40、體的闡述。如：(全國高考題) A JINTAN, JIANGSU: The 20 students 18 boys and 2 girls had a thousand reasons to be 5 proud of themselves.

It is just unbelievable! said a teacher from Guangdong province. Named after China's most famous mathematician, Hua Luogeng, the

42、 contest started in 1986, one year after his death. In less than 10 years, it has been recognized by the State Education Commission(國家教委) as the country's biggest and best contest of its kind. This news story is mainly about _. A. when the contest started B. how the contest got its name C. the 2

43、0 pupils who have won gold medals in the contest D. the 5th National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest 【分析】這是一篇報道，文章的第一段只有兩句話：“20個學生(2女18男)有充分的理由為自己感到自豪，因為他們奪得了第五屆華羅庚杯數(shù)學競賽的金獎，是4百萬參賽學生中的佼佼者”，下文接著對競賽的有關(guān)情況進行報道，因此，第一段實際上就是這篇報道的主題句。A、B、C分別只包含了報道的部分信息，顯然不合題意；D選項與主題句的意思完全一致，因此是正確答案。 2. 主題句在文中 這類文章寫法

44、上的特點是：開始部分是引題，接著是點題，最后是對主題進行敘述，主題句常常起著承上啟下的作用。如：(全國高考題) Fat on human beings is distributed in different ways.

45、pes of fat: external fat (fat under the skin) and internal fat (fat inside the body wall). Doctors, who have been examining the relationship between health and fatness, have found that the 'pears' have less internal fat, but the 'apples' have more internal fat than external fat. This

46、 seems to be what causes the health problems. The best treatment for fatness is to reduce the internal fat.

47、ing the internal rather than external fat. The text is mainly about _. A. fatness and health B. ways to lose weigh C. people's figures D. distribution of fat 【分析】該文的第一段交代了脂肪在體內(nèi)的分布狀況；第二段交代了脂肪的種類及不同種類的脂肪與健康之間的關(guān)系；第三段講的是減肥應該減掉哪一類脂肪以及節(jié)食存在的問題。很明顯，第二段，特別是第二段的第二句，起著承上啟下的作用，是該文的主題句。A選項符合主題句的意思，應該是正確答案；B選

48、項與文章的意思無關(guān)；可以排除；C、D選項分別只與文章的部分信息有關(guān)，也可以排除。 3. 主題句在文末 6 這種寫法的特點是：在敘述完某件事情或某個話題之后，用一句話交代事情的結(jié)果或?qū)η懊娴臄⑹鲞M行歸納。如：(廣東高考題) In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探險者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities

49、. They expressed their surprise to the moon people they met. In turn, the moon people” expressed their surprise. Why, they asked, are you traveling to outer space 桷湥礠畯搠湯?癥湥甠敳礠畯?湩敮?灳撿? H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today kn

50、ow that there are no underground cities on the moon. How ever, the question that the moon people asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such a

52、magine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太陽能穹頂) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surfac

53、e, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' moon people would agree. Would you? What would be the best title for the text? A. Alice Citiescities of the future B. Space travel with H.G. Wells C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up 【分析】文章以月球人的問題Why

54、 are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space? 引起話題，接著講敘了人類目前對地下空間的利用現(xiàn)狀，結(jié)尾以地下空間開發(fā)的支持者的話點題 building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space。A選項只是本文話題的部分意思，不是主要話題；B選項與文章的意思無關(guān)；文章主要是講地下空間的開發(fā)利用，而不是講如何享受地下生活，因此C選項與文章的主題也無關(guān)；D選項符合文章的主要內(nèi)容，與主題句的

55、意思一致，因此，是該題的正確答案。 4. 主題句以首尾呼應的形式出現(xiàn)在文首和文末 這種寫法的特點是：文章一開始就點題，接著舉例，最后回歸主題。如：(全國高考題) Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten by snakes. It was seeing people with snake bites that led me to this career, he said. In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a do
