② 高難度英語閱讀作文技巧
1、統一性
一個段落內的各個句子必須從屬於一個中心,任何游離於中心思想之外的句子都是不可取的。請看下例:
Joe and I decided to take the long trip we'd always wanted across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico.
本段的主題句是段首句,controlling idea(中心思想)是take the long trip across the country。文中出現兩個irrelevant sentences,一個是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie,這一段是講的是Joe and I ,中間出現一個Bella是不合適的。還有,Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner這一句更是與主題句不相關。再看一個例子:
My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet program. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitcases last week. Everyday I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby.
本段的controlling idea 是like to deep physically fit,但段中有兩個irrelevant sentences,一個是I bought two new suitcases last week,另一個是My mother was a premature baby。
從上面兩個例子可以看出,native speakers同樣會造出來irrelevant sentences。卷面上如果這種句子多了,造成偏題或離題,那問題就更嚴重了。
2、完整性
正象我們前面說得那樣,一個段落的主題思想靠推展句來實現,如果只有主題句而沒有推展句來進一步交待和充實,就不能構成一個完整的段落。同樣,雖然有推展句,但主題思想沒有得到相對圓滿的交待,給讀者一種意猶未盡的感覺。這樣的段落也不能完成其交際功能。例如:
Physical work can be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to work —— you proce something rather than more anxiety or depression.
本段的主題句是段首句。本段的兩個推展句均不能回答主題句中提出的問題。什麼是「a mind in turmoil」(心境不平靜)Physical work又如何能改變這種情況?為什麼它能起therapy的作用?讀者得不到明確的答案。因此,要達到完整就必須盡可能地簡明。例如:
It is not always true that a good picture is worth a thousand words. Often writing is much clearer than a picture. It is sometimes difficult to figure out what a picture means, but a careful writer can almost always explain it.
段首句所表達的主題思想是一種看法,必須有具體事例加以驗證。上述兩個推展句只是在文字上對主題作些解釋,整個段落內容空洞,簡而不明。如果用一兩個具體的例子的話,就可以把主題解釋清楚了。比如下段:
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, pictures are pretty useless things. If you can't swim and fall in the river and start gulping water, will you be better off to hold up a picture of yourself drowning, or start screaming "Help"?
3、連貫性(coherence)
連貫性包括意連和形連兩個方面,前者指的是內在的邏輯性,後者指的是使用轉換詞語。當然這兩者常常是不可分割的。只有形連而沒有意連,句子之間就沒有內在的有機的聯系;反之,只有意連而沒有形連,有時行文就不夠流暢。
1)、意連
段落中句子的排列應遵循一定的次序,不能想到什麼就寫什麼。如果在下筆之前沒有構思,邊寫邊想,寫寫停停,那就寫不出一氣呵成的好文章來。下面介紹幾種常見的排列方式。
A.按時間先後排列(chronological arrangement)
We had a number of close calls that day. When we rose, it was obviously late and we had to hurry so as not to miss breakfast; we knew the dining room staff was strict about closing at nine o'clock. Then, when we had been driving in the desert for nearly two hours —— it must have been close to noon —— the heat nearly hid us in; the radiator boiled over and we had to use most of our drinking water to cool it down. By the time we reached the mountain, it was our o'clock and we were exhausted. Here, judgement ran out of us and we started the tough climb to the summit, not realizing that darkness came suddenly in the desert. Sure enough, by six we were struggling and Andrew very nearly went down a steep cliff, dragging Mohammed and me along with him. By nine, when the wind howled across the flat ledge of the summit, we knew as we shivered together for warmth that it had not been our lucky day.
本段從「rose」(起床)寫起,然後是吃早餐(「not to miss breakfast」, 「closing at nine o'clock」),然後是「close to noon」,一直寫到這一天結束(「By nine——」)。
B. 按位置遠近排列(spatial arrangement)。例如:
From a distance, it looked like a skinny tube, but as we got closer, we could see it flesh out before our eyes. It was tubular, all right, but fatter than we could see from far away. Furthermore, we were also astonished to notice that the building was really in two parts: a pagoda sitting on top of a tubular one-story structure. Standing ten feet away, we could marvel at how much of the pagoda was made up of glass windows. Almost everything under the wonderful Chinese roof was made of glass, unlike the tube that it was sitting on, which only had four. Inside, the tube was gloomy, because of the lack of light. Then a steep, narrow staircase took us up inside the pagoda and the light changed dramatically. All those windows let in a flood of sunshine and we could see out for miles across the flat land.
