前言(Preface)

閱讀是一種重要的學習技能。大量的閱讀可以有效促進英語聽、說、讀、

寫能力的全面發展，它是學生學習英語的主要途徑。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容，也是運用英語的主要能力之一。提高英

語閱讀能力，對于廣大英語學習者來說，是一個非常重視但又相當艱苦的學習過

程。盡管我們的英語教學歷來重視培養學生的閱讀能力，但由于傳統的英語教學

過多地承擔了詞匯、語法等語言基礎知識的教學任務，英語教師常把大量的時間、

精力用于知識點的傳授、復習、掌握和操練上，專門的閱讀訓練，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練不足，導致學生的閱讀能力并

沒有得到實質性的提高。

培養學生的閱讀能力是主要教學目標之一，而在平時的教學過程中我們發現

閱讀是學生最頭疼的問題。隨著信息社會的出現，教育既要傳播信息，又要培養

學生攝取信息、處理信息的能力，而閱讀教學的目的就是在于培養交際性閱讀能

力，能有效地獲取書面信息，并對此信息進行分析、推理和評價，以實現交際的

目的。與其他語言學習一樣，英語學習包括聽、說、讀、寫四個方面，而閱讀是

其中的重要的一部分，且正變得越來越重要。因為英語閱讀是接觸英語，吸收語

言材料，獲取感性認識的最重要的途徑之一。閱讀教學一直以來都是中學英語

教學的主體。新課程中學英語課程標準明確指出“要側重培養學生的閱讀理解能

力”。閱讀能力是最為重要的學習能力，培養良好的閱讀習慣、閱讀策略和提高

學生的閱讀能力已成為英語教學的重要目標之一。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節之一，在英語教學

中占有重要地位。

要提高學生閱讀能力，單純通過教科書中的課文教學是不夠的，還要根據學

生的具體情況，有計劃地指導學生的課外閱讀量。我們在這本書中給學生選擇材

料時掌握以下原則：（1）思想性強，內容健康；（2）材料難易適合學生實

際水平；（3）題材涉及面廣，趣味性強，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

有趣；（4）文章類型多樣化，包括政治經濟、社會文化、科學技術、風俗習慣、

歷史地理等；（5）語言地道、規范。

本書中的閱讀材料不僅有利于學生擴大詞匯量、豐富語言知識，開闊視野、

開拓思路，還有利于學生了解英、美等國的文化背景、生活習俗、思維習慣及英

語特有的語言表達方式，從而提高閱讀理解能力和英語運用能力。

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，是初中英語教學大綱的集中體現,

而且占分比例較大，是應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、體育、生活、傳說、人

物、文化、史地、科技、政治、經濟等廣泛內容，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，不要因為自身詞匯量小，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

進行閱讀，這樣就能把握方向，同時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、是要切忌一個詞一個詞割裂地理解，或將無關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

段落的關鍵句或主題句，對文章的理解起著重要的作用；同時要學會正確猜測詞

義，有機地聯系上下文，讀了上文，猜測下文，不要逐詞翻譯，造成前后脫節，

缺乏語感，以致于理解錯誤。

第五，充分利用語篇中的文字或圖表形式等基本信息，準確地捕捉關鍵事實

和細節，進而歸納出主旨大意，領會全文的邏輯關系，弄清作者的寫作意圖等，

進行推理判斷，挖掘字里行間的深層內涵。

1

第六，完成選擇時，看其是否與文中內容相矛盾，有無文中信息支持點，再

有就是看它是否完全符合題目的要求；如果讓你判斷其標題的話，要看文章表達

的是人還是事，從而推斷其標題內容。所有的選項必須以文章為基礎，不要隨意

發揮想象或聯想。

第七，忌忽略時間。做閱讀理解題時，一定要從整體上控制時間，時間分配

根據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。因為做完題后，你的心情相對放松了往往會產生新

的思路、新的靈感。即使做完題后時間所剩無幾了，你再把未處理的題猜測一下

也不晚，因為你仍然有選對的可能性。

第八，良好的閱讀習慣。這個要靠平時的培養。克服閱讀時不必要的附帶動

作，如頭部轉動、用手指或鉛筆逐個點詞等等；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，用眼睛去掃描，這樣既能提高速度又能整句理

解。

很多學生最怕在閱讀時碰到生詞。接下來呢，我們來具體談談在閱讀的時候

遇到生詞時的應對策略。在閱讀英語文章時難免會遇到生詞，這就需要我們去猜

測該詞的詞義。猜測詞義可以通過上下文進行邏輯推理，也可通過語法進行分析

判斷，有時還要依靠常識和經驗。考試的時候是不允許帶字典的，出題的人在設

計理解題時，設計者往往在四個選項中設計出一個似是而非的答案。這樣答案干

擾性特別強，容易迷惑考生。很多學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，如果發現一個看似正確答案時就草率定

案，自然而然也就在下面的答題不知該選哪一個，往往會掉進設計者設置的“陷

阱”里，答錯的幾率自然增大。其實文章中大部分生詞的意思都可以通過上下文

的關系猜出來的，下面就來介紹一些猜詞的技巧：

1.通過因果關系猜詞

2

通過因果關系猜詞，首先是找出生詞與上下文之間的邏輯關系，然后才能猜

詞。有時文章借助關聯詞（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），可猜出blame的詞義是“責

備”。

2.通過同義詞和反義詞的關系猜詞

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,即使我們不認識gay這個詞，也可以知道它是愉快的意思、；二是看在進一

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

個詞都屬于“行星”這一義域。通過反義詞猜詞，一是看表轉折關系的連詞或副

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.通過構詞法猜詞

在閱讀文章時，我們總會遇上一些新詞匯，有時很難根據上下文來推斷其詞

意，而它們對文章的理解又有著舉足輕重的作用，此時，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期，即drought,由此可見drought意思為“久旱”，

“旱災”。而adryperiod和drought是同義語。這種同義或釋義關系常由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是同類關系，同屬fruit類，因此

它們是兩樣水果，準確地說，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

性。

總而言之，閱讀理解靠的是扎實的語言基礎。俗話說：冰凍三尺，非一日之

寒。扎實的語言基礎來自平時嚴格的基本功訓練和長期的知識積累。只要平時刻

苦用功，打下扎實的英語知識基礎，又掌握了較科學的解題方法做“閱讀理解”

題是不會太難的。我們學習英語不只是和別人交流，更重要的是，要通過閱讀報

刊書籍，研讀名著，了解風土人情，生活習慣，科學技術的發展與進步等等。讀

文章必須理解，怎樣才能驗證初學者是否掌握了所閱讀的文章呢？一般有回答根

據短文內容所提的問題，有給出題干，留一個空，再給幾個答案，讓答題的人根

據短文內容來確定正確的答案；也有在題干上留一個空，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容的基礎上，否則就是一句空

話。

PartII政治經濟類專項訓練

做政治經濟類初中英語閱讀理解時，平時就要注意了解國內外發生的政治經

濟大事，掌握一定背景知識。對這類文章的敘述特點及內容安排有一定了解，還

要擴展這方面的詞匯。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系。
