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
26 All of us eat every day, but most of us dont understand nutrition. How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statements true or false?
1. People who dont eat meat can stay healthy.
True. As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternated, they can get enough protein.
2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables.
False. The difference depends on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetables cooked in too much water lose a great amount of vitamins.
3 Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals.
True. Nutritional value depends on what type of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can contribute to a good diet.
4. Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances wont give you more energy.
True. Its widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesnt make it function better, not more than overfilling your gas tank makes your car run better.
5. Natural vitamins are better supplements for the diet than synthetic vitamins.
False. There is no difference. A vitamin has the same properties and specific chemical structure whether made in a laboratory or taken from plant or animal parts.
6 Older people need the same amount of vitamins as younger people.
True. Older people need the same amount of vitamins as younger people although they need fewer calories . Certain illnesses raise the requirements for some vitamins, but that is true for the young as well as the old.
7 Food grow in poor soil is lower in vitamins than food grown in rich soil.
False. The vitamins in our food are made by the plants themselves. They dont come from the soil. However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.

The main purpose of the passage is _____.
A to list todays standards of food and nutrition
B to introduce what should be eaten and what not
C to explain what is helpful to your health and what is not.
