高中英语新高考-阅读理解考前冲刺：指导你攻克解决D篇论说文

首先，我讲讲此类论说文读文策略：

说理文该如何把握段意：

（1）永远只有一个中心，通常都在首末句。

（2）说理文的行文结构：道理+论证（举例；对比；列举）

特别提示：某一段你可能看得头晕目眩，但你只要看懂一句（最好是两句），那么它就是你的救命稻草。说理文的文体特点决定了，为论点服务的每一个论据都是具有高度统一性。你只要看懂了一句，那么其它句子的本质含义和它是相关。这就是我强调的：看不懂例子就看论点；看不懂论点就看例子；看不到定位段的答案就看论点。

下面这篇文章可以说比去年高考阅读D还要难，但是，你若掌握上面的规律就会发现能快速搞定。请记住：论说文，重点抓论点。请仔细阅读我的解析内容：

【1】The word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies. It indicates a positive meaning. Politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minorities. Educators teach us to be tolerant towards the other. The press is full of references to the need to display tolerance when faced with individuals or groups espousing a different view or holding a different religious belief. A tolerant society is an objective sought after by anyone who believes in the values of democracy. Atolerant individual is attributed with virtuous qualities.

【2】The question we must ask is whether we have been using the word tolerance fully aware of itsmeaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wishto convey?

67. The firsttwo paragraphs are mainly intended to show that __________.

A. tolerance is a symbolof liberal democracies

B. democratic societyalways advocates tolerance

C. people’sunderstanding of tolerance is one-sided

D. tolerance can beapplied to many situations

解析：说理文都严格遵守按顺序出题的原则，那么就让我们读完第一二段看第一题。此题问的是一二段的目的。第二段属于第一段的文本推理总结。实际上，在论说文体中，前两段中出现疑问或转折时，即可判断：疑问句就是中心。C项说的是，人们对容忍的理解是片面的。第二段中的问题句中的“fully, really”即为作者的观点，像这种强烈的感情色彩词一定不能放过。情感色彩词一定反映了作者的态度。

【3】The word tolerance means to bear, or to bear with. If I tolerate something or someone, I basically say that I am ready to bear it or him. I can tolerate a badsmell or a noisy neighbour. The act of toleration forces me to stop conveyingmy objection to the existence of a phenomenon, which I find difficult to bear. A bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by me to be an objectionablephenomenon. By tolerating either of them, I am not transforming the bad smellor the noisy neighbour into positive phenomena. Let’s be honest:I don’t have adifferent taste when it comes to bad smells. I simply dislike it and wish thatit disappears. I don’t respect the noisy neighbour. I would rather have himstop at once the noise he is making so I can live in peace.

【4】To try toremove the bad smell or take reasonable action in order for the noisy neighbourto stop bothering me would most probably not be considered an intolerant act bymost people.

【5】Now, let’s try to apply the word tolerance in reference to a person who is law-abiding andholds a legally acceptable different view from my own. I may have a strong view,which is opposed to his. Quite frankly, I may decide to tolerate his view. By so doing, I would be attributing to it a negative characteristic. I would apply the same attitude to his view as to the bad smell or noisy neighbour. Thus, totry to take action in order to make his view disappear would be considered anintolerant act. To tolerate his view the way I would a bad smell or a noisyneighbour, could hardly be considered virtuous.

68. The example of a bad smell and a noisy neighbour is raised to indicate that __________.

A. the writer is fed up with them
