3、话来表达主题，在主题句出现后，再举例陈述细节或继续论证，即引题主题思想解释或继续论证） 4）归纳要点抓大意（文章没有明确的主题句，考生必须根据文章的内容，进行综合分析，找出共同的东西，归纳成一般概念。这类文章通常是叙述一件事的发展过程，或是陈述一系列同等重要的细节或事实.)2. 推理判断题 正确理解作者的观点、立场和寓意 纵观全文、看清文章机构、抓住细节、周密分析、合理推断 作选择时要使你所选答案与作者的立场保持一致。这也是一条原则3. 词义理解的解决方法 根据定义和解释来猜测词义 根据同义、反义、同等、同位、对等关系猜测词义 据因果关系和上下文猜测词义4.细节题steps 1.每段的topi
