　　主要考查对文章进行概括或总结的能力，要求在阅读短文时，能够提炼文章的中心思想，体会作者的主要写作意图，充分运用逻辑概括能力，透过字里行间获取文章最具代表性的观点、论点及作者的情感倾向。

　　(一)出题形式：主旨大意题命题形式主要有三大类：一类是概括中心思想(main idea)型;一类是确定文章标题或主题(topic / title / headline)型;还有一类是询问文章的写作目的(purpose)。

　　1) What would be the best title for the text?

　　2) What is the topic of the text?

　　3) Which of the following best expresses the main idea?

　　7) Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

　　8) The main idea / The general idea / The main theme of this passage is ______.

　　9) The title that best expresses the main idea of the passage is ______.

　　(二)答案位置：大部分文章都有主题句(topic sentence)，主题句表达了文章的中心思想(main idea)，找到了主题句，也就抓住了文章的主旨大意。因此，主题句定位法是解答主旨大意题的一种行之有效的方法。主题句呈现形式通常有以下几种：

　　1)在开头出现;

　　2)在结尾出现;

　　3)在开头和结尾同时出现，首尾呼应;

　　4)有些文章的中心思想贯穿全文，并没有用一句话明确表达出来，这就要求学生学会归纳概括。

　　(三)实战演练

　　27 When we say that Cambridge us a university town, we dont mean just that it is a town with a university in it. Manchester and Milan have universities, but we dont call them university towns. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, pubs , marketplace and so on, but most of it is universitycolleges, faculties, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, bands, and churches, making these as well part, of the university.

　　The town was there first. Two Roman roads crossed there, and there are signs of building before Roman times . Cambridge became a center of learning, and the authority(权威) of the head of the university was recognized by the king in 1226.

　　With about 8,250 undergraduates and over 2,000 postgraduates, the city is a busy place in full turn . Undergraduates are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Dont try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures. Your bicycle must go through a boiling sea of other bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of full term , you know that you are in a university town.

　　What is the title of the passage?

　　A Cambridge --- A University Town

　　B Cambridge ---A Centre of learning

　　C Cambridge with Many Students

　　D Cambridge with a Long History
