学法指导：
阅读理解是测试综合运用语言的能力。准确地理解阅读材料需要平时进行大量的阅读，以培养语感，提高阅读速度及逻辑推理能力，还需要在阅读中掌握必要的方法和步骤，主要有以下几点：
1、带着问题通读短文。先看短文后面的答题，然后再读短文，只有这样才能有的放矢，争取时间；
2、抓纲带目阅读全文。首先要抓住各自然段的主题句这个“纲”，以此来推断出文章的中心意思；
3、缜密分析判断找出正确答案。第一，从语法角度思考判断，如从词法判断词义，从句法、惯用法及动词的时态、语态、词类转换去判断句义、段义。第二，从宏观上加以判断、推理，最后做出合乎逻辑的结论；
4、从行文的条理入手，弄清文章的结构层次和段落间的内在联系。要围绕五个要素who, what, when, where, why 等问题去思考，弄清人物经历或事物发展的来龙去脉。对文章进行深入了解；
5、统观全篇，前后照应。答完所有题目之后，再读一遍短文，逐一校对答案，看看各题的答案是否互相照应，若有矛盾之处，再做检查纠正，确保理解无误。
典型例析：
一、推断细节或词义
阅读理解中推断性的题目一般难度较大，而且日益增多。这类题目无法从文章中直接找到答案，需要揣摩和分析作者的意图、观点及文章的结论，直到对全文有了透彻的理解后，再从中找出隐含的意义，作出正确的判断。
1、推断细节
先根据文章中某些具体人物、时间、地点、事件的起因或结果加以联想，再作出合理的推断。不要为表面假象所迷惑，要仔细读全文，分析有关事实数据，去伪存真，掌握细节，正确选择。
“That’s right,” said the boss after Jim told the story . “But didn’t you notice last week ?There was a mistake last week .There was too much ----five dollars too much ! For one mistake ,I can close my eyes but for two mistakes ,no, I can’t .” “Thank you ,Jim .I’ve known you already. Perhaps I have to choose another man as the head of the workplace .”the boss said at last.
From the story we know the boss________ Jim .
A. loved B. helped C. didn’t helped D. didn’t like
这是一道综合推断题，所给的四个选项都很模糊，但如果读懂老板的最后一句话“I have to choose another man as the head of the workplace . ”的含义，
就不难推断本题答案是D。
2、推断词义
通过上下文的意思来猜测某个生词的词义。
Mary Bluett , an offical , said mobile phone use is a distraction to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.句中的cheat可能是生词，但是通过上文 “use phone messages”及下文 “during exams ” 以及整段文章所给情景，就不难猜出cheat是作弊的意思。
二、抓主旨大意
When David Williams left school ,he went to Australia .Then he went to America .He decided to go back to his old school.
David was glad when he learned that his old teacher was still teaching there .He went to visit the old man ,and after they had an interesting talk ,the teacher went out to get something .While he was away ,David saw an examination paper on the desk .He looked at the date on it and saw that it had been given to the students the week before, David picked the paper up and read through .
When the teacher came back, David asked him,“ I’m sure that these are the same questions that you tested us in our examinations twenty years ago !How is that possible ? ”
“Yes , that’s right ,”agreed the teacher. “The questions are the same,but the answers have changed.”
What’s the best title for the story ?
A. Bright Questions and Answers
B. An Old Paper with New Key
C. David’s First Teacher—A Helpful Friend
D. David’s Old Teacher—A Man Full of Humour
这篇短文，包括问题在内，约160个词，按照读速的要求，你应该在三分钟内看完，然后回答这个抓大意的问题（正确答案为B）。如果你碰到生词就查字典，碰到难句就仔细分析，那就达不到上述要求。不少人在阅读中见到生词就查字典，见到难句、长句就作句法分析，结果是词义虽然弄懂了，句子结构也清楚了，但是整篇文章的大意或读物的主要情节 却还是弄不明白，这种“见木不见林”的弊病实在是阅读的一大禁忌。

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, "check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says " check mate (将死)". These words come from Persian (波斯人). It means "the king is dead". That is when the game is over, and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square(方块) at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be winner in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some people are able to play many people at the same time. One man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset (不高兴) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11p.m.. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually dinners start with drinks and snacks(快餐). Do you want to be extra (额外的)polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember-it's not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and the dessert(甜点), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British and American people like to say "thank you, thank you, thank you" all the time.

Do you ever have a dream of making your home a happier place to be? Maybe there are some points you will follow:
Sometimes you don't think your parents are fair to you. When you want to dress in a modern way, your mum doesn't like you wearing a mini-skirt. When you are making phone calls to friends, they ask if you're speaking to a boy or a girl. Sometimes it seems that you' re not as close to your parents as you used to be. How can you become close again?
"Closing the Gap" by American author Jay McGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship (3) with your parents. He gives ways to help you understand your parents. When you think "my parents don't want me to have any fun, " that usually means your parents want you to be safe. Both parents and children have needs. They need to feel they are important and loved.
You should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are. Then, you can think of a way to make all of you happy. He gives you some ideas:
1. Make time to talk. You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.
2. Keep a diary. This is to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.
3. Show your parents you are growing up. Wash your own clothes and help around the house.
Your parents will feel that you are no longer a small child.
If you follow these steps, slowly, you will be able to break down the walls between your parents and yourself.

At one time or another we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds.
No two clouds are ever alike. We can see the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds you should look for: movement, colour, and change.
As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. Fair-weather cumulus clouds (积云) are another sign of good weather. These are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If there is a sudden, cool and dark thunder (雷) cloud appears, then a storm is about to break out.
Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near.
The rainbow(彩虹) has a message, too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you.
( )1. According to this article, one way to understand the weather is to .
A. study the clouds
B. monitor the temperature every hour
C. watch the signs of the wind
D. note the changes in wet
( )2. High clouds usually suggest .

C. rainy weather D. windy weather
( )3. The colours of the rainbow come from .
A. sun rays shining through falling rain
B. dark thunder clouds in the sky
C. a golden ring around the moon
D. fair-weather cumulus clouds
( )4. Which of the following would be a good title for this article? .
A. The Story of Weather Forecast
B. Fine Weather and Bad Weather
C. Weather Changes
D. Different Kinds of Clouds
( )5. We may say, take the article as a whole knowledge, .
A. none of the clouds is the same
B. a storm is to come on soon after a sudden, cool and dark thunder cloud
C. the higher and cumulus clouds may be signs of warm weather

What is color? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?
Colors are really made by deflected (反射) light. We see color because most of the things reflect light. In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white. If it doesn’t reflect any light, it is black.
Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in (吸引) and turned into (变成) heat (热能).The darker the color is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sun than light-colored clothes.
( ) 1.When something reflects light, we can _____.
A. see its color B. see its heat C. not see its color D. see nothing
( ) 2.Something looks white because it reflects _____.

One day Mrs. Wilson went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.
“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said.” Help me check the prices, please.”
The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully after the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said,“ We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.”

The only thing we need to do is to use a modem which is used for connecting a computer to a telephone line. The Internet is changing and growing all the time.

Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers（设计师）.What happens when you click on a word or a picture? You are sent to another page. It’s all because of the web designer. Web designers do a lot of work by using a computer programming（程序编辑） language.

There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.
Marconl, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn’t know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travelers in out- of – the – way places, ships at sea even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.
Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised in color.
Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motor – car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!
