　　判断正误型阅读理解答题技巧

　　判断正误要求确认问题中的事实和细节是否符合原文的事实与细节。较高层次的问题也只是需要判断是否符合文章的中心、内涵、主题或者作者的意图、态度，甚至是文章的弦外之音。答题时应做到：

　　1.读题推断内容。首先把基本问题和深层次问题区别开来，目的是对基本问题也就是有关时间、地点、人物、事件等问题能够做到心中有数，同时在读题的时候要简单推断出文章内容。

　　2.据题速读原文。对基本问题有了大概了解以后，我们要带着这些基本问题回到原文中快速地找到相关的词句，然后确认问题中的事实和细节是否符合原文的事实与细节。

　　3.精读把握中心。完成对基本问题的判断以后，再浏览一遍深层次的问题，然后回到原文，精读原文以完成对文章的中心、内涵、主题或者作者的意图、态度，甚至是文章的弦外之音的理解和把握。最后确认这些问题是否与原文相符。

　　Passage 1

　　一、阅读理解

　　Now satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather.They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成).They send these pictures to the weather station.So the scientists there can see the weather of any part of the world and tell how the weather will change.

　　Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries can receive satellite pictures.When they receive the new pictures, they compare (比较) them with the earlier ones.Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours.This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too.In their next weather forecast, they can tell people about it.

　　So the weather satellites are of a great help to the scientists at the station. In the past they could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours earlier.Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days.Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

　　①The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms.卫星拍摄大气层的照片，因为这里是形成天气变化的地方。

　　②So the weather satellites are of a great help to the scientists at the station.因此气象卫星对于气象站的科学家有很大的帮助。

　　③Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.不久，或许他们能预报一周或更提前的天气情况。

　　根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

　　Passage 2

　　二、阅读理解

　　Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to man.Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens.But man was limited (限制) by six planets that he could see with his eyes alone.

　　The Greeks (希腊人) studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago.They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star.They could see its place in the sky.They watched the stars move as the seasons changed.But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.

　　Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man knew a little about the moon.He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it.His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets.Pluto (冥王星), the last of nine planets to be discovered, was not seen until 1930.

　　Before the spectroscope (分光镜), man did not know what kind of gases was in the sun or other stars.Without the radiotelescope (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noises came from far in space.

　　Today, astronomy is a growing science.We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.

　　①But man was limited by six planets that he could see with his eyes alone.但是人类被肉眼能看到的六颗行星所限制。

　　②Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space.每一种被用于天文学领域的新工具都能帮助人类向太空延伸。

　　③Pluto, the last of nine planets to be discovered, was not seen until 1930.九大行星之中最后被发现的冥王星直到1930年才被看到。

　　根据短文内容，判断下列各句正(T)误(F)。

　　1.It was believed that there were about fifty planets in space in the early 1700s.

　　2.When the Greeks watched the stars, they knew what the stars were made of.

　　3.Thousands of years ago, man watched the stars with their eyes.

　　4.People didn't know about Pluto until 1930.

　　5.In the last fifty years, people began to do research on astronomy.

　　Passage 1

　　本文介绍现在卫星可以帮助预报天气，在过去可以预报未来24或48小时的天气，现在它们可以预报未来3至5天的天气情况，也许将来不久就会预测一周或更长时间的天气情况。

　　1.B。从文中“The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere，because this is where the weather forms.”可知，天气变化是在大气中形成的。

　　2.C。由文中第二段提供的信息可知，大气中云的变化意味着地面的天气很快也要发生变化。

　　3.B。从文中“In the past they could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours earlier.”可知，过去在卫星没有用于天气预报的时候，科学家们只能预报未来24或48小时的天气情况。

　　习惯是后天养成的。Custom is a second nature.

　　有个好习惯，事事皆不难。Custom makes all things easy.

　　4.D。文章的第一句“Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather.”以及下文所提供的信息，表明这篇文章主要是告诉我们卫星现在用于天气预报。

　　Passage 2

　　本文介绍了天文学从古到今的发展，特别是利用现代先进的观测仪器对太空的观测，使天文学在最近50年间的研究成果空前地发展。

　　1.F。根据短文第三段中的句子“In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets.”可判断此题错误。

　　3.C。“9∶00a.m.—4∶00 p.m.except Friday10∶00 a.m.—3∶00 p.m.”从这里可知动物园在Friday是10∶00 a.m.—3∶00 p.m.开放，其余时间均是9∶00 a.m.—4∶00 p.m.开放。

　　4.C。注意不要遗漏左下角的“Keep the zoo clean！”

　　2.Without the radiotelescope, we didn't know that radio noises came from far in space.没有射电望远镜，我们不知道无线电波来自遥远的太空。(Line 15,Passage 2)
