“阅读表达”题，包含了阅读四选一命题对各项技能的考查，只是由选择性的客观题改为进行阅读并表达的主观题。因此，学生一定要把握好文章整体内容，从而进行分析并作答。第一部分所呈现的真题包含细节理解题（56、59 小题）、词义猜测题（57 小题）、段落大意题（58 小题）以及询问个人观点的开放性试题（60 小题）。
评分标准方面：阅读表达题共包括 5 道小题，每道小题 2 分。根据作答情况，分数分为 4 档，如下表所示：
由此可见，学生作答此题需具备良好的阅读和写作能力。
二. 备考策略
写给教师：
建议教师在日常教学中，要有意识地向学生渗透积极的情感态度和正确的价值观，鼓励学生表达个人观点并进行讨论，提高学生的思辩能力，激发学生的学习动力和热情。
写给学生：
1. 培养阅读能力
学生应广泛阅读，勤于思考，从英语阅读中增长知识，开拓视野，学习更多的生活经验，得到更多的人生启迪。对于叙事类文章可进行研读，训练自己对文段大意的归纳总结能力，对文章某些情节进行推测，揣测作者的写作意图，尝试运用所学语言知识表达作者的写作意图、个人观点和态度等。此外，遇到不熟悉的表达，可尝试根据语境推测其在文中的意思。
2. 提升书面表达能力
根据该题型的任务要求可知，学生须具备良好的书面表达能力。英语语言知识（包括词汇、语法等）是语言表达的基础，因此学生应重视对语言知识的积累并掌握其应用，并借助不同的学习策略以提升书面表达能力。
3. 提升解题能力
努力提升解题能力，以便轻松应对此题型。俗话说熟能生巧。在日常学习中，学生要认真对待老师精选的相关训练，勤加练习。练习时需注意以下几个方面：
（1）读懂题目，带问题阅读；
（2）快速通读全文，明确文章主旨大意；
（3）针对题目各个击破。就归纳总结具体信息类题目，应确保所查找信息点全面；词义、句意猜测类题目，要联系前后文语境判断；观点、态度或写作意图类题目，应基于文章的整体内容作答；主旨要义以及推理题需视具体情况而定，有针对段落的命题，也有针对文章整体内容的命题。
（4）答语要简洁、准确。因为有词数要求，学生应学会转换表达方式，必要时可用单词代替短语，用非谓语代替从句，用构词法进行词性或词义转换。名言警句一般都简洁明了，可用来作答某些题目。
（5）做好作答后的检查，检查项包括作答内容是否与设问“对应”、作答词数是否符合题目要求、拼写（含大小写）、语法、标点等是否正确无误。
高考英语阅读表达技巧基础篇
一、要了解题目，速读全文，了解大意和主题。
首先了解题目所要考查的内容，因为考察内容较为固定，浏览一遍即可，其中主要看“出处加理解”与“全开放”试题，抓住重点考查信息。接下来快速阅读（浏览）全文，获取主要信息。运用扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，把握语篇实质。完成这一步骤后，可针对每个小题做出解答。（用时大约17分钟）
【切记】 回答问题要规范：字数；书写；第一个词的使用（To do…; Because…等）
二、审题，判断题型
1、出处加理解
（1）
① 题干中的关键词认知，以及重中之重的关键词，以便使答题更加准确，不会造成“答非所问”的情况。
② 划好关键词，找到出处后，根据所问的问题以及句子结构用中文来回答。注意“替换词”微技能的出现。
③ 数字数，进行完善、修改。然后再抄到答题纸上。
（2）如果所要求的词数在10个词以里，一般均为抄原文出处即可，但是要注意时态、主语、三单，包括动词过去式的拼写等要求。
（3）如果要求的词数在15个词时，要注意是否为“总结归纳概括”的试题要求。这时要十分注意所找出处部分的句子，也可以说“扩大范围搜索相关内容”，同时更要注意一些承接词，（beside, however等）因为它们会给我们提供认知条件的，而往往却是我们容易忽略的。
（4）另外，也要注意有时文里没有给到明确的信息或是出处，这时就必须要按照“信息推断的试题”去做了。（比如：Clara为什么会坐到NASA的前排座位呢？这是文里没有明确的出处的，需要你根据文里所陈述的内容来推断的。）
【切记】出处加理解的试题不能随便的脱离开出处去自由发挥！！！
2、段落主旨（文章主旨）大意题
在弄清楚文章的大意后，用简练的一句话或短语概括出文章的标题即可。对于大多数文章而言，在第一段往往就交待了该文章的中心内容，第一段中的首句或尾句通常会点明该段的中心，因此一般而言，通过归纳第一段的首尾句便可写出该文章的标题。在答题时，切记要抓住关键词，且不要出现语法错误。
【切记】记叙文的主旨为“六要素”原则，关键要说出“谁干了什么，结果如何”；如果是记叙性散文那还要有贯穿文章始终的主线的东西。
3、词义、词组、句义理解
（1）词义猜测：一定要把整段逻辑翻译好，注意前后句的逻辑；另外还要注意有无“替换词”的出现。【切记】越是认识的单词越要按照逻辑去理解，防止他“一词多义”出现。
（2）词组猜测：如果是认识的词组，一般用另外一个词组去替换即可；如果不认识的词组，一定要把整段逻辑翻译好，注意前后句的逻辑。【切记】词性、形式务必正确！！！
（3）句意理解：
① 如果在段落的结尾处出现，则本段落的中心要捕捉到位！
② 如果在段落中间出现，那么前后的逻辑一定要反复认知到位！
③ 如果在段落的开始，那么上一段的最后一句话也是要认知的范围（承上启下）！
4、全开放试题 （抓住主旨词来进行作答！但是不能抄原文中的句子！！！）
首先要注意命题人的问题提出的形式，然后可以按照我们平时做题的要求进行答题。
① 你认为…怎么样？你学到了什么？
首先要回答出“怎么样”，然后可以用模句：I’ve learned that only by doing… can I…
② 你同意不同意作者的观点，为什么？
一般回答都是“同意”，注意回答时要抓住主旨词回答，要用好模句！
③ 文中那句话让你印象最深？你是怎样受到鼓舞的（为什么？）
找到文中你选的一句话，但是一定是你本人有好的表达模句来掌控这道题的！
④ 假如你是…，你会怎么样？为什么？
这样的题一定要按照文章的主旨来回答，而且主旨关键词要明确！模句也是关键！
