2、.6.The last paragraph is chiefly concerned with _.7.Which of the following statements best expresses the main ideaof the passage?8.Which of the following best states the theme of the passage?怎么学在平时的阅读练习中,注意文章的体裁,把握作者的写作目的与思路,学会抓主题句、主题段,关注文章的首段、尾段、每段的首句和尾句等。另外,掌握略读与细读的基本技巧,学会积累、寻找关键词像the most importa
3、nt,finally等,像概括类词therefore,in a word等。怎么解做此类题目时做到:1.高瞻远瞩,不可以偏概全;不可以个人的思想代替作者的思想。2.在了解全文大意的基础上,仔细考虑选项内容与文章主题有没有联系;3.看选项内容对文章概括得是否正确;4.要注意选项中所给出的题目范围是否过大或过小。要避免以下三种错误:概括不够,过度概括,以事实细节替代概括性强的大意。5.找主题句的四个小窍门:(1)段落中出现表转折的词语(如however,but,in fact,actually,while,on the contrary,in contrast等)时,其后的句子很可能是主题句。(2
4、)首段出现疑问句时,对该问题的回答很可能就是主题句。(3)作者有意识地反复强调的观点,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)表示总结或结论的词或短语有therefore,thus,in short,conclude,in conclusion等。【典例剖析1】体裁:议论文 话题:睡眠 词数:248 时间:7(2016四川卷,D)A warm drink of milk before bed has longbeen the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep.Butnow a study has found
