　　方法与思考

　　本节聚焦：阅读理解答题策略(四)

　　如何提炼主旨大意

　　“main idea”型主旨大意题也属于阅读理解中的深层理解题。这种题型中的干扰项通常和文章中的某一细节有关，因此许多考生往往只根据文中的某一信息盲目确定答案。

　　(1)运用略读法迅速浏览全文，特别注意文章的首句、尾句，或各段落的首句和尾句。

　　(2)找准主题句。主题句通常是在一个段落的段首或段尾，偶尔在段落的中间。有的文章无明显的主题句，主题句隐含在段意之中。

　　(3)任何一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，文章中往往会反复出现某个中心词，即高频词，也称主题词。抓住主题词，对于理解文章的主旨大意会很有帮助。

　　典例

　　(2011·北京高考)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电) and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.

　　The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management, with the completion of the interstate highway system many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.

　　Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West, this is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.

　　So trade­offs will have to be made. Some scenic sports will be sacrificed. Some species (物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.

　　The lasting effects of these trade­offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.

　　The money set aside in negotiated

　　trade­offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west.

　　1．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?

　　A．The transmission of power.

　　B.The use of money and power.

　　C．The conservation of solar energy.

　　D.The selection of an ideal place.

　　解析：主旨大意题。文章或段落的主题作者往往会反复论述。根据文章倒数第二段The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good.不难看出power and money是其主要关注的问题，因此B项正确。

　　答案：B

　　2．Which is the best title for the passage?

　　A．How the Railways Have Affected the West.

　　B．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West.

　　C．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced.

　　D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled.

　　解析：选择标题——考查主旨大意的方法之一。文章的标题是中心思想最精炼的表达形式，它短小、恰当且醒目。通读全文，特别是从文章首句我们不难看出本文主要讲述美国西部建设中存在的电力问题以及在西部建造太阳能发电站的可行性问题，故B项为最佳选项。

　　答案：B

　　误区警示：对于主旨大意题，我们要准确地把握短文的主要内容，既不能以局部细节代替全部，也不能表达得太宽泛或涵盖范围过大，贴切准确是最主要的。比如选择标题性题目，我们可以采用逆向思维法去验证，即通过你选的题目，能否想到本文的主要内容。
