考点37阅读理解议论文高考频度:★★★★★议论文是英语中的重要文体,在每年的高考阅读理解中占有一定的比例。议论文就是说理性的文章,一般由论点、论据和论证过程组成。议论文都要提出论题、观点、提供充分的证据,使用一定的逻辑方法证明观点或得出结论。议论文的写法通常有以下三
种形式:写法一:正方(甲方),反方(乙方),我认为……写法二:提出问题,分析问题,解决问题。写法三:论点,理由(证据),重申论点。议论文的内容涵盖文化、历史、文学、科学和教育等各个方面。在这类体裁的文章中把握好论点、论据和论证很重要。此类体裁的文章中有关主旨大意和推理判断的题目会较多,这
也是得分比较难的题型。在阅读这类文章的时候,我们要认真把握作者的态度,领悟弦外之音,从而更好地依据文章的事实做出合理的推断。注意事项:1.避免读得太快,做题靠印象和直觉。(要求每一道题回到原文去找答案)2.要先看题目
,后读文章。(与先读文章,后看题目的比较)高考材料阅读方法:先通读全文,重点读首段、各段的段首段尾句,然后其他部分可以略读,再审题定位,比较选项,选出答案。要有把握文章的宏观结构、中心句的能力。3.阅读中需要特别注意并做记号的有:
(1)标志类、指示类的信息。①表示并列关系:and,also,coupledwith等;②表示转折关系:but,yet,however,bycontrast等;③表示因果关系:therefore,thereby,consequently,asaresult等;④表示递进关系:inad
ditionto,even,what’smore,furthermore等;⑤表示重要性的词:prime,aboveall,first等。以上关键词有助于我们对文章逻辑结构的把握。(2)具有感情色彩、显示作者态度的词:blind盲
目的(贬),excessively过分的(贬),objective(客观)等。4.常见问题:(1)读不懂怎么?问题本身太空泛,应该仔细分析问题到底在哪儿。首先要能意识到自身问题所在。unconsciousincompetent(无意识无能力)属于问题认知的第一阶段;conscio
usincompetent(有意识无能力)属于问题认知的第二阶段;consciouscompetent(有意识有能力)属于问题认知的第三阶段;unconsciouscompetent(无意识有能力)属于问题认知的第四阶段。从认知的第三阶段达到第四阶段,是一
个反复熟练的过程。(2)读懂了文章之后还做错题怎么办?(3)做完了一遍不愿意看第二遍怎么办?(4)做题技巧用不上怎么办?能够不由自主地按照正确的思路解题了,才表明我们正确掌握了这些技巧。在课堂听明白之后,还需
要回去自己思考,针对自己的实际进行分析,从而对症下药。【命题分析】议论说理类文章就是议论文,是高考阅读理解题中一种较难的题目。议论说理类文章具有以下特点:1.题材多样化、知识化,它包括社会科学的多种领域,以及和自然科学交叉学科,体现以人为本的特点。具体说来:(1)一般按提出
问题、分析问题、解决问题的方法写作。作者一般从日常生活中的热点问题、社会上的重大问题、与读者息息相关的问题入手,即提出问题。然后,分析利弊,举例说明,推理判断,即分析问题。最后,阐述观点,提出办法,即解决问题。(2)以作者的观点或情感为核心,对细节推理等方面进行考
查。(3)文章的主题一般是生活中的热点问题、重大问题或与生活息息相关的问题等。2.侧重考查学生对文章深层意义的理解。通常情况下,深层理解题占多数,这就要求学生读议论文时,不能仅限于对文章的表层理解,只抓一些事实细节,而且要注重对文章的意图、作者的观点以及内在逻辑联系的审视。3.深层理解题
的主要表现形式:(1)主旨性题目:此类题常针对文章主题、中心思想、标题或作者的写作意图,通常有以下提问方式:a.Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?b.Thetextismainlyabout_________.c.
