1、记叙文记叙文又可分传记类和故事类。传记类文章在阅读中时间是全文的关键，根据时间我们可以找到相关的事件，抓住文章的主要内容。故事类文章情节性较强，阅读时要注意故事中的时间、地点、人物和发生的事件，这些都是文章中的主要内容和信息，对于准确理解文章十分重要。2、说明文说明文是对事物的形状、性质、特征、成果或功用等进行介绍，解释或阐述的文章。把握所说明事物的特征和本质是理解说明文的关键。说明事物特征的方法很多，主要有定义法、解释法、比较法、比喻法、数字法、图表法、引用法和举例法等。(1)数字说明文在阅读数字说明文时要特别注意文中数字的含义，从这些数字中可以找到文章的主要内容。(2)解释说明文解释说明文着重说明事物的本质、特征和功用等。许多科普文章都属于这一类。在阅读这类文章时要学会解决what，how,why等一类的问题。它们是文章的关键。如能带着这些问题阅读，将会更迅速抓住文章的主题。(3)比较说明文比较说明文是通过对比方法说明问题。在阅读这类文章时要善于把握全篇陈述的基本倾向。作者在谈论一个有争议的问题时总要顾及到争议的各个方面。但是，在一般情况下，作者的陈述总要倾向于某一种观点。3、应用文应用文涉及的范围比较广，包括广告、通知、书信等。应用文一般语言简洁，省略及不规范的句子较多。阅读时一般要求考生全面掌握文章中提供的信息，并运用这些信息去解决问题。因此对题干的理解尤为重要。
阅读是人们获取信息的重要途径。对于我国中学英语教学来说，阅读始终为中学英语教学的关键组成部分，而高考英语是中学英语教学中非常关键的组成部分。下面就是我给大家整理的高考 英语阅读 文章 ，希望大家喜欢。高考英语阅读文章篇一：交友 Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed(有缺陷)? If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time. Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some o f the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else. You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior(自卑) because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes yo u as a person. The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any. 36. According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends. A. admitting your shortcomings B. self criticism C. modesty D. confidence 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我们强调我们的缺点有可能在交朋友方面成为绊脚石，那么我们就应该自信，故选D。 37. If you are not liked by a person, _________ . A. you should find the reason in yourself B. you’d better talk with the person face to face C. you may not be the one to be blamed D. you and that person misunderstand each other 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜欢你也许和你一点关系都没有，你也许不应该受到责备，故选C。 38. We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________ . A. your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws B. your weakness may also be your strengths in some way C. your negative qualities cause a person to reject you D. you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱点也许是在某方面是你的强项，故选B。 39. Which of the following is true according to the author? A. It is important to lose weight. B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends. C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance. D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve yo ur physical beauty. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends.内心的美比外在的美要重要的多，故选C。 40. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write? A. How to find your good qualities. B. How to make friends. C. How to make self criticism. D. How to lose weight. 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.既然找到了交不上朋友的原因 ，那么就应该找出自己的好的品质，下面就应该写如何找到自己好的品质，故选A。 高考英语阅读文章篇二：太阳能 Sunny countries are often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode(二极管). The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again. The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the system's keeper must buy a scratch card—for as little as a dollar—on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by SMS to Eight19. The company's server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit. Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 m onths—the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell. In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably. According to Eight19's figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half tha t, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar tech nology falls, it should get even cheaper. 41. The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______ . A. make use of B. come up with C. look into D. deal with 【答案】D 【解析】词义猜测题。make use of利用; come up with想出; look into调查; deal with处理。根据solar power is still quite expensive及Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to因为太阳能仍然很贵，所以Eight19发明了一个新的 方法 来解决这个问题，故选D。 42. What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up? A. Buy a scratch card. B. Recharge it outside. C. Buy another solar cell. D. Return it to the company. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知没有电了，你可以把它放在外面重新充电，故选A。 43. How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a solar cell? A. Around $10. B. Around $80. C. Around $90. D. Around $180. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章1,3段After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it. 和In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate watts of electricity可知在你拥有这些之前，你要花费90元。故选C。 44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________ __. A. Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell B. using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money C. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricity D. