------各类题型的特点及解答技巧
(一)主旨题
1.文章主旨给出的四种形式:文首,文中,文尾,没有明确主旨,需总结.
2.主旨题的解题技巧
*不管它出现在文章的什么位置,都作为最后一道题去做,因为做完其他题以后会对主旨的理解有帮助
*着重理解首末段,首末句
*主旨在文章中间的情况(非文首文尾),遇到文章前后段意思转折,提高警惕
3.主旨题的注意事项:
*段落中出现转折时,该句很可能是主题句
*作者有意识的反复重复的观点通常是主旨
*首段出现疑问句时,对该问题的解答就是文章主旨
*提出文章主旨时常伴有的文字提示:therefore,thus,but,however,in short等等
4.选项特点:
正确选项特点:不出现细节信息;不含过分肯定或绝对意义的词
干扰项特点:细节信息明显;过于笼统
(二)作者观点和态度题
1.作者态度题的解题技巧
*作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案
*漠不关心类词语一定不对,既然写文章就不会不关心
*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
[注]新趋势:
*不仅局限于作者的态度,而发展到问文中某人对某事物的态度
*选项可能不再是态度明确的肯定或否定的词语,而改为带有程度限制的词
*一般带有绝对化或过于强烈的表示必错,如:strong,complete,entire,enthusiastic等
*持有保留态度的比较客观,常常是正确选项,如:reserved,qualified,tempered,guarded,consent等
(三)词义/句义题
1.对词义考察的两种方式:超纲词义含义推断;熟词生义或是在特定场合的意思
2.词义题的解题技巧:
*根据上下文进行推理猜测,两个原则
<1>不管这个词多超纲,根据上下文都能得出其意思
<2>不管这个词多熟悉,都要通过上下文得出其在特定场合的意思
*正确选项不是熟词的常规含义
3.猜测词义的方法:
*构词法:根据词根,词缀判断词义
*词性加搭配:先判断生词在文章中的词性,再看它与哪些词语可以搭配,最后根据自己的常识推测
*找同义词,同义解释,反义词,反义解释:在上下文中找出生词的其他表示方法,由此推断其含义
*找同位词:上下文中有可能有类似生词出现的句子的平行结构,找出其中和生词处于同一位置的词去推测
4.句义题的解题技巧
*正确选项不含有意义过于绝对化的词语,而是使用不肯定语气或意义解释深刻
*含原文词或短语越多,就越不可能是正确选项
(四)推理引申题
1.推理引申题的选项特点与答题技巧
干扰项的特点
*只是原文的简单复述,而非推断出来的结论,把直接表达当作间接推理
*看似从原文推断出来的结论,然而实际上与原文不符,如因果倒置,手段变目的等
*根据考生已有的常识是正确的,但是却不是基于文章,一切以文章为准
*推理过头,引申过渡
正确选项的特点
*不是文中明确说明的内容,没有引申推理就不是正确选项
*正确选项大多含义深刻,不是常识选项
[注意]
*注意那些似乎话中有话的的间接表达句,它们往往采用说半句,打比喻,反着说的方式,让考生有推理的余地
*注意含义深刻或结构复杂的句子.考生对作者表达的意思能不能一下子看透,也是命题点所在
(五)事实细节题
1.事实细节题的选项特点
正确选项特点
*一般可以在文章中直接或间接找到答案,但是不可能与阅读材料一模一样,而是用不同的词语或句型表达相同的意思
题干+正确选项的信息值等于或者约等于原文中某句的信息值
体现中心思想,一篇试题的细节与主旨直接关联
干扰选项的特点
*部分正确,部分错误
*是原文信息,但是不是题目要求的内容
*符合常识,但不是文章内容
*与原句的内容极为相似,只是在程度上有些变动
2.事实细节题的解题技巧
*主旨与细节是相辅相成的,确定了主题,才能深刻理解材料的作用.同样,对具体细节有较为全面的理解,就能更好的判明主题
*文章的事实细节内容不会孤立的出现,它与前后的内容密切相关,考生要善于利用因果,类比,时间,空间的关系将零碎的细节组成一个有机整体
*看细节内容要"跳出来"看,即要对文章的组织结构有很清楚的认识,然后判断这个细节为什么主题服务
*坚决遵循"本本主义",文章里有什么就用什么,不可凭感觉发挥做题

A
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
1..According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends
D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
4.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because ________.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them
B
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .
5.Before children start speaking________.
A.they need equal amount of listening
B.they need different amounts of listening
C.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D.they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
6.Children who start speaking late ________.
A.may have problems with their listening
B.probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C.usually pay close attention to what they hear
D.often take a long time in learning to listen properly
7.A baby’s first noises are ________.
A.an expression of his moods and feelings
B.an early form of language
C.a sign that he means to tell you something
D.an imitation of the speech of adults
8.The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.
A.is important because words have different meanings for different people
B.is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D.is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless
9.The speaker implies________.
A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D.even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
C
The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.
10.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.
A.many children died before they were five
B.the youngest child would be fifteen

12.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.
A.marry so that they can get a job
B.leave school as soon as they can
C.give up their jobs for good after they are married
D.continue working until they are going to have a baby
13.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to ________.
A.stay at home after leaving school
B.marry men younger than themselves
C.start working again later in life

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words“Post Office” instead of“Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
