8、通常是结论、概括性语句。与前文是转折或对比关系。与前文是并列或排比关系。所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果第一段的段尾是空白,要确认是否是主题句。通常文章第一段会点明文章的主题句,如果是在段尾,会用一些信号词引出来。在该位置上常出现的信号词有:therefore,as a result,thus,in short,to conclude,in a word 等。段尾题多为总结句,这样可以更快更准确地把握正确答案:一、找关键语句重点阅读空前一、二句,确定关键词。二、确定信号词在选项中查找表结果、结论、总结等的词语,如therefore,thus,in short,to conclude 等。三、注
9、意转折关系利用选项中表示转折或对比的关联词确定选项内容与前文是否对立。四、注意并列关系利用选项中含有并列关系的词,与前文相似句式或词汇复现等解题线索。五、注意上下文的联系如果选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,应考虑下一段的开头句,看是否能与选项衔接。真题例析1(2018全国卷,节选)38.So why do we dance?“I can tell you about one young couple,”says Bridges.“Theyre learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and
