2015考研英语 阅读热点之世界读书日

英国文学家弗兰西斯・培根曾经在那篇著名的《论学习》(Of Study)中写道：“读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。”(Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.)“读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀”。(Histories make men wise; poets witty.)

不了解的小伙伴们快来科普一下：4月23日是第19个世界读书日。1995年，联合国教科文组织宣布4月23日为“世界读书日”，以鼓励人们阅读，以及纪念那些为促进人类社会和文化进步做出巨大贡献的人。

“世界读书日”的.英文是World Book Day，其全称为World Book and Copyright Day(世界图书与版权日)。对于世界文学而言，4月23日是一个具有象征意义的日子。16的这一天，塞万提斯和莎士比亚两位文学巨匠双双过世。因此，联合国教科文组织把这一天选作世界读书日可谓自然之选。

英文中，“爱读书的人，书虫”通常可以用bookworm表示。关于“阅读”英文中有不同的表达方式，一起来学学吧!

Have one’s head/nose buried in a book 埋头读书，通常指很专心、认真的读

例句：Every time I see her, she has her head buried in a book. (每次我看到她，她都在埋头读书。)

Peruse 翻阅，浏览，通常不是非常专心，认真地读

例句：You’ll find her in the bookstore perusing the magazines.(你可以在书店找到她，她在那里看杂志呢。)

Skim/scan 浏览，略读，比“peruse”读得还要简略

例句：Before she checked out the book from the library, she skimmed its pages to make sure it would be useful for her research paper.(在把书从图书馆借出来之前，她浏览了一下，以确保里面的内容对她写论文有帮助。)

多读书、读好书，让我们每天都为自己留出一个小时安静地读上几页，享受阅读的快乐!

篇3：考研英语热点阅读

高考英语阅读理解要求考生既能掌握阅读材料的主旨大意, 又能掌握说明主旨大意的事实细节;既能理解具体事实, 又能理解抽象概念;既能理解字面意思, 又能理解深层含义;既能理解单个句段意义, 又能理解通篇逻辑关系, 本文拟对其热点题型的解答技巧作一些探讨和揭示。

一、细节理解题

细节理解题是高考英语阅读理解考查得最多的一种试题, 它要求考生对原文相关细节进行准确理解, 常见题型有:

1.直接细节理解题

一些试题直接指向原文特定词汇、短语和句型, 要求考生对其进行准确理解。解题时应认真阅读仔细分析题干内容, 弄清其所询问细节的角度, 然后带着所提问的细节角度回到原文, 查找答题所需信息。找到解题依据后应用下划线将其标出, 以便与题干内容进行对照阅读检查核对, 看两者是否吻合, 互为因果关系。这样做可以有效防止读题时的认识错误或查找答题所需信息时的定位错误。

例1:原文:Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.” (2011年江苏卷阅读理解A篇第二节)

试题:Professor Joan McLean's course aims to . (57题)

A. add colour and variety to students' campus life

B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention

C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D. prepare students to try their own inventions

解析:D 原文第二节末句When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.体现答案。

例2:原文:Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. (2011年江苏卷阅读理解C篇末节)

试题:Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can . (65题)

A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills

B. make financial profits by producing more turbines

C. settle the arguments about environmental problems

D. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea

解析:D 原文末节末句If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.体现答案。

2.概括式细节理解题

一些细节理解题没有直接信息可以提供, 要求考生对与试题有逻辑联系的内容进行概括和总结, 从而提炼出答题所需信息。解题时应认真阅读仔细分析题干内容, 弄清其所询问细节的角度, 然后带着所提问的细节角度回到原文, 寻找与试题有逻辑关系的内容并对其进行概括和总结。

例1:原文:Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country. (2011年安徽卷阅读理解D篇首节)

试题:What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1 (68题)

A. How the Irish fought against the English.

B. How Ireland gained independence.

C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.

D. How two“Irelands” came into being.

解析:D 认真阅读分析原文第一节不难发现, 其介绍了英国人想征服爱尔兰、爱尔兰人与英国人斗争、南爱尔兰获得独立、北爱尔兰仍归属英国等背景信息, 由此不难概括其主要介绍两个爱尔兰产生的过程。

例2:原文:In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. (2011年安徽卷阅读理解D篇第二节)

试题:We learn from the text that in Ireland . (69题)

A. food shortage in the 1840s led to a decline in population

B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside

C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker

D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments

解析:A 借助原文第二节中的was affected, died of hunger, forced many people to leave Ireland, the population fell可以概括出十九世纪四十年代食品的短缺导致了爱尔兰人口的下降。

3.数据性细节理解题

一些试题要求考生对原文数据性细节进行理解, 解题时应认真阅读仔细分析题干内容, 弄清其所询问数据的角度, 分析看其与原文哪些数据有因果关系, 是否需要对这些数据进行加减乘除的运算, 是不是要进行单位换算。

例:原文:

Rent (出租) a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first ￡4, 500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy. (2011年四川卷阅读理解B篇第二则广告)

试题:If you earn ￡5, 000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on . (45题)

A.￡300 B. ￡500

C. ￡4, 500 D. ￡5, 000

解析:B 由原文第二则广告中的you won't have to pay any tax on the first ￡4, 500 you make per year.可以看出, 出租房屋的年收入中有4, 500英镑不需要纳税, 因此5000英镑的出租房屋年收入中只有5000-4500=500 (英镑) 需要纳税。

4.多细节性理解题

一些试题要求考生判断符合特定条件的数个细节性信息。因试题题干既有符合条件的信息, 又有不符合条件的信息, 而各符合条件的信息又是数个, 不少考生容易产生急躁心理。此时应静下心来, 冷静地分析题干内容, 弄清所问信息的逻辑角度, 然后带着这一逻辑角度回到原文, 弄清与题干要求一致的细节性信息是哪几处, 它们与哪一个选项正好吻合。特别需要注意的是, 此时不能将A、B、C、D所示细节分别与原文进行核对, 这样做大量耗费时间, 而且还容易造成急躁心理。

还有一些试题要求考生根据原文内容对所发生的多个细节性信息进行排序。解题时应阅读题干内容, 弄清要求排序的范围, 然后带着这一范围回到原文, 按事件发生的顺序将特定范围内的细节进行排序, 看其与哪一个备选项的内容一致。特别需要注意的是, 解题时不能使用代入法将四个备选项的细节性信息一一排序。这样做既浪费时间, 又容易造成急躁心理。

例:原文:

Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning: “The aim is to mix the physical with the digital. Providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”

The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.

Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual (虚拟的) LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.

Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before.” (2011年四川卷阅读理解C篇第四、五、六、七节)

试题:Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens? (51题)

A. a, b, d B. a, c, e

C. b, c, d D. b, d, e

解析:A 原文第四节it is about giving people the right tools for learning表明a与原文事实相符;原文第四节末句It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.表明b与原文事实相符;原文第七节in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material表明d与原文事实相符。

【易错处提醒】一些考生做直接细节理解题、概括式细节理解题和数据性细节理解题时只是将文章先读一下, 然后凭印象解答试题, 常常出现题干提问与所选细节张冠李戴的现象。解决问题的关键在于增强在原文中寻找解题依据的意识, 养成在原文中寻找解题依据的习惯。做多细节理解题第一种题型时一些考生喜欢将A、B、C、D所示细节分别与原文进行核对, 这样做大量耗费时间, 而且还容易丢分。正确的解题思路是先读题, 再读原文, 再确定符合题干的细节性信息, 最后选择。做多细节理解题第二种题型时一些考生喜欢使用代入法将四个备选项的细节性信息一一排序。这样做既浪费时间, 又容易丢分。正确的解题思路是先读题, 再读原文, 再将有关细节排序, 最后做出选择。

二、推理判断题

高考英语阅读理解推理判断题要求考生在原文中寻找与题干有逻辑联系的内容, 通过意义联想和逻辑转换分析其与哪个备选项在意义与逻辑上吻合, 从而最终推出答案。那么原材料中哪些信息可用来进行推理判断呢?

1.借助关键词进行推理判断

一些试题的解答只需要寻找与题干有逻辑联系的关键词就可以推出正确答案。解题时应认真阅读试题, 弄清其要求和回答问题的角度, 结合原文看其是否有关键词可用来进行推理。

例1:原文:However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured.” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training. (2011年安徽卷阅读理解C篇第五节)

试题:What do we know about Wellman? (66题)

A. He climbed Half Dome by himself.

B. He was disabled in a traffic accident.

C. He stopped rock-climbing for some time.

D. He was saved by Corbett during the climb.

解析:C 由原文第五节画线部分的关键词可以推出Wellman曾经停止攀岩一段时间。

例2:原文:The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc. (2011年安徽卷阅读理解D篇末节)

试题:The last paragraph is mainly about . (70题)

A. the Irish character

B. Irish culture

C. Irish musical instruments

D. a famous Irish writer

解析:B 由原文末节画线部分的关键词可以推出其主要介绍爱尔兰文化。

2.借助关键句、段进行推理判断

一些试题的解答需要对较多信息进行阅读和推理, 因此解题时应认真阅读题干, 找到与之有逻辑联系的关键句、段, 并借助其进行推理判断, 看它与哪一个备选项内容在意义与逻辑上吻合。

例1:原文:During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind. (2011年安徽卷阅读理解B篇第三节)

试题: One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that . (62题)

A. wind power is cleaner

B. it is one of the oldest power sources

C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

解析:A 原文第三节画线部分的两个关键句之间互为因果关系, 因此二十世纪七十年代风再次被发现是因为风能更干净。

例2:原文:Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. (2011年广东卷阅读理解A篇末节)

试题:In this passage, the author advises us to . (29题)

A. handle problems by ourselves

B. accept help from others

C. admit our weakness

D. show our bravery

解析:C 由原文末节画线部分的关键句可以推出作者建议我们承认自己的不足之处。

例3:原文:A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute!” someone might say, “Are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?” (2011年广东卷阅读理解C篇首节)

试题: The author took the job to teach writing because . (36题)

A. he wanted to be respected

B. he had written some stories

C. he wanted to please his father

D. he had dreamed of being a teacher

解析:A 由原文第一节可以推出作者接受了教学的工作是因为他想象他父亲一样获得尊敬。

3. 借助常识进行推理判断

众所周知, 常识是人们普遍认可与赞同的观点, 是准确无误的信息。因此利用常识可进行推理判断, 并且快速高效。

例:原文:All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. (2011年新课标全国卷阅读理解A篇第三节)

试题:What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house? (57题)

A. He wanted to have tea there.

B. He was a respectable person.

C. He was treated as a family member.

D. He was fully trusted by the family.

解析:D 由常识可以推出一个外人若拥有特定家庭的钥匙说明其得到这个家庭的充分信任。

【易错处提醒】有时原文与试题有逻辑联系的内容较为曲折, 部分考生不能准确理解, 从而选错答案。考生应抓住与题干有逻辑联系内容的however, while, on the contrary, contrary to, and, unless, not…until…, not only…but also…, either…or…, neither…nor…, so that, in order that, in case, even if, even though, as if, as though, or, otherwise, therefore, thus等连词或副词, 对其进行准确理解, 从而正确解答试题。

三、词义判断题

近年来高考英语阅读理解题对词义的推断主要考查生词词义判断、代词指代判断、熟词新义判断和普通词汇特殊意义判断。

1.分析人称演变过程推断代词的正确指代

代词指代判断题考查考生依据语境逻辑推断人称代词和指示代词意义的能力。人称代词指代判断题要求考生对it, they, them, he, she等人称代词的正确指代进行判断。指示代词指代判断题主要考查考生对this, these, that, those等指示代词指代意义的判断能力。认真分析历年高考试题不难发现代词指代判断题常出现在人物变换多、动作转换频的语境中。解题时应认真阅读仔细推敲特定代词所在句和前后邻近句, 分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程, 弄清其来龙去脉和前因后果, 从而准确推断其所替代的对象。

例1: 原文:He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s. (2011年湖南卷阅读理解B篇第六节)

试题:The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to the father's . (63题)

A. weak heart

B. taking a shore job

C. failure to return to sea

D. injury caused by a torpedo

解析:A 认真阅读分析该词所在句及前两句不难发现, For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart.为该词背景信息, 由此可以推断it指代week heart。

例2:原文:By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants. (2011年大纲全国卷阅读理解B篇第二节)

试题:What does the word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? (61题)

A. Advertising in newspapers.

B. Including pictures in ads.

C. Selling goods in markets.

D. Working with ad agencies.

解析:A 认真阅读分析该词所在句及前一句不难发现, 前一句为该词背景信息, 由此不难推出This指代set aside a place just for advertising。

2.根据语境逻辑推断生词含义

生词词义判断题主要考查考生利用语境逻辑推断特定生词意义的能力。解题时应充分利用上下文, 找出特定生词在邻近句的背景信息, 然后借助转折、条件、因果、递进、对比、并列、让步等逻辑关系或定义和解释正确推断其含义。

例1:原文:Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby (业余爱好) : She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds, too; so it's a win-win situation all around.” (2011年新课标全国卷阅读理解C篇首节)

试题:What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? (64题)

A. chickens B. tomatoes

C. gardens D. people

解析:A 认真阅读分析该词所在句不难发现, The family's old farm house has become a chicken house为该词背景信息, 由此可见its为a chicken house的所有格形式。进一步推理可知, residents指代chickens。