Fromthepassageweknowthat_________.d.Themainideaoftheparagraphis_________.e.Thewriter’spurposeofwritingthistextis_________.f.Thepas
sagecouldbetitled_________.g.Thepassagedealswith_________.h.What’sthesubjectdiscussedinthetext?(2)推理判断题:此题主要考查学生对文
章内在逻辑联系的把握,通常有以下出题方式:a.回答对why和how的提问。b.Accordingtothetext,whichofthestatementsistrue/wrong?c.Fromthetext,we
caninferthat_________.d.Wherecanthistextbeselectedfrom?e.Whatcanyouimaginewillbedealtwith/writteninthefollowingpassag
e?f.以短语accordingtothewriterofthetext或inthewriter’sopinion等引出的其他问题。(3)词义猜测题:判断词义的词可能有四种情况,一是词未学过,二是词已学过,但在该
篇中不是已学过的词义,三是某个代词it或them在文中指代什么,四是某句话的意思。【应试策略】议论文体阅读理解题的应对策略解答议论类阅读理解试题,可以从以下几个方面着手考虑:作者在开始叙述一个现象,然后对现象进行解释。这类文章的主题是文中最重要的解释或作者所强调的解释,阅读时要注意作者给出的原因,
所以又被称为原因—结果(Cause&Effect)型。还有一种比较常见的是问题—答案型,作者在一开始或一段末以问句提出一个问题(相当于一个现象),然后给出该问题的答案(相当于解释)。针对文中问题给出的主要答案就是这种文章的中心。这里强调一点,答题时优先考虑正面答题(直接从文章内容得出答案),
然后从中心、态度或利用解答特征等其他角度对选项进行检验;如果从文章内容中直接无法解决,则从中心和态度方面考虑;次之,从解答特征方面考虑。考生往往最怕此类体裁。山穷水尽时,记住:首先从整体上把握文章中心和作者所持的态度,
靠近中心的就是答案。解题方法:1.把握文章的论点、论据和论证。此外,还要把握文章的结构和语言。2.互推法:在议论之后,总会再列举一些具体的例子来支持观点或在一些例子之后,总要抒发一些议论。考生在理解议论时,可以借助文中所给的实例,从而在形象
的例子中推理出抽象的议论;或从议论中推理理解具体例子的深刻含义,相互推断。3.推理法:推理的结论一定是原文有这层意思,但没有明确表达的。推理要根据文章的字面意思,通过语篇、段落和句子之间的逻辑关系,各个信息所暗示和隐含的意义,作者的隐含意等对文章进行推理判断。考生要由文
字的表层信息挖掘出文章的深层含义,要能透过现象看本质。二、解题技巧历年全国高考英语阅读理解的题型无非基本都是考查主旨大意、词义猜测、推理判断和细节理解四大题型。其中,命题以细节理解题为主,推理判断题为辅,又兼顾词义猜测题和主旨大意题
。细节理解题和推理判断题主要考查的是对原文具体细节的理解和把控能力,难度相对较小,广大考生除了平时必要的阅读量和词汇量的积累以外,掌握一定的解题技巧对解答阅读理解题来说也是至关重要的。具体说来:1.主旨大意型
干扰项可能是文中某个具体事实或细节。干扰项可能是从文中某些(不完全的)事实或细节片面推出的错误结论。干扰项可能是非文章事实的主观臆断。正确答案根据文章全面理解而归纳概括出来;不能太笼统、言过其实或以偏概全。主旨大意题主要考查学生把握全文主题和理解中心思想的能力。根据多
年的备考及高考实践,这类题目考查的范围是:基本论点、文章标题、主题或段落大意等。它要求考生在理解全文的基础上能较好地运用概括、判断、归纳、推理等逻辑思维方法,对文章进行高度概括或总结,属于高层次题。选择"主题"旨在考查考生是否掌握了所读文章的
主要内容或主旨,通常用词、短语或句子来概括。常见的提问方式有:1.Whatisthemain/generalideaofthistext?2.Whatismainlydiscussedinthispassage?3.Whatisthetextmainl
yabout?4.Thistextmainlytellsus_________.5.Thispassagemainlydealswith_________.6.Themainideaofthispassagemaybebestexpressedas_______
__.7.Thetopicofthispassageis_________.标题选择题则是让考生给所读的文章选择一个合适的标题。通常标题由一个名词或名词短语充当,用词简短、精练。常见的提问方式有:1.Whatwouldbethebestt
itleforthetext?2.Whichofthefollowingisthebest/mostsuitabletitleforthistext?3.Thebest/mostsuitabletitleforthistextwouldbe__________.不管是选择"主题"还是选择"标题