⑤ 依你之见，你会怎么样？要看懂文里所讲的内容，积极、正面地去作答！
高中英语阅读表达解题思路及练习（含答案）
第一类题型：基础题解题方法探究
首先，基础题虽然简单，但是学生得到满分也并不容易，因为本题型判卷标准苛刻，容易丢分，不容大意。我在多年的教学实践中对本题型的解题方法和规律进行了一系列的探索，并初步总结出答题的思路和技巧。下面拟以2018年3月天津高考卷为例（节选），探究该题型的思路.
For many teenagers, a job is a way to earn a little extra money. For me, it is more than
that.
At the age of 16, I was offered my very first job as a shopgirl in a clothing store. On
the first day, my manager was training me how to fold and organize platform after
platform of clothes. The work seemed overwhelming, and everything had to be done in an
accurate way. I got so impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times.
After about ten tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to
get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes every day, and I’m able to
do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned to be patient.
56．What was the author’s first job? (no more than 5 words)
57．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 2? (no more than 3 words)
本题难度不大，但是得到满分却有点困难.首先，学生若照抄原文 A shopgirl in a clothing store.这样会超过词数限制.再者，有的同学会去掉冠词a 写成 Shopgirl in a clothing store 。这样会犯语法错误。依然不能拿到满分。还有同学会直接答A shopgirl.这个能得满分但又十分牵强.
从上面例子看出，前两个答案是显性错误，一个超过限制字数，另一个是语法错误，都只能拿到1.5分.第三个答案没有错误，但这个答案却违背了该题型答案应清晰明确的要求，因为它没有把问题回答透彻，如果别人看到这个答案，一定会追问，她是卖什么产品的shopgirl？由此，笔者总结了阅读表达此类基础题的解题原则如下：
1． 注意细节，注意细节包括注意首字母的大写，人称的转换，语法是否有错误，或是否超过限制字数等。
2 .清晰明确，答案一定要把事情说透彻、精当. 以此题为例，我推荐的答案是 Working as a shopgirl或者 A shopgirl selling clothes或者 A shopgirl who sold clothes。
3 .敢于突破原文 本题如果执迷于原文，不敢改动，一定写不出最好的答案
第二种题型：猜词题的解题方法探究
猜词题和猜句子含义题是本题型，乃至全卷最有难度的题型，其难度主要在于学生在思考解题思路和技巧时，感到非常茫然，没有思路，无从下手.下面我从天津高考原题中抽象出该题型的解题规律和具体的解题思路。
第一．注意猜词题的层次性
2014年天津高考原题节选
Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into braille (盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.
After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her. Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous—she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB’s word factory.
58. What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean? (1 word)
对于该题以及上面选段的第57题，高考给出了若干参考答案 比如Difficult，Trouble，Huge，Tiresome，Demanding等等.在散乱的答案中，我最终找到了他们之间的内在逻辑：答案存在明显的层次性.比如difficult就是一个层级比较高的词汇，这个意义不是特别具体，huge（巨大）表示的是一种difficult，tiresome（令人厌倦）也是一种difficult，demanding（要求严格）还是一种difficult..这里 huge，tiresome，demanding就是层次比较低的答案，这种答案的特点是非常具体，形象.我们在解决此类问题的过程中，可以先猜到层级比较高的词，然后再思考该层级下更为具体的词汇.经过这样的练习，猜词题才更有思考的价值.高考对于这个题目的要求不是很高，只要答出层次比较高又不太具体的像difficult这样的词就给满分了，但在平时练习中，一定要让学生保持能写更具体词汇的能力，比如这两道题，我认为用demanding是最为恰当的，远远比difficult要精当.