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cells 【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a month on oil—enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps—plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight19's basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.可知这样做会让太阳能的成本降低，会给肯尼亚的人来到好处。故选B。 45. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Solar Energy: Starting from Scratch. B. Eight19: a creative British Company. C. Kenyan Families: Using Solar Energy for Free. D. Poor Countries: Beginning to Use Solar Ene rgy 【答案】A 【解析】标题归纳题。根据文章主题段第一段内容可知本文讲述的是Eight19,这家英国的公司所采用的使用太阳能的一种新的方法，故选A。 高考英语阅读文章篇三：加薪 While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase. The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise! Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off! Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was. After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.” Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work. The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure. 31. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday? A. To request a wage increase from his boss. B. To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. C. To celebrate his success with his wife at home. D. To ask his boss to come for dinner. 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。由“he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.”可知他打算要求老板给他加薪。故选A。 32. On his way back home, Andrew _________. A. felt weak in the knees B. was punished by the traffic policeman C. was too anxious to share the news D. couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。由“Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits”中“尽管超出了城市及国家的最高车速”可 知Andrew车开的很快，说明他很急切地回家去分享这个好消息。故选C。 33. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE? A. Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster. B. Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company. C. Andrew’s boss agreed to his request. D. One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。第五段“a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor.”提到妻子还写了一封信。根据后面信的内容，妻子不知道他加薪的要求是否取得了老板的同意而准备了两封信。所以没有人告诉他妻子这个好消息。故选D。 34. Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day? A. She was confident of his getting a pay raise. B. She meant to show her support whatever the result would be. C. She believed t hat her husband was the best in his company. D. She wanted to express her gratitude for his devoti on to the family. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。“Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work. ”说明Tina对他的支持不是基于他在工作上的成功。无论结果如何她都会支持他。故选B。 35. We can conclude from the text that ______. A. we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us B. work hard and you will be rewarded C. many fears turn out to be unfounded D. unconditional love brin gs courage and strength 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。最后一句“we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our su ccess or failure.”说明无条件的爱带来勇气和力量。 以上就是我为你整理的高考英语阅读文章，希望对你有帮助!
高考英语阅读理解文章分两类
1、记叙文：记叙文又可分传记类和故事类。传记类文章在阅读中时间是全文的关键，根据时间我们可以找到相关的事件，抓住文章的主要内容。故事类文章情节性较强，阅读时要注意故事中的时间、地点、人物和发生的事件，这些都是文章中的主要内容和信息，对于准确理解文章十分重要。
2、说明文：说明文是对事物的形状、性质、特征、成果或功用等进行介绍，解释或阐述的文章。把握所说明事物的特征和本质是理解说明文的关键。说明事物特征的方法很多，主要有定义法、解释法、比较法、比喻法、数字法、图表法、引用法和举例法等。
阅读技巧
1、认真阅读文章：在做阅读之前将思绪放平，仔细的阅读这篇文章，尽可能的去了解文中的意思，慢慢摸清文章的主旨。因为文中极有可能出现后面题目的答案，我们要做的就是细心，一字一句的研读，将文中关键的语句记下来，方面之后我们在回来寻找。
2、答题时看准题目：在回答阅读理解的题目是一定不要跑题，在这个位置，出题的老师很容易玩文字游戏。所以要认真阅读题目，不要把中心思想写成某一个词语的意思。还有一点重要的就是不要过分解读题目。

Passage 1
In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.
Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success untilthey met Ray Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).
Today McDonald's is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald's had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.

Passage2
You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need; let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well-known colleges say theydeal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of aboutone per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicants lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them impostors(); another refers to them asspecial cases. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made byno such people.
To avoid outright(彻底的')lies, some job-seekers claim that they attended or were associated with a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that attending means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that being associated with a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century-that's when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony(假的)diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from Smoot State prices increase rapidly for a degree from the University of Purdue. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.
