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?

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
11. April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughter to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls horizons and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boy can do better than girls in society. But actually, Girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot , a nurse or a chief executive , says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.
Schools and many companied support the activity, too. Palmers Green High School for girls, in north London, has made the day a necessary of careers education.
Zarina Bart,15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her lawyers office on this years Take Our Daughters to Work Day. I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trail, she said.
Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. Its really strange seeing Mum at work-running around, getting serious and telling people what to do. She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mothers footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given hr more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have more important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughter and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
The writers purpose in writing this text is to _________
A introduce to us a special day for girls
B broaden girls view and raise their confidence
C show us that girls can do as well as boys
D tell how the special day for girls came into being
