【主旨大意题解题技巧】
主旨大意题主要是测试考生对一篇文章或一段文字的深层理解程度及在速读中准确把握文章主旨大意的能力。一般针对某一语段或某一语篇的主题标题或目的设题。
常见的设题方式有:
1 标题类常见的标题型题干
1)The best title/ headline for this passage might be_____________.
2)The text (passage) could be entitled ______________.
3)What is the best title for the passage?
4)Which of the following would be suitable as a title for the passage?
2 大意类常见的主题型题干
5) This passage chiefly deals with____________.
6) What‘s the topic of the article?
7) What is the subject discussed in the text?
8) With what topic is the passage chiefly concerned?
3 目的主旨大意题
The author‘s main purpose in writing the passage is______. The passage is meant to _____ The purpose of this article is _______
这类题通常围绕一个中心思想展开。不少文章一开头便展示出文章的中心思想。第一段常常是内容的梗概，同时又表达了中心思想，但是不少文章的中心思想贯穿全文，并没有用一句话明确表达出来。这就要求学生学会归纳概括。每个段落往往也由一个主题句或几个陈述句构成，它们在句中的位置不同，有时在开头,首先点明本段大意; 有时在结尾, 总结本段大意。
做这类题，首先要找出文章的主题句。找出文章的主题句，也就明确了文章要讲什么，再通过速读全文，就可以把握文章的中心思想了。另外在许多文段中，没有可以概括全段意义的主题句，必须根据文章中所提供的事实细节，进行全面分析，然后归纳成一般概念。但必须注意，既不能以偏概全，也不能在概括时过于宽泛，要恰如其分。
A.主题句呈现的形式
1?文首开门见山, 提出主题, 随之用细节来解释, 支撑或发展主题句所表达的主题思想. 最常见的演绎法写作方式. 例1.The panda is a popular animal. Stories about the panda in the Washington Zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. Stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops.
例2.Today the problem of environment has become more and more serious. The world population is rising, so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.
2).文尾?在表述细节后, 归纳要点, 印象, 结论建议或结果, 以概括主题. 这是英语中最常见的归纳法写作方式
3).文中通常前面只提出问题， 文中的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出, 而后又作进一步的解释, 支撑或发展.
例4.Nothing is as useful as a flashlight in a dark night if a tire goes flat. Few inventions are so helpful to a child who is afraid of the dark. In fact, the modern flashlight brings light to many dark situations. Finding something in the back of a closet is easy with a flashlight in hand a camper also needs one after the light of the campfire has been out.
4).首尾呼应?为突出主题, 作者先提出主题, 结尾时再次点出主题, 这种首尾呼应的'写作方式较为多见. 但前后表述主题的句子不是简单的重复, 后面的表述往往有进一步的引申或发展的意味。
例5.?首段?Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten by snakes, “ It was seeing people with snakes bites that led me to the career.“she said„
?尾段?“The sad story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes.‖Shu said.
5).无主题句?即主题句隐含在全文中, 没有明确的主题句. 必须根据文篇中所提供的事实细节?进行全面考虑?综合分析?然后找出共同的东西?归纳成一般概念。必须注意的是?既不能以偏概全?也不能在概括时过于宽泛?要恰如其分。
例6.Joshua Bingham studied 4 years at the University of Paris and decided to leave his graation. He transferred to the University of Berlin and graated with honors. Harvard Law School and, later, Boston College provided him with an excellent legal background. He is presently a corporation lawyer in Miami, Florida.
Q: What is the main idea of the passage? ????
A. How Joshua Bingham became a lawyer. B. Bingham is a diligent student.
C. Joshua Bingham received an excellent ecation. D. A good lawyer needs good ecation.
[分析]此文没有主题句。全篇共四句?只陈述了四个细节(detail)性的事实。因此就答案本身看?个个都对。读者只能将所有的details综合起来?进行逻辑推理?才能构成一个没有言明的主题思想(unstated main idea)。由于文中主要涉及了Joshua Bingham接受教育的情况?即作者想告诉我们的是?Joshua Bingham接受过良好的教育?所以答案是 ?
除了以上主题句呈现的常见形式外还要注意标志词 文章或段落的主题句常常会出现在一些标志性的提示后。如?on the whole, as a result, in short, therefore, thus„..I agree with the opinion that„.;Given all these points above, I would support the idea that„.; For all the reasons mentioned above, I would prefer„.