6. The main idea of this passage is that.
A)employers are checking more closely on applicants now
B)lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem
C)college degrees can now be purchased easily
D)employers are no longer interested in college degrees
7. According to the passage, special cases refer to cases where.
A)students attend a school only part-time
B)students never attended a school they listed on their application
C)students purchase false degrees from commercial films
D)students attended a famous school
8. We can infer from the passage that.
A)performance is a better judge of ability that a college degree
B)experience is the best teacher
C)past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do
D)a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job petition
9. This passage implies that.
A)buying a false degree is not moral
B)personnel officers only consider applicants from famousschools
C)most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school
D)society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications
10. As used in the first line of the second paragraph, the word utter means.
A)address
B)thorough
C)ultimate
D)decisive

英语阅读理解的技巧与方法
英语阅读理解的技巧与方法，相信每一位同学在做英语试题的时候都会苦恼于阅读理解吧，毕竟英语阅读理解的文章很大一篇，很难搞懂究竟是什么意思，那么做英语阅读的技巧与方法有哪些呢？
了解文章主要意思
做英语阅读理解就好像做语文阅读理解时一样，要知道这篇文章的主旨或者说是中心思想，对文章所讲的主旨内容和它的中心思想做到心里有数。达到一种高度——只要一做英语阅读理解题，脑子里就要条件反射的蹦出主要意思，然后再去阅读问题和文章。
先看问题，再粗读文章
带着寻找主要意思的思想，先去看一遍问题，把问题中的关键词圈出来，然后再去粗略的读一遍文章。在读的时候，不用做到每个单词都看懂，每句话都能翻译出来。只要对文章大致上有一个了解就够了，这样文章的主要意思也就出来了。
精读问题和所标记的句子
读完通篇的同时，也把跟问题有关的的句子画出来了，这个时候再去精读标记的句子，仔细研究问题和跟问题有关的句子，琢磨其意思，尽量做到胸有成竹，然后再回答每一个问题。
静下心来做题，合理安排时间
初中阅读理解所问的问题一般跟文章中的原话相差无几，有时候会同义词转换一下，或者因果颠倒。只要打好基础，认得一篇文章中百分之七十到八十的英语单词，基本上就能做对题。在做题的`时候，合理分配做题时间，一篇阅读理解最多不能超过二十分钟。
1、不但要求掌握所读材料的主旨大意、中心思想，而且要求掌握文章中的详细事实与细节。
2、不但要求对于具体事实情节的理解，而且要求对其抽象含义的理解，既要理解字面意思，又要理解其深层含义，包括作者的态度、观点、意图等。
3、既要求理解文章中某句、某段的含义及全文的逻辑关系，又要求根据其含义及逻辑关系进行判断和推理。
4、既要求考生能够运用材料中的信息去理解、分析问题；又要求考生能运用中学生应有的生活常识去分析、理解问题。
如何讲解英语阅读理解解题技巧
英语阅读是英语学习中非常重要的环节之一,在目前国内的中考、高考中与阅读相关的试题占卷面成绩的百分之五十以上,下面我收集的中考英语阅读理解的解题技巧讲解，大家一起来学习一下吧!
【中考英语阅读理解解题技巧讲解】
中小学英语课程标准在读的方面有如下要求：
1.能正确、流畅地朗读各种文体的新语言材料并能准确运用英语朗读技巧。
2.能借助词典阅读包括信件、广告、说明等形式的语言材料，理解意思，并能在整体理解文章的基础上进行推测判断。
3.能理解标志、图表提供的文字信息。
4.能不借助词典读懂含3% -5%生词的语言材料。
5.能从网络等文字读物中获取基本信息。
6.课外阅读量不少于20万词(累计)。
从近几年初中升学考试试卷来看，阅读理解考题的类型大致可分为三种：
1.阅读短文，选择答案
这类题目类型是阅读理解最常考的一种。这类题型的选项应在理解短文的基础上做出判断，坚持短文内容与考项对比的方法，把一些与短文内容明显相符或不相符的答案选出来，然后再对要求根据上下文进行推埋的考项即短文伪容中没有直接答案的考项进行推断。
2.阅读短文，判断正误
这种题型要求应考者根据短文的内容，对所列的句子与短文内容是否相符做出正误判断。应考者做这类考题时应特别注意反义词、近义词以及一些词组的互替使用。
3.阅读短文，回答问题
考生对这种题型除了将考项的内容与短文内容对比之外，还应特别留意一般疑问句、特殊疑问句和反意疑问句。对于一般疑问句，回答要简洁明了，用Yes，No。对于特殊疑问句的回答，切忌用Yes，No，答话也应尽量简单，可以避免不必要的丢分。对于反意疑问句，应根据反意疑问句的特点和短文的内容仔细分析。
此外纵观这几年全国各地的中考“阅读理解”试题，用于阅读理解测试的语篇内容涉及社会生活的方方面面，除了一般的英语故事外，还有书信、通知、广告、交通图、各种表格等。在体现知识测试的同时，更注重英语的实际应用。因此，要做好中考英语试题中的语篇“阅读理解”题，需要我们具备较强的“阅读”和“理解”能力。其中包括：阅读、理解英语文字信息的能力;阅读、理解各种图表的能力;快速阅读能力;根据上下文猜测英文生词词义的能力;迅速捕捉文章大意的能力;分析、判断和独立解决问题的能力。还有合理分配和利用时间的`能力以及各项能力的综合运用。
(二)阅读理解精设考点
1.考查掌握所读材料的主旨和大意的能力。
此类考查主旨和大意的题大多数针对段落(或短文)的主题，主题思想，标题或目的。而获取段落的主旨和大意最有效的办法是找出主题句。一篇文章(或一段文章)通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的。而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句(主题句一般在段首，即文章开头的第一、二句，有时也会出现在文章的最后)。假如没有主题句，在阅读时要仔细通读全文，注意文中所叙述的事实与细节是否围绕主题。这类题的主要提问方式有：
1) Which is the best title of the passage?
