成人高考英语阅读理解提分宝典
众所周知，成人高考英语中阅读理解部分分值最高，因此有“得阅读者得天下”之说，但近观历年成人高考，阅读理解得分率不高。怎样才能取得更好的成绩呢?
▼ 转折与对比
转折与对比处常常是语义的重点，命题常常要涉及，转折一般通过however, but, instead, yet, in fact等词语表示。
【真题示例1】 (2015 浙江，阅读C)
If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
50. According to the passage, human beings _________.
A. prefer to live in the darkness
B. are used to living in the day light
C. were curious about the midnight world
D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon
【答案解析】 B 考查推理判断。命题点在“Instead”处。根据第二句“Instead, we are diurnal creatures …”可知，人类日间活动，眼睛习惯了阳光下的生活，B项与文章内容一致。
【真题示例2】 (2015 天津, 阅读B)
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

A. train employees

D. take the place of workers
【答案解析】 B 考查事实细节。命题点在“but”处，根据 “But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees.”可知，设计这种机器人不是用来替代人工的，而是和其他工人一起工作，因此它们会成为我们的'同事。

【真题示例1】 (2015 四川，阅读C)
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year.