由于大纲要求读懂议论文和说明文，而真正的考研当中大概95%都是议论文，而考议论文的话，最重要的就是考议论文最具有标志性的东西，也就是说议论文主要考的就是论点和论据，那论点表现在题目上最有标志性的就是主旨大意题。很多同学反应文章的主旨比较难抓，那我从文章的结构入手，旨在给学生梳理清楚!
【英语阅读题主旨大意题解题技巧】
(一)主旨大意题的命题规律
1.从考查的对象上划分，主旨大意题可分为两种：
(1)篇章主旨：针对全文的主题进行提问。主题句出现在首段的居多，其次是末段或为几段主题的综合。
(2)段落主旨：针对某一段或几段的主题提问。主题句可能是段落的首句、末句，也可能不在此(几)句，需要从上下文中寻找或总结。
2.从考查的内容上划分，还可分为主题类(内容)(考查文章或段落的主旨大意)、目的类(考查文章或段落的写作目的)和标题类(要求考生选出文章的最佳标题)三种。
主旨大意题经常用main idea, main point, key point, maintopic, mainly discuss, mainly explain, is mainly about; purpose; best title等词语来表达。
(二)主旨大意题的常考点
1.段首、段尾句常考：段首、段尾句一般表达了文章的.中心思想，或者就是该段的主题句，对全文或全段起着提纲挈领的作用。
2.语义转折处常考：尤其是段首的语义转折，其后面往往是作者真实的写作目的或基本观点，即文章的中心思想所在。
3.因果句常考：因果句通常可以表现出作者的意图、观点甚至全文的主题，因此成为考点。
(三)主旨大意题的7招技巧
一篇文章的主旨往往会在文章的第一段或开头部分找到。作者会通过“首段提问法”、“转移重心法”、“独句段开头”、“类比开头”、“事例开头法”等约定俗称的方式暗示或引入主题。因此，解答主旨题时，大家要首先重点研读文章第一段和第二段的段首句。
1. 首段提问法
如果文章第一段的第一句话、最后一句话或者第二段第一句是一个疑问句，那么本文的主旨就很可能是对该问题的一个解答。在这里同学一定要注意的一点就是并列问句不是主旨。
2. 喜新厌旧类
如果文章第一段先描述一件事情，然后在本段或第二段首句出现转折词，进而表述另一件事情，那么本文主旨就是转折词之后的另一件事。这类题目多会考的一种题型是写作意图题。
3. 事例开头类
如果文章开头引用、叙述个人经历、讲述故事、描写一起事故等方式举例。其目的显然是要通过举例的方法引出文章主题。通常情况下，这类文章的主题都会在首段末句或第二段的首句。
4. 类比开头法
如果一篇文章开头或第一段涉及一项内容A，随后或者第二段开头用到“Now the same thing is happening to B”等表示类比的句型，那么，这时可以确定本文主旨是B内容。
5. 独句段法
如果一篇文章的第一段是一句话，那么本文的主旨就是本句话所表达的内容。
6. 大众观点法
如果作者在文章的开头引用大众的或他人的观点，其目的显然是要通过大众或他人引出自己的观点。通常情况下，这类文章的主题会在表述大众观点或他人观点的句子之后。
7. 各段分述法
有些文章的第一段可能并没有采用上述方法来引入主题，这时可以考虑本篇文章是否采用了“各段分述，围绕主题”的方法。
总而言之，主旨类题在考研英语阅读理解中占据着相当重要的位置，能否正确理解文章主旨，对于作对阅读题具有绝对的指导性意义。而且，尤为关键的是，掌握了文章的主旨，对于其他题目的选择有着相当强的指导作用。

高考英语阅读:主旨大意题的解题技巧
马上就要高考了，我整理了一些比较有针对性的高考英语复习技巧资料给大家参考，希望可以帮助同学们提高自身综合英语能力，战胜高考。
一、主旨大意题的命题形式
主旨大意题旨在考查考生把握全文主题和理解中心思想的能力，亦即考查考生的归纳概括能力。这类试题包括要求考生选出短文的标题(title, headline)、短文或段落的主题(subject)、中心思想(main idea)、作者的写作目的(purpose或为传递信息、或为愉悦读者、或为阐述某一道理)等。这类题的设问方式主要有：
(1)The subject of the passage/paragraph is ______.