例2:原文:Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs) , it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. (2011年广东卷阅读理解B篇首节)

试题:The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . (31题)

A. early B. sweetly

C. quickly D. smoothly

解析:B 认真阅读分析原文第一节不难发现, 该词与首句中的in perfect harmony和末句中的a positive relationship意义相近, 由此不难推断该词意为“愉快地”。

3.根据原始含义和所在句语境推断熟词新义

众所周知, 英语单词词义丰富, 搭配灵活, 一些熟词在特定语境中常产生新含义。有些新含义与原含义没有联系, 需要借助上下文进行推断。有些新含义既来自原含义又体现新特点, 只有将原含义和新语境有机结合, 在整体思维综合考虑的基础上才能准确推断。

例1:原文:Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. (2011年天津卷阅读理解C篇第五节)

试题:The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean . (49题)

A. exchanged ideas with each other

B. discussed the meaning of a word

C. gained life experience

D. used the same language

解析:A 认真阅读分析该词所在句不难发现, 该词应指代上文的speaking to someone, 由此不难推断其含义为“彼此交流想法”, 这与其原含义“分享一个字”有密切联系。

例2:原文:The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and class discussion. (2011年北京卷阅读理解C篇第四节)

试题:The underlined word “engage” in Para.4 probably means . (64题)

A. explore B. accept

C. change D. reject

解析:A 认真阅读分析原文第四节不难发现, 该词与上文的have deep conversations和下文的dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas有密切联系, 由此可以推断该词指代动作力度较大的explore。

4.依据语境逻辑推断普通词汇的特殊含义

一些非常常见十分普通的词汇在特殊场合会产生特殊的含义, 解题时应认真阅读仔细分析特定词汇所在句和邻近句, 弄清作者的表达目的和写作意图, 揭示其在特定词汇使用上的言外之意, 从而正确推断该词的真正含义。

例1:原文:Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. (2010年浙江卷阅读理解A篇末节)

试题:The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to . (43题)

A.the rainbow in the sky

B. the stripes on the pavement

C. something imaginative and fun

D. important lessons learned in childhood

解析:C 由句中brighten our lives可以推出这里的彩虹指有想象力的、有趣的东西。

例2:原文:However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world. (2010年江西卷阅读理解D篇第三节)

试题:What does “the days” in paragraph 3 refer to? (69题)

A. Imaginary life.

B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions.

D. Time for constant activity.

解析:B 由句中的when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.可以推断这里的the days不是平常的日子, 而指现在已不复存在的简朴日子。

【易错处提醒】有时要求判断词义的单词与推断依据相距较远, 部分考生无法将两者联系起来, 从而选错答案。考生首先应清楚画线词与推断依据可能相距较远, 以避免草率做出结论。其次还应分析作者解释的是什么概念、披露的是什么现象、介绍的是什么事物, 弄清其叙述有几个层次, 画线词与其话题有关还是与各层的层意有关, 从而结合具体语境推断出画线词词义的准确判断依据。

四、写作意图判断题

主题是阅读材料的高度浓缩, 它体现阅读材料的主旨大意、中心思想和作者的创作动机, 因此准确获取主题可以巧妙推断作者的写作目的, 从而成功解答写作意图判断题。

1.由首节获取文章主题推断写作意图

首节尤其首句和末句往往是作者最想和读者交流的内容, 是全文话题的所在和主旨大意的体现, 因此认真阅读仔细分析首节尤其首句与末句可以推断文章主题, 从而顺利解答写作意图的判断题。

例1:原文:Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt. (2011年重庆卷阅读理解C篇首节)

试题:What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? (67题)

A. To stress the role of dirt.

B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D. To present the change of views on dirt.

解析:D 认真阅读分析第一节可以推断本文会着重介绍关于脏物的褒义性观点, 而这是一个变化的观点, 由此可以推出作者的写作意图是呈现人们对于脏物的观点的变化。

例2:原文:In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源) , the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. (2011年广东卷阅读理解D篇首节)

试题:What is the main purpose of the passage? (45题)

A. To introduce a new business model.

B. To compare two business models.

C. To predict a change of the global market.

D. To advocate sustainable development.

解析:D 认真阅读分析原文第一节不难发现画线部分的内容体现主题, 由此不难推出作者的写作意图是提倡可持续发展。

2.由段落主题或大意获取文章主题推断写作意图

众所周知, 文章由段落构成, 每一个段落都是作者写作内容的一部分, 因此段落主题或大意的综合往往体现作者的写作目的。

例:原文:The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers. It has been made to help you better manage your money. The Winners Club is a transaction Account (交易账户) where you receive a key-card so you can get to your money 24/7—that's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! (2011年江西卷阅读理解B篇首节)

●No account keeping fees!

●Excellent interest rates!

●Convenient

●Mega magazine included

(2011年江西卷阅读理解B篇四个段落标题)

试题:What is the purpose of this text? (65题)

A. To set up a club.

B. To provide part-time jobs.

C. To organize key-cards.

D. To introduce a new banking service.

解析:D 由文章第一节和四个段落主题可以看出本文从四个角度介绍了一个新的银行服务项目, 这就是作者的写作意图。

3.由全文内容获取文章主题推断写作意图

一些作者意图判断题由首节无法获取文章主题, 也没有现成的段落主题或大意句可以利用, 需要考生通读全文, 借助文章情节的推进、作者观点的流露和主人公处境的改变合理推断作者的写作意图。

例:原文:

My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”

A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear—as mine was until my father's letter—is of being a disappointment.

Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “Don't worry; you'll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back. (2010年安徽卷阅读理解D篇)

试题:The main purpose of the text is to . (71题)

A. describe children's thinking

B. answer some questions children have

C. stress the importance of communication

D. advise parents to encourage their children

解析:D 认真阅读分析原文可以发现:第一节主要介绍父亲写的鼓励信让作者自信起来;第二节主要介绍作者决心把信任的信写给子女, 让他们也自信起来;第三节主要介绍作者呼吁读者把信任的信写在孩子们的心上。由此不难推断作者的写作意图是劝父母鼓励子女。

【易错处提醒】判断新产品介绍文与广告的写作目的时考生常常出错, 将广告的写作目的选为“To introduce…”, 将介绍文的写作目的选为“To increase the sale of…”, 造成失分。的确, 新产品介绍文常有黑字体背景信息, 与广告容易混淆。考生首先应明确广告主要介绍产品或服务的性质、出售或服务的时间、出售或服务的地点、出售或服务的联系方式, 而新产品介绍文不以介绍出卖产品或服务的背景信息为主要内容。其次, 考生应明确广告的写作目的是促销, 而新产品介绍文的写作目的是提供知识。

