2010年高考大纲中关于阅读理解的要求要求考生读懂熟悉的有关日常生活话题的简短文字材料，例如公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章。考生应能：１、理解主旨要义；２、理解文中具体信息；３、根据上下文推断生词的词义；４、作出简单判断和理解；５、理解文章的基本结构；６、理解作者的意图和态度。抓主旨明细节猜词义做推断猜测词义读懂文章---------高三英语阅读指导（阅读篇）词义猜测题常用的提问方式有词义猜测题常用的提问方式有：1.Whichofthefollowingistheclosestinmeaningtotheword/phrase…?2.Theword…couldbestbereplacedby…?3.Whichofthefollowingwordscantaketheplaceof…?4.Whatdoestheunderlinedword/phrase/sentence“…”inthe…paragraphstandfor?5.Inthe…paragraph(InParaXLineX),theword…means/refersto__________.6.Accordingtothepassage,“…”probablymeans/refersto_____________.作者通常通过给某些词，特别是主题词下定义来帮助读者理解词义。下定义时，作者通常使用信号词，如be,mean,dealwith,beconsidered,tobe,referto,becalled,beknownas,is等等，来引导定义。因此，通过这些信号词，读者可以轻而易举地从上下文中找出某个词的定义。针对性解释是作者为了更好地表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念，难懂的术语或高深的词汇等所作的通俗化的解释。解释信息部分有时出现在这个词的同一个句子中，有时在紧接着的下一句中。有些表示转折关系的连接词、介词短语和副词等使得其前后的意义形成对比，可为一个生词暗示出它的相反及否定意思。常见的信息词有：although,eventhough,while,but,yet,however,instead,ratherthan,inspiteof,unlike,farfrom,ontheotherhand,onthecontrary,unfortunately等。在句子或段落中，若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系，我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义,常用关联词(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，asaresult，so,so…that,such…thattherefore等)WordFormation构词法：英语单词大多是由词根、词头（前缀）和词尾（后缀）所组成。词根是单词最基本的部分，表达单词的基本含义。在词根前或后加上前缀或后缀，可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词根、词头和词尾的基本含义，那么就可以很容易猜测出由其构成的新词的含义了。Inquiry-basedActivitiesInquiry-basedActivities探究活动探究活动Passage1Passage1Aman’spositionamongtheblack-tentpeopledependsonhisancestors,relatives,andfellowtribesmen.Iftheyarehonored,heisalsohonored.Iftheyaredisgraced,hetooisdisgraced.Thereforeonecarefullyguardsthehonorofhisfamily,hislineage(宗系),andhistribe.Theword“disgrace”means_________inthistext.A.honorB.endangerC.proudD.shameDPassage2Passage2Therulerhadbeensocruelanddishonestthataftertherevolutionhewasbanished.AfewmembersoftheSenate(参议院)opposedthisdecision,butthemajorityvotedthattherulershouldleavethecountryforever.Theunderlinedword“Theunderlinedword“banishedbanished”mean_______.”mean_______.A.killedbystoningB.sentawayA.killedbystoningB.sentawayC.imprisonedD.punishedbywhippingC.imprisonedD.punishedbywhippingBPassage3Passage3Myfirstjobwastodrivetheoxenthatploughedthecanefields.Iwouldwalkbehindanox,guidinghimwithabroomstick.For$1aday,Iworkedeighthoursstraight,withnofoodbreaks.Itwasverytediouswork,butitpreparedmeforlifeandtaughtmemanylastinglessons.Becausetheplantationownerswerealwayswatchingus,IhadtobeontimeeverydayandworkashardasIcould.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“Whatdoestheunderlinedword“tedioustedious”probably”probablymean?mean?A.interestingB.tiresomeC.relaxingD.challengingA.interestingB.tiresomeC.relaxingD.challengingBbutPassage4Passage4Althoughheoftenhadthechance,Mr.Brownwasneverabletostealmoneyfromacustomer.Thiswouldendangeredhisposi...
