Ⅱ.阅读理解之主旨大意题
我们阅读一篇文章,首先是要了解其大意,明确其主旨。
因此,主旨大意题是常考题。
主旨大意题包括:
主要内容(mainidea,mainlyabout)型、文章标题(title)型、写作目的(purpose)型。
广东高考近几年来考查过的题目中mainlyabout只考过4题,title题考了5题,purpose题考了5题。
◎解题技巧
1.弄清文章的大意,关键是找到主题句。
主题句的位置:
主题句通常在文首、文末或首尾呼应,有时也在文中,或没有主题句,需根据文章所述内容进行归纳。
各段的主题句也常在该段的首句或尾句。
议论文和说明文一般有主题句,但记叙文通常没有主题句,需要归纳。
2.找主题句的方法:
用浏览法(skimming),即
快速阅读文首、文尾,或每段的首句和尾句等,搜索主题线索和主题信息。
找主题句的四个小窍门:
(1)段落中出现表转折的词语(如however,but,infact,actually等)时,该句很可能是主题句。
(2)首段出现疑问句时,对该问题的回答很可能就是文章主旨。
(3)作者有意识地反复重复的观点,通常是主旨;反复出现的词语,一般为体现文章主旨的关键词。
(4)表示总结或结论的话常有therefore,thus,inshort,conclude,conclusion等。
3.关于干扰项和正确答案。
(1)干扰项可能属文中某个具体事实或细节;可能属文中某些(不完全的)事实或细节片面推出的错误结论;可能属非文章事实的主观臆断。
(2)正确答案:
是根据文章意思全面理解而归纳概括出来的;但不能太笼统、言过其实或以偏概全。
4.在阅读理解中,主旨大意题常有以下几种命题方式:
(1)Mainidea型:
选择项多为陈述句,要求考生选择表达作者思想或观点的句子。
题干多为如下形式:
①What'sthemainidea/pointofthepassage?
②Thepassageismainlyabout________.
③Thepassageismainlyconcernedabout________.
④Whichofthefollowingbeststatesthemainideaofthepassage?
⑤Whichofthefollowingstatementsbestexpressesthemainidea/themeofthepassage?
⑥Inthispassagetheauthordiscussesprimarily______.
⑦Thesubjectdiscussedinthistextis________.
⑧Thegeneral/mainideaofthepassageisabout________.
(2)Mainpurpose型:
选择项多为动宾结构,要求考生找到主要的写作目的,常见以下几种题干形式:
①What'sthepurposeofthepassage?
②Thepassageismeantto________.
③Thepurposeofthearticleisto________.
④Inthispassagethewritertriestotellusthat________.
⑤Thepassagetellsusthat________.
⑥Theauthor'smainpurposeinwritingthepassageisto...
(3)标题型:
选择文章标题是另一类对主旨大意题考查的形式,命题形式:
①Thebesttitleofthepassageis________.
②Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleofthepassage?
③Thebesttitleforthepassageis________.
④Themostappropriatetitleofthepassageis________.

30.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthepassage?
A.AWheelchairExperience.
B.WeaknessandKindness.
C.WeaknessandStrength.
D.ADrivingExperience
解析:
主旨大意题。
在第一段中,出现了表转折的But...可知,“ButIhavefoundthatmyweaknessbringsoutthekindnessinpeople”便是主题句,再根据第二段最后一句可以确定,这句的确是主题句。
又因标题要简明、醒目,故选B。
答案:
B

主旨大意题。
在第一段中,出现了转折的Actually,其后的“Peoplenowrealizethatthisunhealthysituationmustbechanged,andthatwemustbeabletodevelopinsustainable(可持续的)ways”是主题句,随后的两句话都是对这一句进
行解释;句中两个must清楚表明了作者“提倡可持续发展”,第二段首句“Today,sustainabledevelopmentisapropertrendinmanycountries”进一步说明,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是“提倡可持续发展”。
故选D。
答案:
D
