考研英語閱讀題型
“得閱讀者，得天下”相信這句話對考研的童鞋并不陌生，考研英語在考研中處于重要地位，閱讀在考研英語中又有著舉足輕重的作用。想要戰勝考研英語，首先要跨過閱讀這個難題。其實英語閱讀總結起來，也就那么幾個重點題型，如果能夠掌握牢固，相信要戰勝英語閱讀并不是什么難事。
★細節性題型。
閱讀考題中，有一種細節性題目，重點集中在細節上。而細節題也有難有易，較容易的可以根據題干或選項的線索回原文定位，然后由相關句得到正確答案；較難的也可以在正確定位的基礎上經過一定的推斷得出正確的答案。其實這類題的技巧性不大，最主要的是耐心和細心。
★主題性題型。
主題性題型主要考查我們對文章或者段落中心思想的掌握，要做好這一類題的一個重點就是要抓住中心句。中心句通常以判斷句的形式出現，全文的中心句常出現在文章第一段句首、第一段句末和全文末等地方，段落的中心句則通常是該段的首句和末句。所以，做這類題目的時候要重點分析這些句子。
★詞匯性題型。
詞匯性題也是考研英語中常見題目之一。這種問題主要是根據上下文判斷大綱詞匯表以外某些詞匯和短語的意義，主要考查兩種情況：一種是熟詞僻義或特定語言環境下的具體詞義，在這種情況下，常規含義一般都不是正確答案；另一種是超出詞匯表的生詞含義的推斷。無論是哪一種，海天考研認為都只能根據上下文來判斷該詞的真正含義。
考研英語閱讀分析
1、弄懂生詞
一篇閱讀中，肯定會遇到有生詞不認識，老師建議我們在做題的過程中不要去查生詞，這樣會影響做題速度，相反，我們可以利用猜詞技巧來理解單詞含義。但是在做完題目認真分析的時候一定要把不認識的單詞都查出來，并寫在單詞本上每天記憶，這樣有利于我們掃清常考詞匯，通過不斷的積累，閱讀中的絕大部分單詞最后都會變為我們熟悉的詞。不認識單詞的問題也會被我們最終克服。
2、分析做題方法
在查完生詞之后，我們還要去分析題目。不能只看做錯的題目，正確的題目就不管了。因為如果單純的只看錯題，我們只會知道這個題目為什么錯，以后不可能遇到原題，但是遇到這一類型的題目時，還是不會解答，這只是“治標不治本“的方法。所以，我們要去認真分析這個題的題型，以及做題方法，
該如何去找答案，并明白對的答案為什么是正確的，錯誤的答案又是從哪個地方設置的干擾。只有把隱藏在明處和暗處的“敵人”都一網打盡，才會“所向無敵”。
3、分析句子結構
考研英語閱讀中有很多很長很難的句子，我們要弄清楚每個部分的成分，哪個是主語，哪個是謂語，哪個是賓語。這不僅有助于我們對句子的理解，也有利于后面翻譯部分的學習，只有弄清楚了句子成分，知道每個成分該怎么翻譯，才能在翻譯部分的學習中如魚得水。
4、翻譯閱讀
最后，老師希望小伙伴們可以把整篇閱讀完整的翻譯一遍，然后對照參考譯文，看看差距在哪。其實對于翻譯，我們只要大致上的含義和參考譯文差不多就行，不必在某個地方過于糾結。
老師相信小伙伴們在經過對英語閱讀進行仔細分析之后，會對英語閱讀理解的更加透徹，也會明白自己的薄弱所在，并有針對性的進行彌補的。做好了基礎階段的學習，老師相信您一定會在后面的學習中“游刃有余”。
★態度性題型。
這類題目平時考察還是比較多的，態度性問題主要考查我們是否了解作者或者文中某人對某事所持的觀點或態度。做這一類型題的題目，最好在讀文章和題干時，便把其中描述態度的詞標記出來，然后在文中找到有典型褒貶含義的詞匯，最后再將兩部分詞進行對比得出答案。
★推斷性題型。
這類題主要考查我們根據已知內容推斷引申含義的能力。它要求我們根據文章中的關鍵詞、短語、結構等進行推斷，或要求我們通過閱讀某段或幾段內容，推斷出一個結論，類似于主題性問題。做這類題時，一定要避免不依據關鍵詞而憑空進行推斷。
考研英語閱讀誤區
誤區一：英語閱讀=詞匯比拼
很多學生將考研失利的原因歸結為詞匯量不夠，把考研英語閱讀等同于詞匯量的比拼是很多考生的第一大誤區。有一些人甚至認為英語學習本身就是背單詞、擴充詞匯量，只要詞匯量大了就是英語好了。還有些考生單純去背誦不熟悉的詞匯，效果也往往不盡如人意。英語教研室萬老師表示，考研英語中有明確的考綱，有規定的詞匯考查范圍。考研英語復習過程中，考生完全不需要毫無目的地記憶大量詞匯，只需要將考試大綱中限定的考研詞匯研究透徹即可。