2) Which of the following is this passage about?
3) In this passage the writer tries to tell us that____.
4) The passage tells us that_____.
5) This passage mainly talks about____.
附：阅读理解题目类型及解题方法。
1、细节理解题
*此类题主要考察学生对相关信息的识别能力， 答案一般在原文中能找到。
*答题时应迅速找到它的考察点，切不可望文生义或主观臆断。
*出题中所设的干扰项一般与文中的观点截然相反，要么不符，要么未涉及，相对容易排除。
2、文章(段落)主旨大意题
Which is the best title of the passage?
The writer thinks________.
The writer wants to tell us__________.
The main idea of the passage is________.
*切忌以点代面，以偏概全。文章的首尾句及各段的首尾句往往是探察全文内容的窗口，阅读时要学会找出文章的中心句。
*在阅读过程中，可通过略读来快速把握文章的中心，阅读时视阈要宽，紧抓对主题句的搜索，按意群进行阅读，避免阅读中的出声、指读、复视或停顿。
*学会猜词、跳词阅读，以暂时记忆迅速在头脑中清晰把握文章的大意。
3、推理判断题
此类题需要透过文章信息进行深入的分析、综合、归纳等推断，需根据上下文及其内在联系对篇章进行深入的分析。
1) How many times did the tiger come into the village?
*每段的首句，含有重要的解题线索。
2) From the second paragraph we know_____.
*在把握全篇的基础上，细读这一段。
4、是非判断题
Which of the following is (NOT) true?
Which of the following descriptions about… is right?
*干扰项常常是无中生有，张冠李戴，以偏概全，扩大内容。
5、词意句意题
What does the word “…” mean in paragraph 3?
What does the sentence “…” really mean?
In the last paragraph, “…” means___.
What does the underlined word mean?
*学会猜词
(1)根据构词法猜词义。
前缀或后缀-ful(形容词后缀), -less(无，没有，构成形容词), -ly(副词后缀), un-(不，非,未), dis-(相反，否定)re-(重新)
appear disappear, agree disagree, tie untie, happy unhappy, careful, careless, hope hopeless, comfortable uncomfortable
(2)根据上下文猜词义。
它和前后文有着必然的联系,只有把握作者的脉搏，理清逻辑链条,才能锁定生词的含义。
(3)旧词新义现象。
如：Australians put their shirt “tails” on the clothes line after washing, because they usually put them into their trousers. “tails” 一词原意为“尾巴”，而在此处的意思为衬衫的“_______”。
(4)依解释
Microscope is an instrument(工具)that makes small near objects seems means_______.
*有时我们能从生词的前后找到解释性的文字。
第一.我们已经把英语阅读当成了语文课阅读，试问，我们的学生真正能向语文课一样理解课文吗？第二.尽量让学生读懂：1.理解句子，2.抄写其中的长句难句；3.掌握一些词的多义性；4.后设置一些问题检测理解程度。5.让学生朗读，欣赏文章。第三.请不要过分的解读其中的词的用法；不要过分的讲英语语法；不要过分地分析句子结构。

从以上统计中我们看出 ,高考对考生在获取信息和处理信息的速度上是有要求的 ,而且这一要求在逐年提高。从目前的统计数字看 ,高考阅读量还有提高的余地。最新的高中课程标准对合格高中毕业生阅读外语速度的要求是每分钟 70 - 80 个词。
其次 ,阅读理解文章的题材和体裁也更加多样化 ,更贴近生活。每份试题中至少有十几个单词标中文注释 ,除此之外 ,还有一些课本里没有出现过的词需要学生从文章的上下文中去猜词义。另外 ,近几年来高考英语阅读理解试题中增加了“搜寻信息”的考查内容。例如 ,1996 年试题 E阅读给出了 3 个赛事的通知 ,其后的第 70 小题就是这方面的考查内容:If youwant to find something to do for Saturday afternoon ,which telephone number will you call ?总的来说 ,高考英语篇章阅读理解试题对
