第17讲 阅读理解之记叙文导学案（教师版）-新高二英语暑假衔接（人教版）

这是一份第17讲 阅读理解之记叙文导学案（教师版）-新高二英语暑假衔接（人教版），共20页。
1．了解记叙文的解题方法与技巧。
2．进行记叙文真题训练。
记叙文讲述的是发生在当前或过去或将来事情的经过。简而言之，记叙文就是讲故事，包括人物或故事情节。常见的记叙文根据其用途可分为文学记叙文和说明记叙文：文学记叙文以虚构为主，如趣闻逸事、传说、寓言、传奇故事、短篇小说、科幻小说等；说明记叙文以事实为依据，包括历史、传记、新闻报道、日记等。从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。
解题技巧
要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。
1.关注细节
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, wh, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
2.注重联系
在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
3.读懂表象
如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred frm …?”或是What des the authr imply in…?”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
4.挖掘意义
每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。

(在2004年奥运会上，Figuera首次亮相，他的表现并不完美，但仍能获得第五名。)”可知，Figuera在2004年奥运会上表现并不完美。所以下文“He lked frward t the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a way t redeem himself. ”是说他期待着2008年北京奥运会来证明自己。故redeem意为“证明”。A. frgive原谅；B. thank感激；C. prve证明；D. abandn抛弃。故选C。

Fr tw weeks, the ducklings never swam in a pnd r saw the pen sky-they never even left the case, which grew filthier every day.
Finally, the wman called PETA and asked us t take the ducklings. When we arrived t rescue them, their tiny case was cvered with a tw-week buildup f their wn waste.
We tk them t the Virginia Beach SPCA, where they were freed frm their filthy case, cleaned up, and finally given space t spread their wings-and then the search fr the perfect hme fr them was n. It wasn’t lng befre a PETA member named Katie ffered Harry and Hudini a permanent hme at her vegetarian farm in the cuntry, where the sweet ducklings wuld have the land and water that they desired.
