一、阅读理解解题策略指导
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：
1．读材料的主旨和大意，以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2．既理解具体的事实，也理解抽象的概念。
3．既理解字面的意思，也理解深层次的含义，包括作者的态度，意图等。
4．既理解某句，某段的含义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并据此进行推理和判断。
5．既能根据所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
中考英语阅读理解题主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读能力、理解能力、归纳概括能力、逻辑推理能力以及对材料的评价能力等。
　　试题中所选的阅读文章题材多样化，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史地理、科学技术等各个方面。(这要求学生平时对各方面的知识都有所积累，做个有心人)体裁多样化，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格(要求学生能看懂这类阅读材料尤其是时下出题的趋势)等各种文体。它要求考生阅读理解准确度高、阅读速度快。
　　大致来说，主要针对如下方面：1.文章的个别词或句子，可以给出生词让学生猜意，对此类题目学生应尽量在阅读材料中找定义或解释；2.文章的某细节或情节；3.文章的主题；4.文章的背景知识；5.文章的结论或结局；6.文章内涵的隐义或寓意等。主要是考查考生综合运用所学语言知识的能力，包括阅读、理解、归纳概括、逻辑推理以及对材料的评估能力等。
　　
具体来讲主要有以下几种题型：
　　具体信息：这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案。
　　语义理解：题目要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释。解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。
　　逻辑推理：这种题目有一定难度，往往不能直接从文中找到答案，而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的意图、态度等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理，才能获得正确答案。
归纳概括：要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文章中内隐的信息。
词意判断：要求根据上下文判断短文中词或短语的意思。
在阅读过程中要重视培养自我阅读能力，根据不同的阅读目的和要求，采取不同的阅读方法和策略。
提高阅读能力所常用的阅读技巧主要有细读、略读、全读等。
扫读：是一种快速阅读方法，主要在于对文章信息的精确定位，锁定重要信息，如找出人物、时间、地点、数字等。
略读：也是一种快速阅读，目的是读取文章的主旨大意。与扫读不同的是，略读是跳跃式的，略掉一些东西不读，取出短文中的关键性东西。
细读：细读是完全阅读，目的包括（1）确定中心思想及标题；（2）了解用以阐述中心思想的事实及细节；（3）对作者的暗示或隐含思想进行判断、推理、引申；（4）根据上下文推测词义。
扩大视距：要以意群为单位，注重对整句话的理解，扩大注视空间。
带问题阅读：先浏览短文后面的题目，做到心中有数，带着目的去阅读，以提高阅读实效。
根据上下文猜测词意：遇到生词，要根据上下文线索和暗示、上下文的联系、常识和经验推断或猜测词意。

On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.

February 14th, Valentine’s Day, is a complicated but interesting occasion. First of all, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married, or to your boy friend or girl friend if you’re not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.
Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day?
One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like“Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.
1. People go to school to _________.
A. learn several subjects B. make a living
C. get an education D. learn from teachers
2. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _________.
A. to teacher his students everything he knows
B. to know everything
C. to teach the students how to think
D. to teach the students how to study by themselves
3. To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.
A. only a certain formula B. more than one formula
C. some facts D. the method to solve it
4. Why were many scientists so successful?
A. They received good education.
B. They were very clever.
C. They knew how to learn.
D. They learned lots of facts and formulas.
5. How did great scientists study?

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied them. It often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in china, but it is not in the West at all. In the US it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on him accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say “No, thanks”. When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks, I’ll take some Diet. Pepsy–cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the US, you had better remember the famous saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
1. From the passage, we know that the Chinese are usually _______ to the guests.
A. eager to give all they have B. polite
C. impolite D. cold
2. When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _________.
A. pleasant B. uncomfortable C. satisfied D. happy
3. Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party? Because _______.
A. he has had enough B. he is shy
C. he is afraid that others will laugh at him D. he thinks it’s polite to do that
4. When an American wants something to eat or drink at dinner, he will _________.
A. go and take it himself B. refuse the hosts offer
C. ask for it directly D. ask another to fetch it for him
5. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Means ________.
A. when you get to Rome, you should act as the Romans do
B. when you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do
C. when you are in a new country, you should do as the natives do
D. Romans can be example for you

When we can see well, we don’t think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colours become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you can see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
1. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ___.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
2. According to the passage, a _________ is more likely to be nearsighted than the average person.
A. tailor B. doctor C. guard D. driver
3. Those who suffer from cataracts _________.
A. will become blind B. can’t be cured
C. may be cured D. must move to other places
4. People who are farsighted _________.
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
5. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _________.
A. with wide open eyes B. with half-shut or narrow eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction

A 12-man Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap(南极冰盖最高点) peak on January 18. They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A (海穹A). It is 4,039 meters above sea level (海拔). The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, get ice samples (标本) from 150 meters to 200 meters below, and do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter long ice samples from a place about 300 meters under the icecap peak. 　　It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctica and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area(地区). 　　The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system (系统) at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather. 　　The Antarctic icecap makes up 70% of the earth's freshwater (淡水). By studying Dome A, scientists can get the lowest temperature of the earth and other information about the world's weather changes. We can't get this information from other places on the earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of studies. So it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A. 1.
