Television broadens the mind and enriches the lives of people everywhere.

The write thinks that television is _________. A. a great invention B. a bad thing C. a great surprise D. of no use

If I had to select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word would be GUILTY-RIDDEN( 内疚的 ).How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims( 受害者 ) of the “give me game”, only to discover that no matter what they do, it isn’t enough. In the end, they are blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble. With this in mind, I shall first answer the question: “ What do parents owe their children?” and I shall start with what they don’t owe them.

The author’s attitude towards the parents is______

A.angry B. pitiful

C. disappointed D. satisfied

The question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer should be treated with courtesy(礼貌 ) and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rush hour like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the disabled. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child stands? Yet this is all too often seen.

What is the writer’s opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?

A. Now that women have claimed equality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. It is generally considered out of date for young men to give up their seats to young women.C. “Lady First” should be strictly practiced.D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them.

The Misunderstanding about Reading Comprehension

误区 1. 以为读得越慢，对文章的信息了解越多，理解程度也越高。

心理学与心理语言学表明：阅读速度与理解率几乎没有关系。即使有，正好相反：速度越快，理解率越高。

阅读速度快，有助于把握文章的主旨大意。

措施：1. 经常进行限时阅读。不仅注意准确率，更要注重速度，逐渐养成习惯。

2.强制把手或笔等物体离开读物。让大脑活动、眼睛转动和手指翻书。

3、进行意群阅读，扩大视幅。逐词阅读还会割断词与词的联系。

误区 2. 阅读时将文字读出声来，或在心里清晰地发出单词的音。

实验证明，默读的速度是朗读的 2倍。

过分依赖声音而非语意，将影响阅读的广度和深度。

1. 阅读时紧闭双唇。

2.有意识地将阅读速度加快到超过讲话的最快速度。

措施：

误区 3. 阅读英语时，先将英文译成母语然后经过母语去理解所读的内容。

阅读经过多重的翻译环节，必然会影响阅读速度 .

1 、阅读英文时用英语思考非常必要。

2、经过大量的快速阅读训练，脑子会自然而然地与英语建立直接的联系。

措施：

误区 4. 对已读过的内容感到不放心或因没看懂，再次倒回去读。

倒读次数太多会影响阅读速度。

对一篇文章的理解一般情况是相对的，并不要求记住每个细节。

1. 建立只读一遍就能懂的自信心。

2、首先理解文章大意。

3、阅读中目光始终从左到右移动。（除根据题目要求，有必要重读有些内容外）

措施：

误区 5. 平时阅读中不适当地、非常频繁地使用英汉词典。

一篇文章变得支离破碎，不利于整体把握文章的主旨大意。

阅读效率低下。

1. 阅读训练时，选择在词汇和语法深度上与自己相当的材料。（生词＜＝ 10）

2. 采用上下文分析或根据词根、前、后缀等方法猜词。

3.完成阅读训练任务后 ,有必要重读该文章，查生词的准确含义，并记忆。

措施：

Practice makes perfect!
