高中英語(yǔ) 解題指導(dǎo)1 主旨大意 歷年考題(含答案解析)

高中英語(yǔ)必考點(diǎn)解題指導(dǎo)1主旨大意精選歷年考題(含答案解析)

本類考題解答錦囊

一篇文章通常是圍繞一個(gè)中心思想展開(kāi)的。不少文章一開(kāi)頭便展示出文章的主題，特別是新聞報(bào)道，

第一小段通常是故事的梗概，這一段往往表達(dá)了文章的中心思想：在文章的段落中，則通常由開(kāi)頭的一句

作為主題句(topicsentence)來(lái)概括該段的中心思想。主題句一般具有三個(gè)特點(diǎn)：

1.表述的意思比較概括，相對(duì)主題句來(lái)看，這種概括性更為明顯。

2.句子結(jié)構(gòu)較簡(jiǎn)單，多數(shù)都不采用長(zhǎng)、難句的形式。

3.段落中其他的句子必定是用來(lái)解釋、支撐或發(fā)展主題句所表述的主題思想。

理解一篇文章的主旨大意首先要學(xué)會(huì)尋找主題句。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，在一個(gè)段落中，主題句的位置有五種情

況：

1.主題句在段首：在有主題句的段落中，主題句位于段首的可能性最大。通常用演繹法撰寫(xiě)的段落,

往往遵循從一般到個(gè)別的寫(xiě)作程序，即以概述開(kāi)始，隨之詳細(xì)解說(shuō)。

2.主題句在段尾：與主題句位于段首的情況相反，主題句位于段尾時(shí)，通常用歸納法撰寫(xiě)。表述細(xì)

節(jié)的句子在前，概述性的句子在后，并以此而結(jié)尾。位于段尾的主題句往往陳述依據(jù)上文的細(xì)節(jié)的結(jié)論或

建議，歸納的要點(diǎn)或共性以及得出的觀察印象或結(jié)果。

3.主題句在段中：當(dāng)主題句位于段中，開(kāi)段的句子往往表述段落要論述的主題，而主題則由隨之引

出的句子來(lái)表達(dá)。此外，為闡明主題思想，在主題句之后，仍有一些句子陳述細(xì)節(jié)，或作合乎邏輯的引申。

這一類的段落包括三個(gè)層次：引題一一主題一一解釋，或提問(wèn)一回答一一解釋。

屯主題句在段首和段尾：在一些文段中，作者為了突出主題思想，并暗示讀者，這段文章中的意思比

其他的段更重要。采用了前后呼應(yīng)、兩次點(diǎn)題的寫(xiě)作乎法。值得注意的是，表述同一主題思想的兩個(gè)主題

句，在句型結(jié)構(gòu)和用詞方面往往不盡一致，而且在內(nèi)容上后者也不是前者的簡(jiǎn)單重復(fù)，多半有所引申或順

應(yīng)其向細(xì)節(jié)的鋪敘而有所側(cè)重.

5.主題句暗含在段中：不是所有的段落都有主題句。尤其是在多段文章中，主題句并沒(méi)有明確表述。

閱讀這樣的文段，主要通過(guò)對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的陳述或概括各段的主題思想，含蓄地表達(dá)文段的主題思想。對(duì)于無(wú)主

題句的文段，不可能采用辯論主題句的方法來(lái)獲取其主題思想。而應(yīng)正確理解作者提供的所有細(xì)節(jié)，包括

事實(shí)、觀點(diǎn)和事件，在大腦中形成初步印象。然后發(fā)揮自己的邏輯概括能力，概括作者提供的事實(shí)、觀點(diǎn)

和事件，綜合歸納成一般概念。這種概念不一定能達(dá)到主題句那樣完整，但只要切合文段的主題即可。

這類試題主要考查學(xué)生把握全文主題和理解中心思想的能力，也包括分析、歸納文章的段落大意、重

要睛節(jié)、人物特征、環(huán)境特點(diǎn)的能力。這種試題要求學(xué)生把握文章的總體，并真正理解主題和中心句；要

求能較好地運(yùn)用概念、判斷、歸納、推理等邏輯思維的方法，難度較大，屬于高層次題。在運(yùn)用多項(xiàng)選擇

法考查學(xué)生這方面的閱讀理解能力時(shí)，對(duì)大多數(shù)短文(段落)的主題(subject),中心思想(mabidea),標(biāo)題

(titlle)或作者的寫(xiě)作目的(pUI'[X)se)加以擬題。擬題大致有以下固定的提問(wèn)方式：

1.Thesubiectoftheparagraph(passage)is.

