一、閱讀理解是考查學生通過閱讀短文而對相關信息的加工情況。解此類題必須掌握兩大技巧：
（一）閱讀的技巧
1.閱讀時不要出聲，要養成快速閱讀的好習慣。
2.閱讀時不要逐字閱讀，要養成以意羣爲單位閱讀的好習慣。
3.學會找關鍵詞、關鍵句。關鍵句通常位於段落的開頭或結尾。
4.學會根據上下文猜測生詞的詞義。
（二）答題的技巧
1.通讀全文，瞭解大意。
2.帶着問題，復讀原文。
3.理解識別，推斷歸納。
4.複覈檢查，確保無誤。
二、會考的閱讀理解測試點主要分兩大類：
（一）以識別語篇的事實和細節爲主的題目。要求學生能綜合運用語言和通過上下文抓住關鍵詞句，即抓住事實和細節。此類題大都可以在短文中直接找到答案，相對較易。
（二）以理解爲主的推測判斷題目。有些題目只靠抓住細節和事實是遠遠不夠的，需要考生深入理解，進行推測，進行判斷。這類題難度較大。
例析：
Babies love chocolate – and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, and letters, for example. She doesn’t like newspapers very much.
Of course, the paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?
Scientists say: “All food comes in some way from plants.” Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the … Chickens eat bits of grass and give us … Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?
Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very food too. Now they have begun to say: “We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult.” What is the next thing? Perhaps it is – food from paper. Scientists say: “We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food too; cheaper than meat or fish or eggs.”
So please keep your old books and letters. (Don’t feed them to your cat.) One day, soon, they will be on your plate. There is nothing like a good story for breakfast.
