2015版学科网3年高考2年模拟1年原创精品系列专题18人物故事、人物传记类阅读【2016年高考命题预测】预测一高考阅读理解所选材料通常都是国外网站上的地道的英语文章,然后经过命题专家整合、改编而成。文章主要介绍国内外的文化风俗、历史名胜、人文地理、著名人物等。预测二文章的篇幅较短,词数多为280~330,兼顾多种体裁,通常有记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等,要求考生充分利用所给信息,回答文章提出的学*科*网问题。通常文章难度不大,关键是考查考生高效处理信息的能力,还要求考生对文章有更深层次的理解。但是题目并不容易,很容易出错。全国卷的命题逐渐向地方自主命题卷,尤其是新课标地区的试卷看齐,不断增加词汇量和文章长度,向新课标过渡。预测三题目设置灵活多样,通常以细节理解题为主,推理判断题为辅,兼顾猜测词义、句意题及目的意图题和主旨大意题。这种命题特点要求考生更好地了解文章中学*科*网的有用信息,提高阅读速度。【学科网考点定位】2016考纲解读和近几年考点分布人物传记主要向读者介绍科学家、文学家、思想家、政治家、企业家和影视、体育明星等杰出人物在各自领域所取得的重大成就,尤其注重介绍这些杰出人物如何克服身体残缺、自然环境和社会环境所造成的各种困难。为人类做出巨大贡献,也为自己的事业谱写精彩篇章。这些杰出人物不仅推动了社会的进步,而且他们对事业的追求、对人民的厚爱成为时代最重要的精神财富。通过阅读人物的小传记或摘录该人物一些典型事件,如人生的起伏、克服困难取得成功等,考生可以得到激励学*科*网或受到启发,同时也可以了解这些人物所生活的社会文化背景。名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215
故事类阅读理解选材来源于日常生活,给人以似曾相识的感觉。体裁一般是记叙文,包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。写作手法多采用时间、空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终。命题以细节为主,推理为辅。应特别注意对人物的外貌、语言、动作和思想的描写,从而把握人物性格特点和作者的情感态度。若是叙述性的文章,要读懂起因、经过、结果。若是故事性文章学*科*网应渎懂故事的发生、发展、高潮、结局。1.熟悉人物介绍文特点人物传记是高考英语阅读理解题重要题材,它主要向读者介绍科学家、文学家、思想家、政治家和企业家等杰出人物在各行各业所取得的重大成就,并特别着重介绍这些杰出人物如何克服自身身体残缺或自然环境和社会环境所造成的各种困难,用强烈的事业心和责任感、用汗水和泪水、用鲜血和青春为人类做出巨大贡献,为生命谱写精彩乐章。当然这些杰出人物留给社会的不仅仅是和平发展和经济效益,更重要的是,他们对事业的追求和对人民的厚爱成为我们这个时代最重要的精神财富。2.熟悉人物介绍文命题规律(1)人物时段介绍判断题这种试题往往以Whatisthearticlemainlyabout?Whatlifepartoftheheroismentionedinthetext?为设问方式考查对人物时段介绍的判断。因为人物传记往往介绍杰出人物一生学习、工作和生活情况,因此这种试题往往以Thelifeofthehero.或Thewholelifeoftheheroismentionedinourtext.为答案。这种试题也可转换形式,以Howoldistheheronow?Howoldwastheherowhenhedied?Howmanyyearsdidhelive?为设问方式。因为人物传记往往要从人物出生介绍到现在/人物死亡,因此推算这些试题答案时,应仔细分析思考人物的起止年龄。(2)童年生活质量判断题人物传记常出现Whatdoweknowabouthischildhood?之类的试题。杰出人物为什么有超强的毅力和惊人的吃苦精神?因为他们从小身处逆境饱尝生活艰辛,从此发奋努学*科*网力,全力实现心中理想,因此这种试题答案多为:Helivedahardlife.或Hehadanunhappychildhood.或Hedidn抰liveashappyastheotherchildren.(3)人物简历正确顺序判断题人物传记的最大特点就是记叙人物一生的经历,因此人物简历正确顺序判断题是常考试题,这种试题往往从人物全部活动中挑选4~6个重要活动并打乱其顺序,要求学生重新排序,并选择相应正确答案。解题时应先阅读试题中所列4~6个重大事件,力争对事件有一定印象,然后回到原文中重新阅读原文,并从事件的发生、发展、高潮及事件发生的前因后果等角度仔细排列事件发生的前后顺序。解题时切忌使用一一代入法,因为这么做看似可行,其实费时又费力,而且这么做难度加大,极易产焦虑心理,陷入恶性循环。(4)人物名言理解判断题名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215
杰出人物经过长期默默无闻的努力终获成功后,一定会引起人们强烈关注,因此媒体采访其先进事迹并加以褒扬和宣传是理所当然的事。而最成功的人往往又是最谦虚的人,尤其是杰出人物平凡甚至卑微的出生让他们觉得自己的成功算不上什么,不值得大竖特竖,因此这些杰出人物谦虚的语言往往成为新闻媒体更为关注的内容,这也成了杰出人物最能打动人们的地方。因此人物传记阅读理解常出现人物名言理解判断题。这些试题往往以“…”means_________.为设问方式考查对人物名言的学@科@网正确理解。其答案往往为Iamordinary或I抦nothing.或I抦justso-so等。(5)人物成功原因判断题杰出人物的成功为社会创造了巨大的精神财富和物质财富,人们不禁会探究其成功秘诀,使之转化为新的生产力,因此人物传记阅读理解常出现人物成功原因判断题。这些试题往往以Whydidtheherofinallysucceed?或Whatisthesecretofthehero抯success?或Whatcanwelearnfromthehero抯success?