一、 精读完形真题,长难句分析

话题:父亲营救儿子 

Two weeks earlier, my son, Ben, had got in touch. He’d moved to England with his mum when he was three and it had been 13 years since I’d  last seen him. So imagine my  delight when he emailed me saying he wanted to come to visit me.

I was thrilled ! I arrived early at Byron Bay where we were supposed to  meet .The bay was  bathed in sunshine, and there was a group of kayakers around 150m off the shore. Getting a little  closer ,I realized one kayak (皮划艇) was in  trouble .“Something’s not  right !” I took off my T-shirt and  dived into the water. I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying across the middle. He was  shaking violently. Linking arms with one of the instructors, I helped  carry the young man out of the water. He was unconscious and as I looked at his face, something  occurred to me. Those brown eyes were very  familiar “What’s his name?” I asked the instructor. “Ben,” he replied, and immediately I  knew .That stranger was my son!

The instructors called for an ambulance. Fortunately ,after a brief stay in hospital, Ben was well enough to be allowed to  leave and later the family met up for dinner. We chatted about everything and then Ben  turned to me. “I just want to say thank you,” he said. “You  saved my life!”

I still can’t believe what a coincidence it was. I’m just so glad I was there  in time to help my son.

长难句分析:

So imagine my delight when he emailed me saying he wanted to come to visit me.

这是一个复合句;主句是祈使句So imagine my delight, when引导一个时间状语从句,现在分词短语saying he wanted to come to visit me作伴随状语修饰动词emailed。

翻译:所以当他给我发邮件说要来看我时想象一下我多么高兴。

三、阅读理解应试技巧:

首先,我们说一说答题步驟:A) 读文章:略读即可,了解文章大体脉络。抓出主谓宾.如果是不太懂,看清关键词即可。B) 回答題目: 一定树立文本意识,一定读完题干后,回到原文中寻找答案,确定答案所在段落,并在文中标出题号划出词句,在整理思路的同时也有助于我们之后的检查。一般情况下,题目答案所在段落是按照题号顺序的,有助于大家快速锁定答案,特别是应用文。C) 注意陷阱。看一看题目要求是TRUE还是 NOT TRUE每題做完后,要查一下其他答案,确定是干扰项。

阅读理解干扰项特点:①部分正确,部分错误:②根据题干中的关键词定位到某个段落,若选项中出现这个范围之外其他段落的内容必错:③符合常识,但不是文章的内容:④与原句的内容极为相似,但程度上有些变动,如:将文中并非绝对化的内容绝对化,或偷梁换柱改动一些关键词:⑤明显与文章信息不符或是相反。

高考阅读理解根据不同的文体,解题策略也有所不同。应用文一般出现在A篇,这类文章的做题方法主要是“顺藤摸瓜”,根据题干中的关键词找到所在段落,然后快速锁定答案。B、C、D篇有可能是故事类文章、科技类文章、社会话题议论,在做题时,要圈划题目问题中的关键词。然后结合总体脉络,迅速找到原文的相应处,仔细研究该句,并结合上下句,有时候甚至需要结合主旨来做出判新,因为有些细节题需要对原文有深层次的理解和推断。总结主旨大意时不能以偏概全,也不能过于宽泛或者脱离中心思想,要恰如其分,对于态度意图除了紧扣上面说的关键部分,还要注意具体措辞,比如表达情感色彩的、评价性的形容词,体现出态度的动词(比如情态动词),以及作者的语气和句式。判断一定要完全从文中来,不可主观臆断。

四、 书面表达句式:

今天我们再复习一下描写人物的句子,可以用在介绍朋友老师和自己:

1、Mary has worked as a teacher since she graduated from education university 7 years ago.

2、 Mary has worked as an accountant since she passed a written exam 5 years ago.

3、 He is friendly, selfless and cooperative with his teammates.

4、I am active, energetic and enthusiastic about everything.

5、 He is confident, responsible and careful with everything he does.