(2)The main idea of the passage/paragraph is______.
(3)The text is mainly about ______.
(4)The passage mainly centers on ______.
(5)The passage mainly tells about ______.
(6)What is the subject discussed in the text?
(7)What is the main idea of this passage?
(8)What is the passage mainly about?
(9)What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
(10)What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?
(11)Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
(12)Which title best gives the idea of the passage?
(13)What would be the best title for the text?
(14)What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
(15)The best headlines for this newspaper article would be______
(16)The main purpose of announcing the above events is to give information about ______.
(17)The writer's purpose in writing this story is ______.
(18)What is the author's main purpose?
(19)What does the writer really want to tell us in this passage?
(20)The writer wrote the story in order to______.
(21)What is the advice given in the text / passage / article?
二、寻找主题句的方法
正确的解答这类题目的关键是准确地找出文章的主题句。一般来说，一篇文章常常会围绕着一个中心思想或一个主要话题展开，而这个话题又常常通过一个能比较全面地覆盖或概括文章意思的句子，即所谓的“主题句”来体现。那么，主题句通常在哪里呢?(1)主题句在文首;(2)主题句在文中;(3)主题句在文末;(4)主题句以首尾呼应的形式出现在文首和文末。
1. 主题句在文首
这类文章写法上的特点是：文章的第一句起着点题的作用，概括了文章的主要内容或信息，下文接着对主题句所涉及的话题进行具体的`阐述。如：(全国高考题)
A JINTAN, JIANGSU: The 20 students — 18 boys and 2 girls —had a thousand reasons to beproud of themselves. They had just climbed their way to the top rung(阶梯)out of 4 millionstudents taking part in the Fifth National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest (竞赛)onTuesday evening.
The 20 gold medal winners are all primary and middle school students under the age of 14.
"Many of the problems are of college level and these pupils can figure them out. It is justunbelievable!" said a teacher from Guangdong province.
Named after China's most famous mathematician, Hua Luogeng, the contest started in 1986,one year after his death. In less than 10 years, it has been recognized by the State EcationCommission(国家教委) 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 20 pupils who have won gold medals in the contest
D. the 5th National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest
【分析】这是一篇报道，文章的第一段只有两句话：“20个学生(2女18男)有充分的理由为自己感到自豪，因为他们夺得了第五届华罗庚杯数学竞赛的金奖，是4百万参赛学生中的佼佼者”，下文接着对竞赛的有关情况进行报道，因此，第一段实际上就是这篇报道的主题句。A、B、C分别只包含了报道的部分信息，显然不合题意;D选项与主题句的意思完全一致，因此是正确答案。
2. 主题句在文中
这类文章写法上的特点是：开始部分是引题，接着是点题，最后是对主题进行叙述，主题句常常起着承上启下的作用。如：(全国高考题)
Fat on human beings is distributed in different ways.Some fat people have a large stomach and nowaistline—which makes them look round, rather likeapples. Others are fatter below the waist, whichmakes them appear pear-shaped.
There are two types of fat: external fat (fat underthe skin) and internal fat (fat inside the body wall). Doctors, who have been examining therelationship between health and fatness, have found that the 'pears' have less internal fat, butthe 'apples' have more internal fat than external fat. This seems to be what causes the healthproblems.
The best treatment for fatness is to rece the internal fat. But unfortunately it seems thatdieting (节食) simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shapedperson into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no known way of recing the internalrather than external fat.
