大學聯考英語閱讀:主旨大意題的解題技巧

  一、主旨大意題的命題形式

主旨大意題旨在考查考生把握全文主題和理解中心思想的能力,亦即考查考生的歸納概括能力。這類試題包括要求考生選出短文的標題(title, headline)、短文或段落的主題(subject)、中心思想(main idea)、作者的寫作目的(purpose或為傳遞資訊、或為愉悅讀者、或為闡述某一道理)等。這類題的設問方式主要有:

(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、尋找主題句的方法

正確的解答這類題目的關鍵是準確地找出文章的主題句。一般來說,一篇文章常常會圍繞著一箇中心思想或一個主要話題展開,而這個話題又常常通過一個能比較全面地覆蓋或概括文章意思的句子,即所謂的“主題句”來體現。那麼,主題句通常在哪裡呢?(1)主題句在文首;(2)主題句在文中;(3)主題句在文末;(4)主題句以首尾呼應的形式出現在文首和文末。

 1. 主題句在文首

這類文章寫法上的特點是:文章的第一句起著點題的作用,概括了文章的主要內容或資訊,下文接著對主題句所涉及的.話題進行具體的闡述。如:(全國大學聯考題)

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(階梯)out of 4 millionstudents taking part in the Fifth National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest (競賽)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 EducationCommission(國家教委) 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】這是一篇報道,文章的第一段只有兩句話:“20個學生(2女18男)有充分的理由為自己感到自豪,因為他們奪得了第五屆華羅庚杯數學競賽的金獎,是4百萬參賽學生中的佼佼者”,下文接著對競賽的有關情況進行報道,因此,第一段實際上就是這篇報道的主題句。A、B、C分別只包含了報道的部分資訊,顯然不合題意;D選項與主題句的意思完全一致,因此是正確答案。

  2. 主題句在文中

這類文章寫法上的特點是:開始部分是引題,接著是點題,最後是對主題進行敘述,主題句常常起著承上啟下的作用。如:(全國大學聯考題)

Fat on human beings is distributed in different 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 reduce the internal fat. But unfortunately it seems thatdieting (節食) 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 reducing the internalrather than external fat.
