1.以意群为单位，成组视读
英语阅读不是一个词一个词的去默看，而是根据意群，一组组的进行扫视。英语中主要有三大意
群：介词短语，从句，非谓语动词。尤其阅读长难句时，可以把意群用括号标出，然后就比较容易找
到句子主干，从而能比较准确的理解句意方向。这是一种高超的阅读能力，非以一贯之的坚持和大量
的阅读不能够习得。
2.重视文章框架结构
我们常有这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整
体理解。如何学会对文章的整体理解呢？首先，要重视文章的标题和主旨大意。接着在往下阅读时特
别注意每段的段意
3.积累词语。
高考阅读读词汇具有高频性和重复性。我们要坚持把阅读中的生词或者搭配短语抄到小本子上，
每天有空时，就拿出这小本子背诵记忆。前期由于单词量比较大，难度会比较大，但是由于考点词汇
的重复性，在后面的文章中我们会时不时接触，这样通过反复记忆，词汇量就增加得很快。
二．高考阅读理解四项能力考查
信息筛选能力——细节理解题
信息加工处理能力——推理判断题
信息归纳总结能力——主旨大意题
词汇猜测能力——词义猜测题

3.2 读文章，做标记
问：读文章，读什么？
答：读主旨（篇章主旨和段落主旨）；读细节（抓关键细节点）。
问：做标记，在哪里做？答：标记篇章主旨句；标记段落主旨句；标记常见答案出处关键细节点。
3.2.1 标记篇章主旨
任何文章都会有自己的主旨要义，即文章的主题，是否能够把握住文章的主题是理解一篇文章的关键。
因此，出题人为了考查学生对文章的理解程度，必然会以各种方式考查文章的主题。
1）篇章主题句位置总括：
首段首句型：主题句→具体的陈述(信号词，如 for example, an example of; first, second, next, last, finally;
to begin with, also, besides; one, the other; some, others 等。)
首段尾句型：开头列举事实→主题句（信号词。如 so，therefore，thus，consequently; in conclusion，in
short; in a word, to sum up）
中段型：有时段落是先介绍背景和细节，接着用一句综合或概括性的话概括前面所说的内容或事例，
然后再围绕主题展开对有关问题的深入讨论。这种文章的主题句往往会在段落中间出现。归纳起来主
要有两种情况：先提出问题，然后给予回答(主题句)，最后给予解释;或者，先提出问题，然后点出主
题思想(主题句)，最后给予解释。
尾段型：尾段总结概括（信号词 so, therefor, thus, in short , as a result, that is why）
首尾呼应型：主题句在段落的开头和结尾两个位置上先后出现，形成前呼后应的格局。这两个主题句
叙说的是同一个内容，但用词不尽相同，这样不但强调了主题思想，而且显得灵活多变。这两个句子
并非简单重复，后一个主题句或对该主题作最后的评述，或对要点作一概括，或使之引申留给读者去
思考。
无明确主题句型：各段中心句总结相加法或者语文总结中心思想法。
2）体裁：议论文，科普说明文，应用文（广告指南，新闻，通知）
文章主旨都出现在比较明显的位置，可以将之归纳为一目了然型。标记方法【3+1 法则】。即通过文章
的【标题、首段、尾段】及【高频词】。
说明文（introduction—description（example/comparison/classification）—conclusion）要求先明确文章的
说明对象
议论文（opinion—arguments（facts/examples/theory）—conclusion）要明确作者的观点和意图,能读懂最好,读不懂就看题,回文中找相关句子,看选项和文中的句子是否大体符合,推荐用排除法.
3）体裁：故事类记叙文（理解故事的含义和它想说明的道理）和传记类文章（时间是全文的关键）
1. 看首段：故事开始前作者对后文有一些概括性的描述
2. 尾段完整概括: 通过对文章的整个内容的概括, 进行主旨题的思考
3. 常见故事类记叙文主旨：1.故事升华到真善美哲理 2.分享一个经历 3.娱乐

1. Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a
college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
2. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their
bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedrooms
TVs.
3. A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels
among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the
cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.
4. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college
degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with
an average of more than 2½ hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
5. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,
while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
6. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating
findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.
What would be the best title for this text?
A. Computers or Television. B. Effects of Television on Children.
C. Studies on TV and College Education. D. Television and Children’s Learning Habits.