『肆』 英语阅读理解主旨大意常见的设问方式
主题句
段落的主题通常由被称之为主题句（topic sentence）的句子来表示。主题句有两个功能：一是介绍段落的主题（topic）；二是阐述控制概念（Controlling Idea），控制概念用以段落中句子讨论的内容。
主题句通常是一段的第一句或末尾一句，偶尔在一段中间。我们在阅读非故事性文章如科普文章的时候，主题句尤其明显。有的文章五明显的主题句，主题句隐含在段意之中。
1. 主题句位于段首
主题句位于段是首由作者先立论，后摆事实讲道理的写作手法形成的。这种手段称为演绎型段落。据有关数据表明，在英语议论文或说明文中，有60%～90%的主题句是段落的第一句。这样的段落模式可用倒三角（▽）来表示。
（1）寻找主题句
有些段落，有明显的引出细节的信息词，常见的信息词有：for example, an example of, the most important example, first, second, next, then, last, to begin with, also, besides that等。
在阅读中，应尽量利用上述信息词确定主题句的位置。从该段落中的for example 可以断定，第一句是主题句。如果无明显的信息词，可先假设第一句为主题句，在第二句前面添加一个for example，看看第二句是否可以支撑第一句话，如果第二句不能支撑第一句话，便在其他地方找出主题句。
（2）选择答案先彻底弄懂主题句的句意，然后阅读ABCD四个选项，选择与主题句句意相吻合的答案，如主题句的再现，主题句句意的复述或推论等，排除与主题句句意无关的答案，如支撑细节和文章中未阐述的事实等。
2. 主题句位于句末
主题句位于句末是作者采用了先摆事实，后作结论的手法。这种段落称作归纳型段落。这种段落的模式可用正三角（△）来表示。
3. 主题句位于段落的中间
主题句偶尔也会在段落的中间，但不一定就在正中间。有时，第一句并非主题句，而是承上启下的过渡句。在这种情况下，第二句便成了主题句。此外，主题句也可能是段落的倒数第二句。这种段落模式可用菱形（◇）来表示。这种图形可看作是△和▽的合二为一。这种段落是从支撑细节开始，发展到结论（出现主题句）。当主题句出现后，又进一步用细节支持说明，其安排程序是：次要——主要——次要。
4. 主题句隐含在段落之中
有些段落没有明显的主题句，其中心思想包含在各个句子中，这就要求读者根据已知细节，归纳出段落的中心思想。这种段落模式可用正方形（□）来表示。
三、中心思想
略读（skimming）是概括和归纳段落的中心思想的手段。略读是指人们以可能达到的最快速度所做的阅读。略读的技巧如下：
1. 顺行快速移动眼睛，千万不要停顿或复视。
2. 把注意力集中在关键词上。关键词都是实词，如名词、形容词、数词、动词、和副词。介词、冠词、连接词、语气词、代词（一般性代词）以及助动词和情态动词都不属于关键词。
3. 将关键词扩大为能够表达概念的词组，即语意群，按语意群进行阅读。
4. 遇到生词尽量猜。猜不出的生词，可跳过去。
5. 对关键词进行数量上的加工，筛选出最能表达作者意图的关键词及其概念。然后对这些概念进行加工，即对已产生的概念重新在头脑中编码，以确定作者在文章中反映的真正意图（中心思想）。
6. 初次练习时，可将关键词划出来。待读完一遍之后，回过头来将所划的关键词从头再看一遍。练习一段时间以后，不要再把关键词划出来，在阅读过程中尽量用脑子记下来。
四、标题
标题是段落中心思想的精炼表达形式。在阅读中，不仅要求读者能够通过已知的信息概括出段落的中心思想，而且还要对概括出的中心思想加以提炼，拟定出段落标题。在测试中要求能迅速而准确地选出标题。
主题句有两个功能：介绍主题（topic）阐述控制概念（Controlling Idea）。主题句的主题实际上就是段落的主题。所以，有明确主题句的段落标题的拟定方式是：以表示主题的词为核心，与表示控制概念的词按一定的语法浓缩为能高度概括主题句句意或中心思想的词组。
例1 Smoking cigarettes can be an expensive habit.
主题：Smoking cigarettes
控制概念：can be an expensive habit
标题：The Expensive Habit of Smoking
例2 Coffee is an universal beverage（饮料）that is served in different ways around the world.
主题：Coffee
控制概念：is a universal beverage that is served in different ways around the world
标题：Coffee Around the world
拟定标题，不一定完全机械地套用上述的公式，方法可灵活多样。然而，不论采用何种方法，有一条原则应该遵

高中英语阅读理解之主旨大意的解题技巧
典例剖析1.[2015·江苏高考，C篇]Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It's very likely that you'll want to have volunteers to help with the organization's activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let's begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people's wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it's important to me.”) to an external factor (e.g. ，“I volunteer because I'm required to do so.”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have concted followup studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on indivial differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers' expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an indivial begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like Tshirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity.”
