33、ilk. 控江中學(xué) 吳芳自2010年始，上海英語高考卷新增了題型，在閱讀理解“仔細(xì)閱讀”中增加了“簡答題”部分，4道題，分值8分。新題型要求考生仔細(xì)閱讀文章，用盡量少的詞回答問題或把句子填寫完整。此項(xiàng)目的增加，旨在盡量避免考生在做閱讀的時候，憑猜測而取得分?jǐn)?shù)，從而更深入地考查學(xué)生對于語段的理解以及靈活準(zhǔn)確地回答問題的能力。2010年是第一次采用新題型，部分人預(yù)測第一次出題會簡單一些，但高考結(jié)束后，眾多考生認(rèn)為新題型是這次英語高考的亮點(diǎn)，有一定的難度。出乎考生們的預(yù)料，回答每個問題都要做一些調(diào)整，而不是能從文章中直接找到或抄到現(xiàn)成的答案。這對考生提出了較高的要求。在這里，筆者就今年的高考題做一解

34、析，并從中總結(jié)一些做題技巧。一、理解文章，找對地方考生們對于閱讀理解題相當(dāng)熟悉，都懂得在通讀，理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上針對題目找到相關(guān)的語段或句子，這就是我們常說的 “要找對地方”，“要找到依據(jù)”。新題型也是如此，首先要讀懂文章。 2010高考新題型講的是“體育教育”的問題，第一段的首句便是本文的中心大意， “Phys ed(physical education) is making acomeback as a part of the schoolcore curriculum，but with a difference?！斌w育教育重又成為學(xué)校核心課程之一，但與眾不同。接著，文章具體介紹了現(xiàn)代體育教

35、育的內(nèi)容，人們對于體育教育的看法及做法，現(xiàn)代體育教育的優(yōu)勢及存在的兩大問題，而文章的最后一句話也是本文的主旨所在， “The new method teaches skillsthat translate to adulthood?！边@種新型的體育教育教會人們一生受用的技能。二、針對問題，找到依據(jù)這次的題目緊扣考綱，第81,82道題為補(bǔ)充完成句子，考查理解文章的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容，相對比較容易。第81題，In the new P.E. program, childrenlearn to liftweights, balance their diets and build physical enduran

36、cerather than _. 考生很容易就會在第一自然段找到相關(guān)信息。Instead of learning how to climb arope, children are taught to liftweights, balance their diets and buildphysical endurance。我們不難看出，相同的意思用兩種句式表達(dá)了出來。文中用了 “instead of”，而問題中用了“rather than”，我們還要注意一個細(xì)節(jié)問題，“instead of”后跟動名詞，而“rather than”在這里要用動詞原形。兼顧語法與語義，不難寫出正確的答案。 In t

37、he new P.E. program, children learn to liftweights, balancetheir diets and build physical endurance rather than (learn how to )climb a rope。由于前后謂語一致，可省略“l(fā)earn how to”。第 82題，As for P.E., someschool boards either _。同樣，我們很快就找到了相關(guān)信息，because school boards often "put P.E.on the chopping block, cuttin

38、g itentirely or decreasing its teachers orthe days it is offered,"對語法敏感的考生馬上能看出 “either”與 “or”的關(guān)系，對于體育教育，一些學(xué)校采取什么做法呢，要么 “cutting it entirely”，索性取消，要么 “decreasing itsteachers or the days it is offered”，減少教師或減少課時。所以，很自然的，考生們會這樣補(bǔ)全句子，As for P.E.,some school boards either cut it(P.E。) entirely or de

39、crease its (the)teachers or the days it is offered。細(xì)心地考生數(shù)一下字?jǐn)?shù)便會發(fā)現(xiàn)多了三個詞，很簡單，去掉一個定語從句，“it is offered”，字?jǐn)?shù)正好。所以，去掉多余的定語等修飾語是常見的縮句方法。第 83題 ，What are the twoproblemswith simply teaching groupsports? 這道題考查推測文章中的隱含意思。首先，我們找到相關(guān)的信息。Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is thatonly a t

40、iny percentage of studentscontinue playing them after graduating from high school。對語義敏感的同學(xué)馬上就會從 “Another problem”想到，前文肯定寫到了一個問題，我們會找到“The researchers also foundthat teaching sports like football resulted in less overallmovement, partly because reluctant students wereable to sit on the bench?！睆倪@兩個地方，我們不難看出體育教育的兩大問題，一是有時不是所有的學(xué)生都參加活動，二是只有極小部分學(xué)生在畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)體育運(yùn)動。但是如何用10個以內(nèi)單詞準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)語義呢？試試用兩個詞組，我們可以這樣回答，“Lessoverallm
