2017英语专业四级阅读主旨题技巧:快速查找文章大意
在2017英语专业四级阅读中主旨题是一种比较常考的题型。做主旨题要求考生在读完文章一遍后能够迅速总结出文章的大意。但是不同的文章的大意的体现方式也是不同的,比如有的文章的主题大意很清楚地体现在主题句topic sentence中,而有的文章的主题大意却不明显,需要考生通过体会字里行间的意思和从整体上理解文章的内容。下面我们就来看一下如何找出含有主题句的文章大意。
大意或主旨是一篇文章的中心。段落大意一般体现在一句话中,这句话就叫主题句topic sentence。段落的其他部分是支持和解释大意的具体细节。因此如果能够迅速地找出主题句并确定段落大意和细节的对比,对于文章或段落大的获得是非常有帮助的。
例如:
As a rule, most of my dreams at night are pleasant ones. (c)Recently, though, I had a really bad dream. (a)I was in an alley, dressed in light summer clothing. (b)Coming out of the darkness at the end of the alley were hundreds of large gray rats. Their razor sharp teeth glistened with saliva, and their eyes glowed red with a cold fury. I turned to run away, but attacking the other direction were a dozen pit bulls. (d)And these particular pit bulls were foaming at the mouth; they all had rabies. “Just my luck,” I muttered, and did my best to wake up as quickly as possible.
看完该段落后,你能判断出a, b, c, d四句话哪句是主题句吗?答案是c。那么为什么呢?a句意义太狭窄,它是有关作者的衣服,可以断定只是文章的一个细节。b句和d句的意义同样太狭窄,不能概括段落大意。而c句中的really bad dream意义非常广阔,并且能够覆盖所有噩梦的细节,因此它是主题句。
通过查找段落的主题句和段落大意,你就能够很轻松地将它们综合成文章的大意。