五、篇章结构判断题

篇章结构判断题既可考查对各节叙述特点的判断 (如总述——分述——总述;以时间推移为线索;以地点变换为线索;以列举并列内容为线索;以对比角度为线索) , 又可考查对各节功能特点的判断 (如论点、论证、结论) , 还可考查对各节逻辑特点的判断 (如时间、地点、目的、结果、原因、转折、递进、并列) 。解题时应认真分析各节内容与文章主旨之间的关系, 分析各节通过什么手段服务主旨, 相互之间是什么关系, 从而对文章的篇章结构进行准确判断。

例:原文:Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service. (2010年江西卷阅读理解C篇第二节后部分)

Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes. (2010年江西卷阅读理解C篇第三节)

For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations. (2010年江西卷阅读理解C篇第四节)

试题:This passage is organized in the pattern of . (67题)

A. time and events

B. comparison and contrast

C. cause and effect

D. definition and classification

解析:B 认真阅读分析原文不难发现, 其主要内容 (二、三、四节) 以对比的方式轮换介绍孔子和苏格拉底的见解, 由此不难推出文章以对比的方式进行篇章的组织。

【易错处提醒】当篇章结构判断题为图示题时考生的失分主要在于只看示图而不分析各节内容在总述和分述上的体现情况。因此考生应先分析各节是总述还是分述再选择相配的示图。判断文章总体叙述特点时考生丢分原因在于不会分析全文服务于主题的手段是举例证明、对比证明还是因果分析。解决问题的关键在于认真阅读分析原文, 揭示出文章主题, 然后分析为证明主题作者采用了什么论证手段, 从而正确解答试题。

六、主旨大意判断题

主旨大意判断题要求考生认真阅读分析原文, 根据其内容正确判断文章主旨大意, 它可通过下列途径加以解答:

1.寻找主题确定文章大意

因为主题是文章主旨大意的充分体现, 所以寻找主题可以快速准确地确定文章大意。

例1:原文:Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场) . Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze (热潮) . (2010年全国卷II阅读理解C篇首节)

试题:What does this text mainly talk about? (50题)

A. Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.

B. Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time.

C. Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.

D. A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.

解析:B 首节首句为全文主题。本文主要介绍了刚刚掀起的滑雪热潮。

例2:原文:When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先) . This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. (2009年北京卷阅读理解D篇首节)

试题:What is the main idea of the passage? (71题)

A. Music education deserves more attention.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music is an effective communication tool.

D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

解析:A 认真阅读仔细分析不难发现, 文章首先介绍人们对艺术和音乐不看重的错误做法, 然后在首节末句提出正确的观点:音乐教育很有益很重要。可见全文主要介绍音乐教育值得更多地关注。

例3:原文:The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while. (2007年全国卷I 阅读理解C篇末节)

试题:What is the text mainly about? (64题)

A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

C. The happy life of two families.

D. The basic needs of children.

解析:B 认真阅读仔细分析可以看出, 末节是全文内容的概括与总结。第一句介绍“Mommy and Me” time的益处, 第二句介绍每个小孩都应该得到单独和母亲在一起的机会。可见全文主要介绍单独和小孩在一起的好处。

2.概括段落大意总结文章大意

众所周知, 主旨大意始终引导与制约着文意的发展方向, 所以阅读材料的每一节内容都围绕并服务于主旨大意。可见借助文章每一节的大意可以总结概括全文大意, 从而顺利解答主旨大意判断题。

例:原文:The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. (2008年广东卷阅读理解B篇第三节首句)

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. (2008年广东卷阅读理解B篇第四节一、二两句)

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. (2008年广东卷阅读理解B篇第五节首句)

试题:What is the passage mainly about? (49题)

A. How to prepare for your success.

B. How to face challenges in your life.

C. How to build a positive self-image.

D. How to develop your good qualities.

解析:C 认真阅读仔细分析可以发现, 以上三处引用文字均为各段大意, 均介绍了战胜否定自我形象的方法。由此不难总结概括出文章大意。

3.利用文章主线和关键信息提炼文章大意

实践表明, 不是每篇阅读材料都有明确的主题句, 也不是所有段落都有明确的段落主题句。显然, 无法找到现成主题句或无法由段落大意总结概括出主旨大意时只能利用文章主线和关键信息提炼文章大意。

例:原文:On one side stand those who see clothes dryers (干衣机) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I-can-do environmentalism (环境保护主义) .” (2008年浙江卷阅读理解E篇第二节)

On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. (2008年浙江卷阅读理解E篇第三节首句)

试题:What is mainly discussed in the text? (60题)

A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money.

B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered.

C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.

D. Different varieties of clotheslines.

解析:C 认真阅读仔细分析可以发现, 以上两处引用文字是文章的主要信息, 介绍对在晒衣绳上晒衣服正反两种不同的观点, 由此不难提炼出文章主旨。

【易错处提醒】当试题需要考生提炼文章大意时考生失分较多, 主要原因是考生不会抽象概括文章大意。解决问题的关键在于认真阅读分析原文, 弄清作者在介绍什么, 用什么手段介绍, 其贯穿文章始终的主线是什么, 有什么关键信息可以证明这是文章主线, 从而正确解答试题。

Long ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow…he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

“Sorry, I don't have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.He never came back after picking the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me, ” the tree said.

“I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

Baltimore sends parents to jail for truant kids

About a dozen parents have been sentenced for their children's truancy (逃学) this year and some have gone for jail for the crime, the Baltimore Sun's Erica Green reports.

Green simply introduces Barbara Gaskins, who spent 10 days in jail after her 15-year-old son missed the majority of school days this year. She says she dropped him off at the bus stop each morning and taught him the importance of education. She was worried about finding childcare for her four young children while serving the time.

“We're dealing with less than 1 percent of students and parents, and certainly this is one of the toughest decisions we have, ” Jonathan Brice, who manages the school district's truancy office, told Green. “But it's important that we get those parents' and young people's attention about the seriousness of being in school.” Education experts, however, were less confident that cracking down on parents would lift attendance.

The school system's court liaison (联络员) Alfred Barbour told the paper that no parents served jail time last year—and that only three did in 2009. Hundreds of them are cited (传讯) each year for truancy however, and charges are put forward after a student misses 15 days. For parents to be convicted (证明有罪) , the school has to prove they knew their child wasn't attending school.

Criminalizing parental laziness has had something of a nationwide movement lately. California's new strict anti-truancy bill (议案) took effect at the beginning of this year. Parents can serve up to a year in jail if convicted of allowing their children to skip class. Florida and Texas already have similar laws on the books. And one Michigan prosecutor (检察官) wants a law passed to send parents who miss parent-teacher conferences to jail for three days.

Chilean Education Minister Joaquín Lavín joined Chileans nationwide in rejecting the use of advertisements and product placements in school textbooks.

Lavín's response follows a nationwide argument after a story run on the state-approved textbooks featuring for fruit juices, banks, and cell phone companies, among others.