本段的寫法是由遠及近,從遠處(「from a distance」)寫起,然後「get closer」,再到(「ten feet away」),最後是「inside the pagoda」……當然,按位置遠近來寫不等於都是由遠及近。根據需要,也可以由近及遠,由表及裡等等。
C. 按邏輯關系排列(logical arrangement)
a. 按重要性順序排列(arrangement in order of importance)
If you work as a soda jerker, you will, of course, not need much skill in expressing yourself to be effective. If you work on a machine, your ability to express yourself will be of little importance. But as soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or the written word. And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large business organization, whether it is the government, the large corporation, or the Army, this ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a man can possess.
這一段談的是表達能力,它的重要性與職業,身份有關,從「not need much skill」或「of little importance」到「more important」,最後是「most important」。
b.由一般到特殊排列(general-to-specific arrangement)
If a reader is lost, it is generally because the writer has not been careful enough to keep him on the path. This carelessness can take any number of forms. Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking his way through the verbiage, simply doesn't know what it means. Perhaps a sentence has been so shoddily constructed that the reader could read it in any of several ways. Perhaps the writer has switched tenses, or has switched pronouns in mid-sentence, so the reader loses track of when the action took place or who is talking. Perhaps sentence B is not logical sequel to sentence A —— the writer, in whose head the connection is clear, has not bothered to provide the missing link. Perhaps the writer has used an important word incorrectly by not taking the trouble to look it up. He may think that "sanguine" and "sanguinary" mean the same thing, but the difference is a bloody big one. The reader can only infer what the writer is trying to imply.
這一段談的是a writer's carelessness,先給出一個general statement作為主題句,然後通過5個 」perhaps」加以例證。
c. 由特殊到一般排列(specific-to-general arrangement)
I do not understand why people confuse my Siamese cat, Prissy, with the one I had several years ago, Henry. The two cats are only alike in breed. Prissy, a quiet, feminine feline, loves me dearly but not possessively. She likes to keep her distance from people, exert her independence and is never so rude as to beg, lick, or sniff unceremoniously. Her usual posture is sitting upright, eyes closed, perfectly still. Prissy is a very proper cat. Henry, on the other hand, loved me dearly but possessively. He was my shadow from morning till night. He expected me to constantly entertain him. Henry never cared who saw him do anything, whether it was decorous or not, and he usually offended my friends in some way. The cat made himself quite comfortable, on the top of the television, across stranger's feet or laps, in beds, drawers, sacks, closets, or nooks. The difference between them is imperceptible to strangers.
本段的主題句是段首句,它僅提出一個問題:為什麼兩只貓會被搞混。然後對兩者進行比較,末句才下結論。
2)、形連
行文的邏輯性常常要靠適當的轉換詞語及其他手段來實現。請讀下面這一段文字並找出文中用以承上啟下的詞語:
Walter's goal in life was to become a successful surgeon. First, though, he had to get through high school, so he concentrated all his efforts on his studies —— in particular, biology, chemistry, and math. Because he worked constantly on these subjects, Walter became proficient in them; however, Walter forgot that he needed to master other subjects besides those he had chosen. As a result, ring his junior year of high school, Walter failed both English and Latin. Consequently, he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graate on schele. Finally, on June 6, Walter achieved the first step toward realizing his goal.
