中考英语题型讲义（广东地区）4.阅读理解（教师版+学生版）学案

这是一份中考英语题型讲义（广东地区）4.阅读理解（教师版+学生版）学案，文件包含专题4阅读理解答案全解全析doc、专题4阅读理解doc、专题4阅读理解doc等3份学案配套教学资源，其中学案共51页， 欢迎下载使用。
阅读理解的选择题可以分为以下几种题型：
1.细节理解题；2.词义猜测题；3.推理判断题；4.归纳概括题 (主旨大意题)；5.计算理解题。
本大题包括A、B、C三篇难度适当的短文，每篇短文生词率不超过3%。其中A篇阅读是属于比较实用的表格、图表或配有图片的文章，多为细节理解题。B篇阅读是考查学生能力的短文，其中有两小题有点难度，可能会涉及文章的标题 (title)、主题 (main idea)、结论 (cnclusin)、结局 (ending) 等有关问题。C篇为配对阅读，学生需把左栏的信息与右栏的信息进行配对，也属于细节理解题。
一、细节性问题
此类题型最常出现，一般先读题，带着问题去阅读，通常可以在原文原句中找到答案，此时最好把要点用笔画出来，以免粗心而出错。或者可以通读全文，在理解文章大意后便可找到答案。
二、推理判断题、主旨大意题和词义猜测题
1．推理判断题：先找出信息源，对照选项进行 “三对一错或三错一对” 的判断；推理判断题的干扰项的特点：部分正确，部分错误；是原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容；符合常识，但不是文章内容；与原句的内容极为相似，只是在程度上有些变动。忌片面思考，尤其是由某一句话而得出片面的结论。
记住一个原则：过于绝对 (all, nly, always, never, certainly) 都是不对的。计算题也是推理判断题中常见的形式，此类试题要经过具体的计算才能够得出正确的答案。具体的计算题可以是对价格的计算、月份的计算或比例的计算等。文章中经常会出现许多数字，它们对解题产生一定的影响。解答此类试题的方法是先理解文章的大意，然后经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确答案。
2．主旨大意题：解这种题目时，不能只信文中的只言片语而断章取义，不要以偏概全 (如把文章出现的某一观点当做整篇文章的观点)，或者概括性不够 (把文章某一部分的中心句当作全文的主旨)，或者概括过度，超出了文章的内容。
3．词义猜测题：解答这类题目时需要对有关的上下文，甚至整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解才能做出正确答案。有时，命题者为了使他意思表达得更清楚明白，通常用一个同义词、近义词或英文解释来说明此文章中一个比较难的词或关键词，因此其中就有可能为我们熟悉的单词或解释，用已知的知识，就不难推断出生词的词义来。
有时，中考中用指代性的代词，如it, they, she, he以及其宾格形式来指代前面所出现的名词，因此涉及此类题目时，我们更要认真细心地找准前面的名词。

Animals can mve frm place t place, but plants cannt. When an animal is under attack, it can run away r fight back. Plants certainly cannt run away, and they have n teeth r claws. But plants can prtect themselves in bth physical and chemical ways.
Sme plants have their wn ways t keep animals away. Fr example, the leaves f the hlly(冬青) have sharp prickles(刺) that discurage grass-eating animals.

Many plants als have chemical defenses. Sme plants prduce chemicals that taste bitter(苦) r cause an unpleasant reactin. Sme plants may fight against an attack by increasing the prductin f these chemicals. When a wrm bites a tbacc leaf (烟叶), the leaf prduces a chemical smell. Many plants depend n bth physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, fr instance, has prickly leaves, and each prickle has pisnus water(毒液).

It may be hard t believe, but the American Revlutin(革命)—the war that freed the American states frm British cntrl — began ver a cup f tea. Tea was nt the nly thing that caused the war, f curse, but it played a very big part.
The British peple's lve f tea is well­knwn. When the British wn cntrl ver much f Nrth America in the early 1700s, they brught their tea­drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the cntinent's mst ppular drink. As tea culd nt be grwn lcally, just as in Britain, it was shipped int the cuntry — mstly frm India.
In the early 1700s, the British gvernment made a special deal with the East India Cmpany, an English trading cmpany. They agreed that n ther cmpany was allwed t bring tea t Britain r any cuntry cntrlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal fr the East India Cmpany, since it meant that the cmpany culd decide whatever price it wanted fr its prducts. And it always decided n a high price!
In Nrth America, the lcal peple did nt like having t pay such high prices. Instead f verpaying fr tea frm the British, they turned t Dutch traders, wh secretly brught tea t the cuntry that was just as gd — and much less expensive. Althugh this brke the law, the American peple didn't care. They gt the same cup f tea at a much lwer price.
The East India Cmpany, hwever, didn't like this at all. By the 1760s, they were lsing millins f punds each year t Dutch traders — a huge amunt f mney in a time when ￡60 a year was cnsidered a gd incme. Instead f reducing their prices t cmpete with the Dutch, the cmpany asked the British gvernment fr help and the gvernment agreed.
In 1767, the British intrduced new laws that increased the prices f all gds which were brught int America. These laws helped make the East India Cmpany even richer and frced lcal peple t pay much mre fr everything. The American leaders asked the British gvernment nt t d s, but the British refused t listen. These unfair laws increased Americans' anger abut British rule and the rest, as they say, is histry.