第二 利用主系表结构的规律性. 主系表结构有两种形式 第一 She is kind.主语+系动词+形容词做表语，这种形式对于解决题目实质帮助不大 但第二种，she is a girl 这种主语+系动词+名词的主系表结构对于解题意义重大。因为 这里的主语和名词时对等关系，我们可以利用这种特殊的关系，为我们的思考提供一个方向.以2019年3月高考题（节选）为例
As well as being able to turn Physical into poetry,Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline.
57 What is the meaning of the underlined word in para 2?
本题的答题正确率非常低，主要原因在于面对这个题目学生没有一个合理的思路，本题实际上就是一个主系表结构，这里简单理解为 科学是一个学术的 discipline.，或者理解为 一个学术的 discipline.是科学. 如果把这个题目理解到这个程度，猜到subject（学科）或者field（领域）应该难度就小很多了.
第三种题型：猜句子题型的解题思路探究
猜句子题含义题，又是阅读表达题型的难题之一，该题型的难点和猜单词含义题相似，都是学生没有成熟的思路来思考这个题型，下面我通过天津高考原题来总结出这类题目的解题思路.
思路一：单词都认识，根据原意合理“抽象”
2018年6月高考原题节选
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can't do" "attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what's at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you,“ You can’t” Dream big and climb high！
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？（no more than 5 words）
这道题中We all fall down.这句话中没有生词，都是最简单的词汇，但是这道题要得分却十分不易，因为很多学生根本没有思路去思考.这时可以考虑运用，根据原意，合理抽象的思路来思考. 原意是我们都跌到，在成年人的世界中，跌到一次很容易抽象成失败，挫折含义，本题迎刃而解，该高考题的答案也都是关于fail和frustrate的.类似的，我们在生活中会遇见山，这里很容易可以抽象成我们在生活中会遇到困难，挫折.
思路二：单词不认识，联系主旨或中心句获得启示
I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.
59. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (No more than 5 words)
该题目中literate是超纲词，这类题运用 根据原意，合理抽象就不能解决，这里就需要合理运用单词不认识的情况下，联系全文主旨或者段落中心句的方法，本段中心句是Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write.根据这句话，学生很容易写出I can read and write这个答案. 有了这个信息定位，就能就此确定思路，就能顺畅地给出答案.
第四种题型：概括段意类题目解题思路探究
这类题目的难点依然在于学生没有可操作性强的解题思路，下面我根据天津高考原题来说明这类题的解题思路
Peter Bulllock was not only an exciting teacher but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encourage me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I have been doing ever since ---and getting paid for it .That made what I am today---a commercial lawyer
What does para 3 mainly tell us?
面对这样的题目，我们需要分两步走，利用层次性解题技巧完成该题目.首先将文段分为两层，然后分别概括层意（概括层意需要注意敢于突破原文限制，真正写出概括感觉）
这个题目我们可以先划分层次，划到 in my school即可 第一层可以概括为 He founded the debate club 第二层基本可以概括为He had an effect on my career ，尤其从第二点可以看出，这个写法突破了原文限制，写出来概括性的感觉和特点.下面总结一下该题型解题思路：第一，根据文意划分出两个层次：第二，在敢于突破原文的前提下，概括层意，给出答案。
习题
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.[来源:ZXXK]

My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.
I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”
Five months later, my mon received a phone call,and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me stories and point out the stars,Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them.That’s what I love so much about space.

In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years—and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community.
On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy.
“Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.”
“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.”
The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”
Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing.
56. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words)
57. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words)
58. What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words)
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
60. Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more than 20 words)
答案 56. He was a postman. Or: He worked in a post-office.
57. He advised him to slow down (and take things easy).
/ He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down.
58. The process is more important than the result.
Or: A man should not slow down however old he is.
Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made. / It's the journey, not the arrival that counts.
59. My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things.
Or: The grandfather is still living an active life.
Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do.
60. Yes. One should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is.
Or: People should make full use of their time to do something meaningful
No. It is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age.
Or: Slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age.

For many teenagers, a job is a way to earn a little extra money. For me, it is more than
that.
In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my
bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol
at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “I hate
you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “Call my dad.”
Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I
would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I
needed discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine
with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued
my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working
in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “I can’t do this any more.”
Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent
months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find
myself again. Dad sat me down and said, “Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about
persistence(坚持不懈).”
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both passionate about acting,
which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be
where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a
long way.
