1、1第三讲主旨大意题抽取主干细加工主旨大意题是阅读理解中考生失分最多的题目,因为该类试题不仅考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,也对考生的归纳、概括能力提出了较高的要求。文章中没有明显的解题依据,需要考生从文章中提炼、抽取一些关键词、主干句进行加工概括,才能归纳出文章的主旨。此类题目可分为三大类,即标题归纳题、文章大意题和段落大意题。要做好主旨大意题,我们首先必须了解其正确选项和干扰选项的特征。正确选项特征 干扰选项特征1.过于笼统,不知所云所给选项内容概括的范围过大,超出文章所述内容。2.以偏概全,主次不分所给选项只阐述了文章的一部分内容,或以文章中的细节信息或个别词作为选项的设置内容,或以次要
2、的事实或细节充当全文的主要观点。3.移花接木,偷换概念所给选项被命题者有意识地把本属于 A 的内容放在 B 上,若不留神,极易选错答案。1.涵盖性强,覆盖全文或全段。2.确定的范围恰当,既不太大,也不太小。3.精确性强,不会改变语言表意的程度及色彩。4.无中生有,生搬硬套所给选项的关键词语虽然在文章中谈到了,但经过仔细阅读分析之后,发现选项的内容与文章的内容毫无联系。类型一 标题归纳题一、常见设问方式The best title of the passage is _.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?What wo

12、心思想,具体段落的中心思想又是为文章整体中心思想服务的。理解整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在理解具体段落中心的基础上的。找出每小段的主题句,各段的主题句常在该段的首句或尾句,各段主题句的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。有的文章无明显主题句,主题句隐含在段意之中,这就需要进一步加工概括。观察全文的结构安排,理解文章的“重心”和支撑性细节。用浏览法(skimming),即快速阅读文首、文尾,或每段的首句和尾句等,搜索主题线索和主题信息的方法可以快速找到主题句。以下是找主题句的四个小窍门:1段落中出现表示转折的词语(如 however, but, in fact, actually 等)时,该句很可能是
13、主题句。2首段出现疑问句时,对该问句的回答很可能就是文章主旨。43作者有意识地重复的观点,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表示总结或结论的句子常包含 therefore, thus, in short, conclude, conclusion 等词,通常是主旨。例 (2018全国卷阅读 C)Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.

22、、解题必备知能归纳段落大意的 2 种方法方法 1:概括段落大意要准确概括某段的大意,务必要知道该段的逻辑结构。(1)如果该段是按总分顺序组织,首句做总的说明,其他句子对其进行具体论述,这种结构的主题句就在段首;(2)如果按分总顺序组织,主题句就在段尾;(3)如果按分总分的顺序组织,则主题句就在这段话的中间;6(4)如果按总分总的顺序,段落结构相对难度较低,我们可以很明显的看到一段的首句和末句的内容几乎完全一致,正确答案就呼之欲出了;(5)如果按并列式行文,这种结构的段落一般会在一段中讨论两个平行的内容,整个段落可以从中间处分开,前后是平行关系,这样的段落结构对应的答案通常也会是很明显的并列关系
23、;(6)如果对比各事物,那么它们的共同点或不同点就是该段大意。方法 2:揣摩段落大意有时,作者可能不直接写出主题句,而是通过各种方法暗示给读者,这就需要充分发挥读者的想象力与判断力,揣摩段落大意。例 (2017全国卷阅读 C 节选)Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.

With 57 dogs to feed, as well as his extended family, hell need to kill several walruses on this trip.Normally the ice comes to northwestern Greenland in September and stays until
30、 June. But during the past few years the ice has been thick and the hunting good for only three or four weeks. The ice shelf gives hunters access to the walruses, seals, and whales they hunt. Without it, hunting becomes nearly impossible. In one recent winter, Qaanaaqs hunters found themselves witho

At the same time, they also use guns, cellphones, and watch TV. “This changing weather is bad for us, ” Jens says. “Some of our people have to find other ways to make a living.” The government now funds job training programs to help ice hunters find other employment.Warmer weather does pro
