1、二、文章或段落大意题(20196月浙江，C)California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素)The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests
2、，the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 per
3、cent.Many factors contributed to the decline，said Patrick McIntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees f
4、or resources(资源)But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees
5、was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall，air temperature，dampness of
6、soil，and the timing of snowmelt(融雪)Since the 1930s，McIntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.语篇解读文章主
7、要讲述了美国加利福尼亚州的森林中大树急剧减少的现象，并分析了其原因。27What is the second paragraph mainly about?AThe seriousness of bigtree loss in California.BThe increasing variety of California big trees.CThe distribution of big trees in California forests.DThe influence of farming on big trees in California.答案A解析段落大意题。根据第二段中“The
8、 number of trees.declined by 50 percent.more than 55 percent.75 percent”提到的数字可知，该段主要描述了加州森林中大树急剧减少的严重性，故选A项。28Which of the following is wellintentioned but may be bad for big trees?AEcological studies of forests.BBanning woodcutting.CLimiting housing development.DFire control measures.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第
9、三段中的“Aggressive wildfire pete with big trees for resources(资源)”可知，声势浩大的森林防火措施虽然一定程度上保护了森林，但同时也导致小树泛滥，与大树争抢资源，从而导致大树数量减少，故选D项。29What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?AInadequate snowmelt.BA longer dry season.CA warmer climate.DDampness of the air.答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Since
10、the 1930s，McIntyre said.have been rising temperatures.reduces the water supply”可知，McIntyre认为水资源短缺的主要原因是逐渐上升的气温，故选C项。30What can be a suitable title for the text?ACalifornias Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?BCutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonCWhy Are the Big Trees Impor
11、tant to California Forests?DPatrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California答案A解析标题归纳题。根据全文可知，文章主要讲述了美国加州森林中大树数量急剧下降的现象，并分析了其原因。因此A项能很好地概括全文。一、题型解读说明文、记叙文、议论文三种文体涉及的多种话题如社会文化类、人物故事类、科普说明类，都会考查文章大意类题。设问形式常有：(1)What is the main theme/topic/idea of this/the passage/text?(2)What does the text/passage
12、 mainly focus on?(3)The passage/text is mainly about .(4)The general/main idea of the passage is .(5)The passage mainly focuses on .二、解题技巧“主题句定位”寻主旨文章是由段落组成的。段落的主题就是段落的中心思想，具体段落的中心思想又是为文章整体中心思想服务的。理解整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在理解具体段落中心的基础上的。找出每段的主题句，各段的主题句常在该段的首句或尾句，各段主题句的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。有的文章无明显的主题句，主题句隐含在段意之中，这就
13、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：(1)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。(2)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。(3)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。(4)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。以下是找主题句的四个小窍门：(1)段落中出现表示转折的词汇(如however，but，in fact，actually等)时，该
14、句很可能是主题句。(2)首段出现疑问句时，对该问题的回答很可能就是文章主旨。(3)作者有意识地重复的观点，通常是主旨；反复出现的词语，一般为体现文章主旨的关键词。(4)表示总结或结论的句子常包含therefore，thus，in short，conclude，conclusion等词。例如：【真题感悟】中第27题。根据第二段中“The number of trees.declined by 50 percent.more than 55 percent.75 percent”提到的数字可知，该段主要描述了加州森林中大树急剧减少的严重性，故选A项。A(2019河北衡水中学押题卷二)As the