",实质上都是要求考生从整体上理解语篇内容,找出贯穿语篇的主线;不管是何种体裁的文章,都是围绕一个主题来展开的。在试题设计上,3个干扰项的内容一般在文章里或多或少都有涉及,但并非主要内容,需要注意甄别。2.事实细节型细节理解题主要
考查考生对文章中某些细节或重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语意理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩,从阅读材料中可以找到。这种题难度低,只要考生读懂文章,就能得分,属于低层次题。做此类题时可以使用定位法与跳读法。定位法即根据题干和选
项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位),然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换),从而选出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文,并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落,然后进行简单分析、推理等,从而找出正确答案。(1)解题原则:忠实于原文
上下文及全篇的逻辑关系,决不能主观臆断。文章中心是论点,事实细节是论据或主要理由;有关细节问题常对文中某个词语、某句子、某段落等细节及事实进行提问,所提问题一般可直接或间接在文章中找到答案。提问的特殊疑问词常有:what,who,which,where,how,why等
。在阅读理解中,要求查找主要事实和特定细节的问题常有以下几种命题方式:①Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?②Whichofthefollowingisnotmentionedinthet
ext?③Theauthor(orthepassage)statesthat__________.④Accordingtothepassage,when(where,why,how,who,what,which,etc.)__________?(2)干扰项:范围过大、过小;偷
换概念;正误并存,某个分句是正确的。阅读理解中细节理解题的干扰项的设置有以下几个原则:①包含项原则在答案选项分析中,假如对A选项的理解概括了对其他三项(或其中某一项)的理解,那么我们就说选项A与其他三项是包含或概括关系,包含项A往往就是正确答案。
如在"花"与"玫瑰"两选项中,正确答案肯定是"花",花包含了玫瑰。②正反项原则所谓正反项,是指两选项陈述的命题完全相矛盾。两个相互矛盾的陈述不能都是假的,其中必有一真。所以,假如四选项中A、B互为正反项,那我们通常先排除C、D项,正确答案一般在A、B项当中。③
委婉项原则所谓委婉,这里是指说话不能说死,要留有余地。阅读理解选项中语气平和、委婉的往往是正确答案。这些选项一般含有不十分肯定或试探性语气的表达,如:probably,possibly,may,usually,might,mostof,more
orless,relatively,belikelyto,notnecessary,although,yet,inaddition,tendto等等,而含有绝对语气的表达往往不是正确答案,如:must,always,never,all,every,any,merely,only,comp
letely,none,hardly,already等等。④同形项原则命题者往往先将正确答案设置在一个大命题范围,然后通过语言形式的细微变化来考查考生的理解能力与分析能力。同形项原则告诉我们:词汇与句法结构相似的选项中有正确答案的存在。⑤常
识项原则议论文中,那些符合一般常识、意义深刻富有哲理、符合一般规律、属于普遍现象的往往是正确答案。⑥因果项原则阅读理解的逻辑推理基本都是通过因果链进行的,前因后果,一步步循序渐进。然而,在推理题的选项中,有的选项会推理不到位(止于前因
),或者推理过头(止于后果),这就是所谓的干扰项。因果项原则启示我们:假如四个选项中有两项互为同一事物推理过程中的因果关系,那么正确答案就是两个因果项中的其中之一。如果因项可产生几个结果,那么答案就是因;如果果项可以对应几个原因,那么答案就
是果。解题方法:原文定位法。查读法:(1)带着问题找答案,把注意力集中在与who,what,when,where问题有关的细节上。(2)细心!3.词义猜测型阅读理解的测试中经常有猜测词、短语、习语、句子意义的题目,近几年高考阅读中词义猜测题的考查方法呈多样化,其中根据上下文语境推测词义将会越
来越多。有时短文中出现一个需猜测其意义的词或短语,后文接着会出现其定义、解释或例子,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。除此之外,我们还可以根据转折或对比关系进行判断:根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的
