106、子构成的，通常用以表达一个中心思想或者从一个角度对文章的主题进行阐述。结构完整的段落大多由三部分组成：主题句，支撑句和总结句。一、主题句表达段落主题的句子。它用以概括段落大意，要求全段其他文字都围绕它展开。主题句通常放在段落的开端，其特点是开门见山地摆出问题，然后加以详细说明。其作用是使文章的结构更清晰、更具说服力，便于读者迅速地把握主题和想象全段的内容。主题句可以放在段中起到承上启下的作用，或放在段尾起概括全段的作用。Public opinions on what it takes to succeed in ones studies or career vary widely.Given
107、approximately equal circumstances，some claim the success factor is largely a matter of luckbeing in the right place and the right time.Others speak of utter devotion to work，combined with a degree of ruthlessness.Still others maintain that it is undoubtedly a matter of how much intelligence you have

109、 they want.With money, they can buy a fine horse to ride.And with money, they can lead a happy life.Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life.该段的主题句是最后一句：Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life.【提示】并非每个段落都有主题句。当一个段落继续前一个段落的话题时，此段就不需要主题句了。因为
110、主题句的作用是明确指示该段内容、确定该段落的中心思想，因此必须用概括性的、完整的句子来表示，这就要求句子既不能太笼统，也不能太具体。句子太笼统，或者说主题太大，很难用一百字左右的文字说清楚。如果句子太具体，缺乏概括性观点，则无法展开段落。二、支撑句支撑句是用来支持或说明主题句的，是段落主题句的延伸和发展，起着辅助主题句、扩展段落中心的作用，对主题句表达的中心思想或举例说明、或细致描写、或详细解释阐述和论证，使读者能够清晰地理解和信服地接受作者所表达的意思。(1)The computer finds many applications in all fields.(2)Computers are
111、 now doing almost everything from diagnosing hospital patients to running nuclear power stations.(3)In any field where information is collected，processed，stored，and retrieved，computers are being used more and more.(4)Computers are also used as an aid to design planning.在上述这个段落中，句(1)是主题句，提出计算机在所有领域都有
112、应用的观点；句(2)、(3)和(4)都是支撑句，都支持和说明句(1)，具体说明计算机在哪些领域的应用。三、结论句结论句位于段落的末尾，在段落中也起着非常重要的作用，用以对全段内容进行总结、归纳或提出结论性的观点。结论句常和主题句相呼应，以不同的形式再现主题，并与支撑句相关联。学业分层测评.单词拼写1The boy is very clever and has an _(分析的)mind.2He has been working in the _(面包店)since he was very young.3A _(生物学家)is a scientist who studies living thi

It didn t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to？” I replied, “Theres nothing wrong with it. ” This made him look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it，” he said encouragingly, “Compare
