高考英语阅读理解高分技巧
一、常见题型分析
(一)主旨大意题
主旨大意题在阅读理解试题中所占比例及难度都相当大。主旨大意是作者在文章中要表达的主要内容，是全文的核心，作者在文章中努力通过各种细节信息来阐明中心话题。因此，把握主旨大意对于正确理解全文具有重要意义。要找出主旨大意，应采用快速阅读法浏览全文，阅读时要注意抓住表达中心思想的句子。文章不同，中心句在文章中的位置也就不同，但一般情况下阅读时应特别留意文章的开头、结尾及各个段落的首句和尾句，因为它们往往包含文章的中心议题。
常见的命题方式：
What is the main idea of this passage?
What dose this passage mainly concern?
The main theme of this passage is_____________
The main point of the passage is___________
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
The title that best expresses the theme of the passage is______
The purpose of the writer writing this passage is_____
Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?
文章主题常常可以通过文章的写作方法来体现，有以下几种情况：
1。题句位于句首。主题句出现在文首，开门见山，提出主题，随之用细节来解释、支撑主题句所表达的主题思想。这是英语中最常见的演绎写作法。 2。主题句位于段末。主题句出现在文章结尾是作者采用了先摆事实，后作结论的手法。这种段落称作归纳型段落。这是英语中最常见的归纳写作法。3. 主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题，作者先提出主题，结尾时再次点出主题，这种首尾呼应的写作方法也较为多见。通常，前后表述主题的句子不是简单的重复，后面的表述往往有进一步的引申或发展的意味。4。主题句位于段落的中间。主题句出现在文章的中间，通常前面只提出问题，文章的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出，而后又作进一步的解释、说明或发展。5。主题句隐含在段意之中。全文没有明确的主题句。其中心思想包含在各个句子中，在这种情况下，读者要把所有已知的细节综合起来，进行逻辑推理，概括归纳出主题句。
【典例1】 The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take。
Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid(电网). Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replaces filters monthly or as needed。
……
Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than ￡65 per year。
Carpool. The average U.S. commuter(乘车上班族) could save about ￡260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg—assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.
This passage is mainly about ________。
A. energy-saving tips B. fuel-saving tips
C. do-it-yourself tips D. environment-protecting tips
【解析】 本文主要介绍了如何节约能源。本文是一篇科普文章，主题很明显，文章一开始就点明了主题，接下来整篇文章都是围绕如何save energy展开，而save fuel仅仅只是其中的一部分。故选A。针对主旨大意类题目，应采用快速阅读法(Skimming)浏览全文。在阅读时，应特别注意文章的开头、结尾及段落的段首句和段尾句，因为他们往往名包含文章的中心议题。
【典例2】 Domestic (驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the Kentucky Derby, and carry police. But early horses weren’t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today。
Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication。
……
The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.
The passage is mainly about _______。
A. why humans domesticated horses
B. how humans and horses needed each other
C. why horses came in different shapes and sizes
D. how human societies and horses influenced each other
【解析】本文以时间为顺序，记叙了人类对马的驯化以及马对人类的生活所产生的重要影响。本题考查主旨大意。前四段说明，人类驯养了野马，使得马的种类繁多，这是人类社会对马的影响；最后一段说明，马作为交通工具加速了人类文化传播的进程。故文章的主题应是D所说的内容。此主题句出现在文章的最后一段。如果文章没有明确的主题句，文章的中心思想往往包含在各个段落中，考生可采取提纲挈领的方法，通过分析细节把文章的要点归纳出来，概括出全文的中心思想。
选择标题属主旨大意题，是阅读理解题常考的题型之一。那么怎么样选择文章的标题？ 选择文章标题属深层次理解题，它要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者写作意图，在此基础上，所选出的标题还应做到概括性、针对性、醒目性的有机结合。
1。概括性原则 要求标题应在最大限度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主旨。标题实际上是文章主题的一种确认方式。前面我们提到，通过寻找主题句，往往很容易确定短文的标题。但大多数文章的主题句并不明显，需要我们通过体会字里行间蕴含的意思从整体上把握文章的主旨，从全局的角度概括归纳出文章的标题。要防止本末倒置，主次不分，以点代面，以偏概全。
2。针对性原则 针对性原则是对标题外延的一种界定。概括性原则要求文章标题包括文章的主要内容。但如果标题过大，就违背了针对性原则、针对性原则要求标题不能太过于概括，而是要直接指向文章的主旨。即标题不能太大也不能太小。要量体裁衣，大小适度。
3。醒目性原则 标题是文章的点睛之笔，是文章的灵魂。标题的好坏往往会影响文章的可读性。读者往往从标题上决定文章的阅读取舍。故标题往往比较醒目，甚至比较离奇，目的是为了吸引读者的注意力，唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。所以在标题选择的过程中，在满足概括性和针对性的条件下，还要考虑标题的醒目性。
(二)推理判断题
推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意义的基础上，通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示，作出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的深层意义及隐含意义的过程。推理判断题在阅读中属于难度较高的题型，通常占总题数的15%－30%。它主要考查考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力以及考生的识别能力。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可能是某几句话，要求考生在遵循原文意义的基础上，对文章字面信息进行分析、挖掘、逻辑推理，揭示其深层含义。常出现的推理题有逻辑推理，知识推理等。这类考题中常出现的词有：infer, imply, suggest, indicate, conclude, learn from, probably, most likely, can, could, might, may等。
常见的命题方式：
From paragraph one we can infer that_________
What can be inferred from the passage?
