点评 科普类阅读技巧:
1、浏览.浏览的主要目的就是确定文章的体裁.如果文章属于人物传记、记叙文、故事、科普小品和有关社会文化、文史知识的文章,一般来说,应该先看看文章的试题考查内容,对题目类型做到心中有数,针对不同问题,在通读时有粗有细地去阅读,这样不仅能把握篇章的基本结构和逻辑线索,也能做好有关具体事实信息考查的试题.
2、挖掘寓意,掌握中心思想,推出结论.任何文章,作者在行文时都有一定的写作目的和主要话题.在通读篇章时应该吃透作者的写作意图,抓住文章的主题句,充分发挥自己的想象力和概括力,作出对中心思想的归纳和结论的推断.
3、把握篇章结构,利用上下文进行推测.高考中的阅读理解篇章往往是一个较完整的短文,其结构、思想,前后上下连贯统一.考试时应充分利用这一特点推测一些生词、短语在句中的含义,切莫盲目孤立猜测.
4、综观全篇,前后呼应.这是阅读理解的最后一步,在做完阅读理解题后,要立足于文章整体,再迅速读一遍短文,短文中的问题和答案的设置前后都是相关联的,有着一定的连续性,体现着文章的基本脉络.
