關(guān)于英語閱讀理解二寶有話說
閱讀理解的地位在國內(nèi)英語考試中不言而喻,搞定閱讀最起碼能幫你得到英語分?jǐn)?shù)的一半江山。但只要是考試,總有人歡喜有人愁,我今日分享的方法并不是你的救命草,對于英語這種特別需要點(diǎn)滴積累的學(xué)科而言,先要能看懂文章,再來學(xué)技巧,因?yàn)榭炊宋恼隆倌茏鰧︻}目。
我們的英語閱讀理解題目其實(shí)并不會(huì)像我們的語文閱讀理解一樣,它的題型上都是客觀題,這就決定了正確選項(xiàng)要的是客觀事實(shí),而非是主觀理解,言下之意就是選項(xiàng)脫離了客觀,談主觀那都是錯(cuò)誤,作者沒說的都是錯(cuò)的,哪怕是合理的推斷!
比如2019年的6級閱讀,請閱讀下文,選出答案后,再看解析。

Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI)will be“either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity", and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as "crucial to the future of our civilization and our species"
46. What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?
A)It would be vital to the progress of human civilization.
B)It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.
C)It might present challenges as well as opportunities.
D)It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.
結(jié)合題目定位信息,我們很快就能通過連連看找到,主語是AI的創(chuàng)造,謂語是will be,賓語是后面的那句話就是我們的答案,我們只要理解即可,接下去我們來看選項(xiàng),AD可以直接排除,剩下BC,而C屬于典型的主觀正確,但原文未提,而正確答案便是B,why?either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity,它是人類發(fā)生過的最好或最壞的事情,這是原文的意思,B選項(xiàng)的意思:這可能是福氣,也可能是災(zāi)難,而C選項(xiàng)的意思:它可能既帶來挑戰(zhàn),也帶來機(jī)遇。通過比對我們選擇最接近原文的B選項(xiàng),C選項(xiàng)雖然主觀理解非常完美,但是錯(cuò)就錯(cuò)在present帶來,帶來是后果,而原文沒有說AI帶來的后果如何如何,所以C選項(xiàng)屬于無中生有+推理過度。B選項(xiàng)無論邏輯和意思均符合原文。
所以其實(shí)對英語閱讀而言,它不需要我們做哈姆雷特,而除了主旨題和詞匯題,做其他題目實(shí)質(zhì)都是【連連看】,即主謂賓一一對應(yīng),對絕大數(shù)題目而言,能直接做到題目-原文的連連看,少部分題目需要完全的同意替換。
另外,無論是高考還是46級還是考研,出題的順序都是先找外刊原文>專家替換成適合考試水平的單詞、調(diào)整變化句式>結(jié)合原文設(shè)置問題和正確選項(xiàng)>設(shè)計(jì)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)。
根據(jù)這一出題順序,我們做題的順序應(yīng)該要和出題順序保持一致,先看問題找到定位點(diǎn),理解后得出最直接的答案,然后根據(jù)這個(gè)最直接的答案去比對答案,選出最符合的選項(xiàng),正確選項(xiàng)必須滿足三個(gè)維度:一是回答所問、二要遵循原文、三要符合邏輯,是不是覺得很有道理,但是!命題人也不傻,這幾年妥妥的命題反套路,你們都喜歡定位是吧,我偏偏出那種定位都找不到的題目。

下面我們看今年2020年7月的浙江英語高考卷的text1。
I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(劇作家)hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性)of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(變暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He has written dozens of plays.?????????????????????B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor.?????????????????????D. He likes reading short plays to others.
22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?
A. Stating the plays'central ideas.??????????????????????B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C. Including various types of plays.????????????????????D. Offering information on the playwrights.
23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?
A. Control their feelings.??????????????????????????????????B. Apply their acting skills.
C. Use their imagination.??????????????????????????????????D. Keep their audience in mind.
24. What is this text?
A. A short story.??????????????????????????????????????????????B. An introduction to a book.
C. A play review.?????????????????????????????????????????????D. An advertisement for a theater.
21和24題,比較簡單,這里不做贅述,而22和23題,我今年讓我的學(xué)生(在我市最好的重點(diǎn)高中里)嘗試做今年高考的第一篇,她卻犯了難,因?yàn)樗褪钦也坏蕉ㄎ痪洌槐橐槐榈乃揽脑?,就是選不出,你說文章和選項(xiàng)理解上有難度嗎?一定不是,可就是做不出來。
遇到這種情況,基礎(chǔ)功的重要性就出來,對就是那個(gè)老生常談的問題:詞匯量和長難句。
所以,首先,我們一定要做到閱讀和無障礙,也就是你一篇文章下來不能超過10%的單詞不認(rèn)識(shí),選項(xiàng)單詞必須都認(rèn)識(shí),有了這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)最起碼能做對一半題;其次,剩下的一半題目想做對,需要依靠邏輯分析來比出正確答案,這就要求既要知道正確選項(xiàng)為啥對,錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)為什么錯(cuò);最后,等你熟悉了錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)的坑,練出了火眼金睛,自然而然就能做到心中有數(shù)。
我做閱讀的流程和方法,標(biāo)段落>僅看題目,猜測原文中心>第一遍掃讀原文,從寫作解讀去思考文章是如何展開的,著重留意轉(zhuǎn)折處、因果處、結(jié)論處>第二遍根據(jù)題文同序原則,一題一題做過去比過去>完成,另外由于我的基礎(chǔ)比較好,所以我基本上很少需要語法分析,學(xué)習(xí)理解長難句沒問題,但是學(xué)習(xí)的目的是幫助我們理解原文!
最后,請君謹(jǐn)記三條:
1、所有的技巧在沒有基礎(chǔ)面前那都是花架子,是錦上添花的東西,這幾年命題反套路妥妥的,更加需要我們基礎(chǔ)功底扎實(shí);
2、一輩子學(xué)一次英語,不要考試了就要背單詞,又要學(xué)語法了,功夫花在平時(shí);
3、我知道最初開始的時(shí)候都很難,但是只要相信每天學(xué)習(xí)掌握一點(diǎn),那總有厚積薄發(fā)的一天,我不怕你沒基礎(chǔ),最怕你自暴自棄,感嘆出:我就是沒語言天賦,我就是不會(huì)英語。
如果覺得不錯(cuò),可以關(guān)注我,素質(zhì)三連哦~~~
