阅读理解之主旨大意及结构类

阅读理解之主旨大意及结构类i 主旨大意类 ：主旨题解题突破方法：主旨题是阅读理解中最常见的题型之一，基本上每年高考英语试卷中都会出现，主要考查学生对整篇文章的把握情况。解答这类题可以运用如下方法：1、抓主题句 : 主题句表达文章中心思想，在文章中通常位于第一段首句、第一段末句和全文末句 等处，主要用于介绍段落主题和阐述控制段落中句子讨论的内容。阅读时要特别注意。2、对于主题隐含的段落，要先弄清问题，然后快速通读文章，逐项排除，最终确定答案。3、抓文章逻辑结构 : 文章主题出现的位置对应于文章逻辑结构中的一个部分， 而在高考阅读中以“总分总”结构类型题居多。所以 重读文章首、尾两段以及每段首句 ，对把握文章结构和主旨理解有很大帮助。4、在阅读中， 应尽量利用有关信息词确定主题句的位置， 比如在 for example ，first 、second 等之前的句子中或在 all in all 等之后的句子中寻找并确定主旨大意题常见提问方式：1. the main idea/key point of this passage is that 2. the passage is mainly about 3. the best title/