QWhat is the best title of the passage?
A.How to Get People to Volunteer
B.How to Study Volunteer Behaviors

This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy. I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.

典例剖析[2015·浙江高考，C篇]If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
...
QWhat does “it”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?
A.The night. B.The moon.
C.The sky. D.The planet.
[答案]A指代判断题。根据第一段中的“even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night: We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with night.”可知，事实上，虽然我们并不承认自己是白昼生物，但很多时候我们总是用光来照亮夜晚，故此处it指代前面的“the night”。故选A项。
2.[2015·湖南高考，A篇]...
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.
——JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
QThe underlined word “they” in the third letter refers to ________.
A.accidents B.vehicles
C.pedestrians D.cyclists
[答案]D指代判断题。根据第三封信第一段第一句的主语“Cyclists”可知，该信主要是对骑自行车者的抱怨和建议;结合画线词所在句中的“they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident”可知，骑自行车者应该注册登记并购买保险，这样当他们撞上行人或车辆，引发事故时，可以被查出，承担责任。由此可推知，“they”指代的是“cyclists”。故D项正确。
3.[2015·福建高考，B篇]...
Papa, as a son of a dirtpoor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for ecation was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There's so much to learn，” he'd say. “Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an ecation.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
QThe underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
A.one new thing B.a request
C.the news D.some comment
[答案]C指代判断题。根据画线词前面的“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant”可知，吃晚饭的时候，作者一家人会谈论这一天所发生的新闻，不管这些事是多么的无关紧要。由此可推知，“it”指代的是这句话中的“the news”。故答案选C。
技能演练Have you heard of the term “tweenager” ? It's a new word being used in the UK to describe children between the ages of about 10 and 12. Why are the media suddenly referring to kids in this way?
Well, more and more companies are beginning to create procts and services for tweenagers. The Disney company sells the Hannah Montana television show, music, films and procts to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and cellphones, to fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a tweenage audience. So, it's all about sales, which tells us tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they have ever had before.

『陆』 怎样做好高考英语阅读理解的主旨大意题
主旨大意题是高考阅读理解的主要题型之一， 旨在考查考生对锻炼大意或者文章中心思想的把握和归纳能力。
解题前先要了解主旨大意题的分类。
大部分情况下，主旨大意题可分为两种，①篇章主旨：针对全文的主题进行提问。主题句出现在首段的居多，其次是末段。②段落主旨：针对某一段或几段的主题提问。主题句可能是段落的首句、末句，也可能需要从上下文中寻找或总结。
所以对于说明文和论述文这2中问题，如果问篇章主旨的话，解题重点在于看首段；段落主旨重点在于看该段首句。
而如果是记叙文，就需要通读全文，看懂全文在讲什么？然后进行回答。
最后必须了解关注主旨大意题干扰项的特点。我们了解干扰项的特点,有助于迅速、果断地排除这些干扰项,从而确定正确的答案.通常情况下,干扰项具有如下五个特点：
1.主题变大.干扰项所归纳、概括的范围变大,超过文章实际所提及的内容.
2.断章取义.干扰项常以文章中的个别信息或个别字眼作为选项的设计内容,或者以次要的事实或细节充当全文的主要观点.
3.以偏概全.干扰项只表述了文章的部分内容,也就是文章的局部信息.
4.无中生有,似是而非.有的干扰项中的关键词语好似在文章中谈到了,但认真分析之后会发现这类干扰项的内容与文章的内容毫无联系.
5.张冠李戴.命题者有意地把属于A的特征放在B的身上,构成一个干扰项.我们不注意的情况下,会造成错选答案.
『柒』 英语阅读理解的题型
英语阅读理解的题型
作为高考英语试卷中题量最大、分值最多、难度最高的题型，高考英语阅读理解题在整个高中英语中至关重要。下面我整理了高考英语阅读理解的常见题型以及解题方法，大家一起来看一下吧!
