高考中的主旨大意題

主旨大意題常見的命題形式有：1.What is the main idea of the passage？2.What is the best title for the passage?3.What is the purpose of this article?

一、新聞報道

新聞報道因為其文體的特殊性，主旨大意題通常出現(xiàn)在第一段。因此，找到一個最能概括第一段內(nèi)容的答案則為正確答案。

Passage 1

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a

serious allergic(過敏的)reaction which stopped his heart.

42.Why does the author write the news?

A.To describe a serious accident.B.To prove the importance of CPR.

C.To report a 9-year-old girl's brave act. D.To call people's attention to allergic reaction.

由文章第一段可指，文章將報道一個小女孩救父親的勇敢行為，故答案為C。

二、應(yīng)用文

高考中的應(yīng)用文通常為廣告、旅游景點介紹、電視節(jié)目介紹等。讀者想想為什么作者寫廣告，為什么要介紹旅游景點電視節(jié)目等。所以，應(yīng)用文通?？嫉氖菍懽髂康?，通常應(yīng)用文的寫作目的是為了吸引旅客、推銷產(chǎn)品等。

Passage 2

31.The text is meant to________

A.leave a noteB.send an invitation

C.present a documentD.carry an advertisement

根據(jù)相關(guān)段落和應(yīng)該文文體特點，可知正確答案為D.

三、說明文

全國卷的主旨大意題主要是說明文。說明文是用來傳授知識，說明問題的，包括科普性文章和研究報告。讀者需要明白作者想要告訴你什么，特別注意第一段，每段的首句。注意單詞“research，study，evidence，show，conclude，suggest”等。

Passage 3

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special，it’s still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you’ll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果園).If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.

11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text

A.To show how to grow apples.B.To introduce an apple festival.

C.To help people select apples.D.To promote apple research.

通過閱讀第一段和每段和第一句，可知作者向我們介紹了一個節(jié)日，故答案為B

四、議論文

議論文的主旨大意題通常分為兩種。第一種是標(biāo)題類，通常第一段會交代文章議論了什么問題。第二種是文章想要說服你相信什么，第二種注意“in my opinion，I believe，I am against，but，yet，however”等詞匯。

五、記敘文

記敘文通常是一個故事或者一次經(jīng)歷，有時候用一個故事激勵讀者。記敘文通常要閱讀全文才能得出主旨大意。閱讀時注意文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的中心詞，特別注意最后一段的情感升華。

以上是從五種不同的文體介紹了判斷文章主旨的主要方法，真正要熟練運用這些方法還需要反復(fù)練習(xí)。還需要在大量的閱讀實踐中不斷思考、總結(jié)，得出自己的體會。
