31、息；作出简单判断和推理；理解文章的基本逻辑结构；理解作者的意图和态度。其具体要求为：(1)能够读懂生词率不超过3%的短文；(2)把握短文的主要线索；(3)能够对短文内容作出简单以及抽象的判断；(4)理解短文的基本结构，了解重点段落、重点词句的含义，推测作者意图，把握文章脉络；(5)熟悉掌握实用性的文章，如：书刊、影视、产品等方面的广告、说明、通知、社评、旅游等。命题分析2011年广东高考的阅读理解题呈现出以下特点： (1)体裁多样，选材新颖，话题广泛。体裁的多样化是最显著的特点，涉及记叙文、说明文、和议论文。 (2)语言地道，题型合理。材料都是选取原汁原味的英语文章，所选的材料均来源于实际生活
32、，涉及的内容也是实际生活内容，强调语篇选材的真实性。在题型设计上，包括细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题和词义猜测题等几大题型。应试点睛一、掌握策略，战无不胜阅读理解无论从难度还是从分数所占比重都应该受到学生的重视，但很多同学在做阅读理解时总是感觉时间不够用，其实只要灵活处理好以下几个方面的关系，这个问题便可迎刃而解。1正确处理好“快”与“准”关系在准确把握文章整体、细节以及严密推理的基础上，尽量提高阅读速度，而不是单纯地追求阅读速度。这样对文章的理解就会非常清晰，哪些题目是自己有把握的，哪些是拿不准的心里也就有了底。然后对自己拿不准的题目再仔细推敲，力争有所突破。2正确处理好复杂句式、生词和
33、选择答案的关系高考阅读的长句、难句的数量逐年增多。结构复杂、修饰语叠缀、信息容量大的句子在新课标的高考试卷中频频出现，有时一个句子占几行甚至一个自然段。这就造成了理解的困难，而且也增加了考生的心理压力。为此，建议大家对这些拦路虎加以正确区分对待：与题目无关，不影响理解文章大意的，就不必浪费时间和精力；相反，那些和题目相关的长难句，我们就要首先分析其类型(是带有较多成分的简单句，还是含有多个简单句的并列句，还是含有多个从句的复合句，还是含有多个插入成分的句子)，然后理清句子成分，去除干扰成分，抓住句子主干，这样就能准确把握句子的意义。对待生词也应该采取同样的方法，首先看看生词是否与题目、文章的大
34、意有关，如果是题目要求所必需的，我们就要弄清楚生词所处的语境，以及和下文的联系，推测生词的含义，否则就忽略它。3正确处理好所需信息与剩余信息的关系我们在做题时，没有必要把每一句都弄得清清楚楚，只要重点理解与题目有关的信息就可以了。这就要求考生在答题时，最好先大体浏览一下文后的题目，确定主攻方向，然后带着问题阅读文章，特别要关注首尾段和首尾句，把握文章的主题和脉络，摘取有用的材料，舍弃无关的信息。然后针对测试题的要求，细心阅读与问题有关的段落、句子或词汇。4所选有据，忠实原文，避免主观做题时，我们必须以作者的思维模式为准绳，以原文提供的事实、细节和逻辑关系为自己思维活动的基准点，切忌把自己的观点
35、和看法当作原文或作者的观点。同时，符合原文的答案是正确答案但不一定就是最佳答案，阅读题要求选的是最佳答案，有的答案从某个枝节来看是对的，但从全文来看则不是最佳的，因此，必须通盘考虑，取主要，舍枝节。 二、明确步骤，战无不胜第一步，阅读题干，明确问题。在阅读文章之前，可以通过题干对文章进行初步了解。这样，在下一步阅读时就可以针对问题直接找答案，减少了盲目性。第二步，快速掌握大意，不在细节上纠缠。在第一步的基础上迅速阅读并对文章有大致的了解。这是选出正确答案的前提。第三步，阅读问题题干及其选项，在文中寻找相关的材料并预选答案。可在文中相应处做出标记，以便进一步了解并最终确定答案。第四步，带着问题略
36、读原文，确定答案。答完所有题目后，再快速阅读一遍文章，检查各题所选答案是否正确。查看各题答案是否前后照应，与原文有无矛盾，文中是否有疏漏的重要线索。三、知己知彼，减少失误有时候四个选项中总有一个极易误选，很多同学感触颇深，因此，了解阅读理解题中干扰项的特点，可以大大减少我们不必要的失误。概括起来，干扰项可分为以下三种类型：1与原文矛盾。即选项与文章内容相矛盾。这种选项的干扰性较小，只要仔细阅读就可排除。2无中生有。即选项与文章内容不矛盾，但在文中没有相关信息支持，没有根据。这类选项的干扰较大。在做此类题时，切忌把自己或他人观点作为选择依据。3答非所问。选题与题目关系不大，选项没有针对题目来阐述
37、。这类题目干扰性也较大。同学们在做此类题时，不仅要判断选项内容的正确性，还应注意选项是否针对题目。【浙江省2014高考英语模拟冲刺卷】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。Top Four Ways to Build a Wonderful Life1.
