要適當加強學生把握文章宏觀結構的能力。除了采用上麵提到的方法外,還可以用選擇故事最佳結尾的方式。以下麵的短文為例:
An old woman walked into a clothes shop.She asked the salesgirl to let her have a look at a new dress,but the girl stood still behind the counter,taking no notice of the repuest.
The old woman spoke to the girl again,raising her voice a bit,but still received no answer. She looked at the girl and nodded to herself,“I am too old to see well.I can’t even tell a plastic model from a real girl!”
On hearing this,the salesgirl shouted to the old woman:“What!Did you call me a plastic model?”
The old woman looked greatly surprised.“Oh,dear me,”she said.“The model can speak!?搖?搖?搖 ?搖”
可以針對此文設計這樣的題目:
Choose the best of the following to end the story with.
A.All right,then show me that dress!
B.Why didn’t you say anything all the while,then?
C.Then it must be a robot.
D.Then it must be a real girl!
(答案為C)
這樣設計題目,考查的不僅是考生把握短文宏觀結構的能力,還包括他們的語篇鑒賞能力。
三、答題思路與技巧
1.快速閱讀短文
首先將全文快速閱讀一遍,初步弄清短文的段落大意,對全文有一個整體了解,帶著以下幾方麵問題閱讀,即五個W(who,when,where,what why),一個H(how)
2.認真逐題作答
看完短文後,對整篇短文的內容有了大致理解,然後立即看後麵的問題,帶著問題找答案。
3.仔細校對所選答案
做完所有題目後,再讀一遍短文,逐一檢查所選答案是否有誤。如果有拿不定主意的答案,則不要隨意更改,一定要從原文中找到依據,方可更正。
總之,閱讀理解能力的培養功在平時,隻要在平時的學習中夯實基礎,勤於總結,掌握正確的學習方法,做閱讀理解題就會取得好成績。