考生提出了如下的能力要求:
1.丰富的英语词语知识和巩固、扎实、熟练的英语语法知识。
2.综合运用各项英语基础知识和阅读技巧 ,进行快速阅读、获取信息的能力。
3.正确的阅读方法、科学的阅读技巧及合理的阅读速度 达到大纲规定的要求 70 - 80wpm 。
4.正确分析认识文章结构 ,理解各段落、各层次之间的逻辑关系和表达的方法。
5.良好的学习品质 ,敏捷的思维活动 ,正确的思考习惯。要求学生善于捕捉信息 ,理解深刻 ,推导合理 ,判断准确。
6.丰富的阅历 ,广博的知识 ,多样的背景知识。
阅读理解的能力要求 ,主要是通过短文后的多项选择试题进行检测的。总体来说 ,其能力要求内容主要包括如下几个方面:a 理解作者的思想、观点 ,意图;b 理解主题思想 ,进行总结概括;c 理解文章中所提供的细节 ,其中包括词义、句义和段落大意。d 透过表面文字 ,挖掘和理解文章的深层次含义。通过分析对比 ,总结归纳 ,推理判断等诸项思维活动 ,推导隐含的寓意。从历年的高考试题来看这种能力要求反映在多项选择题中 ,可分为:1 认定事实 ,理解主题;2 理解文章中所提供的细节 ,综合概括并推导结论;3 推理判断 ,联想猜测 ,辨别语气;4 理解人物性格 ,识别图形等。如果把这些试题的考查内容概括起来;基本上分为4 类试题: ①猜测词义试题: ②理解认定事实试题 直接理解和语义转换理解 ; ③归纳概括试题; ④推理判断题。
二、历年高考的阅读理解分析
阅读中的难点主要可以分为 3 类：生词、长而复杂句子、英美文化障碍。
(1) 猜测生词词义：阅读中碰到生词时，首先应根据句子的意思判断出此单词的词性及其感情色彩和其在句子中所充当的成分;然后根据我们平常所学的构词法知识，联系上下文和平时积累的常识，来推测这个单词的意义。并且猜测单词时，没有必要猜测出其准确的意义，只要能猜出其大概意义即可。
① 根据构词法猜测词义：我们所学过的构词法主要有 3 种：派生法、转化法和合成法。
Most seaweed is red and brown in color. (seaweed由sea与weed合成，意为“海草”)
Invariably the background was the same. (invariably由in + vary + able + ly 构成，意为“不可改变地”)
You’ll be punished if you desert rubbish everywhere. (desert 由名词 desert 转化而成，意为“丢弃”)
② 根据上下文的语境猜测词义：我们可利用定义、解释、重述、用途、同义词、反义词、同义结构、反义结构及逻辑关系来猜测单词。
Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds. (由 devour 与后面动词 kill的并列结构得知 devour 意为“毁坏”)
Wood and skins have easily rotted away, but stone doesn’t decay. (根据 but 的反义结构可知 decay 意为“腐烂”)
③ 根据常识猜测词义：我们可根据所学的知识及生活经验来猜测单词。
His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, and he finally became Emperor of France. (由常识“拿破仑是法国的皇帝”可知 Emperor 意为“皇帝”)
Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them good sport. (由句子的'意义可看出 alpinist 意为“把登山作为体育运动的人”)
(2) 分析理解长而难的句子：英语文章中，有时为了使表达准确、语言严谨，往往采用插入语、分隔结构、倒装结构、同位结构、省略结构、分词结构及 it 的句型再加上并列复合句、主从复合句，使句子很长而结构纷繁复杂，给阅读理解带来了很大的困难。然而，考生们不要慌张，对于这类句子应从句子的层次入手，先抓主句的主干，即：主、谓、宾、补、状，再理清其枝叶，即从句及其他修饰成分。如：
It is animals and plants that lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved, for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial, and it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes, where mud and silt(淤泥) have been continuously deposited(沉积), that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.
