閱讀理解題，首先要粗讀文章了解大意，其次通過細讀，理解全文。在粗讀的基礎上，仔細閱讀題后所給的題目，根據題目要求，再有重點地返回來仔細閱讀。在閱讀理解的題目中，所設問題主要有以下幾種方式：找主題或概括文章的中心思想、就文中的具體事實和情節(jié)進行提問、根據文章的表層意思進行深層次的推理判斷等，在細讀時，要根據設問的方式，進行有側重地閱讀。1、概括文章中心思想。1)文首呈現主題句。2)文尾出現主題句。3)首尾呼應展現主題。4)文中表述主題。前面提出問題，文中的主題由隨之陳述的細節(jié)或合乎邏輯的引申在文中導出，而后再做進一步的解釋。5)文章沒有主題句。在這種情況下，考生要把所有的細節(jié)綜合起來。進行邏輯推理，概括歸納出文章的主題句。2.掌握文章的具體事實和重要情節(jié)。在考題中，經常會見到就文章中某一具體事實和重要情節(jié)進行測試的題目。這就要求考生在閱讀時要注意辨認和記憶具體事實，重要情節(jié)，事物的起因、過程、結果及發(fā)生的地點、時間等，這些都有可能作為測試點。還有一些測試題，要求考生在理解的基礎上，通過自己的思維將理解的內容系統化，比如計算、排序等題型。
