【專題突破】考生在做閱讀理解題時要把握考查五大要點：1.主旨大意類；2.細節理解類；3.推理判斷類；4.詞義猜測類；5.觀點態度類等五大類別，然后每種類別采用不同的做題技巧來突破。具體說：
1.主旨大意類
技巧：1）抓住解題的關鍵----主題句和主題段。主題句經常出現在文章的開頭或結尾之處，也有可能出現在文中，主題段通常在文章的開頭用來交待文章的中心意思，然后在全段或全文中展開主題；2）準確了解文章結構，確切把握文章的脈絡，然后利于閱讀技巧，快速排除干擾信息，概括文章的大意和主題，確定正確選項。
2.細節理解類
1）細節理解題的解題原則是：要選擇的答案一定要在原文中找到相關的詞、詞組、句子或段落。選擇的依據必須是短文本身提供的信息，而絕不可根據自己的主觀假設及推測或是自己的觀點來決定；）2）在閱讀過程中對涉及到who(何人)，when(何時)，where(何地)，how(怎樣)，why(為何)等常考的細節內容做適當標記，以便于解題時迅速、準確地查找。3）根據題干中的關鍵詞，找準相關句、段的內容，再仔細對照，不符合原文意義的選擇要首先排除，反之，則是正確選項。
