1、1主旨要义题的解题技巧试题特点 任何一个对话或独白都是围绕一个主旨或一个中心思想展开的。有时主题比较明朗,有时比较隐晦,这就需要我们归纳或推理。首先,应该关注说话人在说什么,说话的目的是什么。命题的话题常涉及校园生活、家庭生活或公共场所等方面。此类题常要求根据所给信息,归纳原文的主题或最合适的标题。多为主观性问题,常用的提问方式有: What does the passage talk about? / What is the passage mainly about? What is the main idea of the passage/talk? What is the best ti
2、tle of the passage? Whats the man/woman doing? 对这种类型的题,抓住短文的前两句特别重要。因为前两句话往往是主题句,即使不是主题句,也对理解全文有重要的意义。例如: Last Friday, a storm tore through two villages in Fujian Province, 14 people were killed. 这是一篇新闻的开头,明显是主题句。介绍了事件的中心内容,下面则应该是对风暴情况的具体叙述。 临场技巧 1. 排除知识性障碍。注意英汉两种语言的文化差异。英语中,句子2的时态、语态、语气经常决定说话人的意图,需
3、要仔细揣摩。如: W:Some friends and I are going swimming this afternoon. How would you like to come along? M:If only I didnt have to work today. 这里的 if only 引导虚拟语气,表示他很希望来,但由于必须要工作而不行。如果听者不熟悉 if only 这个句型,就很难对说话人的态度做出快速反应。 2. 注重对文章整体内容的理解。听清主题句,把握中心思想。注意听文章的首句和首段,往往是对短文内容的概括。如讲话目的、主要内容、作者、论点、故事发生的时间、地点及事由等。
4、主题句是一篇听力材料的中心思想,文章的其他内容都用来说明和发展主题句。如果我们从问题和选项中就已看出,该题测试点为主旨要义、标题、中心思想及作者观点等,那么,听清主题句就尤为必要。 【中考真题 3】 (2013 年包头卷) What did Jack do one day? A. He asked his friends to dinner. B.
