六级阅读主旨题答题技巧及实战演练(22)

　　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?

　　4) The best title / headline for this passage might be ______.

　　5) The authors main purpose in writing the passage is ______.

　　6) Which of the following statements is best supported by the text?

　　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

　　22 It is burning hot in Mali, an island country in Africa, where the highest temperature even reach 55℃, while the average temperature of the whole year there maintains above 45℃. But to our great surprise, the tourism there is getting very well. Nearly all the year round the tourists can be seen coming and going.

　　That is because there are a large number of In-the-Well Hotels in Mali. It means that first of all, people have dug a thirty-metre-deep well under very hot land surface, then in the wall of the well several empty caves, about two metres high each, are made. In these caves beds are arranged.

　　Obviously, In-the-Well Hotel, not as hot as it is out of the well, remains only about 12~20℃. In the cave rooms, tourists can find all the daily necessaries.

　　It not only frees the guests of the country from the hot weather but also gives them a new and fresh experience. So it is appealing to the tourists coming all parts of the world.

　　The best title for this passage should be ________.

　　A Mali, a Burning Hot Country

　　B Tourism in Mali

　　C The Well Hotel

　　D A way to Develop Tourism
