12、答案。理解的正确与否,直接关系到答题的正确性,而首当其冲的是对短文和表格信息的理解。一、对短文的理解技巧对短文的正确理解是做好英语阅读填空的必要前提。它主要包括以下四个方面的理解:(1)快速阅读,抓住中心:快速阅读、抓住文章中心是正确理解短文的关键。一方面,抓住了文章中心就能确保理解的正确性,使对文章的理解不会迷失方向;另一方面,表格的标题就是文章中心的高度浓缩,抓住了文章中心是正确解答标题的前提。那么如何快速抓住文章中心呢?综合分析文章的首尾句。一般说来,文章的首句为文章的主题,而尾句是文章的总结、结论或建议、希望,通过分析首尾句并结合全文内容,快速归纳出文章的中心。注意文章中的信息词。文章
13、的主题句有时不在第一句,而是用连接词but/yet所连接的后面一句或含有副词however/though的句子。利用这些信息词快速找出主题句,归纳出中心。综合分析段首句。有些短文没有主题句,考生必须根据每段的第一句进行归纳总结,结合全文内容得出文章的中心。(2)弄清体裁,理清脉络:作者对不同体裁的文章,用不同的写作方法。但是,不管是用何种方法,写作思路或短文结构基本上是一致的,即“总分总”。阅读填空的短文一般是说明文、议论文或记叙文。对于说明文,作者首先会提出一个说明的对象,然后从不同的角度对其介绍过程、解释原因或说明理由,最后得出结果并提出建议、想法或希望;对于议论文,作者首先可能提出一个观
14、点,接着从不同方面对其进行论证,最后得出结论;对于记叙文,作者首先可能交代整个事件及其人物、事件、地点和结果,然后记述事件所发生的过程,最后记述事件的影响或人们对它的评价。(3)顺藤摸瓜,抓住信息:如果说文章中心是藤的根,那么文章的结构就是藤,信息则是藤的果实。如何在枝繁叶茂的藤上找到藤的果实呢?我们就得顺着藤去摸。读文章也是如此,考生只有根据文章的中心和作者的思路、文章的结构,才能将所需的信息一个一个地找出来。(4)根据语境,理解信息:在文章中,作者决不会随便滥用信息、细节,他所引用的每一个信息、细节都有其目的或作用。因此,考生在读短文时,应该用批判的眼光去考查信息间的相互关系,从而推断出细
15、节的作用、意图,达到对短文的深层理解。二、对表格的理解技巧对试题的正确理解是正确解答英语阅读填空的另一个重要方面。它包括对表格结构的理解及试题设计的理解两个方面。(1)根据表格结构,揣测命题意图:表格结构既是试题的载体,又是命题人对文章理解方式的体现。它是根据一定的线索设计的,一般包括行和列。而行、列又根据文章的对应信息给予小标题。因此考生应该根据试题表格结构的特征,逆推命题人对文章的理解思路,从而揣测命题的目的意图,准确把握信息范围及对文章的理解方向。(2)根据试题设计,弄清问题的要求:表格填空实际上是作者对文章理解思路的再现。表格中给出了部分信息,为考生的作答提供了具体暗示和线索,考生应该利用这一暗示和线索来推断所填写内容的要求。通过对表格中上下左右信息与短文相关信息的比较、推断,然后确定问题的正确答案。
