考綱解讀：根據(jù)最新高考全國新課標(biāo)卷英語考試說明高考閱讀理解旨在考查考生語言的綜合運(yùn)用能力,要求考生能讀懂書、報(bào)、雜志等中關(guān)于一般性話題的簡短文段以及公告、說明、廣告等,并能從中獲取相關(guān)信息,具體要求做到:(1)理解文章主旨要義;(2)理解文中具體信息;(3)根據(jù)上下文推斷生詞詞義;(4)做出簡單判斷和推理,理解文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu);(5)理解作者的意圖、觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度。

主旨大意題是高考閱讀理解中常考的題型之一,主要考查考生把握全文主題和理解中心思想的能力。通常以概括中心大意、概括段落大意、選擇標(biāo)題以及判斷作者寫作意圖等形式出現(xiàn)。主旨大意題是閱讀理解題中的高難度題,能夠拉開考生的分?jǐn)?shù)差距,所以將此類題設(shè)為高考試題具有很好的選拔作用。研究近幾年課標(biāo)地區(qū)的高考閱讀理解題可以發(fā)現(xiàn),主旨大意題幾乎年年都有,而且在大部分地區(qū)的閱讀理解題中會(huì)有1~3道考查此類題。Part3

近三年全國卷主旨大意題的考查縱觀近幾年的高考，閱讀理解中每年都有考查主旨要義的題目，雖然所占比重不太大，但是難度較大，是考生較容易失分的體型，應(yīng)給予足夠的重視，預(yù)計(jì)未來高考閱讀理解考查主旨大意的題目比例將保持穩(wěn)定，考查方式從原來簡單的主旨概括向綜合性歸納轉(zhuǎn)變?？键c(diǎn)202320222021歸納段落大意2道2道2道理解全文宗旨0道1道1道選定最佳標(biāo)題1道3道4道1)歸納段落大意◆Whatisthefirst/second/…paragraphmainlyabout?◆
