—科普小品文【体裁解读】

科学技术是人类进步发展的重要动力，阅读科学技术文献有助于我们学习了解把握科技知识信息，学会展开科技活动。

科技篇章的语言通常都是比较正式，偶尔会有写给青少年的科普作品，会用比较轻快简洁浅显生动的语言。

在科技篇章中，由于科学的严谨性，语句通常都比较严谨，表述直接明确，与其他类型篇章相比，被动语态、非谓语动词形式、形式主语结构使用相对较多，动词时态变化、比喻夸张等修辞形式使用相对较少，有时会有很多专业词语和语句形式，有些常用词可能用于表达专业意义。

科技篇章结构比较清楚，层次分明，语句段落逻辑关联强而且明确，限定性修饰比较多。

对科技篇章，同学们首先应该理解篇章的语词、语句，有些语词，特别是一些科技专业术语，可能涉及我们对篇章的关键内容的理解。

科技篇章中的词语、语句理解是科技篇章理解的重要因素，有时甚至是关键因素。

科技篇章的推论理解要素大多不太直接，同学们可以从科技篇章中推论出：

作者对科学精神和科学技术的作用功能的肯定赞同（偶尔会有反科学的所谓科技文章，但很少，考生几乎不可能在阅读英语材料时阅读到），作者对某一/某些科学观点/科学方法的肯定赞同支持，作者对科学家的肯定支持，作者对科学实验结论/结果的肯定支持等。
