　　A.找主题句。

　　首先要读标题。主题句一般位于文章或段落的开始，在解题时，凡是与主题句意思最接近的选项必然是正确的答案。

　　B.概括和归纳出主题思想。

　　实际上，在阅读理解测试部分有的文章是没有主题句的。概括主题可以从归纳每段的要点开始，最后将各段要点集中概括并归纳出全文的主题思想。

　　二.了解阐述主旨的事实和细节

　　一般会引用事实、或分析原因、或对比事物间的关系等以论证论点。

　　常用有两种：

　　1、要求找出文章中的重要事实或细节，常与who，when，where，which或why有关。

　　2、辨认哪些细节在文章中没被提及，常有except，not，least等。

　　回答这类题目，读者要：通读全文、掌握文章的中心大意的基础上，首先，看懂问题，明确问的是什么，然后，按照题意寻读，找到答案根据。

　　三.利用上下文猜测某些词汇和短语的意义

　　完整的语篇中，单词和词组的意义受特定的情景、上下文限制，因此可以根据上下文，并利用所掌握的句法、构词法和词汇等确定它们的意义。掌握这一基本技能不仅能帮助读者从词或词组的多种义项中选择符合上下文的解释，而且往往还能推测某些生词的大致意思。

　　9. ..., as used in the passage, can best be defined as _________

　　四.既理解个别句子的意义，也理解上下文之间的意义关系
