初中阅读理解，在英语考试试卷中占的分值大，而且对学生的做题技巧要求也很高。那么，初中生如何提高英语阅读理解能力呢？下面我们从主旨大意、细节理解、猜测词义、推理判断等四个方面说一下使学生的英语综合应用能力得到整体提高。

一、主旨大意题

考查学生对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。

提問方式：

（1）问标题：What is the main topic of the passage？ The best title for the passage is ______.

（2）问中心：The first paragraph is mainly about the _____

The passage is mostly about____

（3）：问目的;态度The author wants to tell ____，The purpose of this article is to ____，容易选错的干扰项：以偏概全 夸大主题 把观点强加给作者。

二、解题策略

找主题句。主题句是归纳文章中心的句子，它的出现有三种情况：

（1）在开头。主题句在文章开头，其后的句子则是论证性细节。 新闻报道、说明文、议论文常用此方式。Good morning.The program today is about music.The word“music”comes from the Greek word“muse”.The Muses are the goddesses of the arts.Music is only one of the arts.It is like the spoken language，but is uses sounds.Today's program brings together music from different corners of the world. Who invented music？Who sang the first song？No one knows exactly the answers to these questions.But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone's life.

Babies and young children love to hear people singing to them.When they are a little older，they like to sing the songs they have heard. When children go to school，their world of music grows. In the middle grades students take music lessons.When they reach high school，they become interested in listening to pop music.

文章开头就说明今天的节目是关于音乐的，其后的句子都是围绕介绍音乐的。从音乐的起源，形式，作用到全世界的受人喜爱音乐，进行逐一说明。

（2）在结尾。文章最后一句“In fact，the true love is not built on friendship，loyalty or blood relationship.Instead，itis based on no relationship.真正的爱不以友谊、忠诚抑或是血缘关系为前提，事实上，真正的爱，是无条件的博爱。” 就是在前面故事的基础上的总结与概括，即文章的主旨。

（3）在中间。通常是文章的开头提出问题，陈述细节，导出主题句，然后再进一步用细节说明支持主题句。如：Nothing is as useful as a flashlight on a dark night if a tire goes flat. Few inventions are so helpful to a child who is afraid of the dark.

In fact，the modern flashlight brings light to many dark situations. Finding something in the back of a closet is easy with a flashlight in hand.A camper also needs one after the light of the campfire has been out.

有些文章或段落无明显的主题句， 只是暗示性地体现主题. 这就要求考生在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实 或提供的线索来概括总结主旨大意。

三、细节理解题

本类试题主要考查学生对阅读材料中的某一特定细节或文章的主要事实的理解能力。……