本文中起承上啟下的詞語有兩種,一種是轉換詞語(transitional words or phrases),另一種是起轉換作用的其他連接手段(linking devices)。前者依次有:first, though, so, in particular, and, because, however, besides, as a result, both…and, consequently, and, finally.後者依次是:he, he, his, his, he, these, them, he, those, his, he, these, his. 本段中共有詞彙105個,所使用的轉換詞語及其他連接用語共26個詞,約占該段總詞彙量的四分之一。由此可見,掌握好transitions不僅對行文的流(smoothness)有益,而且對於學生在半個小時內寫120個詞也是不無好處的。
③ 哪位高手幫我翻譯一下呀,大學英語B里的一道閱讀理解。統考怎麼出這么難的文章
這篇閱讀理解(以你貼上來的為准),中心句是some psychologists believe that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone,but that one's muscles also participate。大概意思是說,有的回心理學家認為,像「思答考」這樣的心理活動並不只在大腦中發生,肌肉(身體其他部分)也參與其中。後面是支持性細節,舉了指揮家的例子,意在驗證這個說法,是次要的。結尾句是首句的加強,並表示身體在心裡活動過程中的參與性並不顯著(不是說沒有)。

⑤ 高三了..英語的閱讀理解和完形填空的難度都大大提高了..我英語不好.該怎麼辦..
完形填空 完形先完義
解完形填空題的步驟:1)整體瀏覽抓住主題:在做完形填空題前,首先要整體瀏覽,對全文快速閱讀一遍,了解文章的大意,掌握文章的主題,並留心文中的關鍵詞,了解這篇短文說什麼,發生的時間、地點、文章的寫作目的、作者的觀點與態度等,這對於做好完形填空題能起到事半功倍的效果。2)再讀全篇試填答案:讀第二遍就顯得很有必要,這樣就可以使考生對短文有更好的把握。在讀第二遍時,對於一眼就能看出的答案,不必糾纏,馬上就填入,對於那些看看有點像,但沒有把握的答案,可以開始試填,待看完第二遍時,再來看看試填的答案,如發現不對可以馬上糾正。3)瞻前顧後尋找關聯:完形填空題的特點是基於整個語篇的理解,不從單句入手,有時如果從某一個單句來理解,四個選項都可以填入,但從整個語篇來看,答案只有一個。在做題目的時候,首先要對空格前後的句子,然後對該空格相應的選項進行全面分析。4)完形完義立足全局:做完形填空有兩個程序:一是完形(選擇選項,填補空白);二是完義(閱讀短文,理解短文)。完形必須在完義的基礎上進行,也就是說首先要在閱讀理解短文的基礎上做好完形。完形必須服從完義,單句必須服從段落,段落必須服從全文,局部必須服從全局。我們在做完形填空時,不能讀一句做一句,更不能一看到就填,這樣往往要出差錯。先從整體到局部完義,再從局部到整體完形,完形完義,立足全局。5)復讀全文驗證答案:我們做完形填空題的最後一道工序就是「復讀全文驗證答案」。題目做完以後,我們要把『完形』後的全文再讀一遍,看看是否『完義』,檢查自己對全文的理解是否准確,情節發展是否合理,全文前後上下是否符合邏輯,驗證自己完形的答案是否能使全文貫通流暢,如果讀起來流暢而通順,說明既完形又完義。
高考完形填空有兩篇短文共20題,第一篇一般比較容易,瀏覽一遍全文後就可以開始做了,建議在6-7分鍾內完成;第二篇難度較大,因此需要三道工序:瀏覽全文,開始試填,復讀驗證,建議用10-12分鍾完成。
閱讀理解把握考點
同學們在閱讀訓練時,要了解高考閱讀理解題的考核點:1)細節與事實;2)代詞的指代;3)詞義猜測;4)作者的觀點與態度;5)推理理解;6)全文的中心思想;7)全文結構;8)寫作目的;9)隱含意義;10)上下文的聯系。
做好閱讀要有一定的速度,否則就完不成閱讀任務。2005年秋季高考上海試題共有5篇閱讀短文,共2269個詞(短文詞量與試題詞量之總和),按照高考要求,學生必須能以80-100wpm(wpm:每分鍾閱讀詞數)讀懂材料,也就是說把5篇短文讀一遍至少需要20-25分鍾。如果考生不能在35-40分鍾內完成閱讀理解題的答題,那就勢必影響其它題目的解答。要達到這個速度,需要經過一番艱苦的訓練。提高速度要有個過程,要經過有指導的訓練,學生才能達到一定的速度。因此,我建議同學們要有計劃地訓練自己。開始做閱讀的時候以50-60wpm速度進行,經過一段時間的訓練,爭取提高到70-80wpm,到高考時達到80-100wpm。高考閱讀理解題共有5篇短文,A,B,C,D四篇是從易到難排列的,做題時前3篇每篇必須在6-7分鍾內完成,D篇是從英語國家最新出版的報刊雜志或互連網上選來的,難度最大,建議用10-15分鍾解決問題;閱讀理解中的第5篇短文是新題型,其測試目的是:1)測試考生歸納文章大意的能力;2)測試考生閱讀速度;3)測試考生的閱讀技巧(如:根據上下文猜測詞義)。新題型對歸納文章大意的能力要求不是很高,但對閱讀技巧和速度有較高要求,因次建議在5分鍾之內結束。
