A.Animals B.Plants C.Food Chains D.Living Things 根据主题句的意思,我们可以很容易判断:这篇短文最好的标题是Food Chains。 2主题句在段末或篇末 用归纳法写文章时,往往表述细节的句子在前,概述性的句子在后,并以此结尾。这种位于段末或篇末的主题句往往是对前面细节的总结,归纳或结论。例如2002年陕西省中考试题阅读材料A的最后一段: If you buy some well-made clothes,you can save money because they can last longer.They look good even after they have been washed many times.Sometimes some clothes cost more money,but it does not mean that they are always better made,or they always fit better.In other words,some less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes. 这段文章前面列举了两件事实:如果你买一些制作优良的衣服,你会省钱,因为这些衣服能穿得时间长一些。即使他们洗了很多次,仍然看起来很好。有时有些衣服花得前更多,但并不意味着这些衣服做得更好。最后一句话是对这两个事实的概括:有些价钱便宜的衣服比价钱贵的衣服更好看,更合身。段末这个句子就是主题句。 3无主题句 有时,一篇文章里并没有明显的主题句。这时我们应该怎样来确定文章的主题或中心意思呢?其实这也不难。我们可以首先找出每一段的中心意思,各段的中心意思往往都是围绕一个中心来展开的,或者说是来说明一个问题的。这个中心或这个问题就是这篇文章的主题或中心意思。 请看江西省中考试题阅读理解A: Killer bees started in Brazil 1957.A scientist in Sao Paulo wanted bees to make more honey(蜂蜜).So he put forty-six African bees with some Brazilian bees.The bees bred(繁殖)and made a new kind of bees.But the new bees were a mistake.They didn’t want to make more honey.They wanted to attack.Then,by accident,twenty-six African bees escaped and bred with the Brazilian bees outside. Scientists could not control(控制)the problem.The bees increased fast.They went from Brazil to Venezuela.Then they went to Central America.Now they are in North America.They travel about 390 miles a year.Each group of bees grows four times a year.This means one million new groups every five years. Why are people afraid of killer bees?People are afraid for two reasons.First,the bees sting(叮)many more times than usual bees.Killer bees can sting sixty times a minute nonstop for two hours.Second,killer bees attack in groups.Four hundred bee stings can kill a person. Already several hundred people are dead.Now killer bees are in Texas.In a few years they will reach all over the United States.People can do nothing but wait. 这篇短文表面看起来没有主题句,那末怎样来确定它的中心意思呢?按照上面的说明,我们先找出每一段的大意:第一段讲的是“killer bees”的产生。第二段讲的是“killer bees”的急剧增加。第三段讲的是人们害怕“killer bees”的原因。第四段讲的是“killer bees”已经杀死的人数和将来的状况。从这几段的大意可以看出这篇文章自始至终都是围绕“killer bees”这一中心展开的。换句话说,“killer bees”就是这篇文章的主题。 在这篇短文的后面就出了一道这样的阅读理解题: 59.The best title of the passage is ____________. A.How to make more honey B.Killer bees C.A foolish scientist D.How to feed killer bees 毫无疑问,答案应该是:B。 让教育回归家庭,给现实的世界寻找一个希望的出口--超级在线1对1! 找一对一辅导老师,就来!不用奔波,在家就好! (责任编辑:admin) |
