First, the theme of the topic

The theme of the topic mainly examines the students' generalization of the central idea of the material (or material fragment) they read. When doing this kind of questions, candidates should read through the full text, grasp the main idea or central idea of the article, and pay attention to the topic sentence of the article, because the topic sentence expresses the central idea, and other sentences are all around the topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually located in the first sentence of the first paragraph, the last sentence of the first paragraph or the last sentence of the full text, but it is entirely possible to be located in the middle of the paragraph (usually the middle or last paragraph of the first paragraph). There are many forms of examination subject, such as summary title, theme, paragraph meaning, central idea and so on.

Second, the details of the facts.

As the name implies, the question of fact details is a question set by pointing to a fact or detail of an article. There are many propositional methods of factual details. For example, it may be to examine a certain detail after converting it into a synonymous structure, or it may be to put together several details (usually four) in the article to let the candidates judge right or wrong (choose right or wrong) or sort several details. When answering this kind of test questions, a common method is to use the positioning method, that is, according to the clues in the stem or options, find out the relevant sentences from the original text, compare them with the options, and determine the answer (pay special attention to some common synonymous transformations or simple transformations at this time).

Third, the pronoun reference problem

This type of question requires candidates to infer the referential meaning of pronouns according to a certain context, mainly to examine the correct understanding of the logical relationship of context in a certain context. When doing this kind of questions, candidates should not only understand the meaning of related sentences and straighten out the logical relationship of related sentences, but also learn to be flexible, especially to learn to understand synonymous expressions flexibly.

Fourth, guess the meaning of words.

That is, candidates are required to guess the meaning of new words according to a certain context. This is a difficult point in NMET English reading comprehension, and students should pay full attention to it. There are many ways to guess the meaning of new words, such as meaning explanation, causal inference, comparison before and after, basic word formation, context understanding, illustration, common sense background, generic analysis and so on.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) reasoning and judgment problems

That is to say, candidates are required to make certain judgments and inferences on the basis of understanding the surface text information of the original text, so as to get the implied meaning and deep meaning of the article. Inference and judgment questions belong to advanced reading comprehension questions with strong subjectivity. When doing this kind of questions, students should find out the words that can show the author's ideological tendency and emotional color strictly according to the details and facts stated by the author, as well as the author's wording, attitude and tone, and then use the relevant knowledge they have learned to make inferences and judgments, so as to draw logical conclusions. At this time, we should pay special attention to: when asking the author's views, intentions and attitudes, don't mistake it for asking "you" (the examinee), but the author's own views expressed between the lines.

2 English reading comprehension answer ideas and steps

First, the basic problem-solving ideas of college entrance examination reading:

First, scan and dry, and mark the key items.

Second, read the full text and grasp the center.

1. Read through the full text and pay attention to two points:

(1) the first paragraph (the central sentence and core concepts are often in the first paragraph, and the questions are often given in the first paragraph);

② Sentences at the beginning and end of other paragraphs. (skim other parts and focus on reading)

2. Grasp the center and spend a minute and a half thinking about three questions:

What is the main content of the article?

(2) Did the article mention the core concepts?

(3) What is the author's general attitude?

Third, carefully examine the questions and return to the original text. Look at the stem carefully and connect each question with a place in the original text, and hang a hook.

Positioning principle:

(1) usually starts from the stem of the question and uses the principle of finding keywords to locate it. (Keywords: capital letters, place names, time, numbers, etc. )

② Principle of natural segment positioning. The order of questions is basically the same as that of writing. Generally, each paragraph corresponds to a question.

To establish a sense of positioning, every question and every option should be positioned somewhere in the original text.

Fourth, overlap the options and get the answer. (Overlapping originals = comparing originals)

1. Go back to the original text through the stem: judge the four options, grasp the key words in the options, position the options somewhere in the original text for comparison, overlap the options and choose the answer.

2. Exercise requirements: There must be a reason for choosing one answer, and there must be a reason for not choosing the other three answers.

Second, reading comprehension problem-solving skills

1. Example:

(1) example. When examples, cases, illustrations and illustrations appear in the stem.

(2) Go back to nature and find out the location of the example, not just locating the example.

③ Search the area around the example, 90% upward and 10% downward, and find out the views supported by the example. The abstract expression around an example is usually its parameter.

Note: The purpose of giving examples is to support the argument or explain the topic sentence. Ask immediately after giving examples. What does this example show? You can't answer this question with the words in the example.

④ Find out the argument and compare it with the four options to get the most consistent answer.

⑤ The disturbing characteristics of the wrong answer design of examples are often: talking about things.

Is to pull out the things in the example for you to choose. (╳)

Requirements: When you encounter a long example in reading, locate the example immediately, that is, find out the starting point, where to start and where to end.

2. Reference:

Go back to the original text and find the pronoun that gives the question.

(2) Search upward to find the nearest noun, noun phrase or sentence (start from the nearest point first, if you can't find it, then find the next nearest one, and the general answer will not be too far).

③ Replace pronouns with the meanings of the found words, phrases or sentences to see if their meanings are fluent.

④ Compare the found word, phrase or sentence with the four options to find the best answer.

3. Vocabulary problem: the method of "search substitution"

Go back to the original text and find out where the words appear.

2 determine the part of speech of the word.

(3) Find the word with the same part of speech as the given word from the context (before and after the word) (if you can't find it at once, look up and down again) and substitute it in the position of the given word in the article (replacement) to see if the semantics are appropriate.

(4) Find out the phase selection with the same or similar meaning as the substitute word, that is, the answer.

note:

A. If this word is a simple word, its literal meaning may not be the correct answer.

B. Reading in the college entrance examination is not about knowing words, but whether you can make a correct judgment according to the context.

