南开中学段胜利

解答阅读表达题，首先要读准题干，判断好题目类型，弄清是属于细节、猜词、推断、主旨和观点态度中的哪一个，这将有助于找准答题信息。

第一个题属于细节，要回答“theSchooloftheFuture”与otherschools的区别。从第一段一上来说到的“…isbelievedtobethefirstintheworldtocombineinnovationteachingmethodswiththelatesttechnology.”就不难找出答案：Itcombinesinnovationteachingmethodswiththelatesttechnology.

第二个题是猜词，要明确atrandom的词义，我们不妨研读一下它的上下文：Theschoolhasnoentranceexams.The170ninth–gradestudentswereselectedatrandomfrom1500applicants.上文“没有考试”和下文“从1500报名者中选”，就告诉我们，atrandom应该是“随便或随机挑出来的”，用英语说即是choosingfreely/withouttakinganexam。

第三个题还是细节，要找到文章最后一段对DavidTerry的描述：DavidTerry，14，saidhewashopingto“turnoveranewleaf”afterdisciplineproblemsinhispreviousschoollefthimwithan“averagetoreallybad”academicrecord.“Thisisagreatopportunityforme，”这其中的关键是理解好“turnoveranewleaf”，应当是从头再来，掀开新的一页，再结合后面提到的他在原学校中的问题，可以归纳出：Hewillprobablyworkhardandgethisgradeimproved.

第四个题是开放问题，你可以发表自己对“theSchooloftheFuture”的观点。你可以结合自己的学习经历和学校发展的趋势来作答。通常这种问题不会只有唯一的答案，应当是多种合理的参考答案。这里，你可以参考下面的回答。

Yes，Ithinkso，becauseatthisschoolstudentscandevelopthehabitofthinkingforthemselvesandacquirethepracticalskillsofproblem–solvingandcommunication.

第五个题是主旨问题，要根据文章的结构特点来归纳出文章的题目。全文讲述的话题是“TheSchooloftheFuture”，arecently–openedpublicschoolinPhiladelphia，US。根据这样的话题特点，我们在思考题目时考虑如何把这个话题信息传达清楚。例如，我们可以说：1.High–techSchoolOpensinPhiladelphia，US；也可以说2.TheSchooloftheFutureOpensinPhiladelphia，US；还可以说3.TheSchooloftheFuture–aHigh–techSchool。这样简练、清楚地概括话题，就可以完成题目的要求。

阅读表达虽说是个新题型，但是，同学们对它也并非完全陌生。我们过去所做的阅读理解客观选择题，也是考查上面所述各个方面。阅读表达，要求同学们来准确无误地理解问题，并在文章中找出答案，并在需要的时候来进行概括和表达，这同阅读理解是“异曲同工”，相信同学们经过摸索、训练，一定能掌握答题要领，取得理想的成绩。

下面，再提供一个练习，供同学们进行巩固训练。
