　　閱讀理解解題技巧

　　這類試題要求考生根據文章的某個句子、某個段落或者全文所提供的事實和線索進行邏輯推理推斷出作者沒有提到的或者沒有明說的事實或者可能發生的事實旨在考查考生infer(推斷)(暗示)(暗示)(暗示)(得出結論)等詞語。解答這類試題可按以下三個步驟進行：尋讀：找到相關信息點(推理的依據)若題干中指明了某句或某段的已有范圍容易找到相關信息；若是from the passage或沒有規定范圍的則需根據各個選項的關鍵詞在文中迅速找到相關信息點。研讀：理3．推理：結合語境和常識以及文章的主旨在理解相關信息的字面意義的基礎上進行符合邏輯的推斷從而理解作者的言外之意。注意：了解錯誤選項的特點避免誤選。(1)原文信息的重述而非推斷出來的結論。(易誤選)(2)推理過度的片面結論。(3)與文中內容不符或完全相反的結論等。(4)符合考生已有常識但文章中沒有信息支持。(易誤選)

　　根據所學技巧完成下列微型閱讀理1．Napoleon，as a character in Tolstoy's War and Peace，is more than once described

　　as having “fat little hands.”．..The issue here is not

　　the accuracy of Tolstoy's description—it seems not that

　　far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man are not said...

　　It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character...

　　Tolstoy did his research，but the composition is his own.

　　What does the last sentence of the passage imply?

　　A．A writer doesn't have to be faithful to his findings.

　　B．A writer may write about a hero in his own way.

　　C．A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.

　　D．A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

　　解析推斷隱含意義。第一步找到最后一句；第二步理解字面意思“托爾斯泰研究過(拿破侖)但作品是他自己寫的”；第三步在推斷隱含意義之前先看看文章的主旨“這是小說家用來展示人物道德品性的一種方法(It is a way the novelist...)”it指上段中“本文要討論的問題不是托爾斯泰描寫的準確性(與記載的歷史事實相差不遠)而是他對歷史事實的選擇(其他可以寫的事他不寫)”結合主旨不難推出作家不一定忠實他所發現的所有事實。答案：Agh speed trains.

　　A．China lacks wind and solar energy.

　　B．China is the leader of the lowcarbon market.

　　C．Highspeed trains are a lowcarbon development.

　　D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.

　　解析：推理判斷題。第一步信息定位。在各選項中畫出關A的wind and solar energy選項B中的leader選項C的High-speed trains選項D的Palm oil尋讀在本段搜索high-speed trains尋找關鍵信息在第四句中找到high-speed trains結合前一句可解題。第二步信息理解。“中國下定決心力爭引領低碳能源市場”“中國花巨資制造電動汽車和高鐵”。第三步信息推斷。“高鐵是低碳發展”故選C。答案：Cdably very sad and refuses to talk to others...”
