3年高考2年模拟1年原创专题18阅读理解——人物故事、人物传记类(教师版)【考点定位】2014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。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。若是故事性文章应渎懂故事的发生、发展、高潮、结局。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更多资料关注@高中学习资料库微信:gzxxzlk
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。(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Accordingtothepassage,...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】名师考点透析更多资料关注@高中学习资料库微信:gzxxzlk
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。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.LateritwasrenamedHooverDaminhonorofapresidentoftheUnitedStates.HooverDam,oneofthehighestdamsintheworld,issituatedbetweenthestatesofArizonaandNevada.Q:HooverDamlies______.A.betweenArizonaandNevadaB.intheBlackCanyonC.betweenNewYorkandSanFranciscoD.bothAandB【解析】由第二段的第一句话和最后一段的最后一句话可得出正确答案是D项。2.间接事实题解答此类题,需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断或者要进行简单的计算。InvitedbyMr.YeHuixian,hostofthewell-receivedTVprogramme“StarsTonight”,MissLuoLin,MissAsiaof1991,appearedastheguesthostessontheShanghaiTVscreenlastSunday.BorninShanghaiandtakentoHongkongwhenshewasonlysixyearsold,LuoLinhasneverdreamedofbeingMissAsia.Herchildhooddreamwastobeanairhostess.Beforeshetookpartinthecompetition,shehadbeenanairhostessinCathayAirlineforsevenyears.However,itstilltookherthreemonthstolearntheartofwalkingonthestage,dancing,singing,making-upandotherpropermanners,designedbytheAsiaTVStation.更多资料关注@高中学习资料库微信:gzxxzlk

定语从句中looksaftersheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。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】【三年高考】10、11、12、13高考试题及其解析1.(2013全国大纲)In1947agroupoffamouspeoplefromtheartworldheadedbyanAustrianconductordecidedtoholdaninternationalfestivalofmusic,danceandtheatreinEdinburgh.TheideawastoreuniteEuropeaftertheSecondWorldWar.Atthesametime,the“Fringe”appearedasachallengetotheofficialfestival.Eighttheatregroupsturnedupuninvitedin1947,inthebeliefthateveryoneshouldhavetherighttoperform,andtheydidsoinapublichousedisusedforyears.Soon,groupsofstudentsfirstlyfromEdinburghUniversity,andlaterfromtheuniversitiesofOxfordandCambridge,DurhamandBirminghamweremakingthejourneytotheScottishcapitaleachsummertoperformtheatrebylittle-knownwritersofplaysinsmallchurchhallstothepeopleofEdinburgh.Todaythe“Fringe”,oncelessrecognized,hasfaroutgrownthefestivalwitharound1,500performancesoftheatre,musicanddanceoneveryoneofthe21daysitlasts.Andyearsearlyas1959,withonly19theatregroupsperforming,somesaiditwasgettingtoobig.更多资料关注@高中学习资料库微信:gzxxzlk

Court,但现在不是,故B不对;该博物馆向大众开放是在1月份的下个月,即:2月份,故C不对;根据文章最后一段,她死后就博物馆的经营方面作了要求,因此,现在的经营仍然受到当时IsabellaStewart的要求所影响。故答案选D。【考点预测】2013高考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的有用信息,提高阅读速度。【母题特供】每个专题最典型试题Everyyearonmybirthday,fromthetimeIturned12,awhitegardeniawasdeliveredtomyhouse.Nocardcamewithit.Callstotheflower-shopwerenothelpfulatall.AfterawhileIstoppedtryingtodiscoverthesender’snameandjustdelightedinthebeautifulwhiteflowerinsoftpinkpaper.ButIneverstoppedimaginingwhothegivermightbe.Someofmyhappiestmomentswerespentdaydreamingaboutthesender.Mymotherencouragedtheseimaginings.She’daskmeiftherewassomeoneforwhomIhaddoneaspecialkindness.PerhapsitwastheoldmanacrossthestreetwhosemailI’ddeliveredduringthewinter.Asagirl,though,IhadmorefunimaginingthatitmightbeaboyIhadruninto.Onemonthbeforemygraduation,myfatherdied.IfeltsosadthatIbecamecompletelyuninterestedinmyupcominggraduationdance,andIdidn’tcareifIhadanewdressornot.Butmymother,inherownsadness,wouldnotletmemissanyofthosethings.Shewantedherchildrentofeellovedandlovable.Intruth,mymotherwantedherchildrentoseethemselvesmuchlikethegardenia—lovely,strongandperfectwithperhapsabitofmystery(神秘).MymotherdiedtendaysafterIwasmarried.Iwas22.Thatwastheyearthegardeniastoppedcoming.41.Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A.AChildhoodDreamB.AMother’sLoveC.AGraduationPartyD.ASpecialBirthday42.Themotherinsistedthatherdaughtergotothegraduationdancebecause___________.A.shecouldtakecareofthingsherselfB.shehopedshewouldfindaboyfriendC.shewantedhertobehappyandstrong更多资料关注@高中学习资料库微信:gzxxzlk
