英语阅读训练归纳概括主题
英语阅读训练--归纳概括主题
(TitleandMainIdea)
归纳概括中心主旨的题目是高考必考题目,考查考生通过阅读理解,总结归纳,找出文章中心意思的能力。
要做好这类题考生必须区分主要信息和次要信息;既看到树木, 更看到森林;要跳出一词一句,而俯瞰全文;要通读全文,通篇理解。
找出主题句(topicsentence)是一个有用的方法。
中心意思(mainidea)通常是一个完整的句子,它应能全面准确地概括文章的中心主旨;最佳题目(thebesttitle)可以是一个短语词组,它除能概括文章的中心主旨外,还有吸引读者,引发阅读兴趣的任务。
考察文章主题的提问方式常用的有:
①Thesubjectofthepassageis________.
②Themainideais________.
③Thetitleis________.
④Thepassagemainlytalksabout________.
⑤Whattopicistreatedinthispassage________.
⑥Thepointofthepassageisthat________.
⑦What’sthetopicofthefirstparagraph?
⑧Thebestheadlineforthepassagewouldbe________.
⑨Whichtitlebestgivestheideaofthepassage?
⑩What’sthemainpointthewriteristryingtomakeinthelastparagraph?
1.主题句位于段首
其特点是演绎式,开门见山提出论点,再分别说明。
例如:
Peoplehaveknownaboutgoldforaverylongtime(主题句).Theearlycavepeopleknewofgold(论据).Goldcupswereusedbypeoplewholivedmorethan5,000yearsago(论据).GoldnecklacesandotherthingsmadeofgoldhavebeenfoundinEgypt.Theyarealsomorethan5,000yearsold(论据).
Q:
Themainideaofthepassageis________.
A.goldiswidelyused
B.manythingscanbemadeofgold.
C.goldwasknownbypeoplelongtimesago.
D.goldwasfound5,000yearsago
[分析]第一句是文章的主题句,其后分3个论据来论叙这一主题。
答案C与文章主题同义。
在阅读中要注意,所有用语证明论点的根据和理由都应具一定的逻辑关系。
我们可以按照这种逻辑关系推断出结论。
2.主题句位于段尾
其特点是归纳式,即细节在前,概括在后。
例如:
Oneofthemostimportantusesofgoldisformoney.Goldcanbeusedtomakerings,earrings,andotherthings.Goldisalsousedtomakegoldleaf,averyflatribbon(带)ofgoldthatisoftenusedonpictureframes.Cupsanddishescanalsobemadefromgold.Goldhasmanyuses.
Q:
Thebesttitleofthispassageis________.
A.themostimportantusesofgold
B.wideusesofgold
C.manythingsmadeofgold
D.theimportanceofgold.
[分析]这一段是从金子最主要的用途谈起,然后用also,often等词列举出其他用途,最后归纳出“goldhasmanyuses”这一主题,与B选项一致。
3.主题句位于段中
其特点是:
引题—主题—解释或提问—回答—解释。
例如:
Aportisaplacewhereshipsstaywhentheyarenotsailing.Shipsusuallyloadorunloadataport.So,aspaceportisaplacewhere“spaceships”staywhentheyarenotflying.Ithasspecialbuildingswherethespaceshipsarekept.Italsohassuppliesneededforspacetravel.
Q:
Thepassagemainlytellsus________.
A.whataspaceportis
B.thataportisaplacewhereshipsstay
C.thataspaceportisaspecialbuilding
D.whataportandaspaceportare
[分析]本段是由“港口是船不航行时停留的地方”这一人人都明白的概念引出“宇航港是宇宙飞船不飞行时停留的地方”这一抽象难懂的概念,进而加以解释。
其中心就是向人们介绍什么是宇航港,所以A选项是主题。
4.首尾呼应的主题句
通常是指文章开头和结尾相互对应。
了解这一点有利于根据文章开头和结尾进行综合推理。
例如:
ShuPulonghashelpedatleast1,000peoplebittenbysnakes.“Itwasseeingpeoplewithsnakebitesthatledmetothiscareer.”hesaid.
·································
“ThesadstorytouchedmesomuchthatIdecidedtodevotemyselftohelpingpeoplebittenbysnakes.”Shusaid.
Q:
Whatdoyouthinkthewritertalksaboutinthemissingpartofthearticle?
A.Thesadstoryofthepeoplebittenbysnakes.
B.HowdidShuhelpthepeople?
C.WhydidShuhelpthepeople?
D.HowmuchdidShulikehiscareer?
[分析]从文章开头“看到被蛇咬伤的人们使我选择了这一职业”和段末“这悲惨的故事使我如此震动,因此我决定把一生献给这些人们”可以看出本文的主题是“苏普龙如何成为蛇医”。
那么中间一段是说明“那悲惨的故事”的,答案是A。
5.无主题句
依据文中事实,细节,观点,综合归纳成一般概念。
例如:
Goodafternoon.Thisisyourcaptainspeaking.Wehavebeenwarnedofthedangerofstrongairturbulenceaheadforthenextfortymilesorso.Passengersarethereforestronglyaskedtoremainintheirseatswiththeirseatbeltonfortheirsafetyandnottousetherestroomsduringthatdangerousperiodifatallpossible.Duringthetimeyoungchildrenshouldbefirmlyfastenedintotheirseats.
Pleaseobservetheseprecautionuntiltheseatbeltwarringsignhasgoneoff.Lunchwillbeservedafterwehavepassedthroughtheairturbulencezone.Thankyou.
Q:
Thebesttitleforthispassagewouldbe________.
A.TheCaptainandthePassengers
B.SomethingAbouttheStrongAirTurbulence
C.ForyourOwnSafety
D.Don’tMoveAroundandKeepStill
[分析]此文是一篇广播通知,告知旅客飞机可能遇到强气流前的注意事项,完全出于安全考虑,由此可判断此文的中心是选项C所给内容。
此问不是知识介绍,不选B。
答案D中心不突出,不明确,旅客一听或许以为是飞机被劫持了。
