利用新概念英语检测基础知识的环节暂时告一段落,今天开始又就高考真题学习一些解题技巧。下面以2019高考英语全国卷 II 阅读理解A为例。
高考英语全国卷阅读理解A通常是应用文中的海报、招贴、宣传单之类,这类文段的段落之间的逻辑联系是比较松散的,所以无须从头到尾通读,考查跳读(skipping)能力。
先看标题My Favourite Books,再看Here she picks her top reads., 知道这个文段是Jo Usmar写的4本书目介绍就OK了。当然还要知道每个介绍第一行是书名,第2行是作者名。干扰项的设置主要是针对书名和作者名的。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres,Miss Trunchbull,are equally fumy and frightening,but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters-Eri,a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping,and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

有人把阅读A篇戏称为送分题,但作为学习过程,答题对答案后,其它与题设无关的词汇和语言点也要弄清楚,这样才能学得扎实,学有所得。
