英語(yǔ)備考:把握單句理解決勝高考閱讀1

字號(hào):

2007年高考英語(yǔ)考試大綱的說(shuō)明》明確指出考生應(yīng)在45分鐘左右的時(shí)間里完成5篇體裁、題材不同的閱讀材料。平時(shí)教師在指導(dǎo)學(xué)生做閱讀理解時(shí)總是強(qiáng)調(diào)讓學(xué)生“回歸原文”找答案,不要自己主觀判斷。在學(xué)生平時(shí)練習(xí)的錯(cuò)誤中,我們看到學(xué)生并非全篇都讀不懂,在很多情況下,學(xué)生也知道問(wèn)題問(wèn)的是什么,也判斷對(duì)了答案的范圍在哪幾行,甚至哪一句,但就是看不明白相關(guān)的那句話(huà),最終,關(guān)鍵句子的理解錯(cuò)誤導(dǎo)致做題失誤,究其原因,主要是在知識(shí)上存在兩種障礙。
    -不會(huì)分析長(zhǎng)句結(jié)構(gòu),看不懂句意
    近幾年的閱讀理解篇章中出現(xiàn)了很多長(zhǎng)句,包括各種復(fù)合句、省略句、插入語(yǔ)等等,如果學(xué)生僅僅按單詞的順序讀,那么在駕馭長(zhǎng)句、難句的理解上一定會(huì)有困難。建議大家采取“去除修飾成分,留下句子主干”的辦法。如:
    1.(2005遼寧,C篇)Free Video Magazine sent every four weeks(up to 13 times a year),with our Director's Selection--plus many lower-priced cassettes,down to $14.95. And you may receive Special Selection mailings up to four times a year(a total of up to 17 buying opportunities per year).
    每四周免費(fèi)的影像雜志派送一次(每年有13次之多),附帶《編者精選》,連同許多14.95美元的低價(jià)卡帶。而且您還可以收到每年四次寄送的《特別精選》。(每年有多達(dá)17次的購(gòu)買(mǎi)機(jī)會(huì))。這句話(huà)雖然長(zhǎng),但是主要結(jié)構(gòu)是:Free Video Magazine sent with sth,plus sth,其他多是狀語(yǔ)成分。
    2.(2001北京春,B篇)Scientists have also found marks on hominids'teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern day fruit eaters.科學(xué)家也發(fā)現(xiàn)了Hominids原始人類(lèi)牙齒上的斑痕和現(xiàn)代吃水果人的(斑痕)相似。
    3.(2006全國(guó)I,C篇)To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation,especially if it has failed in the past.使用一成不變的學(xué)習(xí)方法可能會(huì)弄巧成拙,減少學(xué)生的動(dòng)力,尤其是這些方法過(guò)去失敗過(guò)。此句的主要結(jié)構(gòu)是To do sth is self-defeating.后面的because引導(dǎo)的從句和especially短語(yǔ)都是狀語(yǔ)。
    4.(2006北京,D篇)While parents,particularly mothers,have always been attached to their infants(嬰兒),societal conditions frequently made this attachment difficult to maintain(保持).雖然父母,尤其是母親總是對(duì)嬰兒懷有依戀,然而社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)條件卻使這種依戀越來(lái)越難以保持。主句的主要結(jié)構(gòu):conditions made this attachment difficult to maintain。從句中的while引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,意為“盡管,雖然”。
    5.(2006天津,E篇)But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time,and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations,is what is meant by an attitude.
    態(tài)度的意義就在于:這種內(nèi)在的狀態(tài)在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)保持不變,而且能夠使個(gè)人在各種情景中都行為正常。這個(gè)長(zhǎng)句含定語(yǔ)從句,去除定語(yǔ)從句剩下的就是主要結(jié)構(gòu)了,即The internal state is what is meant by an attitude.
