1.阅读材料更趋向于真实性、实用性和教育性
5.填空题
二、提高阅读理解能力的途径
1.平时多阅读。
如英文报纸、杂志、读物，这样可以培养良好的阅读习惯，克服对生词的恐惧心理，从而达到提高阅读速度和阅读能力的目的。根据不同情况调整阅读速度，要知道在什么时候快读，什么时候慢读。一般说来，对我们有用或重要的信息我们就要放慢速度，对我们不重要的信息可以一带而过，这样才可以在整体上提高阅读速度。
2.扩大知识面。
要对社会、科学、文学、史地、艺术等多个领域特别是有关英美等国家的情况都要有所了解。
3.积累适合自己的阅读技巧和做题方法，在做题时做到有的放矢。
4.扩大词汇量。
有限的词汇量必然影响你的阅读能力的提高。生词的含义只有在上下文中才能完全展现出来，并易于被记住、理解、掌握；同时还可以利用构词法记忆单词，这对于阅读是特别有用。
三、阅读理解试题的易错点点睛
历届高考阅读试题基本上可以分为五类:1.理解认定事实试题。2.猜测词义或短语试题。3.推理判断试题。4.归纳概括试题。5.填空题。一般来说，高考阅读理解试题的易错点点睛都是从这几个方面来展开的。下面我们以部分英语高考试题的阅读理解部分来认识一下这些个易错点点睛。

试题分析
第2题考查考生对所读短文作出简单判断和推理的能力。文中第三段说，尽管she’d
givemetimeoffthenext．但是itdidn’toftenworkout．因此，选B.
第4题考查考生对作者的意图和态度的理解能力。本文作者从读书时的表现不优秀，从而认为自己后来不会有自己的事业，到后来有了career，D项最能说明主题。
WhatdoesPassage①tellusabouttheboy
A.Hewasinjuredintheheadwhenhewas14.

C.Hehaslivedinthesameplacesincetheaccident.

D.Theyjoinedhandsinreducingaccidents.
Whichpassagewouldgivemoreinformationonthepreventionofroadaccidents
A.①
B.②
C.③
D.④
第3题考查考生对所读短文作出简单判断和推理的能力。综合四则报导，只有有对于事故安全保护的介绍，所以D项是最佳答案。

B.Mother’sloveplaysanimportantroleinteenagers’life.
C.Beingunderstoodbyparentsisveryimportanttoteenagers.
D.Schooleducationdoesn’tworkwithoutfullsupport

第1题考查考生在上下文中猜测词(组)意义的能力。短文开始就讲述MyteenagesonKarlbecamewithdrawn，接着Itriedtodomybesttotalktohim.ButthemoreItried，themorehepulledaway.这就对becamewithdrawn作了解释，所以C项是最佳答案。
第3题考查考生理解个别句子意义的能力。原文在heevenmadethehonorroll下面划了横线，根据上下文，应该理解成“上了学校优秀学生荣誉册”，所以选择D项。
senthimtotheschooladviser,beggedhim,feltsopowerless,gotdownonmyknees,pleadedforhelp,I’mattheendofmyrope,I’mgivingthewholethinguptoyou,Ichokedupandallmydisappoint-mentandsadnessoverKarlcamepouringoutintotheearsofthisstranger,IlovemysonbutIjustdon’tknowwhattodo,It’soutofmyhands一连串的叙述中，我们看到的是一位平凡母亲的无私伟大的母爱。