【高考英语阅读理解常见题型及解题方法】
一、主旨大意题
主旨大意题主要考查学生对所读材料(或所读材料片断)中心思想的概括。做这类题时，考生应通读全文，把握文章大意或中心思想，同时注意文章的主题句，因为主题句表达中心思想，其他句子均围绕主题句进行展开。主题句通常位于文章第一段首句、第一段末句或全文末句等地方，但位于段落中间(通常是第一段或最后一段的中间)也是完全可能的。主旨大意题的考查形式很多，如概括标题、主题、段意、中心思想等。请看浙江卷中的一个段落：
In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.
◎What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The writer’s unhappy school life
B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money
C. The writer’s experience as a full-time worker
D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant
原文共有五个自然段，上面摘录的只是文章的第1个自然段，但是如果考生训练有素的话，只要读完这个段落就可猜出此题的答案了。因为文章第一句说In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget，接着作者用but引出一个新的情况(即主题句)：none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. 再接下来又说：The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible. 聪明的读者至此应该可以猜测到，下面的几个段落肯定是介绍这个apple plant 的work是如何的hard，它的pay是如何的poor，它的working conditions 是如何的terrible 等。比较四个选项，只有选项D所表述内容合乎上面的分析，故选D。
二、事实细节题
顾名思义，事实细节题即指针对文章的某个事实或细节而设置的试题。事实细节题的命题方法很多，如可能是对某个细节用同义结构转换后进行考查、也可能是将文章中的几个细节(通常是四个)放在一起要求考生判断是非(选出正确的一项或选出错误的一项)或对几个细节进行排序等。解答这类试题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干或选项中的线索词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案(此时要特别注意一些常见的同义转换或简单换算)。请看安徽卷中的一道事实细节题：
Tuition Fees(学费)
Tuition fees are different from department to department, generally from $5,000 to $6,000 a year. For further information: [email protected]
Accommodation(住宿)
You can have a room in a 4-bedrcom flat, which will cost about $100 a month with other regular living costs of about $150 a month for one person. For further information: [email protected]
◎You have to pay at least ______ a year if you study at the University of Waikato.
A. $5,250 B. $8,000 C. $9,000 D. $11,000
根据Tuition fees一节的内容可知，一年的学费最低为5,000美元，再根据Accommodation(住宿)一节可知，除学费外，还有住宿费(每月100美元)和生活费(每月150美元)，即一年大约共3,000美元，所以在WaiKato大学读书一年至少要花费5,000+3,000=8,000美元，故答案为B。
三、代词指代题
这类题要求考生根据一定的上下文推测代词的指代意义，它主要考查考生在一定语境中对上下文逻辑关系的正确理解。做这类题时，考生不仅要读懂相关句子的句意，理顺相关句子的逻辑关系，而且还要学会合理变通，尤其要学会变通理解其中的`同义表达。请看天津卷中的一个片断和一个道词义猜测题：
Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this. Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society. The act of discovery, even in the relatively predictable(可以预见的) sense that it occurs in everyday learning, involves(涉及) a “sudden insight” which changes the problem situation into a solution situation. As we have seen, everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past, which is involved in the solution.
◎What does the underlined word “this” refer to?
A. Great contributions to the society.
B. Long-time study of the subject matter.
C. Various statements about problem solving.
D. Complete devotion to artistic creation.
此题答案选B。答案的直接依据是文章中的Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this 这两句话。从句意和句子结构上看，this在此指代的应是they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time，比较四个选项，只有B与之吻合，因为选项中的long-time与原文中的over fairly long periods of time属同义表达，选项中的study of the subject matter 与原文中的devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem属同义表达。
四、词义猜测题
即要求考生根据一定的上下文猜测生词的词义。它是高考英语阅读理解中的一个难点，同学们应引起充分重视。猜测生词词义的方法很多，常用的有同义解释法、因果推断法、前后对比法、基本构词法、语境理解法、举例说明法、常识背景法、类属分析法等。请看安徽卷中一道词义猜测题：
More American people take their troubles with them on holiday, according to a new survey. Although 40 percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure(压力) from work, almost all said they worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.
◎The underlined word “survey” in the first paragraph most probably means ______.
A. research B. review C. exhibition D. examination
此题答案选A。比较四个选项，同时结合常识，文中所提到的事实和数据应该是“调查和研究”得出的(其他几个选项可排除)。
五、推理判断题
即要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。此时应特别注意：当问及作者的看法、意图与态度时，不要误认为是在问“你”(考生)的想法，而是作者本人在字里行间所表述的观点。请看全国卷中的一个段落：
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
◎By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______.
