1、PAGE PAGE 35（超值精品）2013屆英語(yǔ)科5年高考3年模擬專題十七 閱讀理解（主旨大意）【備考策略】這類題主要是測(cè)試學(xué)生對(duì)一篇文章或一段文字的深層理解程度及在速讀中準(zhǔn)確把握文章主旨大意的能力。一般針對(duì)某一語(yǔ)段或某一語(yǔ)篇的主題標(biāo)題或目的設(shè)題。常見(jiàn)的設(shè)題方式有：(1) Which of the following best describes the main point of the passage?(2) What is the writer trying to tell us?(3) Which of the following is the best title for the

2、passage?(4) The purpose of the passage is.(5) The main (general) idea of the passage is.(6) The passage is mainly about.(7) What is mainly discussed in the passage?這類題通常圍繞一個(gè)中心思想展開(kāi)，一些文章一開(kāi)頭便展示出文章的中心思想，第一段常常是內(nèi)容的梗概，同時(shí)又表達(dá)了中心思想，也有一些文章的中心思想貫穿全文，并沒(méi)有用一句話明確表達(dá)出來(lái)，這就要求學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)歸納概括。每個(gè)段落往往也由一個(gè)主題句或幾個(gè)陳述句構(gòu)成，它們?cè)诰渲械奈恢貌煌?，有時(shí)

3、在開(kāi)頭, 首先點(diǎn)明本段大意; 有時(shí)在結(jié)尾, 總結(jié)本段大意。 做這類題，首先要找出文章的主題句。找出文章的主題句，也就明確了文章要講什么，再通過(guò)速讀全文，就可以把握文章的中心思想了。 主題句在整個(gè)語(yǔ)段中起著通領(lǐng)全段的作用，其它句子都是用來(lái)闡述、解釋、支持或發(fā)展主題句所表達(dá)的主題思想的，其位置一般位于段首，也見(jiàn)于段尾或段中。 另外在許多文段中，設(shè)有可以概括全段意義的主題句，必須根據(jù)文章中所提供的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，進(jìn)行全面分析，然后歸納成一般概念。但必須注意，既不能以偏概全，也不能在概括時(shí)過(guò)于寬泛，要恰如其分。 這就需要進(jìn)一步加工概括了。第一招在許多情況下，尤其在閱讀說(shuō)明文和議論文時(shí)，根據(jù)其篇章特點(diǎn)我們可以

4、通過(guò)尋找短文的主題句來(lái)歸納出文章的主題。主題句在文章中的位置通常有三種情況：開(kāi)頭、中間、結(jié)尾（含在開(kāi)頭結(jié)尾同時(shí)出現(xiàn)、首尾呼應(yīng)的主題句）。因此仔細(xì)閱讀這類文章或段落的首尾句是關(guān)鍵。做主旨大意類試題多采用瀏覽法。瀏覽時(shí)，一般不需逐句瀏覽，只需選讀文章的首段、尾段，或每段的首句和尾句。重點(diǎn)搜索主題線索和主題信息。有些文章的主題句或者說(shuō)“文眼”出現(xiàn)在文章的最后，此類文章往往以列舉事實(shí)開(kāi)頭，通過(guò)論證，最后闡述核心觀點(diǎn)，或者引用某個(gè)人的話印證自己的觀點(diǎn)，以此歸納文章的主旨大意，所以有時(shí)要找出這樣的信息，從中提煉標(biāo)題或歸納大意。第二招抓住文章段落大意，概括中心思想尋找整篇文章的中心思想是建立在尋找具體段落中

