阅读理解、完形填空九大技巧及强化训练

2009高考英语阅读理解、完形填空九大技巧及强化训练
1.先通读，后细读
阅读一篇文章，最好采用先通读、再细读的策略。首先要快速浏览全文，这一点非常重要。因为一篇文章是一个整体，是围绕一个中心思想组织的。如果我们了解了文章大体讲的是什么，有了整个篇章的结构模式，就有利于我们理顺句子或段落间的关系，准确地把握文章的主旨，同时也有利于我们在解题过程中有重点地细读部分内容。
一篇文章无论长短，要做到一口气读下来。对于生词，只要不妨碍我们理解主要内容，可暂时放下不管。如果我们读读停停，左顾右盼，往往会把文章完整的体系读破了，有碍于对文章整体的理解。在掌握了文章的大体内容后，我们再根据需要解答的问题逐句细读，认真分析词义及句子结构，从而更准确地把握文章的具体内容。
Passage A
阅读理解
An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining (解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(电冰箱).①
Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise.② There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my nextdoor neighbor's house!

If you know me well, you know I don't like birthday parties. At least, I don't like birthday parties given for me.① I enjoy them when theyre for other people, but when theyre for me, I just don't like them.
I remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when I was a student at the university. Of course, I had told my best friend Henry that I didn't want a party and I made him promise he wouldn't do anything. He agreed. I should have known better than to believe him.②
On the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, I don't know, three or half past three. We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain (浴帘), a kind of strange female(女) voice started singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”
And then from all over the room, people joined in. There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room.

Passage C
阅读理解
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends.① They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliabilit

y (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.②
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.③ We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

3. D. 结合后面的内容可知，“我”每天去听小姑娘拉小提琴。

5. A. 叶子是在风中飘动。
6. B. 现在分词用作伴随状语。
7. C. 秋天本是收获的季节，但是此处“我”却独自一人漫步在落叶之上，与下文的生活的无趣相对应。
8. C. 短语 get sb. down 意为“使人泄气； 使人疲倦”。
9. A. 琴声像山涧溪流一样，流进(flow into)“我”的耳畔。
10. A. 短语be lost in (doing) sth. “陷入……之中”。此处指小姑娘正在聚精会神地拉小提琴。
11. B. 结合上下文可知，“我”以前与小姑娘素不相识。
12. C. “我”沉浸在优美的琴声中，不自觉地在风中伫立。
13. C. 从下文可知，“我”并不是听到琴声才下楼，而是因为两人心有灵犀，每次几乎是在小姑娘拉琴的同时，“我”也到了楼下。因此这里应用when。
14. A.

15. D. 从整个句意来看，这里是一个让步状语从句。though表“尽管”，合乎文意。

1.When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house...当我问他找房子是否有困难时…… (Line 14, Passage A)
have difficulty (in) doing sth. 意为“在做某事方面有困难”，也可以说：have trouble (in) doing sth. 如：
I have some difficulty understanding him. 我理解他有些困难。
Did you have any trouble in finding his house? 你找到他家有困难吗？
英语中还有have difficulty with sth. 和have trouble with sth. 如：
I dont have much difficulty with English grammar.
我学英语语法并没有太多的困难。
I hope you won't have any trouble with the work.
我希望你应付这工作没有困难。
2.The girl smiled, and so did I. 小姑娘笑了，我也笑了。(Line 29, Passage D)
“So + be(have，助动词或情态动词)+ (另一)主语 ”用于表示某人与前者具有相同的肯定情况，意为“某人也一样”。如：
I like dogs; so does he. 我喜欢狗，他也如此。
He can speak good English and so can she. 他能说一口好英语，她也能。
如果对前面所说的内容加以肯定，那就不倒装。如：
—Jack won the first prize in the contest. 杰克在比赛中获一等奖。
—So he did. 确实如此。
2.略读
略读(skimming)是利用较短的时间粗略地阅读全文的阅读策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的写作意图。这是一种高效的、有选择性的、有针对性的阅读技巧。掌握略读这一技巧的关键就在于学会在阅读过程中区别文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝节部分。一些次要信息要大胆略去不读，迅速找出topic sentence，即找出概括全段大意的句子。
在运用这一方法阅读文章时，要特别注意：①文章的标题；②文章的首句或引导性段落；③文章尾部的结论性词语；④反映段落中心思想的主题句。如果我们找到了每段的主题句，再将这些主题句集中在一起，就差不多能够把握住全文的中心内容了。

If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”
These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments (实验) to test the learnwhileyousleep method (方法), which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.
Scientists say that this sleepstudy method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleepteaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.①
In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary (词汇) were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on.② At 5 oclock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson aga

in for three hours before breakfast.