含义来确定另一句的含义。另外,分号(;)也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。还可以根据因果关系进行判断。俗话说,"有因必有果,有果必有因"。根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。当然了,这些词、短语、习语要么是生词,要么是熟词新义,单靠平时积累是不够的
,还要掌握以下做题技巧。(1)根据构词法(转化、合成、派生)进行判断。(2)根据文中的定义、事例、解释猜生词。用事例或解释猜生词;用重复解释的信息猜生词。(3)根据上下文的指代关系进行选择。文章中的代词it
,that,he,him或them可以指上文提到的人或物,其中it和that还可以指一件事。(4)根据转折或对比关系进行判断。根据上下句的连接词如but,however,otherwise等可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。(5)根据因果关系
进行判断。俗话说,"有因必有果,有果必有因"。根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。(6)根据同位关系进行判断。阅读中有时出现新词、难词,后面跟着一个同位语,对前面的词进行解释。(7)利用标点符号和提示词猜测词义。分号还可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义;破折
号表示解释说明。常见的问题形式有:(1)Theword"…"inLine…means/canbebestreplacedby…(2)Asusedinthepassage,thephrase"…"sugge
sts…(3)Fromthepassage,wecaninferthattheword/phrase/thesentence"…"is/refersto/means…(4)Theword"…"isclosestinmeaningto…常用应对方法:同义法:
常在词或短语之间有并列连词and或or,它们连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的,由此可以推测词义。反义法:如hotandcold,giveandreceive等,或前句为肯定,后句为否定。总之,互为反义的词与词间都起着互为线索的作用。释义法:对
文章中的生词用定语(从句)、表语,甚至用逗号、破折号等标点符号引出并加以解释说明。此外,还有情景推断法、代词替代法等。做题要领(1)从文中找线索或信息词;(2)根据熟悉的词及词义判断新词的意思;(3)根据上下文判断新词在特定句中的
确切意思。(4)要特别注意熟词新意!4.推理判断型做题要领:既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章的隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作出正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度考虑而不是固守自己的看法。常见的命题方

奇心和不满足。51.推理判断题。根据第一段内容Afteryearsofobservinghumannature,Ihavedecidedthattwoqualitiesmakethedifferencebetweenme
nofgreatachievementandmenofaverageperformancecuriosityanddiscontent.Ihaveneverknownanoutstandingmanwholackedeithe
r.AndIhaveneverknownanaveragemanwhohadboth.Thetwobelongtogether.可知,作者经过多年对人性的观察,认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足,而且两者是相辅相成的。由此推知,作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D
。52.推理判断题。根据第二段中的LikeGalileo,allthegreatnamesinhistorywerecuriousandaskedindiscontent,“Why?Why?Why?”可知,像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不
满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”由此推知,伽利略的例子告诉我们,伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。53.细节理解题。根据第二段中的LikeGalileo,allthegreatnamesinhistorywerecuriousandaskedindiscontent,“Why?Why?Why?