为设问方式考查对人物成功因素的判断。其答案往往为“He/Sheisnoteasytobowbeforedifficulties.或He/Shenevergivesintoallkindsofhardships.或He/Shenevergivesup/losesheartinfaceoffailure.或He/Shehasstrongperseverance.或He/Shehasstrongself-belief等。”(6)人物性格判断题人们常所说有成就的人往往是有个性的人,可以说正是杰出人物的独特个性铸就了他的成功,因此探究人物个性也成了人物传记阅读理解重要题型,不过这种试题与人物成功原因判断题有异曲同工之处,其回答也大同小异,这里不再赘述。(7)人物重要成果判断题所有人物介绍文均会介绍杰出人物重要成果,因此常出现人物重要成果判断题,这种试题常以Whatwastheuseof...?...wouldsolve....为设问方式,解题时应认真阅读原文对人物重要成果的介绍及其主要作用和现实意义,从而准确解答试题。(8)人物困难判断题杰出人物的成功不是一帆风顺的,都会出现重大困难,因此人物介绍文常出现人物困难判断题,这种试题常以Whatwasthebiggestdifficultythat...faced?...failedtocontinuehisresearchworkbecause...,解题时应认真阅读原文对人物困难的描绘,将所遇困难进行排列,并弄清其最大困难是什么,以便准确做题。(9)人物地位判断题杰出人物可能逝世多年,但人们是不会忘记他们的,人们是会公平评价他们的历史地位的,因此人物介绍文常出现人物地位判断题,这种试题常以Fromthepassage,wecaninferthat....或Accordingtothe名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215
passage,...was...为设问方式,解题时应认真阅读原文对人物重大贡献及社会影响进行介绍的内容,从而准确解答试题。阅读这类文章,应特别注意对任务的外貌、语言、动作、思想的描写,进而把握人物性格特点和作者的情感态度。命题以细节为主,推理为辅。那么怎样准备理解细节呢?首先,从问题中找到关键词,然后以此为线索,运用略读和查阅的技巧在文中寻找细节,找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读,迅速比较选项和文中细节的区别。若是叙述性的文章,要读懂起因、经过、结果。若是故事性文章应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮、结局。它们是我们读懂故事所必需的。若是幽默故事,应体会风趣的对话、特别的动作,它们是幽默的精髓。【考点pk】名师考点透析考点一、细节事实理解。一篇文章必然是由许多具体的细节、具体的内容构成的,所有这些信息以某种顺序(时间、空间、情感变化等)排列起来,来进一步解释或阐释主题,体现文章的主旨大意。细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力,属于表层理解题学@科@网范畴,难度较小,但在整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大,细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问,也常使用下列方式来提问1.Whichofthefollowingstatementsis(not)true/correct?2.Whichofthefollowingisnotmentioned?3.Allofthefollowingaretrueexcept...4.Accordingtothepassage,when/where/why/how/how/what/which,etc...?1.直接事实题在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息,采用针对性方法进行阅读,因为这类题的答案在文章中可以直接找到。如:AgiantdamwasbuiltmanyyearsagotocontroltheColoradoRiverintheU.S.Thisdamwasbuilttoprotectthelandandhousesaroundtheriver.ThishugedamisintheBlackCanyon.Itispossibletodriveacarfromonesideoftherivertotheotheronaroad,whichisonthetopofthedam.Thisdamissobigthatthereisanelevatorinside.Theelevatorgoesdownforty-fourstoriesfromtheroadtothebottom.ThereisenoughconcreteinthisdamtobuildahighwayfromNewYorktoSanFrancisco.Thousandsofpeopleworkedonthisdamforfiveyears.ThishugedamwascalledBoulderDamwhenitwasfinishedin1936.LateritwasrenamedHooverDamin名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215