We can infer from the text that…?
What can we learn from…?
We can conclude from the passage that_______
The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that______
The author implies that_______
This passage would most likely be found in______
The author’s attitude toward…is_________?
推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上，掌握文章的真正内涵。(1)要吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础；(2)要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工，由表入里，由浅入深，从具体到抽象，从特殊到一般，通过分析、综合、判断等，进行深层处理，符合逻辑地推理。不能就事论事，断章取义，以偏概全；(3)要忠实于原文，不能主观臆想，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点；(4)要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摩作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。
【典例1】 Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier—the shark(鲨鱼)。
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms。
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure。
If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather。
…
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system。
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology。
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish—none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts。
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research. (2008·天津卷)
44. The passage is most probably taken from _____。
A. a short-story collection
B. a popular science magazine
C. a research paper
D. a personal diary
45. What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?
A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather。
B. Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled。
C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job。
D. Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster。
如：Mary is due to leave at two o’clock。
【解析】 本文为科普类文章，介绍了一位英国生物系学生对于鲨鱼来预测暴风雨的研究。
44. B 推理判断题。本题适宜用排除法。由文章内容来看这是一篇科普文，A、D可删除，由文章的语言来看，并未出现大量的专业术语，可删除C “a research paper”(科研论文)
45. A 推理判断题。由第一段和第四段可知，前四段所要表达的含义为If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of Sharks to predict bad weather。(科学家们可以通过监视鲨鱼的行为来预测不好的天气”。故A 项正确。细节推断题要求学生根据语篇关系，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推理判断。解答此类题，不仅需要我们有一定的社会基础知识，而且还需要对细节以及有关背景知识有一个充分的理解。
【典例2】 It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him。
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday。” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days。
…
Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser。”
“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked。
“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.
69. Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?
A. He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest。
B. He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son。
C. He had missed his son and his family for days。
D. He came to realize the importance of the time with his family。
【解析】 本文属于记叙文，文章由邻居之死而引出一个不容忽视的社会主题：友情、亲情才是最重要的。69. D推理判断题，由文中可知Belser的遗言对Jack触动很大，同时也使他开始领悟到：只有亲人、朋友才是生活中最重要的。因果推断题要求考生根据已知结果推测导致该结果产生的可能原因，考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。回答推理判断题的试题时，考生一定要牢记，能够直接从文中找到的选项不是正确选项，因为与原文一样的句子不叫推理。只有那些没有在文中直接出现，但根据文中的信息经过推断可以得出的才是符合题意的正确选项。
【典例3】As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk。” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while。
…
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
55. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. Happy but short. B. Lonely but memorable。
C. Boring and meaningless. D. Long and unforgettable。
【解析】本文描述了小时侯玩耍的“树林”对与“我”和朋友们的意义。主要讲述了我们在“树林”中所从事的活动——探索，以及之后随着年龄的增长，不再去那里的过程。55. A 从全文看，作者在“树林”里过的很愉快，又由最后一段可知，当我们一部分人上了七年级之后。我们在“树林”中的玩耍就结束了。很短暂。因此，正确选项为 A。做这一类题时一定注意：1. 由表及里地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。2. 要特别注意那些描写环境气氛的语言，以及表达感情、态度观点的词语和作者在文章中的措辞，尤其是感情色彩的形容词。3. 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。
(三)词义推测题
该题型主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。近几年的高考阅读理解题越来越重视对猜词悟义能力的考查，试题中有一到两个小题是直接考查词义猜测的。从考查内容看主要有猜测某个生词、熟词、短语或句子的意思以及猜测代词的指代等。
常见的命题方式：
Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word…?
The word…could best be replaced by…?
