新闻报道类阅读

考点名称：新闻报道类阅读

• 报刊阅读应逐步成为中学生阅读的一个重要内容。由于新闻报道强调遵循5个W和1个H的原则，学生在阅读时也要抓住这一点去理解。

• 新闻报道类阅读的注意事项：
  1. 品味新闻的标题，联系平时所积累的知识，为了解材料大意作铺垫。
  2. 了解新闻报道的特殊规律，其内容和多含何人、何地、何事、何时等，阅读时要抓住新闻的这一主要特点去理解判断。
  3. 要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是材料的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。
  
  新闻报道类阅读答题技巧：
  

  1.审视标题，抓住中心<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  试题中有的文章有标题，有的没有，拟题人是有所考虑的。标题是文章主题的高度凝聚。
  它能给我们启发和想象，想象文章的内容和走向。这样做有利于对文章的理解，能提高做题的效率。

  2.浏览全文，掌握全貌

  如果时间紧，至少要快速通读全文，尤其是首两段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来，这样全文的梗概便一目了然了。

  3.细读题目，抓住要点

  对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：
  如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。
  另外还要注意试题难易，应暂时绕开那些少数较难的题目，先做最有把握、最熟悉的题目，也就是该类题可以直接或间接从文章中找到的。
  而对于那些要通过对文章归纳判断、逻辑推理的题目，需要再对全文快速阅读，仔细分析思考，反复比较、推敲选出正确答案。
  若文章短可先读短文，后看文后题目；如果文章太长，你可以先把文章后面的问题看一遍，带着问题去看文章。这样可以帮助你去掉杂念，提高阅读速度和解题的正确性。
  要善于找关键句，特别要注意文章的第一段和最后一段的头一句话，往往就是关键句，可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主题。