C. The correct answer to a vocabulary question is often hidden near the original word. Be careful not to push it down literally.

D. Pay attention to appositive words, special punctuation marks (such as semicolons, the logical relationship between the two sentences before and after semicolons is either formal or semantic, that is, the two sentences have the same meaning, and the given lexical meaning can be inferred from the meaning of one sentence), attributive clauses, prefixes and suffixes, and pay special attention to the principle of homosexuality when reading. For example, let's guess the meaning of a noun phrase (verb phrase), and we will search this noun phrase (verb phrase) up and down.

Hidden vocabulary question: the stem of the question completely coincides with a sentence in the original text, and only one or two words are replaced. The practice of hiding vocabulary questions is similar to vocabulary questions. Look up and down.

4. Sentence comprehension questions:

Go back to the original sentence.

(2) To accurately analyze the grammar and meaning of the original sentence (find the trunk), we should focus on the literal meaning of the original sentence. If the literal meaning of a sentence is uncertain, judge it according to the context. Note: The local meaning is determined by the whole.

Generally speaking, the correct answer in the option is exactly the same as the original sentence, but it is expressed in other English words.

(4) The characteristics of the interference item of the wrong option in the sentence comprehension question: pushing too far. When you do the problem, you should grasp the degree of pushing.

Thinking: Micro-analyzing sentences? No, just according to the context? Don't go too far when choosing.

5. Inference problem: "principle of recency"

① Signs: learning, inferring, hinting and informing.

See if you can go back to the original text through the questions or according to the options. General reasoning should focus on one or two key points in the article. Whether the reasoning question can be positioned through the stem of the question should be solidified into one or two points in the article.

(3) Make a judgment of three mistakes and one pair according to the original meaning. Don't reason yet, if there is an option that is exactly the same as the original intention, it must be the correct answer. Inference is not to examine our imagination, but actually to examine whether we have read through some points in the original text, such as one or two points. Therefore, it is better not to push than to push; It's better to push closer than farther.

(4) The principle of the nearest answer to the reasoning questions: it is advisable not to push, it is advisable to be near but not far, and it is advisable to be straight and not close. (There is a change in one sentence in the original text)

Note: don't think too much and push too far when you do the problem. Whether to read the original text is the key.

6. Theme: "Take off your hat"

That is to say, when there are few natural paragraphs, when the string method can't solve it, take off the big hat and the small hat.

The logo of the theme: mainly about, mainly discussing, the best title.

② Cross-linking method: Grasp the first sentence of the first paragraph and other paragraphs, and connect their meanings into a whole. Pay attention to summarizing tips and turning words, especially the central sentence. (mainly for articles with few natural paragraphs; For articles with many natural paragraphs, it is best to link the central sentence with the theme. Find the one closest to the central sentence)

③ Beware of the first trap.

(4) The interference characteristics of the wrong options in the topic are often:

(1) local information, that is, the option content is less than the article content;

The scope is too wide, that is, the content of the option is greater than the content of the article.

⑤ Reverse thinking method and quick composition method: When both options look correct and you can't choose, try to start with the option, imagine what you would have if you wrote an article with this option, and then compare it with the content of the article, and the closest one is the correct option.

7. The author's attitude:

① Signs: Attitude

② Understand the meaning of the four options accurately.

Don't mix your own opinions.

You can find some emotional words in the text. Such as: lucky, excited, too much.

(5) the way of example.

⑥ Grasp the main line of discussion. Read through the first paragraph and pull out the last sentence of the first paragraph of other paragraphs to see the structure of the whole article.

⑦ Pay special attention when doing the author's attitude questions: First, see who is the attitude towards whom.

8. True or false:

(1) See if you can concretize a point in the text through four options, or locate it according to the principle of natural paragraphs.

(2) Each option should return to the original text and cannot be judged by subjective impression.

③ Focus on analyzing the relationship between "three mistakes and one pair" or "three pairs and one mistake" (the problem is to see the problem clearly).

9. Details:

Go back to the original text after reading the topic, overlap the original text and get the answer.

10. Several key issues:

1 vocabulary questions: the literal meaning is not the answer, and its profound meaning should be inferred according to the context.

2 sentence comprehension questions: generally speaking, reasoning is not required, just look at the sentence itself.

3 Inference question: The answer is largely the reproduction of the original text, and it is not necessary to get it from the original text through logical reasoning.

1 1. Characteristics of the correct answer:

The correct answer is often related to the central idea.

② The location of the correct answer, the three most common locations are: the first paragraph, the last paragraph, the turning point and the causal place.

③ The common principles of correct answers are synonymous substitution, irony and irony.

④ Judging from the tone, the correct answer often contains uncertain modal particles and euphemisms. Yes, possible, possible, unnecessary, some.

The correct answer is often general and profound. See the trees but not the forest.

12. Characteristics of incorrect answers:

The first level:

(1) out of thin air (no concept mentioned);

② Confusion of positive and negative (the meaning of the option is just the opposite of the original);

The answer is irrelevant (although there is no problem with the expression of the option, it is in line with the original text, but it has nothing to do with the topic)

The second level:

(1) excessive absolutization;

② Expand the scope (focus on the hidden scope);

③ Causal inversion;

4 common sense judgment;

⑤ Pushing too far;

6. Eccentricity;

⑦ Change the part of speech.

Common sense judgment: if an option only conforms to common sense, it may not be the correct answer, but also depends on whether there is a similar meaning in the article; If an option doesn't conform to common sense, it must not be a definite answer. Being able to solve problems involuntarily in the right way shows that we have mastered these skills correctly.
