The best title for this passage would be What does the passage mainly discuss?. 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) 3.1.2 命題特點： 1）段首、段尾句通常是表達文章中心思想的主題句，為?？键c； 2）對比轉折處往往表達作者的真實寫作目的或觀點，是文章的重要內容，為常考點； 3）用一些常見的因果詞，如 because, for, as, since, therefore(因此 ), consequently(結果 ), lead to(導致 )， owing to(由于 ) 引導的因果句用以表達文章主旨，為?？键c。 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) 3.1.3 辨別主題句 一般而言，主題句具有語意完整、形式簡潔、觀點明確的特征，給人以“一言道破”的感覺。在有些文章中，段落主題句和語篇主題句一般位于段落或篇章的開頭部分，開頭就明確主題，然后展開討論；在有些文章中，主題句則出現在段末或篇末，作為由具體事實引出的一般結論。 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) 3.1.4 干擾項的主要特點 1）有些干擾選項只概括了局部信息，即某個自然段中的細節(jié)或某個自然段的大意，在做題時，切記晃一眼就匆忙做選擇； 2）有些干擾選項概括范圍過寬，即選項內容超出或多于文章闡述的內容； 3）有些干擾選項涉及到無關信息，即文章本身無法推斷出來的信息，也就是文章中沒有提到也找不到語言依據的信息。 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) Example 1: The snow was falling very heavily. The sky was very cloudy. The wind was blowing very hardabout 45 miles per hour. It was -18 degrees outside. It was hard to see objects only a few feet in front of you. Q: Which of the following sentences best express the main idea of the paragraph? A. Its cold outside. B. Its winter time. C. The weather was changeable. D. The weather was terrible. 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) Example 2: There is a simple economic principle used to determine prices. It is called the law of supply and demand. Supply means the amount of, or access(接近 )to certain goods. Demand represents the number of people who want those goods. If there are more goods than wanted, the price of them falls. On the other hand, if the demand for those goods is much greater than the supply, then the price rises. Of course, manufacturers prefer to sell more goods at increased prices. 3.1 主旨題 (main idea questions) Q: The title that best expresses the ideas of the passage is_. A. Economic Principle B. Law of Supply and Demand C. More Goods, Lower Prices D. Fewer Goods, Higher Prices 3.2 細節(jié)題 (facts questions) 3.2.1 常見的提問方式有： Which of the following is (not) true? Which of the following is mentioned except? The reason for is that? 3.2 細節(jié)題 (facts questions) 3.2.2 命題特點： 提問方式靈活多變，對象涉及到短文的各種具體細節(jié)，如時間、地點、原因、結果、方式等等。但有一個共同特點，答案一般都能在文章當中直接找到。有時候，命題者為了增加考題的難度，會有意避開文中所用的詞匯，而用該詞的同義詞或相近的短語。在這種情況下，考生就需要根據題目所涉及的細節(jié)，在文中找到出處，對比選項后再作答。 3.2 細節(jié)題 (facts questions) 3.2.3 語言標志詞： 1）與主旨大意有關的重要事實或細節(jié)的詞 ,如for example, that is, it is essential等 2）表示因果關系的詞 ,如 because, since, so, as a result, derive from（來自 ,起源于） 3）表示轉折對立關系的詞 ,如 while, however, but, although, yet, still, in fact, on the other hand, on the contrary等 3.2 細節(jié)題 (facts questions) Example : One of the most important weapons used during the Second World War was not a weapon used against people, but rather a drug used against disease. The wartime use of penicillin(盤尼西林 ) saved thousands of lives. In the First World War, for example, pneumonia(肺炎 ) was responsible for eighteen percent of all the deaths in the United States army. In the Second World War, the rate went down to less than one percent. In addition, penicillin was instrumental in keeping wounds from getting infected and in helping to speed the healing process of those wounds that did become infected. 3.2 細節(jié)題 (facts questions) Q 1: According to the passage, one of the leading causes of death during the first World War was _. A. gas B. accidents C. disease D. drugs Q 2: According to the passage, penicillin was useful in the Second World War for all of the following purposes except _.

Some stars have used up all their fuel. They are called “dead stars”. Scientists believe these stars must be very large and heavy, because they seem to push and pull other stars around them. Since we cannot see these dead stars, how do we know that they exist? Scientists can determine their existence by studying the movements of stars that do shine. Q: The story implies, but does not directly state that dead stars _. A. affect other stars B. are too far away to be seen C. force all smaller stars away D. do reflect light 3.3 推斷題 (inference questions) Example 2: Each day every person in the United States throws away more than five pounds of garbage(垃圾 ). There is more garbage now than ever before and most of it is made up of the packages and cans in which we buy our food. The traditional way of getting rid of solid wastes is quickly becoming inadequate. Many cities are doing experiment with newer ways of handling their piles of garbage. One of these new ways is “recycling”(回收利用 ). Through recycling usable materials are taken out of garbage and made into something else. These usable parts of garbage are put through the cycle of going from a row material to a finished product again. 3.3 推斷題 (inference questions) Q 1: Traditionally, garbage is thought to be _. A. a worthless burden to big cities B. something that can be reused C. a raw material for making new products D. able to recycle but difficult to handle Q 2: A lot of cities are trying new ways to treat garbage mainly because _.

Big flakes drifted with the wind like feathers. 雪正下著， 鵝毛般 的雪花隨風飛舞。 分析 ：根據 like feathers的比喻意義引出對 flakes的釋義，即“薄片” 3.4.2 幾種推測詞義的方法： 4）利用對照關系 例如 ： Mary is talkative, but her sister is reticent. 瑪麗很 健談 ，但她的姐姐 沉默寡言 。 分析 ：由 but可知，兩句話是相反的意思。從 talkative(健談的 )可推出 reticent（沉默寡言的）。 3.4.2 幾種推測詞義的方法： 5）利用常識 例如 ： The door was so low that I hit my head on the lintel. 門太低以至于我的頭撞到了 門梁 上。 分析 ：根據常識我們知道門的上面應該是門梁，由此可知“ lintel” 的意思。 3.4.2 幾種推測詞義的方法： 4、實 戰(zhàn) 練 習 Passage 1（ P395 大學英語 B考試大綱附題型示例） Is teaching important?