2.Theparagraph(passage)dealswith.

3.WhattopiciStreatedinthisparagraph(passage)?

4.Themainideaoftheparagraph(passage)is

5.Fromtheparagraph(passage)weknowthat

6.Theparagraph(passage)couldbeentitled

7.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitlefortheparagraph(passage)?

8.Whatistheauthor'smainpupose?

凡遇到這樣的一些問(wèn)題,我們都應(yīng)從理解主題思想去考慮答案是哪一個(gè)。

命題目的與解題技巧：本文的命題目的是考查考生概括主題的能力。做這類題的決竅就是找主題句。本文

共兩段，主題句為每段的第一句話。找出主題句，就不難抓住本文的主題思想。

【解析】本文介紹了美國(guó)人民在生活中尊重通過(guò)自己的勤奮勞動(dòng)而獲得成功的人這樣一種文化。

【答案】LA這是一道段落主旨題。從第一段內(nèi)容可知整段都圍繞第一句話展開(kāi)，因而第一句話是

這一段的主題句，說(shuō)明在美國(guó)手工工人很受尊敬。

2.B本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。第二段倒數(shù)第四句說(shuō)女主人自己做飯的原因是她們?yōu)樽约耗軇?dòng)手做飯而感到驕

傲。

3.D猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)sswashdishesfOrhisliving〃可推測(cè)出wait。ntable的意思“在飯店當(dāng)招

待員工

4.B本題是主旨題。這篇短文主要講述美國(guó)人對(duì)手工勞動(dòng)的態(tài)度。

【解析】本文是議論文，主要分析了男孩跟女孩在數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)方面差異形成的原因。

【答案】F1.D要求考生根據(jù)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推斷。文章第二段中第三句話說(shuō)明女孩們不愿選修這些理科

課程，似乎認(rèn)為這些很難。

2.C考查概括主旨大意的能力。文章第三段雖提到了biologicalreason,但這并不是作者要強(qiáng)調(diào)

的?！癇iologicalexplanationshavebeenofferedforthis,butthereareotherexplanationstoo.”

再看全文。作者主要探討的學(xué)校教育，甚至學(xué)前教育所造成的影響，屬于socialreasons.

3.B這是一道細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第五段在討論學(xué)校教育時(shí)說(shuō)“Theyaremorelikelytocallonboys

foranswersandtoalloWthemtotaketheleadinclassroomdiscussion",意思就是說(shuō)在班里起

帶頭作用。

4.A考查對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)的理解能力。第四段提到男女生的差異可能源于他們?cè)谟變簣@受到的教育。對(duì)

大數(shù)學(xué)家的調(diào)查提到“Factsshowthatoutstandingmathematiciansandscientistshavenothad

teacherswhosuppliedanswers”。

5.B考查對(duì)作者觀點(diǎn)的理解。文章第一句話說(shuō)"IIthereisnodiferenceingeneralintelligence

betweenboysandgrls../;表明作者承認(rèn)男女之間智力并無(wú)大的差異，導(dǎo)致他們后天在理科方面的差

距的直接原因不是智力，而是學(xué)校教育。之后作者不再提智力方面的差異，說(shuō)明作者承認(rèn)這個(gè)前提。

由上面兩個(gè)例題我們可以看出，文章的中心思想或主旨大意一定帶有綜合概括性。

B.Youshouldconsidercomfortinyourchoiceofschools.

C.Youshouldtryyourbesttoattendyourdreamschool.

D.Yourchoiceofschoolsshouldbebasedontheirfame.

答案：A指導(dǎo)：這是一道猜測(cè)作者寫(xiě)作意圖題。這篇短文主要講述了作者接到夢(mèng)想己久的大學(xué)錄取通知

書(shū)時(shí)心情非常激動(dòng)，但是由于高昂的學(xué)費(fèi)，使他望而卻步，不得不去一家免費(fèi)學(xué)校上學(xué)，在這里作者感到

比自己夢(mèng)想的學(xué)校還要好，所以作者認(rèn)為第二志愿的學(xué)校可能最適合自己。
