5、 host，the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster.At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers.When it does get out of hand，dodder can greatly reduce a farmers harvest or even destroy crops co
6、mpletely.Before sowing their produce，especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds.This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.1Why does the author mention spaghetti in the

44、文章的主旨，了解文章的结构，还要特别注意一些标志词，如小标题、高频词等。2随意打乱文章的结构。 概要写作一般会提供结构比较清楚的文章。 而写概要的时候，一般都是按照文章的结构去概括要点。 不要轻易打乱文章的结构。3各个要点的独立性不够。 考试说明对要点的独立性有明确的要求。 因此，我们对要点的陈述也要相对独立，一般不要把几个要点放到一个句子当中。4照抄原文中的句子。 概要写作的独立性除了各个要点的独立之外，其实还要求用自己的语言去概括文章，不能直接照抄原文的句子。 因此，切记要用自己的语言，而不是原文中的句子来概括要点。状元笔记1在写作时，主要考虑以下内容：1概括的准确性概要应包括原文中的主要
45、事实，略去不必要的细节。安排好篇幅的比例，概要应同原文保持协调，即用较多的文字写重要内容，用较少的文字写次要内容。开篇用主题句清楚明白地告诉读者文章的写作目的，主题句的质量决定了概括的成败。2语言的规范性尽量使用短句，慎用长难句。多使用概括性词语，少用具体描述性词语。不排斥用原文的某些词句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的话语表达，至少对原文句子作一些同义词替换，如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。3篇章的连贯性理解准确，涵盖全部要求，完全使用自己的语言，准确使用相应的语法结构和词汇，得分相应比较高。相反，如果概要写作部分出现两句以上整句抄自原文现象，得分档次将会大大降低；所写内容与所提
46、供内容无关不得分。所写的文章要有一个明确的主题贯穿全文，在组织材料时有明晰的思路。此外，层次要分明，有条理；衔接过渡要自然。在备考的过程中进行写提纲的训练有助于该项能力的提高。状元笔记21概括方法(1)记叙文：“要素串联法”记叙文主要是记叙所发生的事情和经历。常见的形式有：故事、日记、新闻报道、游记等。记叙文通常要交代清楚六要素的内容，即when，where，who，what，how，why即“时间、地点、人物、事件、过程、原因、结果(感悟、启发、启迪、号召、结论、收获等)”给读者一个内容完整、细节清晰的故事。事情的叙述通常按时间的顺序叙述，让读者易于把握所叙述内容之间的内在关联，我们必须抓住
47、记叙文的写作特点或思路，从而更好地理解文章主题，概括出比较中肯的短文中心大意，用最简练的语言来说明故事讲述了什么。 其概要模板为：a点明写作目的类：The writer tells us.(主题) by showing us an example of.，who/which.(故事情节)b作者经历类：In the passage，the writer mainly tells us his experience of doing sth.，which.c他人经历类：This passage is mainly about sb.s experience of doing sth.(2)议论文：
48、“主题概括法”议论文通常用来讲明道理、议论是非、提出观点和看法。作者先正面或反面提出论点，然后用事实论证论点，最后以重申论点或提出建议的方式得出结论。议论文的主题句通常在首段或尾段，或者在各段的首句或尾句。该概述的过程中尽可能客观简要地转述阅读材料的观点。可以采用如下方法概括：The writer of this article thinks that.，或者你认为本材料的观点代表了一些人的思想，就可以说Some people think.，还可以从中立的角度或用“无人称”的方式来说The article gives the view that.。常用以下句式开头： The passage m
49、ainly tells us (talks about).We can know from the passage.As far as the author is concerned.(3)说明文、应用文：“段意合并法”说明性短文，必须用概括性的文字来说明某种现象，常用以下句式开头： It is stated in the article that.According to the passage，the author states that.说明文的概括结构为：phenomenon/problemreasonsolution (cause and effect)，introduction o
50、f an object (how it is made，how it is used，how it may change，what makes it new or significant)常用模板为：a现象揭示类：This article points out the common phenomenon(主题)，which.(补充解释)b利弊对比类：The article compares the disadvantages/benefits of A and B.A.while B.c研究显示类：The study reveals(揭露) that.The purpose of the re
51、port is to show that.2写作步骤(1)弄清要求，有的放矢。概要写作是写全文的概要，不是写某一部分的概要，也不是单独就某些问题写出要点。(2)细读原文，确定主题句。首先要仔细阅读短文，确定文章的主题句，掌握文章主旨和结构，明确各段的大意。主题句一般在段首。没有主题句的需要自己总结。(3)寻找关键词，列出原文要点。分析主题句意义，确定关键词，关键词一般体现为名词、形容词，关键词的数目决定了概括的信息浓度。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。模拟演练How to Go About It?The old saying
