10、 ItDMore Self-Control,Less Aggressiveness【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者从社会心理学视角讨论了青少年小学与中学阶段的成长经历,说明了在小学和中学阶段受欢迎的人比不受欢迎的人和地位高的人日后的适应能力更强,更有优势。32解析:推理判断题。根据题干中的 elementary school 可将答案定位到第一段第一句,该句提到 I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes,可推断出,作者在小学时期是一个慷慨大方的女孩。答案:C33解析:主旨大意题。本题需要整体理解第二段内容,归纳其段落大意。本段前两句为主旨句,提出受欢迎度这一概
11、念,并且介绍了 Mitch Prinstein 的理论,把受欢迎的人分为两类,后面围绕这两种分类展开论述。classification 与第二句中的 categories 为同义异构现象。答案:A34解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The likables plays-well-with-others qualities.when tapped early,are employed ever after in life and work.”以及第四段中的“We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive o
12、ver time toward their classmates.But so had those who were high in status.It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment,high status has just the opposite effect on us.”可知,最不受欢迎的青少年会对同学变得不友好。那些地位高的人也会出现这种情况。讨人喜欢的能力会在今后的生活和工作中发挥作用,带来良好的适应力。由此可推断,最受欢迎的孩子往往适应能力更强。adaptable 与本段中的
13、 adjustment为同义异构现象。答案:B35解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文,作者论述受欢迎度对青少年的影响。本题 A 选项学生理解起来较困难,可通过排除法去做,B 选项“地位越高越好”,显然违背文章主旨;C 选项“成为最好的自己,你可以的”,有一定干扰性,但文中没有提到成为最好的,而是要成为最受欢迎的;D 选项“多一些自我控制,少一些攻击性”,文中没有提到自我控制。再根据最后一段中的“Being liked(讨人喜欢)creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help someb
14、ody gain an advantage”可推知,正确选项为 A“友善一点(讨人喜欢)”,你将不会排在最后(你不会完蛋/你会笑到最后)。finish“获得(名次)”,如 finish first/second etc.答案:A题干中常含有以下词语:main idea/mainly/mainly discuss/mainly concerned/central/primary。主旨大意题最关键的就是把握主题句和主题词。主题词通常在文章中出现频率较高,往往会在第一段出现,且带有概括性。有的类型的文章没有明显的主题句,但可以通过找主题词的方法解决此类试题,主题词就是文中出现频率最高的词,一般情况下
15、为名词,记住一句话:主旨大意题的正确选项一定包含主题词!这样一来就很快可以排除若干干扰选项而一眼看出正确选项所在了。也可以运用逆向思维法、快速作文法:在两个选项看上去都十分正确无法选择时,试着从选项出发,想象一下如果自己以此选项来写文章会有哪些内容,然后把它与文章的内容比较,接近的即为正确选项。一、常见命题形式主旨大意题主要考查对全文内容或某一段的内容的归纳总结能力,是在对原文深刻理解基础上的高度概括能力,是高考中的难点之一。常见的命题方式有:What is the best title for this passage?Which of the following can be the be
16、st title for the passage?Whats the main idea of the text?The main idea of the second paragraph is probably that_二、命题特点主旨大意题正确选项的特征:通常不含细节信息的词。通常不含绝对意义的词。能概括全文或某段的全部内容;涵盖性强,精确度强,恰当的表意范围和情感色彩。主旨大意题干扰选项的特征:过于笼统,不知所云。所概括的内容超出原文的范围。以偏概全,主次不分。只概括了文章一部分的内容,或以文章中的细节内容或个别词语做出选项内容。移花接木,偷换概念。选项中的定语或状语影响语意范围,或者
17、把属于 A 的内容放在 B 上。主观臆测,无中生有,虽符合一般常理,选项中关键词也在文中提及,但选项的实际含义与文章主题无关。一、标题归纳题标题是文章的点睛之笔,是文章的灵魂和门面,一个好的标题应具备三大特点:概括准确而又简短,能覆盖全文大意。针对性标题外延正好与文章内容相符;醒目能引发读者的阅读欲望。一般文章的标题可根据主题句来判断,但在某些文章中,如记叙文,没有明确的主题句,需要根据文中的事实细节,查找文章的“主线”,归纳出文章的主题。真题例析(2019全国卷,D 篇)During the rosy years of elementary school(小学),I enjoyed shar

28、就需要进一步加工概括。观察全文的结构安排,理解文章的“重心”和支撑性细节。主题句的位置一般有以下几种:主题句出现在文首。开门见山,提出主题,用细节来解释或拓展主题句所表达的主题思想,是最常见的演绎法写作方式。新闻报道、说明文或议论文通常采用这种写法。主题句出现在文末。在表述细节后,归纳要点以概括主题,是最常见的归纳法写作方式。主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题,作者先提出主题,结束时再次点出主题。主题句出现在中间。写作方式为:细节描述归纳主题进一步解释。真题例析(2017全国卷,C 篇)After years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced
