如何做好高中阅读理解
一、阅读最基本的要素——词汇
词汇是一点点积累起来的，从现在开始一直到高考，每天按照
自己的情况去定量背单词，
也可以每天保持一小段时间的泛读，是活跃英文思维、积累词汇的最好方式之
一，这个时间
可以是早晨、午休、甚至是睡前。不要去执着于读了多久或读懂多少，只要明确一点，即读
了就比没读好。
二、阅读最重要的原则——顺序
“顺序”原则，即出题的顺序和行
文顺序基本一致。阅读理解的题型无外乎三四大题型：
细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题、词义猜测
题，但不论哪种题型出题的顺序一般都遵
循“顺序”原则。
（1）细节理解题
1）直接细节题：此类题是对原文直接信息的考察，只要理解字面意思即可答题。
2）间接细
节题：此类题往往不能直接找到答案，需要对信息进行加工处理，简单归纳、
概括才能答题。
3）是非判断题：此类题型有两种形式：三对一错或三错一对。一般情况下此类题中出
现all,
never, only等完全肯或完全否定的词时，及排除。
4）排列顺序题：此类题一般在选项中
列举一些具体的事实，然后让考生进行排序，做
这类型题根据事情的发生的先后顺序或时间顺序以及句子
间的逻辑关系。
5）图文匹配题：这类型的题比较简单，因为它增加了试题的直观性，此类题分两种：
一是依文选图；二是依图选文。
6）数字计算题：此类题会涉及年代、人物年龄、需付钱数等
计算。做这类型题，把文
中出现的数字全都做上标记，找出相关计算方式计算即可得出答案。
（2）推理判断题（要求精读文章）
1）细节推断题：通过文章的字面意思领悟作者的言外之意和文章的真正含义。这类题
得精读文章，理解文章真正含义。
1
2）态度倾向题：这类题得通过理解文章基础上判断。
3）篇章结构题：这类题型要求考生必须对文章结构、作者的写作思路掌握。
4）写作方法题：要求必须知道一些写作方法的英文写法。比如举例子、下定义、对比
等。
（3）主旨大意题
1）段落大意题和文章大意题：概括、归纳文章大意。此类题学生要学会一“找”；二
“概括”找文首、文尾、文首和文尾、文中、段首、短尾、段首和短尾；利用找到的
信息进行归纳概括。
2）写作意图题：在理解文章大意基础上判断作者写作意图。主要还是理解文章主旨大
意。
3）标题归纳题：选标题切记不能太大，即与主旨大意里的远，显得空洞。；不能太小，
即标题只含有文章部分内容，不全面。
（4）词义猜测题
1）代词猜测：此类题在词义猜测题中是属于简单题型，只要结合上下文理解代词所指
代的对象是谁即可。
2）熟词语境义：此类型题词语均是大纲词汇，只是要结合上下文理解在语境中的意思。
3）超纲生词：此类题是词义猜测题中较难的，需要考生对文章理解的基础上猜测生词
的意义，要求考生词汇量要丰富。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。
三、读理解的解题核心——定位
“定位”即每一道题我们在
原文中都能找到它出现的位置。但怎么准确的定位是我们学
习的关键。
（1）先读问题，了解问了“什么”。
（2）读问题，找出问题关键词。
（3）文中定位。
（4）根据定位句解题，如果定位句不够全面，就结合段落中心句，定位句
的上句加下
句，组成解题“黄金三角区”进行解题。
总结：正确选项一定要“定位”到原文，
有“对应”，有“改写”；而错误选项则是“定位”
错误、“无中生有”、“拼凑细节”、“偷换概念”
、“扩大范围”和“凭借常识”。

Your glasses may someday
replace your smartphone, and
some New Yorkers
are ready for the switch. Some in the city can‟t
wait to try them on and use the
maps and GPS
that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I‟d use it if I were hanging out with friends
at 3 a.m. and going to the bar and wanted to see
what was open,”said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort
Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will
likely come out this year and cost between $$250
and $$600,
the Times said, possibly including a
variation of augmented(增强的)reality, a technology
already
available on smartphones and
tablets(平板电脑)that overlays information onto the
screen about
one‟s surroundings. So, for
example, if you were walking down a street,
indicators would pop up
showing you the
nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted
out and come into view right
on the sidewalk
in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream
consumer product, this just isn‟t something
anybody needs,”said
Sam Biddle, who writes for
. “We‟re accustomed to having one thing in our
pocket
to do all these things,”he added,“and
the average consumer isn‟t gonna be able to afford
another
device(装置)that‟s hundreds and hundreds
of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth
Weintraub, who has been reporting on the
smartphone-like glasses
since late last year,
said he is confident that this type of wearable
device will eventually be as
common as
smartphones.
“It‟s just like smartphones 10
years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started
getting
emails on their phones, and people
thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see
people
bending their heads to look at their
smartphones, and it‟s unnatural,” he said.
“There‟s gonna be
improvements to that, and
this a step there.”

You can‟t always
predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.
But designer Mikhail
Belyaev doesn‟t think
that forgetting to check the weather forecast
before heading out should
result in you
getting wet. That‟s why he created Lampbrella, a
lamp post with its own rain-sensing
umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea
after watching people get wet on streets in
Russia.
“Once, I was driving on a central
Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps
lighting up
people trying to hide from the
rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a
canopy(伞篷)built
into a street lamp.”he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street
lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a
4
built-in electric motor
which can open or close the umbrella on demand.
Sensors(传感器)then
ensure that the umbrella
offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts
raining.
In addition to the rain sensor,
there‟s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass
street lamp
which detects whether anyone is
using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not
being used the
canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella
would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to
cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it
would be grounded to protect from possible
lightning
strike. Each Lampbrella would offer
enough shelter for several people. Being
installed(安装)at 2
metres off the ground, it
would only be a danger for the tallest of
pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take
the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he
recently
introduced his creation to one Moscow
Department, and insists his creation could be
installed on
any street where a lot of people
walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
【文章大意】本文是一篇科技说明文, 主要介绍了设计师Belyaev的一项创造Lampbrel

Fear may be felt in
the heart as well as in the head, according to a
study that has found a link
between the cycles
of a beating heart and the chance of someone
feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers
found that they were more likely to feel a sense
of fear at the
moment when their hearts are
contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their
bodies, compared
with the point when the
heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results
suggest that the heart is able
to influence
how the brain responds to a fearful event,
depending on which point it is at in its
regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex
Medical School said: “Our study shows for the
first time that the way in which we deal with
fear is different depending on when we see fearful
pictures in relation to our heart.”
The
study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their
reactions to fear as they were shown pictures
of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The
study showed that fearful faces are better noticed
when
the heart is pumping than when it is
relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we
see and what
we don‟t see—and guide whether we
see fear.”
To further understand this
relationship, the scientists also used a brain
scanner(扫描仪)to
show how the brain influences
the way the heart changes a person‟s feeling of
fear.
6
“We have
found an important mechanism by which the heart
and brain„speak‟to each other to
change our
feelings and reduce fear, ”Dr Garfinkel said.
“We hope that by increasing our understanding
about how fear is dealt with and ways that it
could be reduced, we may be able to develop
more successful treatments for anxiety disorders,
and also for those who may be suffering from
serious stress disorder.”
1. What is the
finding of the study?
A. One‟s heart affects
how he feels fear.
B. Fear is a result of
one‟s relaxed heartbeat.
C. Fear has something
to do with one‟s health.
D. One‟s fast
heartbeats are likely to cause fear.

Not
all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the
Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of
water
covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic
has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean
as
the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike
real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the
Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is
perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been
much
written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around
700, is generally regarded as one of mankind‟s
earliest artistic representations of the
Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east
must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the
sun
7
Is rooted in
the ocean’s breast.
As the poem suggests, the
Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean
that moves, impressively
and endlessly. It
makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,
boiling, crashing, and
whistling.
It is
easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw
breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in
mid-
ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing
up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模
仿)nearly
perfectly the steady breathing of a living
creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences,
too; unimaginable quantities of creatures,
little and large alike, mix within its depths in a
kind of
oceanic harmony, giving to the waters
a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean
vitality. And it
has a psychology. It has
personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on
rare occasions rough
and wild; always it is
strong and striking.

Atlantic Ocean is .
A. always energetic
B. lacking in liveliness
C. shaped like a

D. favored by ancient poets
2. What
is the purpose of using the poem“Storm at Sea”in
the passage?
A. To describe the movement of
the waves.
B. To show the strength of the

A German
study suggests that people who were too optimistic
about their future actually
faced greater risk
of disability or death within 10 years than those
pessimists who expected their
8
future to be worse.
The paper,
published this March in Psychology and Aging,
examined health and welfare
surveys from
roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and
surveys were conducted every
year from 1993 to
2003.
Survey respondents(受访者)were asked to
estimate their present and future life
satisfaction
on a scale of 0 to 10,among other
questions.
The researchers found that young
adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated
their future
life satisfaction, while middle-
aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately
predicted how they
would feel in the future.
Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more
likely to underestimate
their future life
satisfaction. Not only did they feel more
satisfied than they thought they would,
the
older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower
ratio(比率)of disability and death for the study
period.
“We observed that being too
optimistic in predicting a better future than
actually observed
was associated with a
greater risk of disability and a greater risk of
death within the following
decade,” wrote
Frieder , a professor at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Lang and his colleagues
believed that people who were pessimistic about
their future may be
more careful about their
actions than people who expected a rosy future.
“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive
evaluations of the actual self and may
contribute to taking improved
precautions(预防措施),”the authors wrote.
Surprisingly, compared with those in poor
health or who had low incomes, respondents who
enjoyed good health or income were associated
with expecting a greater decline. Also, the
researchers said that higher income was
related to a greater risk of disability.
The
authors of the study noted that there were
limitations to their conclusions. Illness,
medical treatment and personal loss could also
have driven health outcomes.
However, the
researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found
that from early to late
adulthood, individuals
adapt their expectations of future life
satisfaction from optimistic, to
accurate, to
pessimistic,” the authors concluded.
1.
According to the study, who made the most accurate
prediction of their future life satisfaction?
A. Optimistic adults.
B. Middle-aged
adults.
C. Adults in poor health.
D.
Adults of lower income.
2. Pessimism may be

risks

3. How do people of higher income see their
future?
A. They will earn less money.
B.
They will become pessimistic.
C. They will
suffer mental illness.
D. They will have less
time to enjoy life.
4. What is the clear
conclusion of the study?
A. Pessimism
guarantees chances of survival.
B. Good
financial condition leads to good health.
C.
Medical treatment determines health outcomes.
D. Expectations of future life satisfaction

When international aid is given,
steps must be taken to ensure(确保)that the aid
reaches the
people for whom it is intended.
The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is
very difficult for a
nation to give help
directly to people in another nation. The United
Nations Organization (UNO)
could undertake to
direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises
the problem of costs. Also tied
with this is
time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of
devoted men and women in every
country who can
speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and
earthquakes.
More than the help that one
nation can give to another during a disaster, it
would be more
effective to give other forms of
help during normal times. A common proverb says,
“Give me a
fish and I eat for a day, teach me
to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”If we follow
this wise saying, it
would be right to teach
people from less developed nations to take care of
themselves. For
example, a country could share
its technology with another. This could be in
simple areas like
agriculture or in more
complex areas like medical and health care or even
in building satellites.
Even a small country
is able to help less developed nations. Sometime
what is taken for granted,
like the setting up
of a water purification plant or the
administration of a school, could be useful
for countries which are looking about to solve
common problems. It does not cost much to share
such simple things. Exchange students could be
attached for a number of months or years and
learn the required craft while on the site.
They can then take their knowledge back to their
homelands and if necessary come back from time
to time to clear doubts or to update themselves.
Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no
chance of it being temporary or of it falling into
the
wrong hands.
Many countries run
extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will
not cost much to include
10
deserving foreigners in these
courses. Besides giving effective help to the
countries concerned,
there is also the build-
up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help
by giving materials may be
effective in the
short run and must continue to be given in the
event of emergencies. However, in
the long run
what is really effective would be the sharing of
knowledge.
1. According to the author, how
could international aid reach the victims in time?
A. By solving the cost problems.
B. By
solving the transportation problems.
C. By
setting up a body of devoted people in every
country.
D. By relying on the direct
distribution of the UNO.
2. What does the
author try to express in the underlined sentence?
A. Providing food is vital.
B. Learning to
fish is helpful.
C. Teaching skills is
essential.
D. Looking after others is
important.
3. The second paragraph is
developed mainly .
A. by example
C. by
comparison
B. by process
D. by
contrast
4. Which aid is likely to fall into
the wrong hands?
A. A medical team. B. An
exchange program.
C. A water plant. D.
Financial support.
5. What can we infer about
international aid from the passage?
A. It is
facing difficulties.
B. It is unnecessary
during normal times.
C. It should be given in
the form of materials.
D. It has gained
support from developed countries.

