1、高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书在信息时代的今天,人们越来越关注国内外的重要事件和焦点问题,因此英语时文类阅读越来越受到高考命题者的青睐,成为当今高考命题的一大热点和必不可少的题型。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书一、题材特点时文报道有着自己独特的文体特征,通常由标题(Headline)、导语(Lead)和正文(Body)三部分组成。标题概括全文的核心问题;导语位于时文报道的首段,高度概括时文事实;正文则进一步阐述说明事件发生的来龙去脉,并提供一些必要的背景材料或知识。“倒金字塔”(Inverted Pyramid)结构(附图)是时文报道中最常见的一种篇
2、章结构,文章常用倒叙和插叙,插入人物访谈或评论,思维的跳跃性很大。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书而 5 个 W(when,where,who,what,why)和 1 个 H(how)是构成一则完整新闻的基本要素(附图)。了解这些文体特征可以使读者提高阅读效率,在最短时间内把握时文事实,了解事件真相。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书二、解题策略1细读导语,抓住时文主旨根据时文类文章“倒金字塔”的结构特点,可知导语是整篇文章的高度概括,所以文章的第一句话或第一段尤为关键,往往是该时文的精华与灵魂,因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。而这里也常常会是长难句,所以在
3、导语部分要不吝惜时间,弄明白意思,至少要做到基本理解。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书2定位查读,把握时文细节针对时事新闻类阅读理解的细节题,考生首先要善于捕捉时文细节,明确时文最主要的几方面,把握时文的六大要素,即何时、何地、何人、何事、何因及如何(when,where,who,what,why,how)。也可以根据题干的关键词,采用定位、查读的方法搜寻所考查的细节描述,然后与选项进行比较,最后确定答案。某些细节也会用来设计深层的推断题,那么就要注意结合文章的主旨,以及文章中的直接引语,因为这些引语往往表达了某种意见。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书3
4、梳理框架,辨长难句主干在了解文章基本的框架结构之后,要注意始终把重点放在其最主要的内容上,不要被细枝末节以及和主旨不相关的难词、难句所迷惑。不过,检测所涉及的关键句又常常是长句或者含有习语、难词的句子。理解长句要从其最主要的意义入手,也就是明确谁做了什么或者怎么样,而其他的各种插入语、修饰语也就容易理解了,对于较难理解的词句,一定要联系上下文和文章的主旨才能够把握到位,才不至于被各种似是而非的迷惑项所影响。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书4精泛结合,巧用略读扫读从上面讲的可以看出,英语时文中每个段落和每个词句的重要性并不是相等的,阅读时需要精读和泛读的有机结合。首先应泛读全
5、篇,采用跳读或略读技巧选择性地浏览全文,忽略次要信息,以快速了解全文的主旨和框架。其次,通过泛读确定主要内容之后,对主题或支持主旨的重要细节和语句、语段需认真细读精读,深层理解,以获得更详细或解题答题之信息,如特定的事件、地点、时间、人物、原因及如何发生等细节信息,即所谓的 5W1H 时文要素。高考专题辅导与测试英语创 新 方 案 系 列 丛 书考试时利用略读、扫读来迅速找到某一特定信息在短文中的位置,并以这个位置为中心,扩展到上文和下文,寻求正确答案。考生要学会用扫视的方法寻找信息。扫视时,眼睛要纵向而不是横向移动,运用扫视来扩大视觉范围帮助考生又快又准确地捕捉到想要查找的信息。高考专题辅导
