14、能全面地、深层次地考查考生的阅读理解能力。解题技巧把脉络看结构篇章结构题主要是针对文章的整体篇章结构或某一段落的展开层次所设置的问题。高考对文章结构的考查主要涉及两个层次:一是按段落的组织方法理解文章的结构;二是按写作手法(论证方法)理解文章的结构。设问形式常有:(1)Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?(2)Which of the following shows the organization/structure of the(whole)passage?因此这类题的解题方法也分为两种
15、:注意:1文章的段落组织通常采用“总分;分总;总分总”的框架。2内容的展开则常用以下手法:(1)时间顺序:按时间先后顺序说明某一事物的发展情况。(2)空间顺序:按照事物的空间结构顺序进行描写或说明。(3)例证关系:所列举的事物用来论证观点,通常是数据、事例等。(4)对比或类比关系:这类文章通常以对比各事物之间的共同点或差异为主。典例 Careers in zoology are extremely varied and unique,and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to
