1、探究高考新题型-阅读简答题曹彦菊I.阅读简答题简介 Brief Introduction:阅读简答题是 2007 年来湖南高考英语出现的一种新题型。它的出现体现了增加主观题,减少客观题这一全球语言测试的大方向。其体裁主要是说明文,应用文和新闻,文章结构清楚,脉络清晰,易于把握。词数在260-310 之间。占 10 分,要求学生 6-8 分钟完成。II. 简答题考查要求 Requirements:1. 考查学生对词语的猜测能力-词义猜测题2. 考查学生对具体细节问题或难句的确切理解能力-事实细节题3. 考查学生综合主题概括信息的能力-主题概括题III. 阅读简答题解题步骤(Steps)1. 浏览
2、问题,划出问题关键词(question-scanning)通过读题,划出题目所需信息的关键词,一可预测文章内容,二便于在阅读文章时有的放矢查读有效信息,节省阅读时间。2. 带着问题速读文章,根据试题关键词定位答题信息(question- skimming)带着已理解的问题及关键词和采用“skim”阅读法。即:紧扣关键词,浏览全文,找出信息句。阅读时,与关键词无关的句子或段落要速读,而与关键词相关处要细读,因为问题关键词处不仅仅是答题的关键之处,也是揭示全文主题所在。3. 推敲理解信息句,遣词组句答问题(question- answering)此步是做好阅读简答题的关键。因为受字数限制,不能全部
3、引用信息句作答,而要深层次的推敲,理解信息句,提炼概括出有针对性的语句作答。主要方法有三种:(1) 采用转换词性,采用单词代短语或语句,提炼主要信息舍弃次要信息等方法精减语句;(2) 采用概括性的语句归纳信息句(3) 采用文章上下文中的有关提示语或信息句中的关键词作答,若一定要用自己的语言组织表达时,则要注意句子结构的精炼,完整和时态的正确。IV. 简答题答题技巧(Skills)1. 词义猜测题此题考查学生转述(paraphrase)或解释(explain)某词或短语在特定场合下的特定含义的能力。出题形式为:Find in the passage a word/ phrase closest/
4、opposite in meaning to the underlined word/phrase重点考查动词,名词,形容词,副词等实词或动词短语,答题时要注意:(1)答题时所用词必须与问题中的原词在词性和词的形式上均要一致(如动词要注意动词的过去分词和现在分词形式,名词的单复数)(2)理解原词在所在句的逻辑意义,如解释什么关系和修饰什么事物等。(3)要注意破折号,同位语从句,定语从句,插于语等具有解释说明作用的语言成分,以此推敲猜测原词的意义,借此帮助寻找文中的替换词。2. 事实考查题次题所占比重最大,以 why, what, how 提问的问题为主。答此题时应注意提问方式和答案的协调性。(
5、1) 就目的提问,应当用表目的用语回答,如 for 短语,不定式短语;就原因提问,应当用because of/ because 回答,就事件的可能性提问,常用简短而完整的简单句。(2) 提问词是 what, 多用名词或名词性短语,名词性从句来回答。(3) 提问词是 how, 则多用“by doing sth/ by means of sth” 来回答。3.主题概括题(1) 此题提问方式有:what is the main idea of the passage?What is the passage mainly about?What is the the best title for the