这个句子是由 and 连接两个强调句型的并列句。第 1 个并列句子的主句为：It is animals and plants that lived in or near water，它的后面带了一个原因状语从句：for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial，而句子中whose所引导的句子是一个定语从句，隔位修饰前面的animals and plants 而不是 water;第 2 个并列句子的主句为：it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved，而 where 所引导的句子为定语从句，对前面的the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes 进行修饰。
通过上面的分析，这个长而复杂的句子也就不难理解：那些它们的尸体很可能被保存起来的动物和植物正是生活在水边或水里，因为，被保存的一个必要条件就是被迅速掩埋;也只有在海里或河里，有时在湖里，这些地方由于泥沙不停地沉积，尸体及此类东西才很快被掩埋，从而得到保存。
(3) 消除英美文化障碍：虽然，对英美文化的了解是一个长时间的积累过程，但是，对于具体的文化障碍，我们可以从上下文的语境中去理解，或通过中西方文化的比较或用生活的常识加以分析理解。如：
These days, it is differences in national regulations, far more than tariffs that put sand in the wheels of trade between rich countries. (大家知道，自行车轮胎若粘满了泥沙，车就不能前进，那么，put sand in the wheels of trade 就意味着“阻碍贸易的进行”)
一、根据文体特征，快速抓住要点
在上一节的知识必备中，我们讲到了英语中各种不同文体的特征。考生在英语考试中，就可以运用这方面的知识，根据文章的不同体裁的写作方法，迅速提取文章的信息。
二、紧抓主题句，快速理解全文
无论是读书，还是看报纸，我们首先见到的就是一篇文章的标题。标题往往是文章中心的高度浓缩;标题是一篇文章的纲，统帅全文。它是我们藉以了解文章的内容、作者的写作目的和意图的窗口。一般说来，我们只要读懂了标题，就基本上把握了文章阅读理解方向。
英语文章一般是按“总—分—总”这样一种思路来写的，也就是说，文章的第 1 句或第 2 句 多半为“总写”，为文章的主题句(topic sentence)，后面的文字就围绕它展开论述;而最后一句(尾句)或倒数第 2 句，就是在论述的基础上进行总结，得出结论或发出感慨。同样，往往每一段的第 1 句 又为这一段的主题句;末尾的句子又为这一段的结论。因此，在一定程度上考生可以从首尾句入手，推测全文的内容，从而迅速理解全文。当然，有些文章的主题句并不在句子的首、尾，而在文章的中间;有的文章甚至没有主题句，这就要求考生灵活处理。
三、快速浏览全文，抓住事实和细节
事实是作者的思想和观点的有力证据，是作者所写文章的重要依据。而细节是使文章连成整体的主要手段，是使文章充满活力的重要方式。换句话说，事实和细节是文章的血和肉。不论事件多么惊人，也不论观点如何新奇，若没有事实和细节，这篇文章就显得空洞无力。高考中，很多问题就是考查考生对事实和细节的把握，因此，考生在了解了文体特点和通过文章首尾句掌握了文章的中心和主要内容的基础上，必须快速浏览全文，抓住文中的事实和细节。并且在浏览的过程中，考生应根据短文后面的问题和选项，将与之有关的事实和细节用笔一一画出，且标明其题的序号，以便研究答题。
四、抓住相关词语，快速弄清作者的思想
相关词语分为两大类：其一是关键词，即名词、动词、数词和形容词等实词，根据这些词语就能够看出句子或文章的主要内容;其二是信息词，即情态动词(may, must, can, have to等)，副词(yet, however, therefore, otherwise，carefully, seriously 等)、连词(but, while, though, if 等)等虚词和短语(as if / though, on the contrary, by contrast, even if / though, in spite of 等)，根据这些词语就能够推断出文章中人物的精神状态或作者的目的、意图、观点、立场、态度及文章的逻辑关系。
五、研究 重点，突破难点
在阅读过程中，碰到一些难以理解的问题，是非常正常的事情。这时，考生不必惊慌，而应冷静头脑，对问题进行认真分析、研究，从而进行难点突破。因为高考中的阅读毕竟是一种信息性的阅读，只要能提取正确的信息就足够了，因此对于那些不影响阅读的问题，就不必理会。只有当它们影响了对句子或文章的理解、特别是当它们影响问题的解决时，我们才在通读全文的基础上，对这些难点进行研究，加以分析、解决。
一、如何备考
在考试前的最后几个月里是综合能力提高的关键时期。但是如果基础知识仍然漏洞百出 ,就谈不到综合能力的提高。因此在最后的几个月一定要两手一起抓:
1 狠抓基础
经过一段时间的复习 ,每个同学都对自己的英语学习有了基本估计 ,知道自己的薄弱点在什么地方。之所以它们仍然是弱点 ,往往是因为害怕困难 ,不愿意下大功夫去解决这个问题。外语的学习特点就是知识比较零碎 ,需要背和记的东西比较多 ,只要你肯下工夫 ,没有学不会的。
2 加大阅读的练习力度阅读是语言的输入过程 ,是学习的过程 ,是培养语感的过程。现在的高考命题一再强调加强对语篇的考查 ,因此阅读理解的能力培养显得尤为重要。
读一些有一定难度的文章 ,在高考中遇到生词多的文章就不会发慌 ,心态稳定是考试时正常发挥的关键。平时的阅读中可以复习到课本上出现过的单词 ,还可以学到这些单词在不同的文章中的不同用法 ,为做其他题型的题目时打下基础。因此做每一篇阅读文章都需要达到两个目的:一是通过做题调整做题思路;二是通过阅读扩大词汇量和掌握词的灵活用法。胡国燕:北京市英语特级教师。北京实验中学外语教研组长、西城区兼职教研员。曾荣获北京市西城区教育系统先进工作者、西城区第一批中学外语科带头人、北京市市级中青年骨干教师、全国优秀外语教师等光荣称号。她撰写的论文多次获得市、区教育科研论文的一、二等奖。
二、如何提高阅读理解成绩
首先应该找出阻碍你正确理解文章的是什么才能解决问题。可能成为阅读理解障碍的有以下几个问题:
a 单词:单词掌握不好 ,会影响对文章的理解 ,至少影响阅读的速度。
b 句型不熟:高中学习的任务之一就是学会用不同的方法表示同样的意思。
例如:
It’s time for class = It’s time to have class= It’s time that we have class.
