4、所以D项为本段的主题句。增分技巧(1)如果空格出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读空格后内容，根据段落一致性原则，推断出该段的主题句。(2)关注与下文的关系。着重阅读空格后面的第一、二句，确定相关信息词，然后在选项中查找与之相关的内容。阅读时要学会瞻前顾后，以确定答案。二、 段尾主题句典例(201610月浙江高考片段)How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, dont they？Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in you

7、是少年，你也可以取得成功；成功实际上并不太难)为主题的提出做好了铺垫。下文就少年怎样取得成功的话题提出了几条建议，可见此处应是全文主题。故F项为最佳选项。32选B第32题设空在第二段的段尾。本空与下一段的开头没有关联，可见其很可能是本段的总结句。前文讲到努力学习就可以进一所好大学，这能使你拥有一个光明的未来。B项(学校使你走上正确的轨道)能概括全段，故为最佳选项。增分技巧空格在段尾，一般是对上文或者全文进行总结概括，得出结论，也可能是对上文提到的内容做进一步地补充说明，这种情况下，就需要选择注释性的句子。小结分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉，这是阅读七选五解题的关键。分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种
