阅读理解,先“读”,后“解”,只有读懂,才能解对。
一、为什么要扩充词汇量
《考试大纲》中英语学科对考生语言知识的要求是:考生掌握并能运用英语语音,词汇,语法基础知识以及所学功能意念和话题,要求词汇量为3500词左右。
那么词汇的学习和掌握与阅读理解有何联系呢?研究表明,词汇量是影响阅读效率的最直接因素。
高考阅读理解长难句增加,这一趋势向我们表明:词汇学习将是重中之重。
这里的单词包括单词,固定短语,习惯用语,俗语,俚语等,这些生词的含义只有在阅读中,即上下文语境中才能完全展现出来,换句话说,是上下文给某个词以特定含义,而这个含义有时是词典无法提供的。
多读是扩大词汇量的好方法,要多阅读不同体裁,不同题材的文章,让备考更高效。
二、怎样扩充词汇量
词汇内容庞杂,不能盲目记忆。
现总结出七种常用记忆词汇的方法,分享如下:
(1)词缀法。
英语词缀分前缀和后缀。
一般来说,前缀只改变词义,不改变词性。
常见前后缀和例词如下:①前缀:anti---,表反抗,Anti-Japanese War 抗日战争、co---,共同,cooperation合作、dis---,相反,discover发现、ex---,以前的,exwife前妻、in---,il---,im---,ir---,不,incorrect不正确,illegal非法、inter---,在…之间,international国际的、mini---,小的,miniskirt迷你裙、over---,过分,overweight超重、pre---,在…之前,preview预习re---,再次,rebuild重建、tele---,远程的,telescope望远镜。
②后缀:-able,构成形容词,possible可能的、-al,构成形容词,environmental有关环境的、-ance,-ence,-ancy,-ency,构成名词,performance 演出、-ee,受动者,employee雇员、-er,使动者,employer老板、-en,构成动词,shorten使变短、-ress,女性,actress女演员、-ful,形容词,grateful感恩的、-hood,状态,childhood童年、-ify,构成动词,beautify美化、-less,没…的,homeless无家可归的、-ous,形容词,dangerous危险的
(2)词根法。
很多单词都有一个共同的词根,比如:globe地球;global全球
的;globalization 全球化;image形象;imagine想象;imagination想象。
(3)一词多用法:①bargain She knows a bargain when she sees one.便宜货The salesman refused to bargain over price.讨价还价。
②content,The content of the textbook is quite beyond the children’s understanding.内容;After a good meal, we were all content.满意的。
③crowd,There
was a big crowd.人群The eager audience crowded into the stadium.涌入。
Don’t crowd the bedroom with too much furniture.放入过多的…④express,I was too excited to express to you how grateful I am.表达。
He left express instructions to keep all doors locked.明确的;Where do I take the express to London?特快列车;⑤mask,A man wearing a mask robbed the store .面具;They tried hard to mask their true intentions.掩蓋。
(4)易错比较法。
①physician内科医生、physicist物理学家、confident有信心的、confidential秘密的、objection反对、objective客观的、worthless 不值钱的、priceless无价的。
②response反应、responsible负责的、respect尊敬、respective各自的、occasion场合、occasional偶尔的。
(5)语境记忆法。
记住了单词在某一语境中的用法,不但可以在遇到此情况时熟练运用此单词,还可以举一反三,将此单词用在相似的语境中,达到活学活用。
语境可以简单地定义为“词,短语,句子等的前后部分,即上下文。
”
(6)阅读记忆法。
《高中英语教学大纲》在谈到阅读时指出,学生应该能以每分钟70-80个词的速度读懂生词率不超过3%的有关人物传记,故事,记叙文,科普小品和有关社会文化,文史知识等不同题材的材料。
对于词汇量,要求除教材外,课外阅读量累计能达到20万词以上。
大纲的要求很明确,大量阅读,深度阅读,反复阅读是提高词汇量的重要手段。
另外,我们在背单词时,要把单词大声读出来。
可以毫不夸张地说,如果你记住了单词的发音,就可以按照读音规则,拼出80%的单词。
这样一举两得,既背过了单词,又练会了发音,也为将来能讲一口流利而纯正的英语打下了良好的基础。
(7)应用加强法。
增加词汇量并和遗忘作斗争是词汇记忆中的一项重要工作。
要创造机会,多多运用记住的单词,增加语音输出。
具体可以通过造句,情景对话,写作文等。
对于单词的学习,不应只限于会说,会用才是关键。
除了阅读和听写等被动重复记忆外,我们应通过听说读写译各种记忆方法,培养学习兴趣,主动创造机会巩固练习。

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.(1)We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed(2)The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height(3)The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute (4)What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personalflying vehicles.【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文为说明文,主要讲述一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实。

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析
(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.I've been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(灵长目动物) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?(1)According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of .A. interactionB. analysisC. creationD. abstraction(2)The research into pigs shows that pigs .A. learn letters quicklyB. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationshipD. can apply knowledge to new situations(3)Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A. the similarities between mammals and humansB. the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in people's attitudes towards animalsD. a discovery of how animals expressthemselves(4)What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了动物也有情感有思想,有一定的分析推理能力。

(英语)英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dogs were living as companions to the early settlers of North America over 10,000 years ago. The oldest domestic dogs in the Americas were thought to be around 9500 years old. Angela Perri of Durham University, UK, and her colleagues have carried out fresh radiocarbon dating on the two dog skeletons that gave this date, discovered in the prehistoric Koster site in Illinois, and found they were even older: around 10,100 years old.A third dog from another Illinois site called Stilwell II was older still, at 10,190 years old. That makes it the oldest known domesticated dog in the Americas. The team concluded that all three dogs were domesticated as they skeletons were complete and unskinned, and so hadn't been butchered for food. They had also been carefully buried, evidence they were valued by their owners. The Stilwell II dog, which probably resembled a small English settler, was under what seemed to be the floor of a living area. It is unclear why it took so long for tame dogs to arrive in the Americas, given that they were domesticated at least 14,000 years ago in Eurasia. By this time, people were already moving into North America from Siberia; there is evidence some reached Chile 18,500 years ago. Geneticists have found signs of at least three waves of migration over the following millennia. There is no evidence that domestic dogs accompanied them. “We don't know if dogs were part of the first waves of immigration to the Americas" says Luc Janssens of Ghent University in Belgium. "It could be so, but no archaeological bones have yet been found." It is "overwhelmingly probable" that some of the early settlers did bring dogs to the Americas, but they may not have had "the time or the spiritual compulsion to bury them", says Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University.(1)How old is the oldest known domestic dog in the Americas7A. About 9500 years.B. About 10,100 years.C. 10,190 years.D. 18,500 years.(2)The underlined word "butchered" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by.A. killedB. boughtC. trainedD. raised(3)What is the attitude towards when tame dogs arrived in the Americas in the last three paragraphs?A. Undoubted.B. Unsure.C. Indifferent.D. Unconfident.(4)What is the main topic of this passage?A. The earliest domestic dog in the Americas.B. The first dog arriving in the Americas.C. How dogs were domesticated in the Americas.D. When the oldest dog was found in the Americas.【答案】(1) C(2)A(3)B(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了大概一万年以前就在北美成为人类伙伴的狗的种类。
