關於英語大學聯考閲讀理解細節題解題技巧

綜觀近幾年的大學聯考英語閲讀題，儘管推斷題呈不斷上升的趨勢，但細節仍然佔有較大比例，而且已由過去簡單的對號入座直接答題轉向通過語句的同義或反義轉換來考查同學們對英語語言的理解能力，因此難度比往年有所增加。本文擬就細節題的不同類型談談其解題技巧。

一、語義轉換題——跳讀查找法

這是做事實細節題最基本也是最常用的方法。在通常情況下，細節題主要考查考生對某句話或某幾句話的理解，同學們若能根據題幹內容從原文中找到相關的句子，然後進行比較和分析，便可確定最佳答案。

運用跳讀查找法時，同學們要特別注意試題（包括選項）與原文之間的適當變換。根據近幾年的考題情況來看，現在很少有直接用原文中的句子進行考查和測試的，而通常要進行一定的處理。而這種“處理”主要就是指進行語義轉換，其中包括同義變換、概念解析、歸納事實等。請看下面的例子（重慶大學聯考英語試題）：

“My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy，” says a second-grade teacher in Saugus，California.“Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program（CBEP），a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading，writing and math skills，and more.

The children don’t just plan any city. They map and analyze（分析） the housing，energy，and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect（建築師） who visits the classroom once a week，they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations.“Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom，”says the teacher who developed this program.“They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame，because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact，as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program，an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city，and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”

CBEP is a set of activities，games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving：observing，analyzing，working out possible answers，and judging them based on the children’s own standards.

1. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom________ .

A. to find out kids’ creative ideas B. to discuss with the teacher

C. to give children lecturesD. to help kids with their program

2. Who is the designer of the program?

A. An official.B. An architect.C. A teacher.D. A scientist.

【解題分析】

1.選 D。根據第2段中的 With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week，they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations 可知答案為 D。句中的 aid 意為“幫助”，與 help 同義。

2.選 C。根據第2段中的 ... the teacher who developed this program 可知答案選 C。develop 與 design 在此大致同義。

二、生活應用題——常識理解法

生活應用題要求考生在讀懂文章的.基礎上結合一定的生活常識進行判斷。不過，有趣的是，大學聯考有時會出現一些“低級”常識判斷題，即無需看懂文章，也可選出最佳答案。請看一個實例（全國卷大學聯考英語試題）：

A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle；it can be a basket of fun，according to Beth Anaclerio，an Evaston mother of two，ages 4 and 18 months.

“Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents，and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn’t have to be that way，”said Anaclerio. Last summer，Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle，a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old，founded a home party-planning business called“A Party in a Basket”. Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning，like choosing the subject or making a cake，while they take care of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers，they have created（製作） 10 ready-to-use，home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party，except the cake and ice cream，is delivered to the home in a large basket.

“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10，” Anaclerio said，“And they’re very interactive（互動） and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example，at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.”

The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations，gifts，games and prizes，paper goods，a party planner and the like. For more information，call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.

h of the following is most likely to be a party planner?

A. B. C.D.

【解題分析】

先看四個選項（圖形）所表示的意思：選項 A 是一個記事本，左邊寫着 Date，Things to do ...，右邊寫着 People to invite...； 選項 B 是一份禮品；選項 C 是一張卡片，上面寫着 Happy Birthday；選項 D 是一份菜單，上面寫着 Potato soup 3.00...等。聰明的考生，只要注意到題幹中的 a party planner，便可排除 B、C 選項，因為根據常識，它們顯然不是 planner（計劃書）。至於 A、D 兩項到底選哪項呢？兩項都有點像 planner，但仔細比較一下便可知 A 最佳。a party planner 的意思是“晚會計劃書”，根據常識，要計劃一場晚會，當然首先要明確日期（date），還要確定做些什麼事（things to do）以及邀請什麼人（people to invite）等；而選項D只是一份菜單，它標明的只是一些菜的價格，顯然與 a party planner 不符。