A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. express her liking for the roses
D. express her care for the tomatoes
本文大意讲的是作者在春天偶然栽种的一棵西红柿长成后非常大，影响到园中的玫瑰花，作者在享受西红柿美味的同时，又难以割舍珍贵的玫瑰花，面对两种选择，作者举棋不定。
此题要求考生推测作者说the prize so dearly won的意图，属推理判断题。此题答案选A，其推理依据主要有以下几点：一是作者在第1句用了 the task一词，将摘西红柿看成是一项“任务”;二是作者在三个地方用了have to，表示摘西红柿不容易;三是作者还用了stand on my head, reach down and under…等夸张性用词，充分说明了摘西红柿的难度。比较四个选项，显然只有选项A最佳。
;『捌』 英语阅读的常见题型
英语阅读的常见题型
英语阅读的常见题型都有哪些呢，大家是否了解过？以下是我为大家整理的关于英语阅读的常见题型，希望大家喜欢！
一、主旨大意题
阅读理解是对整个文章的目的、意图、观点、立场、态度以及内在的逻辑关系的理解，而不是断章取义的一孔之见，所以统览全篇和问题是很有必要的，这些问题会给你提供信息
或暗示文章中的一些重要细节。在统览全篇的同时要注意抓住文章的中心大意，捕捉主题 句，因为一些显性的答案是可以从主题句中直接回答，而隐性的答案则是要通过对全篇的理解才能得出。主题句一般具有以下特征：
1、概括全段思想。
2、一般位于段首、段尾或位于段中，它通常是用单词、短语表达的。当然，有些短语没有完整的主题句，其主题只好依据整篇文章及上下文的语境，不是某句话的表面意思。
3、解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(main idea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、科学专业知识进行逻辑思维、推理、判断，从而获取文章中内隐的信息。
主旨题常见的命题形式：
(1) The main idea of this text may be…….
(2) This passage is mainly about…….
(3) The author's purpose in writing this text…….
(4) Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
(5) What’s the
topic of the text?
(6) The passage gives us is…...
二、推断题
这种题目有一定难度，往往不能直接从文中找到答案，而必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找到答案。有时甚至还得联系作者的态度、观点、意图、语气等弦外之音、文外之意加以推理，这些题目一般都是深层意义的题目，他们没有明示，大多数属于模糊性的，甚至是模棱两可。解答这类题时，要求同学予以高度重视注意从话题出发，充分运用自己的逻辑思维能力，从文章的内在含义和字里行间中，从作者的态度和取向中获取信息，做出正确的`判断，应特别注意以下特征。
1、吃透文章的表层意思，是推理的前提和基础;
2、推理的根据来自于上下文;
3、不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;
4、在提问中常用的词有suggest,mean,infer(推断),from the fact,indicate(暗示) conclusion，probably，likely，reason，because，according to"等。
推断题常有的命题形式：
(1) It can be known from the text that ….
(2) From the text we know that ….
(3) The story implies that ….
(4) The paragraph following the passage will most probably be ….
(5) The writer suggests that….