Not all the students like sports = Not every student likes sports.
When he heard the cry for help ,he ran out immediately. = Hearing the cry for help , he dashed out. = On hearing the cry for help ,he ran out at once.
c长句子:有些同学从句掌握的不好 ,遇到长句子 ,尤其是从句中套从句的句子 ,读起来比较困难。
如2000 年高考试题阅读理解的第三篇:“Decision - think - ing is not unlike poker ──it often matters not only what you think ,but also what others you think and what you think they think you think.”在这一段 30 个词的句子中think 出现了七次。往往需要读几遍才能读懂这样时间就用的比较多 ,在时间有限的情况下 ,就会出现没有真正看懂而不得不做题的情况因此 ,抓好基础知识的落实就显得非常重要。
d 平时训练:平时训练对自己要有一定的要求。阅读文章的长度 ,生词量等方面应该与高考的要求基本一致。至少不能低于高考的难度。在阅读的速度上也应从严要求自己 ,否则不可能在高考时正常发挥。
e 发现自己经常易犯的错误 ,有针对性地进行练习。
我们在做语文阅读题的时候，也需要一定的技巧，这样可以更准确的做出答案，速度也会很快，具体来看一下!下面给大家分享一些关于语文考试阅读题答题技巧 方法 ，希望对大家有所帮助。
一.语文考试阅读题答题技巧
通用解题步骤
1.通读 文章 ，了解主要内容，揣摩中心思想。
2.认真通读所有题目，理解题意，明确题目的要求。
3.逐条解答，要带着问题，仔细地阅读有关内容，认真地思考、组织答案。
4.检查，看回答是否切题，内容是否完整，语句是否通顺，标点是否正确。
主要题型及解题方法
一、题型：段意、主要内容的归纳
1. 记叙文
回答清楚(什么时间、什么地点)什么人做什么事。
格式：(时间+地点)+人+事。
2. 说明文
回答清楚说明对象是什么，它的特点是什么。
格式：说明(介绍)+说明对象+说明内容(特点)
3. 议论文
回答清楚议论的问题是什么，作者的观点怎样。
格式：用什么论证方法证明了(论证了)+论点。
二、选择或概括文章的中心
有很多的问答题都是根据中心解答的，例如：谈谈你的收获;告诉我们什么道理;你有什么启发。
三、理解 句子 的含义
所谓的含义就是蕴含在文章里面的意思，它不是一下子就能看出来的，要通过我们仔细地揣摩，采取一找二写的方法来完成。
句子的意思有明暗两种：明的是文章结尾议论性的话，你把它拿过来，稍加整理即可;暗的难度大一点，必须在通晓全文的基础之上，把文章中一些重要的事件所反映的思想感情，用自己的语言表达出来。
二.答语文阅读题需要注意什么
1、认真读短文
在回答问题时切忌不认真读原文就去回答。一般情况下在回答时，第一遍先快速整体阅读全文，每读完一段，要知道这一段写的是什么，知道短文的大意。第二遍就要带着问题边读边作答，不要不看文章盲目答题，一定要带着问题仔细地去阅读文章。
2、认真回答问题
我们快速地阅读完短文后，接下来就要带着短文后的问题去文中找答案。这次一定要细心认真，这是最关键的一步，先认真审好题，然后要带着问题仔细地去阅读文章，要边阅读边揣摩边答题，不能有一丝马虎。
3、掌握答题技巧
回答问题时要根据平时学的阅读知识，结合上下文的理解做出正确的回答，并运用答题技巧。
三.答题技巧及套路
⑴明确：分论点可有N个(补充和证明中心论点)
⑵方法：
①从位置上找：如标题、开篇、中间、结尾。
②分析文章的论据。(可用于检验预想的论点是否恰当)
③摘录法(只有分论点，而无中心论点)
分析论点是怎样提出的：
①摆事实讲道理后归结论点;
②开门见山，提出中心论点;
③针对生活中存在的现象，提出论题，通过分析论述，归结出中心论点;
④叙述作者的一段经历湖，归结出中心论点;
⑤作者从 故事 中提出问题，然后一步步分析推论，最后得出结论，提出中心论点。
2、论据(用什么证明)
⑴论据的类型：
①事实论据(举例后要 总结 ，概述论据要紧扣论点);
②道理论据(引用 名言 要分析)。
⑵论据要真实、可靠，典型(学科、国别、古今等)。
⑶次序安排(照应论点);
⑷判断论据能否证明论点;
⑸补充论据(要能证明论点)。
3、论证(怎样证明)
⑴论证方法(须为四个字)
①举例论证(例证法) 事实论据记叙
②道理论证(引证法和说理) 道理论据议论
③对比论证(其本身也可以是举例论证和道理论证)
④比喻论证比喻在说明文中为打比方， 散文 中为比喻。
⑵分析论证过程：
① 论点是怎样提出的;
②论点是怎样被证明的(用了哪些道理和事实，是否有正反两面的分析说理);
③联系全文的结构，是否有总结。
⑶论证的完整性(答：使论证更加全面完整，避免产生误解)
⑷分析论证的作用：证明该段的论点。

四级考试阅读理解技巧（一）
四级阅读测试一般包括4篇文章的阅读，每篇后有5道选择题。这些的类型多种多样，但归纳起来大致可分为二大类，即全域型问题（Global Question）和局域型问题（Local Question ）. Local Question一般涉及三方面内容：Subject Matter, Attitudr/Tone;Local Question 涉及：Supporting Details ,Inference, Vocabulary.以下，我们将针对四级考试的特点、出题范畴、出题方式等，根据这些问题在考试出题中的大致排列顺序，进行有步骤、有计划的分项应试技能训练。
关于主题思想问题（Subject Matter）
Subject Matter(SM中心思想)是作者在文章中要表达的的主要内吼是贯穿全文的核心。作者在文章中努力通过各种Supporting Details来阐明中心议题。因此，把握主要思想对于全文内听理解具有重要意义。熟悉四级测试的人都知道，这类问题常被列为5题之首。然而，如何找出主题常使考生倍感棘手。因为他们总希望通过某个词或某句话就能找到答案，而找主题往往需要通读全文后才能作出判断。
针对SM问题，应采用快速阅读法（Skimming）浏览全文，理解文章主旨大意，阅读时要注意抓住中心思想的句子在文章中的位置也不同，但阅读时，文章的开头、结尾及段落的段首句和段尾句特别重要，因为他们往往名包含文章的中心议题（SM）。
根据批发部在内容的不同，这类问题可分杰主题型、标题型和目的型 。主题型一目了然就是找中心（Main Idea）;标题型是为文章选择标题（Title）;目的型就是推断作者的写作意图（Purpose）.这类题常见的命题方式有：
（1） What is the main idea (subject) of this passage ?
（2） What does this passage mainly (primarily)concerned ?
（3） The main theme of this passage is ___________.
（4） The main point of the passage is__________.
（5） Which of the following is the best title for the passage ?
（6） The title that best expresses the theme of the passage is ___________.
（7） On which of the following subject would the passage most likely be found in a textbook ?
（8） The purpose of the writer in writing this passage _________.
（9） Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole ?