The ads were included within sections of the books where students were taught about advertisement and advertising. However, experts have pointed out that exposing children to advertising can have very strong effects on consumer choices later on. Lavín suggested textbook writers include fake (假的) brand names and advertisements to achieve desired goals.

“Any text that makes a reference to advertisements should not mention specific brands, ” reads the letter that Lavín sent to the education ministry's curriculum (课程) and evaluation unit. According to Loreto Fontaine, national coordinator (协调人) of the unit, Lavín's request would take effect beginning next year.

Despite his reaction, Lavín noted that he was surprised by how quickly the story became a scandal (丑闻) . “They are the same books that have existed since 2002, ” said Lavín. “Chilean children are always exposed to television ads and street posters. Maybe part of their education is teaching them how to defend themselves from this constant bombardment (轰炸) .”

Mariana Aylwin, who served as education minister in 2002, said that she was not aware of the advertisements during her administration, and that the topic was not present when her office evaluated the content of textbooks.

However, Aylwin agreed with Lavín on the incorporation (参与) of fake ads. “It is obvious that they should use imitations and not actual brands, ” she said.

1. Why advertisements can't appear in Chilean school textbooks any more?

A. Because exposing children to advertising will affect future consumer choices.

Italians have reacted with fury to an attempt by Croatia to claim the legendary (传奇的) explorer Marco Polo was one of their own.

The outcry (抗议) came after a museum in memory of the Venetian explorer in the Chinese city of Yangzhou was opened not by Italian high officials but by a former president of Croatia, Stjepan Mesic.

The exact date and place of Marco Polo's birth are unknown but most scholars believe he came from Venice. It has been argued by some historians, however, that he was born on the island of Korcula on the Adriatic coast, in what is today Croatia.

According to this theory, his father was a merchant from Dalmatia named Maffeo Pilic, who Italianised his surname to Polo when he established himself in Venice.

The museum was built in Yangzhou because Marco Polo was an official there from 1282 to 1284. Inaugurating (为……举行落成仪式) the museum this month, Mr Mesic described Marco Polo as a “world explorer, born in Croatia, who opened up China to Europe”.

Italy's leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, described the Croatian claim to Marco Polo as “ridiculous (荒谬的) ” and a “provocation (挑衅) ”.

“Attributing Croatian nationality to Marco Polo or anyone else born on the island at that time, just because it is now part of Croatia, is stretching historical facts too far, ” the paper said.

It pointed out that Garibaldi, the hero of the Risorgimento (复兴) movement to unite Italy in the 19th century, was born in Nice but was never described as French.

The paper criticized Italian diplomats (外交官) in China for allowing “someone as famous among the Chinese as (Marco Polo) to slip through their fingers, to the possible detriment (损害) of friendly relations, commerce and tourism”.

1. What does the underlined word “fury” mean in the first paragraph?

B. Mr.Mesic's theory was ridiculous

C. Garibaldi was really an Italian

D. The French don't think highly of Garibaldi

If the environmental movement has a high holiday, Earth Day is it.

The yearly effort to raise public awareness about the environment and inspire actions to clean it up marks its 41st anniversary (周年纪念) on Friday, coinciding (与……巧合) with the Christian Good Friday and Judaism's celebration of Passover (逾越节) .

In an effort named “A Billion Acts of Green, ” organizers are encouraging people to observe Earth Day 2011 by promising online at http://act.earthday.org/to do something small but sustainable (可持续的) in their own lives to improve the planet's health. They believe millions of people doing small, individual acts can add up to real change.

There will be hundreds of meetings, workshops and other events around the United States, where Earth Day was born, and hundreds more overseas, where it is now celebrated in 192 countries.

In the United States the activities range from the premiere (初次演出) of the new film from the director of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” (it's called “Revenge 〈报仇〉 of the Electric Car”) at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York to a discussion about creating a green economy in 12 cities along the Gulf Coast.

In the years since the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 the environmentalist movement made greatprogress with passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and other laws.

But the bipartisanship (两党关系) that marked the birth of Earth Day — it was started in Congress by a Wisconsin Democrat (民主党党员) named Gaylord Nelson and a California Republican (共和党党员) named Pete McCloskey — is often missing in discussions about environmental policy today.

Efforts to fight climate change by regulating (调节) greenhouse gases, for instance, face fierce resistance from many Republicans and members of the business community, who oppose the science supporting global warming and warn new rules to regulate emissions (散发) will kill jobs and raise energy costs.

1. How many festivals fell on Friday?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

2. How will people observe Earth Day 2011 according to the organizers' demand?

A. By promising online to do something for environment.

B. By getting together.

C. By holding meetings.

D. By seeing films.

3.What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the third paragraph?

A. Organizers.

B. People.

C. Americans.

D. People in 192 countries.

4. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us?

A. The difficulty of the development of the environmentalist movement.

B. The problems between Democrats and Republicans.

C. The challenges from Republicans and members of the business community.

D. The reduction of jobs caused by new rules to regulate emissions.

Tokyo intends to bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics as a “big catalyst (催化剂) ” for Japan's recovery from the quake-tsunami disaster.

Shintaro Ishihara was set to win a fourth term as Tokyo governor in local elections across the country which focused on ways to revive (使复兴) Japan after a 9.0-magnitude quake and monster tsunami ravaged (蹂躏) its Pacific coast.

“Although they are nine years from now, we can start raising our hand now, ” he said. “If we work hard with hopes for nine years ahead, it will be a big catalyst for our country's reconstruction and revival.”

In late 2009, Tokyo lost out to Rio de Janeiro in the race for the 2016 Summer Olympics after spending some 15 billion yen (￡107 million) on the bid to stage what it called compact (严密的) and eco-friendly games.

“There seems to be some tendency within the International Olympic Committee to help Japan, at any rate nine years later when it is expected to have been revived, ” Ishihara said.

The failed bid was one of two major failures that appeared in his 12 years at the helm (领导) of one of the world's biggest cities. The other was heavy investment in a city-run bank that he helped create but which has fallen deeply into the red (赤字) .

Candidates for 2020 must present their bids to the IOC by September 1 this year. The host city will be chosen in Buenos Aires in September 2013.

For the second half of March, an epidemic sweeps across the US. It keeps kids home from school. College students ignore piles of homework. Employees suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the annual US men's college basketball tournament (联赛) . It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April. More than 60 teams compete against each other in a lose-and-you're-out tournament that eventually crowns (加冕) a national champion. Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness.

The competition's high viewer numbers mean that a lot of money can be made out of it. Schools that make it to the tournament get on TV, which can bring them more fame and admissions applications. Advertisers and TV broadcasters also cash in on the games.

