关于英语阅读理解二宝有话说
阅读理解的地位在国内英语考试中不言而喻,搞定阅读最起码能帮你得到英语分数的一半江山。但只要是考试,总有人欢喜有人愁,我今日分享的方法并不是你的救命草,对于英语这种特别需要点滴积累的学科而言,先要能看懂文章,再来学技巧,因为看懂了文章≠能做对题目。
我们的英语阅读理解题目其实并不会像我们的语文阅读理解一样,它的题型上都是客观题,这就决定了正确选项要的是客观事实,而非是主观理解,言下之意就是选项脱离了客观,谈主观那都是错误,作者没说的都是错的,哪怕是合理的推断!
比如2019年的6级阅读,请阅读下文,选出答案后,再看解析。

Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI)will be“either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity", and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as "crucial to the future of our civilization and our species"
46. What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?
A)It would be vital to the progress of human civilization.
B)It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.
C)It might present challenges as well as opportunities.
D)It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.
结合题目定位信息,我们很快就能通过连连看找到,主语是AI的创造,谓语是will be,宾语是后面的那句话就是我们的答案,我们只要理解即可,接下去我们来看选项,AD可以直接排除,剩下BC,而C属于典型的主观正确,但原文未提,而正确答案便是B,why?either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity,它是人类发生过的最好或最坏的事情,这是原文的意思,B选项的意思:这可能是福气,也可能是灾难,而C选项的意思:它可能既带来挑战,也带来机遇。通过比对我们选择最接近原文的B选项,C选项虽然主观理解非常完美,但是错就错在present带来,带来是后果,而原文没有说AI带来的后果如何如何,所以C选项属于无中生有+推理过度。B选项无论逻辑和意思均符合原文。
所以其实对英语阅读而言,它不需要我们做哈姆雷特,而除了主旨题和词汇题,做其他题目实质都是【连连看】,即主谓宾一一对应,对绝大数题目而言,能直接做到题目-原文的连连看,少部分题目需要完全的同意替换。
另外,无论是高考还是46级还是考研,出题的顺序都是先找外刊原文>专家替换成适合考试水平的单词、调整变化句式>结合原文设置问题和正确选项>设计错误选项。
根据这一出题顺序,我们做题的顺序应该要和出题顺序保持一致,先看问题找到定位点,理解后得出最直接的答案,然后根据这个最直接的答案去比对答案,选出最符合的选项,正确选项必须满足三个维度:一是回答所问、二要遵循原文、三要符合逻辑,是不是觉得很有道理,但是!命题人也不傻,这几年妥妥的命题反套路,你们都喜欢定位是吧,我偏偏出那种定位都找不到的题目。

下面我们看今年2020年7月的浙江英语高考卷的text1。
I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性)of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others.
22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?
A. Stating the plays'central ideas. B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C. Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights.
23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?
A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their acting skills.
C. Use their imagination. D. Keep their audience in mind.
24. What is this text?
A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book.
C. A play review. D. An advertisement for a theater.
21和24题,比较简单,这里不做赘述,而22和23题,我今年让我的学生(在我市最好的重点高中里)尝试做今年高考的第一篇,她却犯了难,因为她就是找不到定位句,一遍一遍的死磕原文,就是选不出,你说文章和选项理解上有难度吗?一定不是,可就是做不出来。
遇到这种情况,基础功的重要性就出来,对就是那个老生常谈的问题:词汇量和长难句。
所以,首先,我们一定要做到阅读和无障碍,也就是你一篇文章下来不能超过10%的单词不认识,选项单词必须都认识,有了这个基础最起码能做对一半题;其次,剩下的一半题目想做对,需要依靠逻辑分析来比出正确答案,这就要求既要知道正确选项为啥对,错误选项为什么错;最后,等你熟悉了错误选项的坑,练出了火眼金睛,自然而然就能做到心中有数。
我做阅读的流程和方法,标段落>仅看题目,猜测原文中心>第一遍扫读原文,从写作解读去思考文章是如何展开的,着重留意转折处、因果处、结论处>第二遍根据题文同序原则,一题一题做过去比过去>完成,另外由于我的基础比较好,所以我基本上很少需要语法分析,学习理解长难句没问题,但是学习的目的是帮助我们理解原文!
最后,请君谨记三条:
1、所有的技巧在没有基础面前那都是花架子,是锦上添花的东西,这几年命题反套路妥妥的,更加需要我们基础功底扎实;
2、一辈子学一次英语,不要考试了就要背单词,又要学语法了,功夫花在平时;
3、我知道最初开始的时候都很难,但是只要相信每天学习掌握一点,那总有厚积薄发的一天,我不怕你没基础,最怕你自暴自弃,感叹出:我就是没语言天赋,我就是不会英语。
