6)intheUniversityMallfeaturesreligiouspiecesbyitsnamesakeartist.”可知选C。1.语言特点:语言简练,就其用词来看,文章里有大量生僻的专有名词,如地名、人名、机构名、组织名、书
名、作品名等。2.结构特点:应用文主要用于传递信息,高考卷中所采用的应用文通常有两种行文方式。一种是文中的几则信息构成平行并列结构,即每一则信息中的项目及其位置有一致性和对应性,几则信息前有时会用一个段落对文章信息作整体上的说明;另一
种是针对某一主题分项、分条目地呈现信息,每个段落围绕小标题呈现某一方面的信息。3.答题误区:应用文阅读理解试题难度不大,故答题时要谨防过于草率。出错的原因有可能是看信息时看错位置,也有可能是为了追求速度只凭大致印象答题。因此
,做题时一定要看准信息并在文章中找出相关信息以确保万无一失。另外,不要一字不落地阅读全文,这样会浪费很多时间,而是应该有选择性地快速筛选和获取答题所需要的信息。4.阅读策略应用文阅读理解总体上要做到稳、准、快,在确保准确率的基础上提高阅读速
度,以节省时间。解题时,要做到:(1)快速浏览知主题。快速浏览加粗字体的标题、小标题或加下划线的语句等最重要的信息,以了解语篇提供的是哪方面的信息,并判定行文方式。(2)速读题干,跳读定位信息。接下来阅读每一道试题,根据题干定位信息区间,并在文章中找出答案或相关信息。在定位和寻找信息区间的时候
,可以充分利用加粗字体的标题、小标题、加下划线的语句等重要信息提高阅读和解题速度,如果每则信息的项目及其位置具有一致性和对应性,就可利用其一致性和对应性快速查找答案,查找信息时不一定要读完全文。(3)细读解题信息。最后,根据查找的相关信息,经过比对选项选出正确答案。文体分类练(二

章来进行提炼;文章大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开。2.答题误区:记叙文阅读理解题的易错点往往在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。解题时,一方面要依据文章的顺序和故事的发展弄清一系列事件的先后顺序以及它们之间
的逻辑关系,必要时可以对时间和事件进行排序;另一方面,还要根据人物的处境和描写、议论时所用的特定词语来准确把握人物的情感与态度,做到入情入境,特别要留意描写和议论时所用的形容词和副词。3.阅读策略:阅读记叙文应采取略读和扫读的方法,快速抓住文章的主要内容,从整体上把握文章的连贯性,进而大体上
揣测出作者的写作意图及文章的情感主线,然后阅读题干,在文章中查找相关的信息;最后根据查找到的相关信息作出正确的选择。如果文中所涉及的人物较多,还要弄清人物之间的关系。文体分类练(三)——说明文(限时28分钟)AWouldyou

明文的结构特点是客观、简练,文章很少表达作者的感情倾向。说明文通常采用以下结构形式:(1)总分式。事物说明文常用“总—分”式、“总—分—总”式和“分—总”式结构。(2)递进式。事理说明文常用这种结构形式,通常由浅入深、由表及里、由现象到本质,逐层递进,一层一层地剖析事理。(3)并列式。文章各
部分的内容没有主次轻重之分。(4)对照式。通过两个事物的比较和对照说明其异同。3.阅读策略说明文阅读量大,生僻词汇多,句式结构复杂,这就需要考生有方法、有技巧地去阅读。一般我们采用的方法有三种:细读、略读和跳读。(1)细读重点。重点,就原
文而言,就是文章的基本结构、主要内容和态度;就答题而言,就是问题所对应的题源句。以这个标准来衡量,需要重点阅读的原文词句就不会很多。宏观方面:文章结构;文章主题句;各段首末句;体现作者观点态度的词句。微观方面:有转折处;重要标点;句子主干。(2)有选择地略读或跳读。在快速浏览
了题干,初步把握文章大意及结构的基础上,可大胆地有选择地进行略读或跳读,这样不但可以加快阅读速度,还更容易总体把握全文。在阅读中可略读或跳读的内容包括:繁琐的例证为了说明问题,作者可能会借用形象的例子,有时候会比较繁琐,虽能说明问题,但读者需要花很多时间去阅读。如果例子所说明的问题不
明了,可通过略读来理解;若例子所说明的问题比较明了,则例子部分可一带而过。并列多项列举有时许多功能相同的项目并列列举,那么只读其中一两项即可,无需全读。无关大局的生僻词汇阅读中经常会遇到一些生词,如果这些生词对理解全文没有影响或影响不大就可
略过。较长的人名、地名有许多较长的表示人名、地名等的专有名词,阅读时可一扫而过或干脆用其首字母代替,不必试图把整个专有名词读出来。在略读过程中,要特别注意对解题有重要意义的词、句、段等,并将其用下划线标注出来,以免回头再查看时费时费力。文体分类

语言精练、论证合理,有严密的逻辑性,通常采用三段论式的结构,即“提出问题(引论)—分析问题(本论)—解决问题(结论)”。因此,要理解议论文有两个关键点,一是要弄清文章的论点是什么、采用了哪些论据、如何论证;二是要理
清其基本结构——三段论式结构。2.答题误区:议论文阅读理解题易错点往往在于事实与观点的区分以及观点本身。解题时,一要弄清哪些是所引述的事实,哪些是作者的观点以及引述中不同人物的观点;二要弄清作者真正的观点是什么,既要考虑全文,又要重视结论部分,谨防将文章中引述的某人的观点和作者的观点混为一谈。3.
阅读策略:在阅读解题时,应该从结构和内容两方面同时入手,先通读全文,再区分事实和观点。通常来说,议论文会采用三段论式结构。首段会通过一个故事或对某种现象的描述来引入话题,明确论点;接下来是文章的主体部分,会用两个或两个以上的段落引用事实和理论
论据进行论证,常用的论证方法有举例、引用和对比等,这一部分要注意作者所选用的论据,它们往往与细节理解题的考查点相对应,同时还要留意论证的方法;文章的最后一段是结论部分,要弄清作者最后得出了什么结论。在通读全文并了解文章的
结构和内容后再阅读试题,到文章中去找相对应的信息,比如事实、观点、作者真正的意图和结论等。
