1、第五讲六道题专练近六年江苏高考英语阅读理解最后一篇的长度分别是:2014年689词,2015年637词,2016年695词,2017年681词,2018年640词,2019年616词。面对如此长篇的阅读,许多考生对此感到紧张焦虑。原因如下:1.时间紧,任务重高考英语4篇阅读理解的做题时间一般只有30分钟,因此最后的长篇阅读一般也只有8分钟左右,很多学生在这么短的时间内根本看不完文章,更无法完成做题。2.句子长,生词多在长篇阅读中经常可以看到占据2至3行的长句,这些长句往往让学生看到一头雾水,不知所云。此外,大量生词更增加了阅读理解的难度。3.信息杂,定位难长篇阅读的文章后一般设56道题。因为文
2、章较长,细节题所对应的信息源不易确定,特别是一个问题中的4个选项分别需要找到4个不同的信息,这让学生望而生畏。文章的中心有时也因为篇幅较长而不明确。典例(2019江苏卷,阅读D)The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimers (阿尔兹海默症).He was losing his memory.A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his fami

14、orsening.B.She wanted to please her dying old father.C.His music deserved to be preserved in the family.D.She wanted to make her father a professional.答案C细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Melissa感觉挽救父亲的音乐是值得的,因为其中有她儿时的记忆,这与C项“他的音乐值得在家庭中保存”吻合。66.After hearing Steves playing, Naomi _.A.refused to make a comment on itB.wa

20、略读是一个只见森林不见树木的过程。其目的是了解阅读材料的主题;对文章的结构获得一个整体概念;对各部分的内容有一个粗略的印象;对文章主旨做出判断。略读通常可以通过以下两个步骤来完成。(1)明确文章段落特点。每一篇文章都是由几个段落组成的,而每一个段落都是提纲的一个要点,只要抓住了提纲的要点,就能快速抓住整个段落的意思,迅速地获取阅读信息。(2)抓住主题句。主题句是表达段落中心思想的句子,抓住了主题句,就抓住了段落的中心思想。主题句的位置有三种:段首、段末和段中。2.运用定位词策略,确定题目中的定位词定位词是题目答案信息源位置的标志,它帮助你找到题目在原文所对应的信息。因此,在略读过后,直接读文章
21、的题目及选项,确定定位词,以便快速在文中找到答案。A(2018江苏卷,阅读D)Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth, a major study warned.It found many youngsters (少年) now measure their status by how much public approval they get online, often through “likes”.Some change their behav