5、心的基礎(chǔ)上的。各段落中心的整體歸納便是文章的中心思想。在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，考生們不能只依據(jù)只言片語(yǔ)，或光看文章的某一些段落，而應(yīng)該觀察全文的結(jié)構(gòu)安排，理解文章的重點(diǎn)，考慮文章中材料及支撐性細(xì)節(jié)是服務(wù)于什么的，分析故事的發(fā)展結(jié)局都是圍繞什么中心來(lái)安排的。最后用簡(jiǎn)明扼要的文字將文章的中心思想表達(dá)出來(lái)。即不能以偏概全，也不能在概括時(shí)過(guò)于寬泛，要恰如其分。第三招抓住文章主線和關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)，歸納文章中心要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句，有時(shí)主題句暗含在句中。閱讀這樣的文章，就需要自己根據(jù)文章的細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)分析，概括出段落的主題，從而推導(dǎo)出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾方面的內(nèi)容，這些內(nèi)容在邏輯上有什么

6、聯(lián)系，然后加以歸納形成主題?？键c(diǎn)解析該題型提問(wèn)的形式主要有三類：第一類是Main Idea型；第二類是Topic/Title型；第三類是Purpose and Attitude型。 .Main Idea型 這種題型一般針對(duì)某一語(yǔ)段或某一語(yǔ)篇的主題思想或目的設(shè)題；有的也會(huì)針對(duì)文中的某一關(guān)鍵段落的思想和目的進(jìn)行設(shè)題。Which of the following best describes the main point of the passage? The main (general) idea of the passage is _. From the passage we know that

7、 _. Whats the main idea /topic / subject /point of this passage? What does the passage mainly deal with? The article is written to explain _. All the details in this passage support the main idea _. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss? The first paragraph mainly tells us _. Whats the main id

8、ea of the third paragraph?1首先要找出文章的主題句(Topic Sentence)，即中心思想，其他句子則為支撐句或擴(kuò)展句(Developing Details)，是用來(lái)闡述、解釋、支持或發(fā)展主題句所表達(dá)的主題思想的。 2在許多文段中，沒(méi)有可以概括全段意義的主題句，必須根據(jù)文章中所提供的事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，進(jìn)行全面分析，然后歸納成一般概念。但必須注意：既不能以偏概全，也不能在概括時(shí)過(guò)于寬泛，要恰如其分。 .Topic/Title型 在閱讀理解的命題中，有時(shí)要求確定相應(yīng)的標(biāo)題，以考查考生對(duì)全文中心思想的理解。 The best title/ headline for this p

9、assage might be _. The text (passage) could be entitled _. What is the best title for the passage? Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? The topic of the passage is _. 1給文章加標(biāo)題，首先要把握好文章大意，不能把文章某一段的大意看做是整篇文章的大意，更不能把文章細(xì)節(jié)看成是文章大意，以防標(biāo)題的片面性。 2注意文章的體裁及文章意圖。根據(jù)不同體裁，結(jié)合敘述的過(guò)程、說(shuō)明的用途、議論的主題

10、等，從而正確地確定標(biāo)題。 3注意文章標(biāo)題本身的句法和語(yǔ)法特征：一是要言簡(jiǎn)意賅，引人注目；二是要利用省略等修辭手段，盡量使標(biāo)題句法結(jié)構(gòu)正確。.Purpose and Attitude型 每一篇文章都能體現(xiàn)出其寫(xiě)作意圖、作者的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)。命題中常結(jié)合考生對(duì)文章的理解，考查對(duì)寫(xiě)作目的和作者態(tài)度的理解。常見(jiàn)的設(shè)題方式有：The authors main purpose in writing the passage is _. The passage is meant to _. The purpose of this article is _. The authors attitude towardi

11、s best described as one of _. What might be the purpose of the author to write this passage? What is the authors main purpose in this passage文章需要通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)支撐文章的思想和大意，而作者正是通過(guò)這些思想和大意來(lái)體現(xiàn)其態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)和目的。因此，領(lǐng)會(huì)文章的態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)和目的與文章的主旨大意是密不可分的?！敬鸢讣敖馕觥緽主旨大意題。文章第六、七兩段點(diǎn)出了文章的主題思想。The game between humans and their smart devices

53、the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
