新高考英语阅读题,阅读选材广泛,各种文体各占一定的比例,在内容上贴近生活,语言能够体现当代英语的特点,语篇逻辑经得起推敲,与学生的阅读水平相吻合。阅读理解设计题目的结构难度基本稳定,方式大致相同。但词汇总量加大,阅读速度提高,且非考纲词汇有所增加,长难句有所增加。时文报道类、科普知识类、应用广告类、史地文化、短篇故事、说理小品、幽默小品是高考热门文章。但是艺术类考生对于这一题型解题基本靠猜,导致失分较多。针对这种实际情况,我总结了八点适合艺考生的解题方法,希望可以帮助他们得分。
一、三步法
首先通过题目中的信息词定位到文章段落。其次,确定两个信息,即“题中所问”和“文中所写”的信息。最后,从答案的选项中进行信息匹配。定位方法可分为:同义替换、推断、细节排除、主旨大意、逻辑定位、猜词指代、词感判断和长句子等八种。
首先我们要学会通过三步法找到答案。
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowings. Then her husband lost his job, and then the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘ come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition continue to rise. A report form the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callen, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that students loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

二、同義替换
Practice
Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