1. When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are
unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is
viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
2. Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their
thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other
musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical
traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
3.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain
how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need
every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can
get it all.
4. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific
symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through
which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give
form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access
to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that
music expresses.
5. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important
way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
6. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music education deserves more attention.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

1.Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have
never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as
ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play
catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her
daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and
the Three Bears.2.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned
something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
3.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball
long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle,
little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
4.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the
things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
5.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a
passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject
well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little
overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.

1.Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t
really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
2.On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365
different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than
recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
3.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My life and I decided
to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green
things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
4.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机
的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need.
We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon
juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In
our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
6.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to
go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Going Green. B. Protecting the Planet.
C. Keeping Open-Minded D. Celebrating Our Green Year.5
1.Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while
looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
2.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late
afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his
important papers, including his passport.
3.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the
terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle
down in a new one.
4.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name
and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)
that had been left out on the footpath.
5.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their
young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully
sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had
seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
6.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and
trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country.
C. Turning Trash to Treasure. D. In Search of New Friends..

1.Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy pair. Hidden among
already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these
products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.
2.Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center.
3.PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other
things, Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual
images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher
or guide to a companion character.4.On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an
educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities.
Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has
autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is
giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain
things.”
5.At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose
of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence” he said Erickson showed off a board
game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest
thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it
feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
6.It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are
doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
What is the best title of the text?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair
C. Toymakers are making profits in education
D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair
3.2.2 标记段落主旨
【段落首句、段落尾句具有概括性和深刻性的段落主题句】及【高频词】。
1）第一句是中心句：即第一句是中心，然后围绕这一主题作具体的陈述。如果从第二句就开始对第一
句进行说明，论述或描述，那第一句就是主题句。有些段落，在主题句后面有明显引出细节的信号词，
如 for example, an example of; first, second, next, last, finally; to begin with, also, besides; one, the other;
some, others 等。在阅读中应尽量利用上述信号词来确定主题句的位置。
2）第二句是中心句：第一句是过渡句。第二句与第一句存在转折关系（but, however, yet, in fact）或者
递进关系（moreover, after all, indeed）
3）句尾是中心句：有些文章会在开头列举事实, 然后通过论证阐述作者的核心论点。因此，如果第一
句话不是概括性的或综合性的话，最好快速读一读段落的最后一个句子，看看它是否具备主题句的特
征。一般说来，当一种观点不易向人解释清楚或不易被人接受时，主题句便会到段落的末尾才出现。学生可以充分利用引出结论的信号词。如 so，so that, therefore，thus，consequently; in conclusion，in short; in
a word, to sum up；all in all; generally 等来确定主题句的位置在段尾。
4）没有明显的中心句：充分发挥语文总结中心思想能力，能用最简洁的一两个词概括总结出段落主旨
大意。

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an
effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat
people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets
were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs
did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose
any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall — mostly with their
dogs — and found it worth doing.

My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing
jeans so long ago. Of course, he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and
trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it
appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he
created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen
wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the
chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to
credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe
for humans, according to the company.
4If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in
1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them.
They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.

Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the
English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David
Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world
or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or
shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the
Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places.
Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams
with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong
need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a café La Chope regular who works as a religious
instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d
like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says.
“If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like
companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or
sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for
the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands
on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to
learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.

There’re a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was the time was much
more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day. I also noticed that as I started
to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-recognition grew. I went from a desk-dwelling nerd (电脑
迷) to the kind of guy who likes to work.

Food production does great harm to our environment. There are many procedures involved in the
manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Some procedures require the
consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as the transportation and storage of food products. Other
factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.

When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming
pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but
the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m.
adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmers’ market.2
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums
could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. being a part-time
lawyer, at ＄48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist（心
理学家）a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）
demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with
friends.
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and
mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy
and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .
A. emotional demand B. low pay for work
C. heavy workload D. lack of training

People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And here’s no obvious answer.
On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians
somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists
suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along
paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat
from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.
It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.
A. rolling them on roads B. pushing them over the sand
C. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles
4
West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At
least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.
Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.
B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.
C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.
D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for
the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for
improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins(内
啡 肽 ), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared
common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey
with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
The first paragraph focuses on __________.
A. the greatest challenge of group exercise
B. the most effective way to improve physical fitness
C. the contribution of group exercise to psychological health

Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by
singing too much. Robins are singing all night 一 as well as during the day, British-based researchers say. David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is
