高考英语必考点专题17阅读理解之推理判断题和主旨大意题(精讲深剖)(含解析)(2019全国I卷B篇)For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he’s, nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley ,is next to him, whisperi ng support.“…Vote for …me …”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.“Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,” Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”本文属于记叙文,讲述Thomas Whaley为了帮助学生学英语以及树立信心专门开展了一个演讲课程。

【操作过程】:慢读→判断词性→根据词性,结合改词性常见错误,怀疑遇到文中的每个单词,迅速判断可根据该类型的常见错误,带着怀疑的眼光去迅速辨别。
比如读到下面的一句话The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. (2014全国卷)。
当读到the你自己就可以自问自答:the是冠词,这里会不会是a?会不会没有冠词;如果发现这种怀疑不对时,继续下一个词fruits,作为名词复数,你自问自答:会不会是单数fruit,会不会是所有格fruit’s;然后继续下个一个词are:会不会是is, 会不会是过去式were......【注意】①这个过程要求两个基本功:必须要对各种错误类型非常熟悉;基本的语法知识要过关。
②一般第一轮改错,就可以改对7到8个错误,甚至更高。
第2步:复查(三看)通过观察自己改出的答案,检查其中有没有明显的失误。
1.看位置看一看自己各个错误的相对位置,如果出现下面情况,需要警惕,可能改错了:①一个短句子中,你改出了两个错误;(一般一个短句子中,只有一个错误)②两个错误挨得非常近。
(比如就隔了一两个单词)2.看类型看一看自己改出的错误类型,如果出现下面情况,需要警惕,至少有一处是改错了:①有两个错误的类型很接近近,甚至是相同;(比如删除了一个the,又添加了一个a)②一篇文章,同一个单词在不同的位置,改出两个错误.(比如第一处的friend,你改成了friends;另外一处的friend,你改成了friendly)3.看删除和添加(∧,\)的个数一般来说,一篇文章中,会出现一个删除∧和一个添加\,如果少了,或者多了需要警惕:可能改错了,或者没有找出来此类错误。

阅读理解之推断题(解析版)推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。
解答该类型题目时一定要从整体上把握语篇内容,在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息之间架起桥梁,透过字里行间,去体会作者的“弦外之音”和“言外之意”。
在进行推断时,要据文推理、合情推理,不可脱离原文主观臆断。
推理判断题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理,推测作者未明确提到的事实或某事件发展的趋势。
推理判断能力是阅读理解能力的重要组成部分,因而也是阅读理解部分重点考查的能力之一。
每年每套题通常会有4~6 题。
一、思维导图推断隐含意义思维导图二、方法点拨(一)推理判断题题干常用词一般来说,推理判断题题干中主要包括下面的词语:know about, learn from, infer, imply, suggest, conclude, purpose, attitude, probably, most likely等。
(二)推理判断题正确选项特征推理判断题中的正确选项是依据文章的事实或证据推断出的符合逻辑的结论或观点,正确选项一般具有以下特征:1.“立足原文,只推一步”,即根据原文内容,一步即可推得。
2.选项中一般不可以出现绝对概念。
如only, never, all, absolutely等,正确答案的表述一般有一点模糊,会用一些相对能够留有一些余地的词汇,如often, usually, sometimes, some, may, might, can, could, possibly, probably等。
(三)推理判断题干扰选项特征1.曲解文意:即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别。
推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话,命题者可能会利用里面的词设计出干扰项,看似表达文章的意思,其实是借题发挥,是对原文意思的曲解。
2.张冠李戴:即把文章中作者的观点与其他人的观点混淆在一起。
题干问的是作者的观点,选项中出现的却是其他人的观点;题干问的是其他人的观点,选项中却出现了作者的观点。
3.偷梁换柱:干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相似的句型结构和单词,却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单词,造成句意的改变。
4.无中生有:这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点,但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。
其次,这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
5.鱼目混珠:鱼目混珠类型的干扰项常出现在词句理解类试题的选项中,即利用某个词或句子的字面含义代替其在文章特定语境中的具体含义。
6.扩缩范围:为了准确、严密地表达文章内容,命题者特别注意对文意范围的限定,有时通过加上almost, all, nearly, more than, normally, usually等词语对文意加以限制。
“扩缩范围”干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语,将信息的范围、程度、感情色彩等改变,从而给考生解题造成干扰的命题方法。
Part4:推断题解题技巧(思维导图+真题演练)例子1We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style. That's bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.…32.What does the author think of new devices?A.They are environment-friendly.B.They are no better than the old.C.They cost more to use at home.D.They go out of style quickly.[解题示范]例子2We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.…32.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.[解题示范]例子3[1]Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.[2]Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.[3]When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.[4]If you have a_juicer,_you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “softserve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. T his makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.27.From which is the text probably taken?A.A biology textbook.B.A health magazine.C.A research paper. D.A travel brochure.[解题示范]Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的)intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills." Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视)on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角)from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotionalintelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.2. Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in paragraph 2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarify a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.3.What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with“intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."1.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A.They're unfair.B.They're conservative.C.They're objective.D.They're strict.2.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel lik e drinks with an old friend.There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time haschanged you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble ( 随笔) about everything an d nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you thathas to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.( )What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He teaches reading.B. He’s an editor.C. He’s very ambitious.D. He loves poetry.Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact ( 接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving ata pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which isapproximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running,which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times theirbody weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does placeconsiderable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. Ittakes some practice.( )W hich word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A.Skeptical.B. Objective.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes ( 基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gaineda mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation — not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people inSoutheast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known,number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coast al waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Rodney C. Jubilado, aUniversity of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.They made a living as divers, spear fishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a po pulation,” said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.( )What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B. Recent findings of human origin.C. New knowledge of human evolution.D. Significance of food selection.In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road tripfrom Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string offoreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. InFerghana, he attends a mountain funeral (葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment andreferences are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.( )What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a book.B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.C. To remember a writer.D. To recommend a travel destination.I n ever knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway,our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in bigblack letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudor a is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,”Mother said.Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only.So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer — in character —“The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.( )Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?A. Quiet.B. Strict.C. Humorous.D. Considerate. ( )Where is the text probably from?A. A guidebook.B. A book review.C. A news report.D. An autobiography.答案:BAAD DBCABD2021年6月新高考I卷(D篇)2推理判断题。