”及第四段中的“Thegreatman,”saidMencius(孟子),“ishewhodoesnotlosehischild’sheart.”Yetmostofusdoloseit.Westopaskingquestions.Westopcha
llengingcustom.Wejustfollowthecrowd.可知,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”孟子认为“不失去孩子的心,就是伟大的人。”然而,我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问
问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流。由此可知,你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑,来重新获得好奇心和不满。故选B。54.推理判断题。根据第六段中的Howsheisoneoftheexperts,writi
ngbooksonflowerarrangement.及第七段中的Youhaven’tanyspecialability?Mostpeopledon’t;thereareonlyafewgeniuses.Youhaven’
tanytime?That’sgood,becauseit’salwaysthepeoplewithnotimewhogetthingsdone.以及列举了ThomasCostain在57岁时出版了他的第一部小说,G
randmaMoses在78岁时展示了她的第一批照片。由此可知,这两段想告诉我们“缺乏天赋和时间不是不采取行动的理由”。故选C。55.主旨大意题。根据第一段内容Afteryearsofobservinghumannature,Ihavedecidedthattwoqualiti
esmakethedifferencebetweenmenofgreatachievementandmenofaverageperformancecuriosityanddiscontent.Ihaveneverknownanou
tstandingmanwholackedeither.AndIhaveneverknownanaveragemanwhohadboth.Thetwobelongtogether.及下文论述可知,本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。由此可知,C项
TheKeystoAchievement(成就的关键)适合做本文最佳标题。故选C。Passage2(2020·天津卷3月,D)【答案】51.B52.A53.D54.D55.B【解析】本文是议论文。开头提出问题为什么历史
重要。然后分四方面论述学历史的好处,最后总结扣题说明学历史的意义——历史的价值不可低估,通过从中学习,并利用学到的教训过更有意义的生活。51.猜测词义题。根据上句learningthehistoryofourhomecountrycan
giveusadeeper,moremeaningfulglimpse(一瞥)intoourancestralpasts.,可知学习我们祖国的历史能更深、更有意义地了解我们祖先的过去。此处指学历史着眼于大局,是从国家层面讲的,与之一致,可推知画线的wherewearetoday指的是我们国家的现
状。故选B。52.细节理解题。根据第三段Accordingtotheexperts,problemsfacedbypeopleregardlessofthepastandpresentarethesame.Withtheinformationabouttheancestors,onecanb
ecomemoreexperiencedinhandlingchallengesoflife.可知专家认为,无论过去和现在,人们面临的问题都是一样的。有了祖先的信息,我们在处理生活中的挑战时会更有经验。故选A。53.推理判断题。根据第四段中Italsoprovidesaratherstrongfo
undationforempathyacrosscultures和Historyhasthepotentialtobreakdownthoseboundariesbyofferingusinsightintoentireworldsthatwouldot
herwisebeforeigntous.可知历史为跨文化的同理心提供了一个相当坚实的基础,历史有可能打破对未知事物的恐惧和憎恨,为我们提供洞悉整个世界的机会。由此推之历史帮助我们提高跨文化意识。故选D。54.推理判断题。根据第五段标题是Historycaninspire
ustolearnmore:(历史可以激励我们学习更多),下面列举了阅读OliverTwist的例子,通过OliverTwist我们能去了解作者CharlesDickens,还可能会学到一些关于现实主义的东西,会发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。作者通过这个例
子是为了说明学习历史可以引起人们对其他领域的兴趣。故选D。55.主旨大意题。根据第一段Ifyou'restudyinghistory,askingyourselfthequestion"whyishistoryimportant"isav
erygoodfirststep.提到学历史前先问自己为什么历史重要。下文分四方面论述学历史的好处,最后一段总结扣题说明学历史的意义——历史的价值不可低估,通过从中学习,并利用学到的教训过更有意义的生活。故WhyStudy
ingHistoryMatters?能概括全文内容。故选B。题组二Passage1【语篇解读】本文属于议论文,讲述要成功,就需要不断的学习,这样的生活才会有意义。51.B【解析】推理判断题。第一段讲述塞万提斯一生不幸,负
债累累,因为战争受伤左手残疾,同时还身陷囹圄,在53岁的时候决定写书,最终写出成名作《唐吉柯德》,根据后文可知,所有的困境都没有阻挡他的成功,年龄也是如此,故选B。52.D【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段I’mt
alkingaboutpeoplewhohavestoppedlearningongrowingbecausetheyhaveadoptedthefixedattitudesandopinionsthatalltoooftencomewithpassingyears.故可知,作者
谈论的不是那些没有到达巅峰的人,而是谈论那些不再学习成长的人,故可知runoutofsteam可知,停止学习,故选D。53.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段welosethesenseofwonder.But,ifwea
