【題型分解】該題型共有15小題,共45分。要求考生閱讀幾篇短文,每篇短文后有幾個問題或留有空白處的句子?？忌鶕?jù)短文內(nèi)容從所給的選項中選出能回答問題或填入句子空白處的最佳選項。閱讀理解是綜合語言運用能力的一個重要方面,在高職高考中所占比重大,這是拉開檔次的題目。近幾年試卷中通常有四篇閱讀文章,2017年開始只有三篇閱讀文章,2023年開始只有二篇閱讀問答選擇,一篇閱讀填空選擇。題材盡量多樣化,包括日常生活、傳說、人物、社會、文化、科技、政治、經(jīng)濟等。體裁包括記敘文、說明文、議論文、應(yīng)用文等。第四章閱讀理解一、閱讀問答選擇題閱讀理解的五個目標(biāo)如下:1.根據(jù)上下文和構(gòu)詞法推斷、理解生詞的含義;2.理解段落中各句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系;3.能找出文章中的主題、理解故事的情節(jié)、預(yù)測故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展和可能的結(jié)局;4.能讀懂常見體裁的閱讀材料;5.能根據(jù)不同的閱讀目的,運用簡單的閱讀策略【方法指導(dǎo)】閱讀理解考查的項目大多是根據(jù)這三種能力的要求設(shè)計的。為了提高閱讀理解能力,做閱讀理解時,考生就要在以下幾個方面下功夫:1.要注意養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀心理。閱讀時要去掉雜念,心緒要安定、精神要專一,要形成一種愜意的順向心理。切不可一遇到幾個生詞難句,就心煩意亂,失去自控能力。心理學(xué)家告訴我們,任何恐慌、過分緊張的情緒都會形成一種消極因素妨礙大腦的正常思維功能。因此,遇到困難一定要從容不迫,心無旁騖。這樣才能對所讀的文章印象清晰、理解深刻。2.要提高視讀的速度?？奸喿x理解,從另一個方面來說,考的是視讀速度。因此做閱讀理解時,要注意培養(yǎng)自己快速閱讀的習(xí)慣。閱讀時眼球總是不斷地移動——停頓——移動著。理解是在“眼停”的瞬間進行的。我們要使眼停的時間相對增加,就要擴大視讀的廣度,把逐詞逐句的點式閱讀變成一次掃描一句的線式閱讀,并且把看到的東西迅速報告給大腦,形成眼腦較快的直映能力。切不可在個別難懂的詞句上磨蹭,只要全篇理解了,個別難懂的詞句可以根據(jù)上下文和構(gòu)詞法去猜測、去推斷。3.閱讀時要注意培養(yǎng)語感。所謂語感是指人們對語言中詞語搭配及句型結(jié)構(gòu)的熟練程度。語感好的人,理解力就強,視讀的速度就快。閱讀時要留心詞語的搭配,即習(xí)慣用法。必要時可用筆劃一劃或記下來。讀完每一篇文章,都應(yīng)總結(jié)歸納一下,積累了多少單詞、習(xí)慣用法和句型,這樣語感自然就會好起來。4.閱讀時要善于找關(guān)鍵句。特別要注意文章的第一段和最后一段的頭一句話,往往就是關(guān)鍵句,可以幫助你掌握文章的全貌,理解文章的主題。此外,還應(yīng)該細(xì)讀文章,因為有時的試題是考細(xì)節(jié)。可以邊讀邊用鉛筆做標(biāo)記,把有關(guān)的人物、事件、時間、地點、原因(即五個W,who,what,when,where,why)劃出來。5.讀完一篇文章后,要回味一番對文章的段落結(jié)構(gòu)、中心思想、人物事件、論點論據(jù)做到心中有數(shù)。對不清楚的地方可以再看幾次。要留心關(guān)鍵詞句,注意弦外之音。對文章的評價分析,一定要堅持“詞不離句,句不離篇”,要理解文章作者的原意,而不能按你自己的意愿去想當(dāng)然。切記:一想當(dāng)然,就會出錯。如果文章太長,你可以先把文章后面的問題看一遍,帶著問題去看文章。這樣可以幫助你去掉雜念,提高閱讀速度和解題的正確性?！纠?】AfriendofminenamedPaulreceivedanexpensivecarfromhisbrotherasaChristmaspresent.OnChristmasEvewhenPaulcameoutofhisoffice,astreeturchin(頑童)waswalkingaroundtheshiningcar.“Isthisyourcar,Paul?”heasked.Paulanswered,“Yes,mybrothergaveittomeforChristmas.”Theboywassurprised.“Youmeanyourbrothergaveittoyouanditdidn’tcostyouanything?Boy,Iwish...”hehesitated(猶豫).OfcoursePaulknewwhathewasgoingtowishfor.Hewasgoingtowishhehadabrotherlikethat.ButwhattheboysaidsurprisedPaulgreatly.“Iwish,”theboywenton,“thatIcouldbeabrotherlikethat.”Paullookedattheboyinsurprise,thenhesaid,“Wouldyouliketotakearideinmycar?”“Oh,yes,I’dlovethat.”Afterashortride,theboyturnedandwithhiseyesshining,said,“Paul,wouldyouminddrivinginfrontofmyhouse?”Paulsmiledalittle.Hethoughtheknewwhattheboywanted.Hewantedtoshowhisneighboursthathecouldridehomeinabigcar.ButPaulwaswrongagain,“Willyoustopwherethosestepsare?”theboyasked.Heranuptothesteps.TheninashortwhilePaulheardhimcomingback,buthewasnotcomingfast.Hewascarryinghislittlecripple(殘疾)brother.Hesathimdownonthestepandpointedtothecar.“Thereheis,Buddy,justlikeItoldyouupstairs.HisbrothergaveittohimforChristmasanditdidn’tcosthimacent.AndsomedayI’mgoingtogiveyouonejustlikeit...thenyoucanseeforyourselfallthenicethingsintheChristmaswindowthatI’vebeentryingtotellyouabout.”Paulgotoutandliftedtheboytothefrontseatofhiscar.Theshining?eyedolderbrotherclimbedinbesidehimandthethreeofthembegananunforgettableholidayride.這是一篇故事性很強的文章。文中涉及的人物有三個,主人公Paul(保羅),streeturchin(馬路頑童)和Buddy(頑童的殘疾弟弟)。故事發(fā)生在圣誕節(jié)前夜,保羅的哥哥送給他一輛昂貴的小汽車作為圣誕禮物,馬路頑童圍著車看,問了保羅一些問題并提出了一些要求。這期間保羅有很多猜想,文章就是按照這一線索展開的,故事的結(jié)尾出人意料,這也是這一類文章的共同特點。文章的命題如下:(