考研英語考試雖然涉及的詞匯量在五六千左右，但是，廣大考生在做題的過程中其實是不需要完全理解文章的每一個單詞的，所以，考生只需要掌握大概在4000-5000左右的單詞就可以做題了。那么，補充詞匯量的過程其實也是有一定的順序和方法的。考生首先需要掌握的是高頻出現的基礎詞匯。這些詞匯是讀懂英語長句基本意思的基礎。那么，在完成基礎階段詞匯的掌握之后，積累詞匯可以放到文章當中去進行。也就是說，在閱讀文章的同時，把文章當中遇到的生詞勾畫出來進行整理背誦。在上下文當中記憶詞匯遠比簡單背誦詞匯書上孤立的單詞來得效果要好，且記憶深刻。
誤區二、強作語法分析
在考研英語復習過程中，要知道閱讀的目的是為了獲取信息，而不是為了學習語法，所以在進行閱讀時，要集中精力弄清文章的大意和情節、主題和中心、作者的態度和意圖等，而不要強作語法分析。只要不影響閱讀，任何語法分析都是不必要的(當然若在閱讀中遇有難句，對其作些語法分析以幫助理解，那是另外一回事)。
不少同學們在閱讀時往往有這樣的習慣，每讀到一個重要的詞或句型時，他頭腦中反應的不是該詞或句型所表示的含義方面的信息，而是反應它在語法方面的一些要點。比如當他讀到worth這個詞時，在他頭腦中反應的不是類似于中文的值得之類的信息，而是此詞之后要接動名詞，而不接不定式之類的語法條款，又比如當他讀到rob這個詞時，他不是反應出搶劫這樣的信息，而是反應出robsbofsth(正),robsb’ssth(誤)這樣的正誤句型。可以想象這樣的學生當他讀完一篇文章之后，頭腦中留下的除了幾個支離破碎的詞和句型外，恐怕什么也沒有。若是這樣去訓練閱讀，那閱讀能力的培養將無從談起了。誤區三：閱讀文章時逐字逐句，不良閱讀習慣
不少學生在閱讀時不僅口中念念有詞，而且手指指著閱讀材料左右移動，同時頭也不停地左右擺動。要知道閱讀主要是腦力勞動的過程，任何身體部位的移動都無助于閱讀速度的提高，相反還會降低閱讀速度。所以同學們在平時就要養成良好的閱讀習慣。為了提高閱讀速度，同學們還應學會按句子讀，甚至按意群讀，并慢慢培養一目一行、一目數行、而最終能一目十行的閱讀能力。
考場上分秒必爭，英語閱讀應該都固定好時間，每篇文章不要超過7分鐘，因為一篇四五百字的文章考的問題往往只有5個，閱讀主要考察的是考生們兩方面的能力，一個是把握文章主旨大意，另一方面是把握文章的某些細節。考綱中說閱讀理解測試考生好幾方面的能力，其實都可以歸到這兩類里，它不過寫到更具體一些而已，比如根據所讀材料進行一定的判斷、推理和引申，這些推理引申不是沒有根據的，其根據也只能根據兩點，要么文章主旨，要么文章某個細節。
因此根據閱讀考察的特點，我們在讀文章時不是應該每個細節都不放過的去讀，而在瀏覽完考題之后，一定要細讀文章，對題目涉及到的段落、句子做簡單標記，接著要仔細分析每個題目在文中的映射，再做出選擇。最后，可以結合文章中心上下檢查一遍，一個完整的解題順序就完成了。
誤區四：技巧為上，有技巧就有高分
有一些基礎不是太好的考生往往很容易走進這樣的一個誤區，他們崇尚閱讀的技巧，認為只要掌握了某些所謂核心技巧就能夠在看不懂文章的情況之下取得高分。如果考生一味追求考試技巧，忽視了英文基本能力的培養，則再次犯了本末倒置的錯誤。
英語教研室萬老師認為，考生應當把備考過程變成是應試能力和閱讀能力同步提高的過程。基礎的審題，劃關鍵詞，尋找同義詞，確定答案等等解題步驟固然是需要掌握的，但是這些技巧恰恰是需要考生有很好的閱讀能力才能發揮更大的功效的。沒有一定的閱讀能力的考生在考試的過程中沒有辦法快速的確定文章大意、分清主次信息、了解文章脈絡。
所以萬老師建議考生在熟悉考試題型掌握考試技巧的同時，也要提高自身的閱讀能力。另外，在理解句子的過程中，難免會遇見一些生詞。這個時候，閱讀能力強的同學可能通過上下文的含義去推測詞義，或者通過前后綴這樣的構詞法內容去進行推測，以便更好的理解文章的意思。而只有技巧沒有實際閱讀能力的學生即使僥幸定位到了相關內容恐怕也會因為不能理解正確的含義而造成題目最終的判斷失誤。
最后，英語教研室萬老師提示大家：英語作為一門語言是一個厚積薄發的過程，所以考生要堅持多讀多用。復習過程中無論效果理想與否，都應堅持每天安排一定的時間進行適應性訓練和模擬，使自己保持良好的語言感覺和做題的敏銳思維。
