主旨大意题解题技巧
主旨大意题在高考阅读理解中出现的频率很高,因为这类题主要考查考生能否通过理解、分析全文,区分主要信息和次要信息,进而总结归纳文章或段落的大意。测试点主要体现在对文章的主题、目的、中心思想的把握以及标题的选择。
这类题型常见的提问方式有:
Whats the main idea of the passage?
What does the passage mainly discuss?
The topic of Paragraph is .
Which of the following best states the theme of the passage?
A good/suitable title for this passage would be .
我们知道:文章的主旨是通过段落来表达的,而段落的大意主要由主题句来体现,所以段落的主题句是构成文章中心思想的有机组成部分。因此,识别各段落的主题句并由此归纳出文章的中心思想是解答该类题的关键。由于文章内容和体裁的不同,作者的写作手法也不尽相同,主题句在段落中出现的位置也不固定。一般说来,采用归纳法的段落,细节表述在前,归纳概括在后,主题句在段尾;采用演绎法的段落,先提出观点,后演绎例证,由一般到特殊,主题句出现在段首;若作者采用由特殊 一般 特殊的方式,主题句可能出现在段落的中间。有时,作者没有写出明显的主题句,我们要学会根据段落的内容去概括出主题句,进而归纳出文章的主题。
做这类题时常用略读法。快速阅读文章找出各个段落的主题句。把各个段落的主题句联系起来着眼于全文结构安排,了解文章的重心,就能概括出文章的中心。文章的标题是中心思想最精炼的表达形式,选择的标题意义范围要能涵盖全文,不能太大也不能太小。命题者在出这类题时,常常利用生活常识编造干扰项,把文中的细节当主旨,利用局部信息编造干扰项,编制超出文章范围的标题或不能涵盖文章中心意义的标题来考查考生的理解程度,考生要特别留意。对选择标题类题,若遇到拿不太准的情况时,可以自己思考一下:如果是我写这个题目,我会怎样写?。
看看下面两个例题:
(05 广东卷 B 篇)
Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise.Leadership means power,
commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement.Unlike vitamin C, leadership
skills can't be easily swallowed down.They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born.They learn their skills in their everyday lives.But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit.Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance
from others is to treat them like heroes.Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world.It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that's never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often
hurts rather than helps.Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees.
Catch people doing something right! he says.Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks. The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,
says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz, Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes (降落伞) beforehand.
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait(责任编辑:www.360gaokao.com)
