1、 第三講　主旨大意題 [整體感知·明方向] 主旨大意題是閱讀理解中考生失分最多的題目，因?yàn)樵擃愒囶}不僅考查考生略讀文章、領(lǐng)會(huì)大意的能力，也對考生的歸納、概括能力提出了較高的要求。文章中沒有明顯的解題依據(jù)，需要考生從文章中提煉、抽取一些關(guān)鍵詞、主干句進(jìn)行加工概括，才能歸納出文章的主旨。此類題目可分為三大類，即標(biāo)題歸納題、文章大意題和段落大意題。要做好主旨大意題，我們首先必須了解其正確選項(xiàng)和干擾選項(xiàng)的特征。 常見設(shè)問方式 1．標(biāo)題歸納題 The best title of the passage is ________. Which of the following is the

2、 best title of the passage? What would be the best title for the passage? The most appropriate title of the passage is ________. 2．文章大意題 What's the main idea/point of the passage? The passage is mainly about ________. What is the text mainly about? The general/main idea of the passage is abou

3、t ________. 3．段落大意題 What does the author tell us in Paragraph...? The main idea of the second paragraph probably is ________. The first paragraph is mainly about ________. Which of the following can best summarize Par.1？ 正確選項(xiàng)特征 干擾選項(xiàng)特征 1.涵蓋性強(qiáng)，覆蓋全文或全段。 2.確定的范圍恰當(dāng)，既不太大，也不太小。 3.精確性強(qiáng)，不會(huì)改變語言表意的程度

4、及色彩。 1.過于籠統(tǒng)，不知所云 所給選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容概括的范圍過大，超出文章所述內(nèi)容。 2.以偏概全，主次不分 所給選項(xiàng)只闡述了文章的一部分內(nèi)容，或以文章中的細(xì)節(jié)信息或個(gè)別詞為選項(xiàng)的設(shè)置內(nèi)容，或以次要的事實(shí)或細(xì)節(jié)充當(dāng)全文的主要觀點(diǎn)。 3.移花接木，偷換概念 所給選項(xiàng)被命題者有意識地把本屬于A的內(nèi)容放在B上，若不留神，極易選錯(cuò)答案。 4.無中生有，生搬硬套 所給選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞語雖然在文章中談到了，但經(jīng)過仔細(xì)閱讀分析之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與文章的內(nèi)容毫無聯(lián)系。 [分類例析·通技法] 標(biāo)題歸納題 ◆[解題攻略] 理解標(biāo)題的3大特點(diǎn)，巧用3大方法確定文章標(biāo)題 一個(gè)好的標(biāo)題應(yīng)具備三大特點(diǎn)

5、： 1．概括——準(zhǔn)確而又簡短； 2．針對性——標(biāo)題外延正好與文章內(nèi)容相符； 3．醒目——能引發(fā)讀者的閱讀欲望。 因此有必要掌握以下三大方法： 1．正面肯定法：在理解文章主旨的基礎(chǔ)上，揣摩哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)能準(zhǔn)確概括主旨； 2．反面否定法：撇開原文，拿各個(gè)備選項(xiàng)去設(shè)想用它們寫出來的“文章”將是什么內(nèi)容，然后和原文章對照，一一排除不符選項(xiàng)； 3．研讀備選項(xiàng)本身：研讀備選項(xiàng)里面的中心詞、修飾詞的變化、結(jié)構(gòu)、概括性等。 ◆[典例](2019·全國卷Ⅱ，閱讀D)Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.

13、，各段主題句的整體歸納便是文章的中心思想。有的文章無明顯主題句，主題句隱含在段意之中，這就需要進(jìn)一步加工概括。觀察全文的結(jié)構(gòu)安排，理解文章的“重心”和支撐性細(xì)節(jié)。 用瀏覽法(skimming)，即快速閱讀文首、文尾，或每段的首句和尾句等，搜索主題線索和主題信息的方法可以快速找到主題句。 以下是找主題句的四個(gè)小竅門： 1．段落中出現(xiàn)表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞語(如however，but，in fact，actually等)時(shí)，該句很可能是主題句。 2．首段出現(xiàn)疑問句時(shí)，對該問題的回答很可能就是文章主旨。 3．作者有意識地重復(fù)的觀點(diǎn)，通常是主旨；反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞語，一般為體現(xiàn)文章主旨的關(guān)鍵詞。 4．

14、表示總結(jié)或結(jié)論的句子常包含therefore，thus，in short，conclude，conclusion等詞。 ◆[典例](2019·全國卷Ⅱ，閱讀C)Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself，quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading？None of your business！Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time.And like more Americans，

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent)have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent，according to statistics from the report. “I prefer to

[解題思路] [第一步]　讀文章，概括文意 本文主要講述了現(xiàn)如今，在美國，越來越多的人選擇自己吃飯，他們希望以此爭取一些自己獨(dú)立的時(shí)間。本文側(cè)重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的文化意識。 [第二步]　析選項(xiàng)，斟酌判斷 A 獨(dú)自吃飯的趨勢

22、就在這段話的中間； (4)如果按總分總的順序，段落結(jié)構(gòu)相對難度較低，我們可以很明顯的看到一段的首句和末句的內(nèi)容幾乎完全一致，正確答案就呼之欲出了； (5)如果按并列式行文，這種結(jié)構(gòu)的段落一般會(huì)在一段中討論兩個(gè)平行的內(nèi)容，整個(gè)段落可以從中間處分開，前后是平行關(guān)系，這樣的段落結(jié)構(gòu)對應(yīng)的答案通常也會(huì)是很明顯的并列關(guān)系； (6)如果對比各事物，那么它們的共同點(diǎn)或不同點(diǎn)就是該段大意。 [方法2]　揣摩段落大意 有時(shí)，作者可能不直接寫出主題句，而是通過各種方法暗示給讀者，這就需要充分發(fā)揮讀者的想象力與判斷力，揣摩段落大意。 ◆[典例](2019·江蘇卷Ⅱ，閱讀B節(jié)選)Most of us，wh

23、en we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone(圓錐體)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma(巖漿)piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner

24、of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is，however，a second less known type of volcano that

25、doesn't involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere. 59．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about

26、? A．The shapes of volcanoes. B．The impacts of volcanoes. C．The activities of volcanoes. D．The heights of volcanoes.

28、 interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收銀臺(tái))．The bags are

29、 prohibited in some 90 cities in California，including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds，plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers' argument；many cities with bans still allow sho

30、ppers to purchase paper bags，which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at，they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replace

31、ment：reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is，the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.However，longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic

32、. Environmentalists don't dispute(質(zhì)疑)these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. Q：What is the best title for the text? A．Plastic，Paper or Neither B．Industry，Pollution and Environment C．Recycle or Throw Away D．Garbage

34、attended by locals. During the opening ceremonies，after the official greetings from the government leaders，people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands，and white camels transport their riders across the sands.Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful

39、her's hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement.This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other.“Let's shake (hands)on it”sometimes means agreement reached. Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet？No.Sometimes t

40、he Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite.It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party，especially when it is a woman，shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her.Even if，for politeness，he holds out

41、 his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand，just touch it slightly.There is generally a misunderstanding(誤解)among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward，while the Chinese are rather reserved(保守的)in manner.But in fact some people in western countries more reserved t

42、han some Chinese today.So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you. Q：The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．The shaking that is happening. B．The 3D animations on the screen. C．The figures about physical objec
