17、旨大意题也属于阅读理解中的深层理解题。这种题型中的干扰项通常和文章中的某一细节有关，因此许多考生往往只根据文中的某一信息盲目确定答案。(2013安徽卷)Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead t

22、ter. BThrowing batteries away.CPaving parking lots.

24、res a lot we can do to lower the number.”可知D项不正确。本文强调的是减少用水量，而不是家庭的人数，故C项错误。根据全文的内容可推知，水浪费、水污染和水需求不断增长，解决水短缺问题需要付出大量的努力。答案：B3The last paragraph is intended to_.Ashow us how to fix leaks at homeBtell us how to run a dishwasherCprove what drinking glass is best for usDsuggest what we do to save water

26、water supply解析：主旨大意题。本文为议论文，文章开门见山直入主题：.clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.讨论的是人类对于水供应的显性和隐性影响。第二段首句“Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)”似乎将话题转入自然方面的原因，但接下来的“but in any case，good management can
27、 help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs”又将话题转回到人类自身方面管理。第三段中的“Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too.”以及第四段中的“You can take steps to save water in your home.”均指向的是人类行为对于水供应的影响。答案：D主旨大意题要求考生要善于抓取文章的主题句。主题句通常表达了文章的中心思想(main idea)，考生找到了主题句，也就抓住了文章的主旨大意。因此，“主题句定位法”是解答主旨大意题的一种行之有效的方法。主题句通常在文章的开头或结尾出现，但是也有一些文章的中心思想贯穿全文，并没有用一句话明确表达出来，这就需要考生抓住文章中的关键词进行归纳概括。例如真题示例第4题，文章第一段第一句“Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that.”是文章的主题，用水过多或者把垃圾扔进河里，就是这样的人类行为让我们的水资源处于匮乏之中，但这种方式也影响到我们的用水供应，以下篇幅主要围绕人类如何影响水资源展开的，故D项正确。