)1.Thestreeturchinwasverysurprisedwhen

.

A.Paulreceivedanexpensivecar

B.Paultoldhimaboutthecar

C.hesawtheshiningcar

D.hewaswalkingaroundthecar【答案】

B【解析】可以看出,這是一道文章細(xì)節(jié)題,可以從文章第二段“Paulanswered,‘Yes,mybrothergaveittomeforChristmas.’”“Theboywassurprised.”中找到依據(jù)。(

)2.Fromthestorywecanseetheurchin

.

A.wishedtogivehisbrotheracar

B.wantedPaul’sbrothergivehimacar

C.wishedhecouldhaveabrotherlikePaul’s

D.wishedPaulcouldbeabrotherlikethat【答案】

A【解析】這是一道推理分析題,從文章倒數(shù)第二段馬路頑童對他弟弟講的那段話可以分析出。(

)3.TheurchinaskedPaultostophiscarinfrontofhishouse

.

A.toshowhisneighboursthebigcar B.toshowhehadarichfriend C.tolethisbrotherrideinthecar D.totellhisbrotherabouthiswish【答案】

D【解析】這是一道理解題。文章倒數(shù)第四段中“ButPaulwaswrongagain”是關(guān)鍵,通過倒數(shù)第二段馬路頑童對他弟弟講的話,我們才理解了馬路頑童在第四段中說的“IwishthatIcouldbeabrotherlikethat”的真正含義是想做一個像保羅的哥哥那樣的兄長,這也正是他想告訴弟弟的。(

)4.Wecaninferfromthestorythat

.