The “madness”, however, is not just about the money. College basketball players are not paid. It is college pride that is being defended. And in some people's minds, that is worth more than anything else in the world. Most Americans feel a strong connection with their schools, whether it's an Ivy League university or a less well-known college. So when your university joins this tournament, that's worth celebrating.

But perhaps an even greater part of the tournament is its uncertainty, knowing that anything could happen. The fun comes from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. Husbands against wives. Colleagues against bosses. A big school can lose to a small one. And players with no chance at the NBA can try to make their name on a last-second shot.

In fact, the tournament's lasting appeal (吸引力) may just be the country's love of underdogs (弱者) . Americans love it when the little person can find success, and there may be no greater stage for this in American sports than college basketball's “March Madness”.

More than half of rich Americans have not revealed their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed Tuesday.

Taking the pulse nationwide of the rich with $3 million or more in wealth a survey by US Trust released by Bank of America found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their wealth to either their children or charity.”

Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children will be able to handle any inheritance (遗赠) they plan to leave them.

“Our research, however, uncovered a unique generational mindset that reflects changing views about what retirement means and a new sense of what one generation owes the next.”

Girls' behaviour at school is getting worse and worse due to the appeal of Wag lifestyles and reality TV shows, according to teachers.

They are giving up on studying because they want an “easy route to money” by becoming a footballer's wife or an instant star on Britain's Got Talent or The X Factor.

Many want to become a mini-celebrity (小名人) instantly so they try to attract attention from boys by disrupting classes, spreading rumours (谣言) and even cyber-bullying (网络欺凌) .

As a result, teachers' time is increasingly taken up dealing with “horsing around (胡闹) ”, use of mobile phones in lessons and bullying.

The Association of Teachers and Lecturers surveyed 859 teachers, heads, lecturers and support staff working in state and independent schools ahead of its annual conference, which begins in Liverpool today.

Nearly half said girls' behaviour has worsened over the past two years. And one in five believes that girls' behaviour is more challenging than that of boys.

Hank Roberts, ATL's junior vice (副) president, referred to the influence of Wags—young women who obtain instant wealth by marrying sportsmen.

And he insisted that teaching is made more difficult by programmes such as The X Factor, which is judged by Cheryl Cole— herself the winner of a TV talent show and a former footballer's wife.

Mr Roberts, a teacher at Copland Community School in Wembley, said that the TV shows create a “false image of success, that anyone can do it and it's just a matter of luck rather than hard work”.

Other reasons given for girls' bad behaviour are quarels with friends and family and problems associated with puberty (青春期) . Almost half of teachers said the most common form of bad behaviour is bullying by isolating (孤立) another pupil, spreading rumours and making “snide (讽刺的) looks across the classroom”.

1. Which of the following is not the shortcut to money for the British girls who give up studying?

A. To marry a footballer.

B. To be an instant star on Britain's Got Talent.

中场——深度阅读。对于热点同期书而言，做深度阅读，往往不是上佳之选，热点的价值在于其新闻性和眼球效应，而既然称之为热点，必然也有“退热”之时，一旦热点的关注度降低，其同期书也很难再次获得读者的青睐，所以对于大部分出版社而言，操作此类图书时多以短平快为立足点，即直接切入话题，短期集中曝光，避免长期恋战。对于世界杯这样一个全球性事件，国内出版社以往出版的图书多以上一类的观赛指南均多，较少做更为深入的相关读物。而今年，由体坛传媒与西南财经大学出版社联手推出的“世界杯系列图书”打破了这一常规，开启了世界杯深度阅读之旅，也广受市场的关注。这一号称首部中文版的世界杯系列图书，第一次用中文梳理总结了历届世界杯大事记与精彩瞬间，系列图书共有9本之多，其中《世界杯冠军志》就有7本，讲述了历届世界杯冠军的精彩传奇，分别是巴西、阿根廷、德国、法国、意大利、英格兰和西班牙；其余两本则分别为《图说世界杯》和《2014世界杯群英谱》。作为创作方，体坛传媒利用其长期报道足球赛场累计的资源和经验，为世界杯冠军立传，用照片重现世界杯84年的历史，为足球名人绘制漫画，视角独到，内容精彩。该系列图书超过100万字，配图800多张，图文并茂，生动形象。对于真正的球迷而言，这样一套鸿篇巨制，如同一场饕餮之旅，同时如此深入的内容挖掘，也赋予了产品本身更为持久的生命力。

后卫——明星传记。足球是一项集团队精神与个人英雄主义于一体的体育运动，而让球迷们为之疯狂的更多的则是承载着后者的那些巨星名宿，《贝利：足球之美》《C罗：C罗亲自授权传记》《内马尔：无畏质疑》《贝克汉姆：未来》《思维的竞赛：里皮自述》《穆里尼奥：葡萄牙制造》《世界杯100球星》等作品登场亮相，这里有曾经的王者，也有当代的翘楚，既有传奇的教练，也有历史的汇整，以上种种伴随着世界杯的进程，共同唱响这曲世界杯合唱。

替补——足球八卦。有明星有新闻就有八卦，对于身处聚光灯下的足球场来说，也非一块世外净土，而这也是足球本身的魅力所在。谈足球，则不能忘了黄健翔，作为球迷们最耳熟能详的解说员，他给多少国人带来足球本身以及之外的欢乐，每逢世界杯等足球大赛，也自然少不了他的身影。在这次世界杯图书大赛中，他更是一口气推出了两本作品——《你不是一个人世界杯》和《足球根本不是圆的》。听到前者的书名，应该有很多读者会心一笑，“你不是一个人”，黄健翔在8年前的世界杯上的激情之语，至今仍然让很多球迷回味无穷。在这本新书中，作者根据自己与世界杯的故事，以及这么多年来对世界杯的研究，分六部分，分别讲述了世界杯的起源、世界杯传奇、世界杯疑云、中国与世界杯、巴西与世界杯，最终落脚在世界杯源于足球，但是世界杯不仅仅是足球，它与政治、宗教、科技、文化等领域是紧密连接在一起的，贴切地阐释了书名中的“你不是一个人”。而另一册书《足球根本不是圆的》则是黄健翔精选其个人自媒体节目《黄·段子》中的部分足球内容精加工而成，是作者将近30年的足球知识积累和储备，用平实、简明而富有激情的语言将足球圈的各种故事娓娓道来，如同身临其境。

以往的世界杯图书，同时也包括类似奥运会同期书等等很多热点同期书，往往基于短平快的市场定位，存在两大误区，一是迷陷包装战术，希望依靠精美的包装和印刷来吸引读者，忽视了对内容的深度打磨，导致读者不愿意买账；二是选题方向雷同，分散了读者对于同一主题的关注度，扎堆上市，泯然众人矣。在资讯日益发达的当下，信息传播的速度让人可以在第一时间掌握另一个半球同步的任何事件，所以对热点事件的利用，如果仍旧停留在“来件加工”的思维意识下，显然难以继续满足读者的需求了。在今年的同类书中，我们已经很高兴地看到有出版社愿意耐下心来，专心经营内容，在电子书和网络的阵阵冲击下，看似逆流而上，实则把握了出版的核心——内容。