In the…paragraph, the word…means(refers to)…
According to the passage,…probably means…
The authors uses the word…to mean…
The word…is most likely to mean…。
【典例1】 Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager。
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste。”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits。
…
41. The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probably means _________。
A. interest B. distance C. difference D. separation
【解析】本文讲述“代沟”的发展、变化。以40岁左右为分界线，之前和之后与子女间的关系在改变，虽然代沟越来越窄，但仍没有消失，家庭研究专家提醒新的平等关系也会导致子女对父母的不尊重。41. D 由上文中提到的 “…he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager。”以及“There was just a complete gap in taste。”可知gulf应表示两代人之间关系的“代沟”。separation指“分开，分离”。猜测词义时更多用到的方法是：结合上下文的意义、线索、内在逻辑关系。一般情况下，上下文所提示的意义与所考词汇通常是同义、反义或针对性解释的关系，可直接确定词义。根据上下文意义很难作出判断的，就考虑用句法和内在逻辑方法去判断，符合句法和内在逻辑的可能为正确答案，反之则排除。
【典例2】
Dear Hamilton,
We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you。
You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral(葬礼)remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts。
It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor)， but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives。
This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for)， but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting。
Thank you for understanding.
63. The underlined word “contributions” probably means ________。
A. money B. suggestions C. reports D. understanding
【解析】这是一篇书信，作者提出办公室里存在一种不好的现象：无论有什么事，办公室里所有人都凑份子钱。作者对这种做法提出质疑，说这种风气不好，并希望收信人能够关注此事。63. A 第二段说凑份子是为了买礼物庆祝职员个人生活中的大事，比如婚礼，葬礼等。结合选项判断，画线部分的contributions指money，故选A。做题时，首先要仔细看单词来确定词性，是名词、动词、形容词还是副词，(如上面的高考题中的contributions，根据-tion我们可以推知该词应该是名词)；然后好好研究含有生词的从句或句子与其他的句子或段落之间的关系，或跟相邻单词或句子的关系，它们之间可能出现因果、比较、时间、例证等关系，有时候标点符号也可以提供线索。最后还要根据上下文检测猜测结果的正确性。
(四)细节理解题
细节理解题在高考阅读理解题中占有相当大的比例。从2007·全国各地的试题来看，细节理解题占全部阅读理解题的50%还多。细节理解题一般是根据短文提供的信息和事实提问的。细节题可分为两种类型：一种是答案几乎可以直接出短文中获得，正确答案和原文中含相关信息的句子也几乎相同；另一种细节题要复杂一些，有时在原文中找不到同正确选项相近的词，正确答案可能是原文某一事实的结果、原因、前提等。细节理解题的特点是：要选择的答案一定要在短文中找到相关的词、短语、句子或段落。选择的依据必须是短文本身提供的信息，而绝不是根据自己的主观假设或推测或是自己的观点来决定。在阅读过程中对一些涉及到who, what, when, where, how, why等常考的细节内容做适当标记，以便于解题时迅速、准确的查找。
常见的命题方式：
According to the author, who/what/when/ where/which/why/how…?
Which of the following statements is true/not true?
The statement made by the author is based on the evidence/example/fact that_____
Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the text?
The author states all of the following EXCEPT_________
当问题中含有not,except,but等表示否定、排除等意义的词时，需要进行逆向思维。因此，一定要保持思维清晰、认真审题，不要武断。
【典例1】 Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn。
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree。
…
56. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?
A. It was not historically recorded
B. Its horn was first used in France
C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx
D. It could be the symbol of a university
57. To catch a unicorn, the unicorn-trappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT ____。
A. tempting the unicorn to attack
B. making use of the tree as a protection
C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn
D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree
【解析】 本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了传说中的独角兽，如何捕捉，以及独角兽角的用途等。56. D 细节理解题。A项错误是因为与第一段第二句不吻合；B项错误是因为与第三段中的事实不符，文中只提到了the French court用了unicornhorn，时间是the French Revolution in 1789，并未说这是第一次使用；C项错在与第一段不符，文中只提到了Aristotle的理论阐述，并没有说人们对the Indian Ass和the Oryx熟悉；D项与第一段倒数第二句内容吻合。对细节考查通常涉及一些长难句，对此，不要惊慌，首先判断是简单句还是复合句，若是简单句，先找句子的主、谓、宾，理解其主要意义，再加附属成分的意义。若是复合句，先判断从句，再分析各自的意义，最后联合整句意义。对于细节理解题要认真，周全考虑方能选取正确答案。这种题的正确选项往往是原文意义的不同表现形式。干扰项常是以下几种情况：选项本身正确，但不符合题干要求；选项本身错误或原文根本没有提到；选项中含有原文信息，但其中个别词描述的不准确，这种选项的干扰性最强，考生在答题时要十分注意。
57. C 细节理解题。A项正确是因为与第二段中提到的the hunter的诱捕行为吻合，即stand in front of a tree来引诱unicorn的攻击，其目的就是catch a unicorn；B项正确是因为 the hunter 引诱unicorn来攻击而后move quickly behind it(the tree)，其目的就是利用the tree作为掩护，而不是躲到unicorn的后面，所以C项错误；D项正确是因为与第二段最后一句吻合。问题中有时含有NOT，EXCEPT，BUT等表示否定、排除等意义的词语，需要进行逆向思维。因此，一定要保持思维清晰，认真审题，不宜匆忙武断。
【典例2】Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18。
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added。
…
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.
56. Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival ____。
A. is organized by a middle school
B. is as famous as the Toronto Festival
C. shows films made by children
D. offers awards to film school students
57. Which of the following is true of Wingspan Arts?
A. It helps young filmmakers to make money。
B. It provides arts projects for young people。
C. It’s a media arts and leadership-training group。
D. It’s a national organization for young people。
60. At the end of this film festival, there will be ____。
A. various awards B. “red carpet” interviews
C. an open reception D. a concert at Lincoln Center
【解析】 本文主要讲述了由孩子们拍摄的电影，并在电影节上展示的事情。56. C细节理解题。由第二段最后一句话和第三段第一句话“…the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18。“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,”可知Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festivals是专门由孩子制作电影然后，专门为孩子播放带来艺术享受的节日。57. B 细节理解题。由第三段第二句话“…Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area”可知Wingspan Arts是一个非盈利为目的的为青少年提供艺术项目的纽约的组织。60.C 细节理解题。由最后一段的“The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown”可知电影节结束时会举办一次开放的招待会，届时将会有其它的电影上映。在读文章之前先读题，对要考查的细节部分做简要记录，这样，在读文章时才能快而准确地锁定目标信息，以便节省时间和减少反复寻找细节的麻烦。细节理解题中有很多是非题。出题形式：1)三正一误(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)：Which of the following is true except...? Which of the following is mentioned except...?2) 三误一正(三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)： Which of the following is true? 解题方法：1)定位法 根据题干或选项中的关键词回归原文，找到相关句，仔细阅读后与选项相比较确定答案。2)固定思路这种做题方法主要与三正一误的下列问法相联系：Which of the following mentioned except...? Which of the following is not mentioned...?这种问题的正确选项所包含的信息通常连续出现在同一段，而且往往无列举标志词，如first，second，third等。做题时只需阅读有关段落，根据一个选项中的关键词在其前后找其他两个正确选项，剩下一个原文中未提到的，为正确答案。
【典例3】 Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself。
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world。
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it。
…
46. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________。
A. dare to challenge yourself
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
47. According to the passage, our self-images _________。
A. have positive effects
B. are probably untrue
C. are often changeable
D. have different functions
【解析】 文章阐述了如何避免消极，并建立积极向上的自我形象。46. C 细节理解题。从Para1 最后一句“If you find that believing yourself is a challenge”可知意思是“缺乏自信”。47. C细节理解题。 从Para 2 第二句，“This image includes…”可知，self-image是可变的。选项A，不全面；根据第一段最后一句Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self?image and your whole world。可判断C项正确。细节性问题是关于SUPPORTING DETAILS 类的问题，通过SKIMMING找出主题后，应进一步掌握阐述和发展主题的主要事实，或按要求找出特定细节。这类题目常以“wh-”形式来提问，如 who, what, when, why及how等形式。这些问题的表达不采用文章中的原话提问，而是使用同义词语等，因此，在选择答案前应首先看清题干，然后在查读时寻找与题目相关的关键词语；最后，在充分理解原文、原题的基础上选定正确的答案。当然，这类细节性问题涉及的面很广。有的涉及数字计算，如时间、距离、次数、数量等，对这类问题须认真计算后方可选定正确答案；有的涉及正误判断，要先看选项，根据选项提供的线索，寻找文中相应部分，最后在题中选出肯定答案；还有的是有关事实、原因、结果、目的等。总之，做细节题切忌通过自己对某类知识的主观了解和认识做出轻率判断，一定要紧扣文章内容，不可随心所欲。
二、解题方法
1. 先看题干，带着问题读文章。
即先看试题，再读文章。阅读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调，作者未加陈述的观点以及贯穿全文的中心主旨的理解等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间。特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。
2. 速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读的目的是获取信息。一个人的阅读能力的高低决定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力。没有一定的阅读速度就不能顺利地输入信息，更谈不上运用英语。近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40个词左右。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
抓主题句这是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。用归纳法撰写的文章，都是表述细节的句子在前，概述性的句子居后。此时主题句就是文章的最后一句。通常用演绎法撰写的文章，大都遵循从一般到个别的写作程序，即从概述开始，随之辅以细说。这时，主题句就是文章的第一句。当然也有些文章没有主题句，需要读者自己去归纳。主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用，主旨大意题，归纳概括题，中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。
