专题三阅读理解(这是边文，请据需要手工删加)高考阅读理解要求考生在25～30分钟的时间内完成对四篇不同题材、体裁的短文的理解，是整个高考试题中难度最大、区分度最高的题型。
它不仅考查考生对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查考生快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。
考生不仅要理解文章的表层意思，更重要的是通过表层意思去合理推断、挖掘文章的隐含意义、延伸意义。
它是对考生能力、智力、心理的综合检验。
Ⅰ.常用阅读方法第一招跳读又称略读，就是以尽快的速度跳跃式地浏览文章的标题、起始段或结尾段、每段的首尾句以及表示句、段关系的连接性词语等重要部分，以了解文章的大意或主题思想。
即有选择地阅读，在文章中找到一个或几个关键词。
用这种阅读方法回答who、what、when、why 之类的问题最为有效。
例如：1．(2014·高考江西卷)Chinese Folk Dancing：Colorful Chinese dance and musical performances by The Chinese Folk Dancing School of Sydney.Dances include：the Golden stick dance and the Chinese drum dance.A feature will be the Qin dynasty Emperor’s count dance.Also included is a show of face painting for Beijing opera performances.Sunday 29 June and Wednesday 2 July in the Turbine Hall，at 11.30 am & 1.30 pm.When can you watch the Chinese drum dance?A．On July 2.B．On July 3.C．On July 6. D．On July 8.解析：选A。
细节理解题。
根据Chinese Folk Dancing部分第二句“Dances include：the Golden stick dance and the Chinese drum dance.”可知包括了Chinese drum dance。
而Chinese Folk Dancing的时间是“Sunday 29 June and Wednesday 2 July in the Turbine Hall，at 11.30 am & 1.30 pm.”。
故A项正确，在July 2可以欣赏到Chinese drum dance。
2．(2013·高考新课标全国卷Ⅱ)Given that many people’s moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory，Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.What is good about chocolate?A．It serves as a suitable gift.B．It works as an effective medicine.C．It helps improve the state of mind.D．It strengthens business relations.解析：选C。
细节理解题。
根据文章第一句可知，巧克力中化学成分可以调整人的情绪，故选C 。
第二招 寻读寻读又称查读，即带着问题去快速阅读，以求在短时间内准确地寻找到我们所需要的信息。
通过“寻读”锁定特定的信息和内容，比如数字、日期、人名等。
快速地捕捉和理解与题干有关的事实细节，不必细读全文。
寻读时要以很快的速度扫视文章，确定所查询的信息范围。
例如：With help from a Mr.H ，you can ________．A ．stop using batteriesB ．finish your homework on timeC ．remember your teachers ’ instructionsD ．get your room tidied on your way home解析：选B 。
细节理解题。
利用“寻读”迅速锁定第一则广告中含有Mr.H 的句子“Are you having problems finishing your homework on time ？”“Mr.H can be programmed to organize your homework.”可得出正确答案为B 项。
2．(2013·高考江苏卷)If a diver surfaces too quickly ，he may suffer the bends.Nitrogen(氮)dissolved(溶解)in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure.The consequence ，if the bubbles(气泡)accumulate in a joint ，is sharp pain and a bent body —thus the name.If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain ，the consequence can be death.Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?A ．A twisted body.B ．A gradual decrease in blood supply.C ．A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.D ．A drop in blood pressure.解析：选A 。
细节理解题。
根据the bends 可定位到文章第一段。
由“The consequence ，if the bubbles(气泡)accumulate in a joint ，is sharp pain and a bent body —thus the name.”可知答案。
a bent body 和a twisted body 是同义转换。
由第二句的“...suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure.”可知这是说的the bends 的形成原因，故C 和 D 项错。
而B 项文章中没有提及。
第三招 研读通过略读了解文章主旨和通过查读找到了相关的范围之后，在相关范围内逐句、逐词地阅读，不仅要理解其字面意思，而且要通过分析、综合、比较、联想等思维方法，并结合自己已有的知识和经验进行推理、判断，来理解文章的深层含义，以及作者的立场、观点、态度或意图等。
例如：1．(2014·高考安徽卷)You may not have heard of Ashoka，but for the past 27 years，this association，founded by Bill Drayton，has fought poverty(贫困)and sickness，promoted education and encouraged small businesses.To support these worthy causes，Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising “changemakers”seeking to solve(解决)urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change.The important thing is to simply give yourself permission.If you see a problem that you care about，you can help solve it.The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy，healthy，contributing adult.In fact，it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka，which handled the rubbish problem facing the city，helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets，attracting rats and disease，they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste.So they educated the poor people in the city to compost(把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers(化肥)which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years.At first，they were refused，but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made，the project took off.In 2009 sales were $14，000.Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious，practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.The author’s atti tude towards Ashoka’s program can be described as________．A．changing B．forgivingC．cautious D．positive解析：选D。