每年的四五月，对于图书零售市场而言，都不算是一个热销时期，但这并不影响各家出版社推出名家新作的热情，也算是对于之后暑期黄金档的热身吧。素有“国内文坛诺贝尔奖”之称的茅盾文学奖，是众多国内文人毕生为之奋斗的目标，获奖不仅象征着国内文学界的肯定，也意味着获奖者对于国内文坛的影响和号召力。近期两位茅盾文学奖获得者先后为文学爱好者带来了自己新作，也是转型之作，受到广大读者的密切关注。

提到刘心武，则不能不说红楼梦，“揭秘红楼梦”、《刘心武续红楼梦》等一系列红学专著的问世，仿佛刘心武自始至终就是一位专职专业红学研究者。但是对于真正熟悉刘心武的读者来说，《班主任》《钟鼓楼》这些作品应当更为耳熟能详，前者让作者扬名中国文坛，后者为作者带来了茅盾文学奖的荣耀，并共同奠定了作者在当代文坛的地位。暌违20年之久，作者终于带来了长篇现实主义新作《飘窗》，也是标志着作者的创作从古典回归现实。在这部展现当代人生存困境与拷问人性的作品里，作者成功地创造了既典型又独特的当代人物群像：既有清高的知识分子，又有拼命钻营的作家；既有善良的细民，又有奸猾的市井之徒；既有贪官污吏，又有侠义之士；既有大大小小的强力人物，又有艰苦谋生的普通百姓；既有激烈的“文革”残余极左人物，又有别有用心的自由派；既有官二代、富二代，也有小白领、小职员，令读者过目不忘，展现了作家敏锐的洞察力和独特的感受力，蕴涵了作者深刻的反思和无限的悲悯。

另一位更为年轻的茅盾文学奖获得者刘醒龙自上部获奖作品《天行者》之后，也推出了新作《蟠虺》。与刘心武从古典回归现实不同，作为乡土文学的代表，刘醒龙则是从乡村转向都市。书名——蟠虺，是中国青铜器上的纹饰，流行于春秋时期，作品运用了一个当下流行的悬疑式开头——青铜器学界的泰斗曾本之在一个黄昏突然收到了20年前跳楼的同事写给他的一封神秘的甲骨文信，当时他为什么自尽？真相是什么？作为一部以现实反思历史的小说，作品深入知识分子群体，描写了知识分子所面临的学术、人格的困惑，以及从传统文化过来的中国人如何面对现代世界，具有强烈的现实意义。作为两部转型之作，两位大家纷纷将笔触投向现实，引导读者关注当下，从这里我们将学会读懂当代生活，读懂当代中国。

罗伯特·加尔布雷思是谁？不知道，没关系。J·K·罗琳是谁，相信你一定知道。在新作《布谷鸟的呼唤》中，J·K·罗琳化名罗伯特·加尔布雷思，继上一部作品《偶发空缺》出版之后，又正式推出了自己的第一部推理小说，延续了上作中的英式黑色幽默风格，也继续保持了从儿童文学转型为面向成人读者的态势。作品围绕一桩雪夜坠楼案展开，全书弥漫着浓郁的英伦气息：梅菲尔区高尚静谧的街景，东区的后街酒吧，喧嚷的苏荷区，而书中塑造的私人侦探科莫兰·斯特莱克也给读者留下了深刻印象，莫兰·斯特莱克会成为柯南·道尔笔下福尔摩斯式的神探吗？他会是J·K·罗琳创作的下一个哈利·波特吗？读完此书，也许这些都是不少读者最为关心的问题，看起来一切似乎还是未完待续。

有转型也有承续，两位当红主持人的新作让我们得以继续借助他们的眼光、他们的视角去仔细看看这个世界。作为主持人界的高产作家，与其上一部合著作品《一个人与这个时代：白岩松二十年央视成长记录》仅隔半年，白岩松又带来新作《白岩松：行走在爱与恨之间》。作为一部关于行走和思考的散文随笔，作者以一个媒体人的视角，力求平实客观地将其在日本的一段记忆呈现给读者，也力图通过自己近距离的观察，剖析日本整个社会的政治、经济、文化、时尚等诸多方面。正如书名一般，面对日本这个让中国人又爱又恨的邻居国度，两种完全对立的情绪交织相合，或许我们可以像作者所说的那样，“把爱恨放下，先去了解”，这样也许我们更能看清更多的问题。

高中生课外阅读主流评价及影响阅读选择因素分析

尼采说，读书是散步在别人的知识和灵魂中。对于处于生长阶段的中学生来说，高品位的课外阅读往往是一个人精神成长的起点，可以丰富人生经验，影响个性形成、提升人格，是贴近生命融入血脉的精神享受，反之，则可能成为精神鸦片，腐蚀青春，糜烂思想，所以阅读书籍的选择是至关重要的。从高中生阅读书籍的选择来看，当代高中生课外阅读主流是健康的、好的。具体表现在：选择阅读经典名著的比例较大；名人传记在学生中比较流行，崇拜名人，向往英雄，从名人传记中汲取精神力量是一部分学生的心声；从书本中获取科学知识仍是相当一部分同学的选择；其他类作品中，以贴近生活实际，能提供给中学生成长经验的书籍为首选书籍。

但是，我们也不得不承认，在其他类39%的书籍中不排除一些流行但不适合中学生阅读的书籍。就是在经典传记、名著这些比较适合中学生阅读的作品中也存在从哪个角度把握的问题。

在实验调查中笔者还发现，影响高中生课外阅读的因素非常复杂，主要有； 1影视剧。比如中央电视台播演《汉武大帝》以后，许多同学对平时望而却步的《史记》《汉书》发生了兴趣，甚至引发了读史热。

2各类文化宣传活动。2004年九月青年作家郭敬明来学校演讲签售，校园内一时间出现了争相传看郭书的现象。2005年4月19日是世界著名物理大师爱因斯坦百年诞辰纪念日，笔者所在学校参加了世界物理组织举办的光束传递活动，与此同时，学生中涌起了一股看爱因斯坦传记以及介绍相关知识书籍的潮流。

3教师特别是语文教师的影响。教师的阅读爱好对学生有相当的感染力。

4语文教材以及相关学科内容的辐射影响。高一语文教材有〈呐喊序言〉，学生就课外阅读〈呐喊〉，教材学习〈论语〉和〈孟子〉篇章，〈论语〉《孟子》就倍受青睐。外语课学习欧亨利的作品，有同学课外阅读《欧亨利的作品集》。5学生个人兴趣和发展需要。一位学生先后看了一般人觉得枯燥的《浪漫心理学》《农民问题调查》《朝鲜战争内幕》，可以推断这位同学的兴趣所在。还有位叫杨朔的同学读的第一本书是《杨朔散文选》，显然出于对同名人的好奇。而在女生中流传较广的一本书则是《简 爱》。