这类题目要求学生就文章提供的数据,以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推断。在做此类题时:1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息,那些属于干扰信息。3.不要孤立看待数字信息,而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。考点二、主题理解或写作意图推断。一、主旨阅读理解题考查的内容1.短文的标题(title,headline);2.短文或段落的主题(subject);3.中心思想(mainidea);4.作者的写作目的(purpose)。二、此类题的设问方式1.Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?2.Whatdoesthesecondparagraphmainlydiscuss?3.Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?4.Themainpurposeofannouncingtheaboveeventsis__________.考点三、推理推断。推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力,属于深层理解题。此类题的设问常常包括infer,imply,suggest,conclude等词,这类题的设问方式主要有:1.WecaninferfromthePassagethat__________.2.WhatcanbeinferredfromthePassage?3.WhichofthefollowingcanbeinferredfromthePassage?4.ItcanbeinferredfromParagraph3that__________.5.Theauthorsuggestsinthisparagraphthat__________.6.Thewriterimpliesthat__________.7.Itcanbeinferredthat__________.8.ItcanbeconcludedfromthePassagethat__________.名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215

4.Theword“...”isclosestinmeaningto...猜词是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中常用的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”,通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义。1.定义法。如:Annealingisawayofmakingmetalsofterbyheatingitandthenlettingitcoolveryslowly.句子给予annealing以明确的定义,即“退火”。Itwillbeveryhardbutalsoverybrittle—thatis,itwillbreakeasily.从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是“脆”的意思。Theherdsman,wholooksaftersheep,earnsabout650yuanayear.定语从句中looksaftersheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。2.同位法。如:Theytraveledalongwayandatlastgottoacastle,alargebuildinginoldtimes.同位语部分alargebuildinginoldtimes给出了castle的确切词义,即“城堡”。Weareonthenightshift—frommidnightto8a.m.—thisweek.两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明nightshift是“夜班”的意思。3.对比法。如:Sheisusuallypromptforallherclass,buttodayshearrivedinthemiddleofherfirstclass.but一词表转折,因此but前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是“她今天第一节上了一半才来”,因此反向推理,可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。4.构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)。如:Perhaps,wecanseesomepossibilitiesfornextfiftyyears.Butthenexthundred?possibility是possible的同根名词,据此可以判断定possibility意思是“可能性”。5.因果法。如:Thelackofmovementcausedthemusclestoweaken.Sometimestheweaknesswaspermanent.Sotheplayercouldneverplaythesportagain.从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中,可以推测permanent的意思为“永远的,永久”。【三年高考】13、14、15高考试题及其解析名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215