If a
diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the
bends.
Nitrogen(氮)dissolved(溶解)in his blood is
suddenly liberated by the
reduction of
pressure. The consequence, if the
bubbles(气泡)accumulate in
a joint, is sharp
pain and a bent body—thus the name. If the bubbles
form
in his lungs or his brain, the
consequence can be death.
Other air-
breathing animals also suffer this
decompression(减压)sickness if they surface too
11
fast: whales, for
example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs. That
these ancient sea animals got
the bends can be
seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form
inside the bone they can cut
off its blood
supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and
consequently weakens it, sometimes to the
point of collapse. Fossil(化石)bones that have
caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the
animal once had the bends.
Bruce
Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all
this when he began a study of
ichthyosaur
bones to find out how widespread the problem was
in the past. What he particularly
wanted to
investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the
problem of decompression over the
150 million
years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled
the world‟s natural-history museums,
looking
at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic
period and from the later Jurassic and
Cretaceous periods.
When he started, he
assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in
younger fossils,
reflecting their gradual
evolution of measures to deal with decompression.
Instead, he was
astonished to discover the
opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous
ichthyosaurs had
suffered the bends before
they died, but not a single Triassic
specimen(标本)showed evidence of
that sort of
injury.
If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-
decompression means, they clearly did so
quickly—and,
most strangely, they lost it
afterwards. But that is not what Dr. Rothschild
thinks happened. He
suspects it was evolution
in other animals that caused the change.
Whales that suffer the bends often do so because
they have surfaced to escape a
predator(捕
食动物)such as a large shark. One of
the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance
of large
sharks and crocodiles, both of which
were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans,
by
contrast, were mercifully shark-and
crocodile-free. In the Triassic, then,
ichthyosaurs were top of
the food chain. In
the Jurassic and Cretaceous, hey were prey(猎物)as
well as predator—and often
had to make a
speedy exit as a result.
1. Which of the
following is a typical symptom of the bends?
A. A twisted body.
B. A gradual decrease
in blood supply.
C. A sudden release of
nitrogen in blood.
D. A drop in blood
pressure.
2. The purpose of Rothschild‟s study
is to see .
A. how often ichthyosaurs caught
the bends
B. how ichthyosaurs adapted to
decompression
C. why ichthyosaurs bent their
bodies
D. when ichthyosaurs broke their bones

3. Rothschild‟s
finding stated in Paragraph 4 .
A. confirmed
his assumption
B. speeded up his research
process
C. disagreed with his assumption
D. changed his research objectives
4.
Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs
.
A. failed to evolve an anti-decompression
means
B. gradually developed measures against
the bends
C. died out because of large sharks

D. evolved an anti-
decompression means but soon lost it

The baby is just
one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is
quiet but alert(警觉).Twenty
centimeters from
her face researchers have placed a white card with
two black spots on it. She
stares at it
carefully. A researcher removes the card and
replaces it by another, this time with the
spots differently spaced. As the cards change
from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose
its
focus—until a third, with three black
spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks
at it for twice
as long as she did at the
previous card. Can she tell that the number two is
different from three,
just 24 hours after
coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply
prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but
with three spots
shown before two, shows the
same return of interest when the number of spots
changes. Perhaps it
is just the newness? When
slightly older babies were shown cards with
pictures of objects (a comb,
a key, an orange
and so on), changing the number of objects had an
effect separate from changing
the objects
themselves. Could it be the pattern that two
things make, as opposed to three? No
again.
Babies paid more attention to squares moving
randomly on a screen when their number
changed
from two to three, or three to two. The effect
even crosses between senses. Babies who
were
repeatedly shown two spots became more excited
when they then heard three drumbeats than
when
they heard just two; likewise(同样地)when the
researchers started with drumbeats and
moved
to spots.
