做“选择型阅读理解”一定要有的放矢，带着问题去阅读。考生最好先把文章后的问题浏览一遍，并把问题中的一些关键词圈出来，然后带着问题阅读。第一遍可以采取略读和快速阅读的方法，把可能是答案的地方画出来，然后对照每个小题选择的范围，提高准确率。

阅读理解常见问题的类型如下：

（1）客观具体性问题。这类型的问题比较简单，属于识字得分题，通常可在原文原句中找到答案，如事情发生的时间，地点或原因；

（2）判断推理性问题。这类型问题的常见提问方式包括猜测作者的意图（purpose/aim），推测可能会产生的结果，判断信息的正误（true/not true）。这类型问题的答案通常不能从文章中直接获取，需要结合语境，作者的态度和目的，归整分散的信息，然后进行分析判断或者合理的推测。对于含有only，all，every，never，none，no one等绝对化表达的选项要分外留意；

（3）概括性问题。这类型问题的常见提问方式包括文章的标题（title）、大意（main idea）和结论（conclusion）等。这类问题比上一类难，不能直接得出答案。必须在理解全文的基础上，对信息进行归纳整合。做这类型的题目时，先采取排除法，缩小范围后，联系上下文。排除片面的选项，选择最具概括性或总结性的答案。
