這是個涉及面廣的閱讀題,其內(nèi)容包含體育、科學、文學、航空和演藝。如果考生對人物了解得比較清楚,直接看備選項中的關(guān)鍵詞就可以找到答案。一看101題的圖就知道這是劉翔,他是個跨欄王。 D項中有sports,the 110-metre hurdles等關(guān)鍵詞。這樣就可以確定101應和D對應。馬季是個相聲演員,B項中的關(guān)鍵詞crosstalk可以幫助我們確定102應和B項對應。其他三個題也可以用此法進行判斷,這樣可以節(jié)省很多的時間,而且準確性也高。要想做到這一點,考生就必須全面了解中國,乃至全世界各行各業(yè)的熱點人物或事情。
二、 閱讀理解

五幅圖片介紹了五座名塔的特點,只要抓住這些特點,問題就能解決了。51題中的Tim只要求在塔邊度過一個晚上,這不就暗示需要有一個旅館嗎?中國上海的“東方明珠”,有一個20個房間的旅館,是個不錯的住宿處。52題中的Michael打算去歐洲寫一篇古塔報道,從物理和歷史書上,大家都知道意大利的比薩斜塔是在歐洲,而且很古老,最適合學歷史的學生去參觀。53題中的Gina喜歡購物,只有到有“shopping center”的地方去,故答案是D。 54題中的Sarah是要去最高的塔,只要看一下塔高就能確定答案為A。 剩下一個55題的答案只有選C了??梢姴捎谩翱磮笫健钡拈喿x方法,尋找特殊性,就能很快找到最佳答案。
三、 任務型閱讀
以下圖片呈現(xiàn)的是Mr King一家生活中不安全用電的現(xiàn)象。下面有五條針對其中五種不安全用電現(xiàn)象的建議,請你將每一種現(xiàn)象的編號(A,B ... F)填入相應建議前面的括號內(nèi)。(2007年浙江省溫州市)

【解題點撥】
本題的內(nèi)容貼近我們的生活,告訴我們許多安全用電的常識。71題中提到TV set,根據(jù)這一點,就知道答案該為C; 72題中有個baby,馬上就會明白答案為E; 73題中有l(wèi)amp,就知道答案應為B; 74題中提到了dog,所以答案為F; 從heater一詞就可確定75題的答案為A。
從以上中考題中,我們可以知道,“看報式”閱讀是值得我們借鑒的。它可以幫助我們擴大知識面,開闊視野,也能提高閱讀效率。