【名师点睛】本文考查记叙文,讲的是“小孩在山里迷路,求生的过程”,做好一篇记叙文,要交代清楚人物和事件,就必须交代清楚记叙的要素,即:时间、地点、人物、事件的原因、经过和结果。弄清记叙文中的人称代词指代的对象,有利于更好地理解文意。线索是记叙文的纲,抓住线索,就能理顺文章内容,掌握文章结构,更好地理解文章的中心思想。记叙文以叙事为主,但有时也运用描写、说明和议论。尤其是要注意夹叙夹议类文章,它的题目往往设计为推理性和总结性题目。文中题目往往在文中能找到出处,把握好文中具体细节即可。3.【2015·广东】APeterlovedtoshopusedarticles.Almostamonthago,heboughtpopularwordgamethatusedlittlepiecesofwoodwithdifferentlettersonthem.Ashewaspurchasingit,thesalesgirlsaid,“Uh,look,thegameboxhaven’tevenbeenopenedyet.Thatmightbeworthsomemoney.”Peterexaminedthebox,and,sureenough,itwascompletelycoveredinfactory-sealedplastic.Andhesawadateof1973onthebackofthebox.“Youshouldputthatupforauction(拍卖)ontheInternet,andseewhathappens.”thesalesgirlsaid.“Yes,you’reright.Peoplelikesomethingrare.”Peteragreed,“Ican’timaginetherebeingverymanyunopenedboxesofthisgamestillaround40yearslater.”“Don’tforgettotellmeifyousellit.”thesalesgirlsmiled.“Noproblem.”Petersaid.Afterhegothome,Peterwentonlinetoseveralauctionwebsiteslookingforhisgame.Buthecouldn’tfindit.ThenhetypedinthenameofthewordgameandhitSearch.Thesearchresultwas543websitescontaininginformationaboutthechangesofthegame.Overtheyears,thegamehadbeenproducedusinglettersindifferentsizesandgameboardsindifferentcolors.Healsofoundsomelistsofgamefanslookingforvariousversionsofthegame.Peteremailedsomeofthem,tellingthemwhathehad.Twoweekslater,Peterwentbacktotheshop.“Hello.Doyoustillremembertheunopenedwordgame?”Thesalesgirllookedathimforasecond,thenrecognizedhimandsaid,“Oh,hi!”“I’vegotsomethingforyou,”Petersaid.“Isoldthegameandmade$1,000.Thankyouforyoursuggestion.”Hehandedherthree$100bills.“Wow!”thesalesgirlcriedout.“Thankyou,Ineverexpectedit.”26.WhichofthefollowingbestdescribesPeter’swordgame?A.Itwasmadearound40yearsago.B.Ithadgameboardsindifferentsizes.名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215

Nerdorf说,他想去帮助那些拯救我们的生命,每一天都让我们安全的那些人,他的妈妈补充说,正是这些事情使我感觉到下一代人的世界正在朝一个正确的方法发展。所以从我些表达上我们知道,他们认为这么做是有意义的,是值得的。故答案为C。ANeidorf从这个组织中受益是错误的,这个组织是一个医学组织,他并没有进行医疗方面的事情。B他害怕被烧伤的脸,文中并未说明。他不知道如何去花这些钱,文中并未反映,更不符合常理,故是错误的。4.B段落理解题。文章的倒数第二自然段大意是:RonKatz是这家医院的一名董事,是在2006年看了有关AaronMankin这个人的一个电视节目之后开始的OperationMend这个项目的。AaronMankin是一个在伊拉克战争中脸完全被烧毁经历了数十次手术的老兵。本自然介绍了这个项目的起因,文章的最后一自然段是说,AaronMankin是他们接受的第一位病人,在2007年经历了二十多次手术,在帮助AaronMankin的过程中,RonKatz意识到建立这样一个项目的必要性。妻子和我都意识到,还有很多和AaronMankin一样的老兵值得我们为他们提供最大的帮助。故答案是B。【考点】考查社会生活类文章的阅读理解。【2014届山西长治二中第二次练考】AMyparentsalwaysraisedmetohavestrongvaluesandholdfirmtomyconfidenceinlife,andthiswasnevermoreprovedthanwhenasituationarosewhenitwouldbeeasyformostpeopletoignoreit.Agentlemanatmyfather’sworksmelledawfulandneglectedhisbehavior,andasthemonthswentby,heshowedsignsofconfusion.Afterbeingtoldtopickuppapersatanotherbuilding,hewouldbefoundsittingathisdeskstaringathisshoes;afterbeingreminded(towhichhewouldcompletelybelievehehadn’tbeentoldthefirsttime),hewouldbefoundonceagainsittingathisdeskinthesameposition.Thishappenedtoworseningdegrees名师解读,权威剖析,独家奉献,打造不一样的高考!215