1. By the learnwhileyousleep method, one____ .
A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep
B. learns how to sleep better
C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep
D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed
2. In the experiment, lessons were given____ .

A. get up and take breakfast

3.查读
查读(scanning)，也称为扫描式阅读，是指用较短的时间快速扫视文章，查找具体信息或相关事实与细节的阅读技巧。查读有一定的目的性，是带着问题寻找答案的阅读方法，在考试中具有很高的实用价值。
运用查读方法时，我们首先要了解需要回答何种问题。我们可先在问题中找出二至三个关键词语，用作答案的指示牌。然后到文章中迅速扫描，以确定答案可能所在的区域，最后将文章中与之匹配的部分标出，确定正确答案。
在查读过程中，我们可以一目十行地快速扫描整篇文章，也可用手指或钢笔从左至右或逐行快速移动，同时眼睛要紧随其移动，查看所要寻找的具体内容，对那些与想要查找的信息无关的内容可一带而过甚至不必阅读。

Last year I went to Nepal (尼泊尔) for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few

days holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle (丛林) and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes.① In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. It grabbed (咬住) Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I succeeded (成功) in pulling Kamal away.② One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help a country's economy (经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects(影响)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wellbeing of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy will suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs.① Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a fivestar tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilit

ies (支撑设施) as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water② . All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?
A. It is very important to develop tourism.
B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.
C. Support facilities are highly important.
D. Planning is very important to tourism.
2. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____.
A. a bad effect on other industries
B. a change of tourists customs
C. overcrowdedness of places of interest
D. pressure (压力) on traffic
3.Not enough tourism can lead to ____.
A. an increase of unemployment (失业) B. a decrease(减退)in tourist attractions
C. the higher cost of support facilities D. a rise in price and a fall in pay

1. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. 早上六点钟我们开始了旅途，两头大象驮着我们的设备。(Line 8, Passage A)
trip 是非正式用语，强调一次往返的短途旅程。journey 则比较正式，常指时间和距离都较长的陆路旅行，不一定最终要回到出发地。而travel 则泛指旅行、游历，尤指国外旅行，但无路程之义。 如：
Mother took me downtown on a shopping trip. 妈妈带我进城买东西了。
We made a journey to the Northeast of China. 我们在中国的东北做了一次旅行。
He has just returned from his travels. 他旅行刚回来。
2. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is. 金钱的价值并不重要，重要的是它(业余爱好)给我们带来的快乐。(Last line, Passage B)
not...but... 意为“不是……而是……” 连接两个并列的成分，表示意思上的转折。如：
He went not to help his father but to borrow money from him. 他并不是去帮他父亲忙而是去向他父亲借钱。
注意：当not...but...连接两主语时，谓语动词要与紧靠它的主语在人称和数上一致。如：
Not he but I am a doctor. 不是他而是我是一名医生。
Not the teacher but the students are going there. 不是老师而是学生们将去那里。
　4.默读
专家认为，做阅读理解不应该是读，而应该是看。默读有利于发展阅读者的内部语言，有利于强化理解，有利于提高阅读速度。测试表明，我们朗读时，一分钟能念125个字就已很不错了，而默读时，每分钟可读150个字以上，有人阅读小说时甚至可达每分钟600字。
默读时一定要做到如下三点：①全神贯注。这是有效阅读最需要的心理素质。②积极思维。默读有利于思维活动的开展，有利于深层理解。③减少回视。回视率高不仅限制了速度，也会对内容的理解产生支离破碎的影响。
培养默读习惯最好的方法是扩大视幅快读，让你的嘴跟不上你的阅读速度；我们

也可用手指压在嘴上或按住喉部，这样就会逐渐改掉嘴唇抖动的坏习惯。

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.① At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle (口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.② A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didnt stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.③ Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”

Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people

come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from highrise flats.① Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.
Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as ricecookers which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.②
But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. Accidents take place ____.