A.Paulcouldn’tunderstandtheurchin

B.theurchinhadadeeploveforhisbrother

C.theurchinwishedtohavearichbrother

D.theurchin’swishcametrueintheend【答案】

B【解析】

這是一道理解歸納題,要通過對全文的理解才能得出。文章所要反映的正是頑童對他殘疾弟弟所擁有的深深的愛。(

)5.Thebesttitleofthestoryis

.

A.AChristmasPresent B.AStreetUrchin C.ABrotherLikeThat D.AnUnforgettableRide【答案】

D【解析】這是一道中心主旨題。文章曾兩次出現(xiàn)abrotherlikethat,一次是保羅猜想的,一次是頑童自己說的,但兩者含義截然相反,為什么呢?文章就此埋下了伏筆,隨著故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展,原因也就明朗了。因此C作為文章的題目最合適?！纠?】Happinessisforeveryone.Youdon’tneedtocareaboutthosepeoplewhohavebeautifulhouseswithlargegardensandswimmingpoolsorthosewhohavenicecarsandalotofmoneyandsoon.Why?Becausethosewhohavebighousesmayoftenfeellonelyandthosewhohavecarsmaywanttowalkonthecountryroadsintheirsparetime.Infact,happinessisalwaysaroundyouifyouputyourheartintoit.Whenyouareintroubleatschool,yourfriendswillhelpyou;whenyoustudyhardatyourlessons,yourparentsarealwaystakinggoodcareofyourlifeandyourhealth;whenyougetsuccess,yourfriendswillsaycongratulationstoyou;whenyoudosomethingwrong,peoplearoundyouwillhelpyoutocorrectit.Andwhenyoudosomethinggoodtoothers,youwillfeelhappy,too.Alltheseareyourhappiness.Ifyounoticeabitofthem,youcanseethathappinessisalwaysaroundyou.Happinessisnotthesameasmoney.Itisafeelingofyourheart.Whenyouarepoor,youcanalsobeveryhappy,becauseyouhavesomethingelsethatcan’tbeboughtwithmoney.Whenyoumeetwithdifficulties,youcansayloudlyyouareveryhappy,becauseyouhavemorechancestochallengeyourself.Soyoucannotalwayssayyouarepoorandyouhavebadluck.Asthesayinggoes,lifeislikearevolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door.Whenitrevolves,italsoopens.Ifyoutakeeverychanceyouget,youcanbeahappyandluckyperson.(

)1.Thosewhohavebighousesmayoftenfeel

.

A.happy

B.lonely

C.free

D.excited【答案】

B【解析】這是一個考查細(xì)節(jié)和事實的題目。文章中有明確的敘述:Becausethosewhohavebighousesmayoftenfeellonely所問問題和原文的敘述完全一樣。(

)2.WhenyoufalldowninaPEclass,bothyourteacherand yourclassmateswill

.

A.laughatyou B.playjokesonyou

C.quarrelwithyou D.helpyouup【答案】

D【解析】這也是一個考查細(xì)節(jié)和事實的題目。在所給文章中可以找到這樣的敘述:Whenyouareintroubleatschool,yourfriendswillhelpyou.根據(jù)這一敘述,我們可以判斷:當(dāng)你在體育課上摔倒時,你的老師和同學(xué)們肯定會幫你站起來的。(

)3.Whatwillyourfriendssaytoyouwhenyoumakegreat progress?

A.Oh,sodoI. B.Congratulations.

C.Goodluck. D.It’sjustso?so.【答案】

B【解析】這一道閱讀理解題同樣是考查事實和細(xì)節(jié)的題目。在閱讀文章里我們也能找到關(guān)于這問題的敘述:whenyougetsuccess,yourfriendswillsaycongratulationstoyou.(

)4.WhichideaisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?

A.Peoplewhohavecarswouldneverliketowalkintheopen air.

B.Youcangethelpfromotherswhenyoumakemistakes.

C.Youcanstillbeahappypersonevenifyouhavelittle money.

D.Happinessisalwaysaroundyouthoughdifficultiescome towardsyou.【答案】

A【解析】這是一道判斷題目。閱讀文章里明確敘述:thosewhohavecarsmaywanttowalkonthecountryroadsintheirsparetime.閱讀理解題的A項說,有車的人永遠(yuǎn)不愿在室外走,與文章所講完全不同,因此是不對的。(

)5.Whichofthefollowingisthispassageabout?