6读书计划。有极少一部分同学严格按计划比较理性地读书。可见，高中生阅读状况不仅仅是语文学习的问题，它受学校、家庭、社会环境风尚的影响，是社会精神文明的一个缩影。要提高高中生阅读质量必须提高整个社会的文明程度。反过来，今日中学生的阅读质量又直接影响到明天社会的文明程度。美国总统克林顿发动“阅读革命”，要求全社会关注阅读、全员参与阅读，的确是有眼光的举措，课外阅读的确是一大的社会命题。但从当前语文教学现状看，偏偏是这个至关重要的环节，还是一片“未开垦的处女地” 虽然有一些老师做了一些探索，但总体上看中学生课外阅读基本还处在自流状态。怎样学会正确地选择阅读材料，哪个年级或年龄段适合读什么书，怎么读，什么时间读，怎样检查交流，这一系列问题尚缺乏深入的研究，所以，中学生课外阅读须加大研究力度，中学生课外阅读急需有力度的指导。

课外阅读指导的五条建议

（一）课程表应安排课外阅读的时间，让课外阅读从“地下”转到“地上”，从弹性要求变成硬性课程。否则，教师纵然将课外阅读重要性讲得天花乱坠，没有时间保证难以落实的。在这方面，山东高密一中提供了很好的经验，关键是要推广、学习。

（二）努力让经典走向生活

尽管选择阅读经典的学生占有一定比例，但也要看到相当一些学生认为经典著作莫测高深，敬而远之。教师要善于挖掘影响阅读因素中积极的一面，抓住契机，打通经典和生活的厚障壁，引导学生走进经典，比如，春节介绍学生看蒋子龙的《过年》，二月看柔石的《早春二月》，五月母亲节可以读高尔基的《母亲》，六月看《童年》，八月阅读与中秋节有关的诗文名篇……年年岁岁花相似，岁岁年年书相伴，当学生意识到阅读已成为生活不可缺少的一部分时。海格特的那句名言就生效了；阅读是为了活着。

（三）努力让时文走向经典

经典著作经过时间的检验，又有许多评介文章，适合高中生学生阅读的书籍基本达成共识。时文则不同。现代出版业发达，图书良莠不齐，有些书籍很不适合青少年阅读。这时教师的引导和建议就显得非常必要和重要，新课程标准在强调中学生要“正确自主地选择阅读材料”的同时，要求教师应根据不同学生的具体情况，适时推荐文化品位高、难易程度适当的课外读物，原因大概也在于此。在高达39%的其他类作品中，时文占了相当比例，主要类型有：1各类作文选，比如〈新概念作文〉〈高考优秀作文选〉，阅读目的主要是提高写作水平。2当红作者的作品，比如余秋雨、刘墉、韩寒、郭敬明等。笔者以为，余秋雨、刘墉散文比较适合中学生阅读，而韩寒、郭敬明作品即便是在中学生中也是有争议的。郭敬明的〈梦里花落知多少〉在班里交流时，有同学认为该书内容颓废消极，不适合作为中学生读物；也有一些同学被故事感动得涕泣连连，爱不释手。最后，我认真读了全文，交流了自己的看法，并告诉学生：读书关键是看读书人抱着怎样的心态眼光，当我们有了高尚的审美眼光，什么样的书都可以为我所用；但对于正处在世界观人生观价值观形成当中的中学生来说，应该选择那些积极向上、内涵丰富、文化含量高、可能成为经典的时文来阅读。3 教授人生经验的书。这类书有的教生存的智慧与艺术，是青年成长的导师，有的则授人以投机钻营术，很不严肃。4武侠言情小说。指导阅读，需要教师的眼光。

争取让传记伴随学生成长

传记类图书对中学生的价值不仅仅在于文学修养，读一本好的传记就是在和一位伟大的灵魂交谈，这种阅读对整个人生都可能产生巨大的影响。

争取让科学伴随学生求知

篇6：考研英语热点阅读

近日，来自国家新闻出版广电总局的消息，全民阅读立法已列入2013年国家立法工作计划。据介绍，全民阅读立法试图推动解决的主要问题包括：中国国民的平均阅读水平低于世界文化强国水平，需要采取有力的推进保障措施；未成年人阅读状况不容乐观，亟待改善；国民阅读公共资源和设施不足、不均衡；阅读内容良莠不齐，需要积极引导和扶持；全民阅读工作缺乏统一规划、组织保障和经费支持。

提升全民阅读的重要性不言而喻，然而通过政府力量来推动这一事务，成功与否取决于很多因素，我们的阅读立法的效果如何，未来还有待观察。立法并不能解决所有问题，更何况是涉及公民精神的问题。知识有其自我传播和自我筛选过程，优秀的精神食粮能通过阅读传递出去，同理没有价值的书籍很快被淘汰，对阅读内容的硬性规定，更应慎之又慎，防止知识的自我淘汰机制发生扭曲。

在此项立法要推动解决的问题中，除了阅读资源的不足和不均衡这一点，对于当前公民阅读所呈现的问题的病因的诊断方式仍未能充分公布出来。提及的阅读资源这一点，据早前北京市社科院的一项调研显示，文化馆、档案馆、基层图书馆和文化站等公共文化场所，年均光顾率不超过5次的受众比例均超过了90%;超过一半的市民一年中从来不去这几类文化场所，资源闲置状况严重。在搞不清社会为什么拒绝阅读的原因之前，如果仅仅从形式上推动公民阅读的氛围，可能沦为形象工程。这一点有关方面需保持清醒认识。

政府对于全民阅读的介入，既需要原则性的硬性规定，需要阅读资源的基础建设，更需要有识之士的灵活推动。例如上海在以上海图书馆为代表的推进全民阅读的活动中，在阅读资源上关注品质，在阅读形式上关注读者的需求。这就毫不奇怪，为什么今夏的上海，各级图书馆客流爆满，有人读书，也有人纳凉，图书馆真正成为市民休憩的文化空间。与之相对照，国内一些地区的图书馆和公共文化场所的空置浪费，不少正是由于管理者自身的问题，使得这些资源徒有其表，内容匮乏，自然也就不会吸引读者了。

全民阅读的水准，折射出整个社会的精神状况的涨落。而一个国家民族的竞争力取决于它的阅读的力量，已逐渐成为国际上普遍的共识。这种通过国家行动推动全民阅读的策略，无疑与当今把全民阅读纳入到国家战略的普遍做法相吻合。
