1、主旨题表现形式
四级阅读中,主旨题主要可以表现为“What’s the best title for this passage”;“What is the main idea of the passage”;“The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____”。当然,这些提问方式可以有很多微小的变化,比如问“The passage is mainly about___”等等。
2、主旨题解题方法
从理论上来讲,主旨题是四级各类题型中要求最高的,因为它要求考生看完文章后,能对文章的大概框架作一个宏观把握,从而解答后面的题目。但是把握文章框架对很多考生来说,是不能做到的。庆幸的是,一般的四级文章,都可以找到文章主题句,或者是可以体现文章主题的句子或单词。
文章主题一般在前两段出现,所以考生要比较关注前两段结论性的语言。四级阅读在全文首句出现文章主题的情况比较多见。另外,第一段转折性的语言,通常也能体现作者的观点偏好。
3、主旨题注意点
如果是考文章主题,那么正确答案一定具有概括性和结论性,细节性的选项肯定是错的。如2005年考题,
What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?
A)To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.
B)To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.
C)To support the statement made by York Onnen.
D)To show the most effective way to lose weight.
一看这四个选项,就可以发现A和C里面包含十分具体信息“the Boston University Medical Center”和“York Onnen”,是利用原文中的具体话题,某个细节内容而设计的干扰选项。
值得注意的是很多干扰选项还以“以偏概全”的形式出现的,所以分析时要注意正确答案概括的全面性。而利用扩大主题的范围来设计干扰选项的方式,在四级中相对较少。为了说明主题,为了论证,作者会引用一些人讲的话,而这些观点也很可能被考到。
