一、 主旨大意題
這類題在設題時常會用到title, subject, main idea, topic, theme等詞。
1.歸納標題題
特點：短小精悍，一般多為一個短語;涵蓋性強，一般能覆蓋全文意思;精確性強，表達範圍要恰當，不能隨意改變語意程度或色彩。常見命題形式有：
What’s the best title for the text?
The best title for this passage is ___.
Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
真題範例
Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (災禍).
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions (反應) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites (食慾). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red "Buy Now" button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.
63. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?
A. Colors and Human Beings
B. The Cultural Meaning of Color

2. 概括大意題
包括尋找段落大意(topic)和文章中心思想(main idea)，常見命題形式有：

★範例 Joshua Bingham studied 4 years at the University of Paris and decided to leave his graduation. He transferred to the University of Berlin and graduated 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 education.
D. A good lawyer needs good education.
答案：C
解題思路:此文沒有主題句。全篇共四句，只陳述了四個細節(detail)性的事實。因此就答案本身看，個個都對。讀者只能將所有的details綜合起來，進行邏輯推理，才能構成一個沒有言明的主題思想。由於文中主要涉及了Joshua Bingham接受教育的情況，即作者想告訴我們的是：Joshua Bingham接受過良好的教育，所以答案是 C。
解題技巧
閱讀理解文章多是議論文和說明文，這兩種文體的.結構可歸納為：提出問題——論述問題——得出結論或者闡明觀點。對於這類文章，抓主題句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭或結尾。主題句具有簡潔性、概括性的特點。主題句在文章中的位置主要有以下幾種情況。
位於段首：一般而言，以演繹法撰寫的文章，主題句往往在文章的開頭，即先點出主題，然後圍繞這一主題作具體的陳述。判斷第一句是否為主題句，可具體分析段落的首句與第二，三句的關係;如果從第二句就開始對第一句進行說明，論述或描述，那第一句就是主題句。有些段落，在主題句後面有明顯引出細節的訊號詞，如for example, an example of; first, second, next, last, finally; to begin with, also, besides; one, the other; some, others等。在閱讀中應儘量利用上述訊號詞來確定主題句的位置。
位於段尾：有些文章會在開頭列舉事實, 然後通過論證闡述作者的核心論點。因此，如果第一句話不是概括性的或綜合性的話，最好快速讀一讀段落的最後一個句子，看看它是否具備主題句的特徵。如果它具備主題句的特徵，段落的主題思想就很容易確定了。一般說來，當一種觀點不易向人解釋清楚或不易被人接受時，主題句便會到段落的末尾才出現。學生可以充分利用引出結論的訊號詞。如so，therefore，thus，consequently;in conclusion，in short;in a word, to sum up等來確定主題句的位置在段尾。當無明顯的此類訊號時，學生可在段落的最後一句話前面新增一個引出結論的訊號詞，以確定其是否是主題句。
位於段中：有時段落是先介紹背景和細節，接著用一句綜合或概括性的話概括前面所說的內容或事例，然後再圍繞主題展開對有關問題的深入討論。這種文章的主題句往往會在段落中間出現。歸納起來主要有兩種情況：先提出問題，然後給予回答(主題句)，最後給予解釋;或者，先提出問題，然後點出主題思想(主題句)，最後給予解釋。
首尾呼應：主題句在段落的開頭和結尾兩個位置上先後出現，形成前呼後應的格局。這兩個主題句敘說的是同一個內容，但用詞不盡相同，這樣不但強調了主題思想，而且顯得靈活多變。這兩個句子並非簡單重複，後一個主題句或對該主題作最後的評述，或對要點作一概括，或使之引申留給讀者去思考。
無明確主題句：找關鍵詞(出現頻率較高), 歸納總結。
二、細節理解題
考查內容主要涉及時間、地點、人物、事件、原因、結果、數字等議論文中例證細節和定義類細節。這類題目的共同特點是：答案一般都能在文章中找到。當然，答案並不一定是文章中的原句，考生需要根據文章提供的資訊自己組織語句回答問題。
1.事實細節題→尋讀法
分為直接理解題和間接理解題，前者常用who, what, which, when, where, why和how提問，或判斷正誤;後者需與原文資訊轉換，表達上與原文有差異。常見命題形式有：
What can we learn from the passage?
All the following are mentioned except
Which of the following is mentioned (not mentioned)?
Which of the following statements is true/right/false/wrong about…?
★真題範例 (2012江西卷) ……… Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him. ………
did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?
wanted to take a voyage.
wanted to practice his skill
was so much attracted by it.
was eager to do an experiment.
答案：C
2. 排列順序題→首尾定位法(找出第一個事件和最後一個事件，用排除法縮小範圍)
常出現在記敘文和說明文中，一般按事件發生的順序。常見命題形式有：
Which of the following is the correct order of…? Which of the following shows the path of signals described in Paragraph…?
★真題範例 (2011山東卷) Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. ……. The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(頭皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. ……..
73. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
答案：C
3. 圖文匹配題→按圖索驥理清線索
設題形式：給出圖表，根據圖表提問問題。
4. 數字計算題→(方法：審題→帶著問題找細節→對比、分析、計算)
可直接找到相關細節，但需經過計算方可找到答案。
