“阅读理解”题主要是考查考生综合运 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )用所学语言知识的能力。很多同学在做题时常常有一种“读得懂做不对”的感觉。那么有必要对阅读理解这种题型及其解题技巧作一些简要的分析。
从近几年安徽的中考阅读理解情况看， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )短文体裁多样，题材各异，文章涉及科学知识、社会文化、政治历史、人文环境和日常生活等方面，充分体现其时代性、实用性。短文难度逐年加大。常见题型有主旨题、细节题、推断题、猜测词义题和判断正误题。
做阅读理解练习应先看问题，弄清考点。在阅读短 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文之前，快速浏览问题，以便在阅读短文时做到心中有数，快速、准确地捕捉所需信息。其次要注意先易后难。做题时不必拘泥于书中所呈现的语篇顺序，应遵循先易后难的原则。如可先做细节题再做推断题，因为细节题大多能直接从文中找到答案，而推断题则需对短文进行深层理解，再作判断。
(一)主旨概括题
主旨题主要考查学生对短文中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )心思想或作者意图的掌握。做此类题时，应通读全文，理解文章大意，充分理解主题句的意义。短文往往围绕主题句展开，主题句通常出现在短文第一句或最后一句。
(二)细节理解题
细节题是用来进一步表达主 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题，体现中心思想的，往往针对短文某个细节来设题。做此类题时，应快速捕捉信息，可能是一些事例、数字等，阅读时要有针对性。
【例1】(2013，温州)
It has been more th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an two thousand years since we began to use an umbrella on rainy days.However，people often felt it not convenient to hold an umbrella while working.Then the rubber raincoat was invented by an Englishman named Macintosh in 1823.
In 1492，Columbus，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )well known Italian voyager，discovered the New World—the Americas.He brought a lot of things to Europe from South America.Rubber was one of them，but people didn't know the use of rubber at that time.In 1770，people found that the rubber could be used as erasers.
Macintosh was a w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orker in an eraser factory in Scotland.One day he spilled (洒出) the rubber liquid over his clothes carelessly when making erasers.He was too busy to clean it and went back home wearing the dirty clothes.On the way home，it rained heavily.Having no umbrella，Macintosh had to run home quickly.When he got home，he took off the wet clothes.To his surprise，the area of the clothes with rubber wasn't wet.“Why not make a rubber raincoat？” Macintosh thought.The next day he brushed the rubber liquid all over a coat.He wore the“rubber coat” on rainy days and took a walk in the field to test if it could really keep off the rain.Surprisingly，the clothes inside the “rubber coat”weren't wet at all.The rubber raincoat was created in this way by chance.
The rubber raincoats ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) soon appeared on the market.However，they were sticky (黏的) in summer and hardened in winter.Year after year，people kept on improving the raincoats.Today raincoats are widely used in our daily life.

解析：细节理解题。由第二段的第二、三 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句“He brought a lot of things...Rubber was one of them...”可知，Columbus把橡胶带到了欧洲。

A．To show his nice “rubber coat”．
B．To sell it to a farmer.

解析：细节理解题。由第三段倒数第三句“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )...took a walk in the field to test if it could really keep off the rain.”可知，他在雨天穿橡胶外套是为了测试它是否真的能够挡雨。

To us，it seems so na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.
Nobody knows who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use：it became a symbol of honor and power (权力)．In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe，the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece，but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages in Europe，the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it became a symbol of power.

It is true th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
