阅读与表达
一、题型简介
阅读与表达是近两年中考英语中出现的新题型，要求学生阅读短文并回答问题。短文通常有3%的生词量，单词量在250~300左右。本题有5道小题，共10分。此题难度较大，它不仅考查了学生的阅读能力还考查了学生的书面表达能力。
二、考查要点
掌握所读短文的主旨和大意
了解阐述主旨的事实和细节
了解词义和句义深层含义
根据所读短文进行判断和推论
根据所读短文概括文章大意
三、历史回顾
2004年和2005年两年的中考题中，各种疑问句的比例没有变化，特殊疑问句的比例最大占60%，其次是一般疑问句和选择疑问句，各占20%，反意疑问句没有考。回答一般疑问句时用YES或NO，回答选择疑问句，一般从选项中选一项，或用Both/Neither回答的较少。回答特殊疑问句要看懂问什么，关键是看清疑问词。
四、未来预测
1 命题难度将有所上升，突出能力考查与选拔功能，阅读理解难度略有提高，这主要表现在命题从不同角度，不同思维方式出发，除了考查学生准确获得信息的能力外更多的是测试学生综合运用英语的能力。
2 阅读的题材与体裁也多样化，篇幅会有所加长，材料也会更趋现代化，生活化，知识化，以突出实用性和时代性。
3 在命题上会加大对考生理解、概括、推理和判断等深层次能力的考查。
4 问题的样式也将更多样化，更全面。

六、答题步骤
1.浏览全文,捕捉信息。
通过浏览全文，掌握其大意，了解作者的观点和写作意图。
2.细读问题,分析信息。
通过浏览全文后，已对文章或段落大意有所了解，再读考题，对要捕捉的信息进行分析、推理，这样便可先解答与主题思想有关的问题。
3.复读全文,抓住细节。
带着问题去复读，可缩小复读范围，更便于捕捉关键的信息。复读时可边读边用铅笔做标记，把有关的人物、事件、时间、地点、起因(即 5W:who,what,where,when,why)划出来。经过这样的处理，对文章的内容和细节便更清楚了。另外，再复读全文时，还应特别注意首段或每一自然段的首句和结尾句。因为在首句和首段，作者往往要说明事件的起因，阐述自己的观点或事件发生的时间，地点与人物的关系。结尾句、段是事件的结论或作者表达的态度、意图、目的等。
4.回答问题,言简意赅 。
回答问题时，最好不要照抄原文，会自己概括总结，简单明了。
5.再读全文,核对答题。
这是最后一步，也是重要的一步，不能忽视。这一步骤要用全文的主题思想统率各考题，把在阅读和答题时所得到的信息归纳整理一遍之后，再读一遍短文检查答案，看是否前后一致，意义和语言知识是否和原文相符，是否符合逻辑等。发现前后矛盾、遗漏要点等错误，要立即改正。
七、 温馨提示
1 先看懂问题，明白问题的关键所在。
2 带着问题看文章，找到问题所在的段落或重要的句子
3 把问题和找到的段落和句子有机的整合在一起，这就是表达的过程。
4 避免照抄整个的原句，要简答。
5 注意人称、时态和语态的变化。
举例说明：若问题是考查对短文细节的理解，这就需要抓住关键词回答问题，如04年中考题中阅读与简答的12小题 Which is the easier way to become a better reader, pleasure reading or studying ?考生要通过仔细阅读，抓住第一段中第一句Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. 中最关键的the easiest way 就可得出答案，Pleasure reading is .
若是考查对短文实质性的理解，则需以原文为基础，根据其提供的信息 ，运用多种方法进行分析推理，从而得出结论。如04年中考题中阅读与简答的14小题How can we become better readers ?从文章中第一段可明显得出结论，Reading for pleasure不仅是最容易也是最重要的方法使成为一名较好的阅读者，而且下面的四段都在论证这个论点，所以可推理得出答案是Doing pleasure reading .