1. 关于主题型
Example 1:
Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea "
Before the nineteenth century ,scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between .Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings ,but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work .
For most people the sea was remote , and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others , who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it ,let alone to what lay beneath the surface ,The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of oceans "? had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile( 轮廓)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853 , for information on this matter. In the 1840s,Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(试探)were taken investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid , but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples form the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895 .
This passage is mainly about_____________.
A) the beginnings of oceanography
B) the laying of the first undersea cable

阅读是 学习英语 的基础，对于 英语学习 者来说培养自己的阅读能力十分重要，下面我为大家带来 英语阅读 短文摘抄，欢迎大家阅读!
In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.

Firemen had been fighting the forest for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

阅读虽然不是一种直接的交际,但在本质上也是一种语言交际活动。下面就是我给大家整理的短篇 英语阅读 文章 ，希望大家喜欢。短篇英语阅读文章：You are special A well-know speaker started on his seminar(研讨会) by holding up a $20 bill in the room of 200. He asked,who would like this $20 bill. Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple(弄皱) the $20 note up. He then asked, "who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground, and started to ground into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now, crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson no matter what I did to the money, you still want it. Because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, and circumstances that come away. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finally creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worst of your lives comes not in what we do, or who we know, but by who we are. You are special. Don't ever forget it. 短篇英语阅读文章：Love your mother Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother! Your mother will be there for you, to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her 'blues' of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?" Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her. 短篇英语阅读文章：Mum and growing days Those Teenage Years When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the different movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a row. When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had no taste. When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, she was expecting an important call. You thanked her by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation. You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business."

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街上几乎空无一人。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙碌，这时刚刚布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。
宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街，在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具，椅子，桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像击中，但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰，竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