A.Badluck. B.Goodluck. C.Happiness. D.Life.【答案】

C【解析】

這是一道考查文章主題的題目。這篇文章共有三段。第一段的主題句是:Happinessisforeveryone.第二段的主題句是:Infact,happinessisalwaysaroundyouifyouputyourheartintoit.第三段的主題句是:Happinessisnotthesameasmoney.三段的主題都是圍繞happiness展開的,所以正確答案是happiness。【例3】Therearelittlecarsthatmaysomedaytaketheplaceoftoday’sautomobiles(汽車).Ifeveryonedrivessuchalittlecarinthefuture,therewillbelesspollutionintheair,therewillbemoreparkingspaceincities,andthestreetswillbelesscrowded.Thespacenowforonecaroftheusualsizecanholdatleastthreesuchlittlecars.Thelittlecarswillcostmuchlesstoownandtodrive.Drivingwillbesafer,too,astheselittlecarscangoonly65kilometresanhour.Thecarsofthefuturewillbefineforgoingaroundthecity,buttheywillnotbeusefulforgoingfaraway.Ifthecarispoweredbyelectricity,itwillhavetwobatteries(電池)—onebatteryforthemotorandtheotherforthehorn(喇叭),signals,etc.Littlecarswhicharepoweredbygaswillgo45kilometresbeforeneedingtostopformoregas.Ifbigcarsarestillusedalongwiththesmallones,twosetsofroadswillbeneededtosetupinthefuture.Someroadswillbeusedforthebig,fastcars,andotherroadswillbeneededforthesmall,slowerones.(

B.Itwillbesafertodrivethesesmallcars.

C.Therewillbemorespaceforcarstopark.

D.Alloftheabove.【答案】

D【解析】此題難度不大。第1、2段給出了小汽車的優(yōu)勢:占地少,污染小,駕駛安全,價格低廉。A、B、C項都有。(

)2.Whyisitsafertodrivethesesmallcars?A.Becausethespeed(速度)ofthesecarsisunlimited(無限的).B.Becausethespeedofthesecarsislimited(限制的).C.Becausethestreetwon’tbesocrowded.D.Becausethecarsneedonlyalittlespace.【答案】

)3.Twosetsofroadsarenecessaryinthefutureinorderto

.

A.preventcaraccidents B.makethecitymorebeautiful

C.letsmallcarsrunfast D.limitthespeedofthecars【答案】

A【解析】這種小汽車有優(yōu)勢,但也有弱點(比如車速),所以將來要有兩種汽車道并存。兩種汽車道路,其目的在于“各行其道,避免車禍”。(

)4.Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtothepassage? A.Acaroftheusualsizenowisthreetimesasbigasthe smallcar.

B.Thesmallcarwithaspeedof65kilometresanhouris muchmoreuselessthanacaroftheusualsize.

)5.Thebesttitleforthispassageshouldbe

.

A.BigCarsandSmallCars B.HowtoDriveSmallCars

C.CarsforTomorrow D.CarsforEveryone【答案】

C【解析】

文章主要是對未來的汽車而做的種種設(shè)想。因此“CarsforTomorrow”為最佳標(biāo)題。A項沒有表達出作者的意旨?！纠?】Alicealwayswantedtobeasinger.Musicwasthemostimportantthinginherlifebut,totellyouthetruth,shetooklessonsforyears,andpractisedeveryday,butinspiteof(盡管)allthese,hervoicedidn’timprove.Honestly,itdidn’tgetbetter,itjustgotlouder.Herteacherfinallygaveupandstoppedthelessons,butAlicerefusedtogivein,andonedayshedecidedtogiveaconcertandinvitedherteachertoattend.Theteacherwasveryworriedaboutwhattosayaftertheconcert.Sheknewitwouldbeterribleanditwas.Shedidn’twanttotellalie,butshedidn’twanttohurtAlice’sfeelingseither.Finally,shegotanideaandwentbackstage(后臺)togreetherpupil.“Well,”saidAlice,“whatdidyouthinkofmysinging?”“Mydear,”saidtheteacher,“you’llneverbebetterthanyouweretonight.”(
