Dear Peter，
I'm writing to ask whether you can do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, hopeful a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone who is interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept that at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I think I can share her our traveling experiences, and whatever we have in common. And I believe I would improve my English by doing so and learn more about his country.
I look forward to hear from you soon.
Yours，
Susan

阅读理解之主旨大意题
主旨大意题是高考阅读理解中不可缺少的阅读题型之一，而且难度比较大。此类题目跟文章的主题有关，因此准确把握文章的大意对于提高解题的速度和准确率就显得格外重要。
命题形式：
1．考查文章的中心思想
The main idea/key point of this passage is that________./The passage is mainly about________.
From the passage we can learn/conclude that________./What's the main idea of the Paragraph...?
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage？/What does the passage mainly talk about?
2．考查文章标题的选择

3. 考查作者意图

What's the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph...?
应试策略：
1.采用浏览法(skimming)抓住主题句，锁定文章主旨。主题句通常在文章开头，也有可能在中间或末尾。
2.抓住段落大意，概括中心思想。寻找整篇文章的中心思想是建立在寻找段落中心的基础上的。各段落中心的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。不能以偏概全，也不能在概括时过于宽泛，要恰如其分。
3.抓住主线和关键，归纳文章中心。先弄清各个段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容，这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系，然后加以归纳，形成主题。了解文章的结构，把握全篇的文脉，即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。对这种能力的考查一般反映在文章的中心内容、文中某一段的大意或指代关系的题目中。
[典例1] [2017·广东高考]
...
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And，in addition to that,_in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put
in.
...
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,
almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent,
hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,
but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
35. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.
[解析] C。本文是一篇议论文。只有花时间练习才有可能成功。文章的第二段提出论点，一个人要成功，就要坚持不懈地练习，要花很多时间。最后一段作出总结：如果不花时间练习，就不会成功；投入了时间和精力努力练习，不一定会成功，但一定会让你变得优秀。因此答案选C项。
[典例2] [2017·安徽高考]Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater...
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．..
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,
too...
You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with，use
the same glass for your drinking water all day...
63. The text is mainly about________.
A. why paving roads reduces our water
B. how much we depend on water to live
C. why droughts occur more in dry climates
D. how human activity affects our water supply
[解析] D。本文为议论文。文章讨论的是人类活动对水供应的隐形影响。故D项最能概括本文主旨。A、B、C项是文中提到的细节内容。
[典例3] [2017·天津高考]Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
...
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey－and the best part of yourself.
50. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Charm of the Detour
B. The Road to Bravery
C. Creativity out of Necessity
D. Road Trip and Country Life
[解析] A。很多时候生活中的旅行需要快速直接地到达目的地，但有时候绕道而行也别有一番趣味。根据最后一段可知，作者意识到这次的绕道而行让他们体验到冒险游荡的感觉，得到了更多的乐趣，贴近最真实的自己，也带给了他们美的享受，A项作为文章标题最佳。
[典例4] [2017·湖北高考]We've reached a strange－some would say unusual－point.
While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization(WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.
...
We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems...
...
We know what we should be doing to lose weight－but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
...
It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see
their kids shape up. Do as I say－not as I do.
62. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Actions or Excuses?
B. Overweight or Underweight?
C. WHO in a Dilemma
D. No Longer Dying of Hunger
[解析] A。文章说人们都知道肥胖的危害，却不愿意采取措施减肥。全文没有明显的主题句，但从文中的“While fighting world hunger continues to be...”“We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.”“We know what we should be doing to lose weight－but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is...”“Do as I say－not as I do.”可归纳出，本文的主题应该是A项：是行动起来，还是继续为自己找借口？