⑥ 初中英語閱讀理解如何拿高分英語中最難的莫過於閱讀理解,整篇文章看著都令人膽戰心驚,有時文中還會出
多背背單詞,遇到這種題目,把重要的單詞、句子找到,遇到不會的,盡量從文中找到答案,真不會,就有排除法,盡量保證一些基礎題對。真不會,就留到最後想。以免時間不夠,還有好多沒寫。
⑦ 有什麼高難度的英文閱讀材料
美國的建國文檔 美國開國元勛們寫的演講稿以及文章。裡面有很多非常不錯的表達
而且很多英文原著的原版語言也非常優美,我個人比較recommend
⑧ 有什麼地方能閱讀大量的文章且出現頻率很高的英語單詞,逐步出現難的單詞,這樣,還有口語經常用到的單詞
新概念英語上的閱讀文章就很經典,單詞也很實用,而且難度逐步加強,口語經常使用
⑨ 關於蘇聯的英語文章,不要太難,高二左右水平差不多。最好是閱讀。大概四五百詞
俄羅斯紀念1991年8月的未遂政變20周年,那場未遂政變加速了蘇聯的解體。
1991年8月19日,幾名共產黨強硬派人士軟禁了在克里米亞度假的蘇聯領導人戈爾巴喬夫。他們的目的是阻止這位克里姆林宮的負責人實施廣泛的政治和經濟改革計劃,其中包括給聯盟內的各加盟共和國更大的自治權。
政變發生的幾個小時之內,數以萬計的民眾聚集到莫斯科的俄羅斯政府總部周圍。當時俄羅斯總統葉利欽站在一輛坦克上講話譴責發動政變者。三天後政變失敗,戈爾巴喬夫返回莫斯科。
幾個星期內,愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞和立陶宛紛紛宣布脫離蘇聯。在俄國革命後建立的蘇維埃社會主義聯盟在經歷了不到75年的時間後最終在1991年12月全面解體。
直到今天,俄羅斯人仍然對蘇聯解體以及隨後出現的經濟、政治混亂局面所持的看法。
Russia is marking the 20th anniversary of the failed coup attempt that hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union.
On August 19, 1991, a small group Communist hardliners placed Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev under house arrest at his vacation home in the Crimea. Their aim was to block the Kremlin chief's program of broad political and economic reforms, including allowing greater autonomy for the Soviet republics.
Within hours, thousands of people gathered around Russian government headquarters in Moscow, where Russian President Boris Yeltsin stood atop a tank to denounce the coup plotters.
The coup collapsed three days later and Mr. Gorbachev returned to Moscow.
Within weeks, the republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania seceded from the Soviet Union. The entire U.S.S.R. ( - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - ) was dissolved in December, less than 75 years after the Russian Revolution brought the communist state into existence.
To this day, Russians remain deeply divided over the Soviet collapse and the economic and political chaos that followed.
⑩ 高中英語的較難科普閱讀理解該怎樣處理
一般都是先看題目來,對題目有源個大致方向。
然後快速瀏覽一遍文章,因為科普說明文難度大,專有名詞多,但是文章脈絡很清晰,理解難度不大,所以只要瀏覽一遍,把握住中心思想。
說明文的選擇題大多為細節理解題,所以要帶著題目去文章中找答案,每一個選項一一對應,在文章中畫出來。
差不多就是這些了。
但是這個方法只針對說明文科普文,別的類型的文章還是需要搞懂文章大意再去做題目。