三、事实细节题
在阅读理解题中，又有相当一部分属于事实或细节题，下面仅就这类题的正确解法作简要说明。首先是直接理解性题目，这种题目比较简单，只要通读全文，了解文中所叙述的重要事实或细节，就可以解答出来，有的甚至可以从文章的原句中直接找到答案;另外还有一些题目要求对文中个别难词、关键词、词组或句子作出解释或需要对有关的上下文提供的语境和信息、甚至对整篇文章的内容建立准确、立体的理解和判断。
四、猜测词意题
这类问题主要考察学生两方面能力。根据上下文推测和判断生词、短语或句子在阅读材料中的含义，即利用我们所熟悉的词或短语和上下文中的已知部分进行逻辑上的推理，有时还需依靠常识和经验。猜词的活动是阅读中经常遇到的，阅读理解题目中的作为干扰项出现的错误选项，一般多是学生比较熟悉、想当然的词典意义，或者适应学生习惯的汉语思维方式;而正确的含义往往不只是词典上的，而是要通过上下文内容的提示才能确定的，解这类题时应注意以下特点：
1、注意一些过渡词语，如that is, this is, in other words等，它们直接引出了同义解释;
2、注意连接词及被猜测的词前后的因果，让步，递进，转折，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。
3、注意同义词、近义词、反义词、同位语、定语从句，相似或相反的结构等。
4、对于句中首字母或全部是大写的单词,应该猜出可能是专有名词(人名、地名、组织等)，因此拼读有时是最合适的方法。
总之我们要根据不同体裁、不同类型的阅读文章，采用不同的答题技巧，仔细斟酌核对答案。如果时间允许，再将原文读一遍;用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。
最后，当试题有一定难度或题量偏大时，考生往往会在阅读理解题上花费太多的时间，这样固然能提高该部分的准确度，得分多一点儿，但用时太多势必挤压其他题目的必要时间，比如作文，只得草草收工，甚至字迹不清，把本能得到的分又丢掉了，实在不该。在给定的时间内，应对各个题目的耗时应有一个战略上的把握。毕竟，英语考试是一个全方位的综合性考量。
;『玖』 英语阅读理解主旨大意解题技巧
英语阅读理解主旨大意解题技巧
主旨大意题是高考阅读理解的主要题型之一， 旨在考查考生对锻炼大意或者文章中心思想的把握和归纳能力。此类题数量较大，在15个题中约占3-4个。下面就跟着我一起来详细了解一下主旨大意题的解题技巧吧!
◆主旨大意题的分类
⑴从考查对象上划分，主旨大意题可分为两种
①篇章主旨：针对全文的主题进行提问。主题句出现在首段的居多，其次是末段或为几段主题的综
②段落主旨：针对某一段或几段的主题提问。主题句可能是段落的首句、末句，也可能需要从上下文中寻找或总结。
⑵从考查内容上划分，主旨大意题可分为三种
①主题类(内容)，考查文章或段落的主旨大意;
②目的类，考查文章或段落的写作目的;
③标题类，要求考生选出文章的最佳标题。
◆设问特点：
1. 考查全文主旨或段落大意。
2. 正确选项概况范围大小恰当，主旨判断准确。
3. 错误选项的特点常常是太大、太窄或者偏离主题，主观臆断。
4. 常以main idea, best idea, subject, mainly discuss 等词提问。
◆常考问题：
1). 中心思想类
The main point /idea of the passage is…
The passage is mai nly about…
The passage mainly discusses…
The last but one paragraph is chiefly concerned with…?
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
2).标题类
Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
The best title for the passage would be …
3).目的类
The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to …
The passage is meant to ….
In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to…
【技巧点拨】
1. 寻找主题句:
抓住段落或文章主题的捷径之一就是在段落或文章中寻找主题句。主题句是指能表达或概况段落主题或文章主要内容的句子， 通常是一个简洁、完整、具有概况性的句子，较多出现在说明文和议论文中，而其他句子则围绕着主题句展开进行说明解释或扩展。
主题句在文中的位置:
1)开门见山：提出主题----细节支撑阐明主题
2)段末点睛：细节描述----归纳要点---概括主题
3)段中点旨：细节描述---归纳主题---进一步解释
4)无主题句:考生需根据文章中所叙述的事实或提供的线索来概括和总结文章的大意
2. 捕捉关键词：
略读是概括和归纳文章或段落大意的基本方法。略读时要快，把注意力集中在关键词(即实词)上，非关键词(即虚词)则一带而过。注意出现频率高的词可能是蕴涵中心思想的关键词，分析归纳筛选出最能表达主旨或这这意图 的`关键词，继而确定文章的主旨大意。
3. 仔细推敲选项：
1)主旨大意题的干扰项的特点有：
①以偏概全：只阐述了文章的部分内容，也就是文章的局部信息;
②无中生有或似是而非：有的干扰项中的关键词语好像在文章中谈到了，但认真分析之后你会发现这类干扰项的内容与文章的内容毫无联系。
③主题扩大：归纳概括的范围过大，超过文章实际讨论的内容;
④张冠李戴：命题者有意地把属于A的特征放在B的身上，构成一个干扰项。在我们不注意的情况下，会造成错选答案。
2)主旨大意题的正确选项特征
①含有抽象名词和概括性词语的选项往往是正确答案;
②较全面、有针对性地表达文章中心思想的选项一般是答案项。
