如果一篇文章的第一段是独句段（也就是一句话），那么本文的主旨就是本句话所表述的内容。【例题】(Para.1)BillGates,themillionaireMicrosoftchairmanwithoutasingleearneduniversitydegree,isbyhissuccessraisingnewdoubtsabouttheworthofthebusinessworld’sfavoriteacademictitle:MBA(MasterofBusinessAdministration).3.Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?Adebateheldrecentlyoncollegecampus.B.ThereasonofanincreasedenrollmentinMBAprograms.C.DoubtsabouttheworthofholdinganMBAdegree.D.ThenecessityofimprovingMBAprogramsincollege.【答案】C（3）重心转移法

如果一篇文章的第一段先表述一件事情，然后在本段或者第二段的句首出现转折词，进而表述另一件事情，那么本文的主旨就是转折词之后所陈述的内容。表示转折语意的词有however,yet,nevertheless,onthecontrary,bycontrast,ontheotherhand等。【例题】(Para.1)Duringthepastgeneration,theAmericanmiddle-classfamilythatoncecouldcountonhardworkandfairplaytokeepitselffinanciallysecurehasbeentransformedbyeconomicriskandnewrealities.Atpresent,however,apinkslip,abaddiagnosis,oradisappearingspousecanreduceafamilyfromsolidlymiddleclasstoanewlypoorinafewmonths.4.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthistext?A.TheMiddleClassontheAlertB.TheMiddleClassontheCliffC.TheMiddleClassinConflictD.TheMiddleClassinRuins【答案】B

如果作者在一篇文章的开头举例、引用数据、叙述个人经历、描述问题，其目的显然是要通过举例等手法来导出文章的主题。通常情况下，这类文章的主题会在第一段的最后一句或者第二段的第一句表述。【例题】(Para.1)WhenThomasKeller,oneofAmerican’sforemostchefs,announcedthatonSept.1sthewouldabolishthepracticeoftippingatPer.Se.,hisluxuryrestaurantinNewYorkCityandreplaceitwithEuropean-styleservicecharge.Iknewthreegroupswouldbeopposed:customers,serversandrestaurantowners.Thesethreegroupsareallcommittedtotipping---astheyquicklymadeclearonwebsites.Toopposetipping,itseems,istobeanti-capitalistandmaybeevenalittleFrench.ButMr.Kellerisrighttomoveawayfromtipping---andit’sworthexploringwhyjustabouteveryoneelseintherestaurantworldiswrongtostickwiththepractice.5.Thepassageismainlyabout____.A.reasonstoabolishthepracticeoftippingB.economicsenseoftippingC.consumers’attitudetowardstippingD.tippingforgoodservice【答案】A【例题】(Para.1)Accordingtoarecentsurveyonmoneyandrelationships,36percentofpeoplearekeepingabankaccountfromtheirpartner.Whilethisfinancialunfaithfulnessmayappearasdistrustinarelationship,intruthitmayjustbeaformoffinancialprotection.6.Whichofthefollowingbestsummarizesthispassage?A.SecretSaversB.LoveIsWhatIt’sWorthC.BankingHonestyD.OnceBitten,TwiceShy【答案】A（5）类比开头法

如果一篇文章开头或者第一段涉及一项内容，最后或者第二段开头用到‘Nowthesamethingishappeningto…’，‘Nowthereissimilar…’，’Likewise,…’等表示类似或者相同的情况发生在另一对象，这时我们就可以认为本文主要内容是涉及后一项内容。【例题】Americansdon’tliketolosewars.Ofcourse,alotdependonhowyoudefinejustwhatawaris.Thereareshootingwars---thekindthattestpatriotismandcourage---andthosearethekindatwhichtheU.S.excels.Butotherstrugglestestthosequalities,too.WhatelsewastheGreatDepressionorthespaceraceortheconstructionoftherailroads?IfAmericaindulgesinabitofflag---whenthejobisdone,theyearnedit.Nowthereisasimilarchallenge.8.Whatdoesthepassagemainlydiscuss?A.HumanwarsB.EconomiccrisisC.America’senvironmentalpoliciesD.Globalenvironmentingeneral【答案】A（6）各段分述法

有些文章的第一段可能并没有采用以上方法来揭示主题，可以考虑本篇文章是否采用了‘各段分述，围绕主题’的方法。即：文章的各个段落分别叙述或者介绍主题的而一个方面，进而各个段落一起完成对主题的论证、介绍。描写等。各个段落的主题一般都会在该段的首句表述。Arapidmeansoflong-distancetransportationbecameanecessityfortheUnitedStatesassettlementspreadeverfartherwestward.Theearlytrainswereimpracticalcuriosities,andforalongtimetherailroadcompaniesmetwithtroublesomemechanicalproblems.Themostseriousonesweretheconstructionofrailsabletobeartheload,andthedevelopmentofasafe,effectivestoppingsystem.Oncetheseweresolved,therailroadwasestablishedasthebestmeansoflandtransportation.By1860therewerethousandsofmilesofrailroadscrossingtheeasternmountainrangesandreachingwestwardtotheMississippi.Therewerealsoregionalsouthernandwesternlines.Thehighpointinrailroadbuildingcamewiththeconstructionofthefirsttranscontinentalsystem.In1862CongressauthorizedtwowesternrailroadcompaniestobuildlinesfromNebraskawestwardandfromCaliforniaeastwardtoameetingpoint,soastocompleteatranscontinentalcrossinglinkingtheAtlanticseaboardwiththePacific.TheGovernmenthelpedtherailroadsgenerouslywithmoneyandland.Actualworkonthisprojectbeganfouryearslater.TheCentralPacificCompany,startingfromCalifornia,usedChineselabors,whiletheUnionPacificemployedcrewsofIrishLabors.Thetwogroupsworkedatremarkablespeed,eachtryingtocoveragreaterdistancethantheother.In1869theymetataplacecalledPromontoryinwhatisnowUtah.Manyvisitorscamethereforthegreatoccasion.Therewerejoyouscelebrationsalloverthecountry,withparadesandtheringingofchurchbellstohonorthegreatachievement.Therailroadwasveryimportantinencouragingwestwardmovement.Italsohelpedbuildupindustryandfarmingbymovingrawmaterialandbydistributingproductsrapidlytodistantmarkets.InlinkingtownsandpeopletooneanotherithelpedunifiedtheUnitedStates.9.Thebesttitleforthispassagewouldbe____.A.SettlementsSpreadWestwardB.TheCoast-to-CoastRailroad:AVitalLinkC.AmericanRailroadHistoryD.TheImportanceofRailroadsIntheAmericanEconomy【答案】B2细节题之一：原因题的解题技巧1Theprojectcannotbelaunchednowbecause____.2KrisCarrmadeupnamesforthepeoplewhotreatherbecause____.3Inthefirstparagraph,DamienHirst’ssalewasreferredtoas‘alastvictory’because____.4Theauthorattributesthephenomenonof‘goldenskirts’to____.5Accordingtothepassage,downshiftingemergedintheU.S.asaresultof____.6WhytheWesternleaderspreachfreetrade?7WhywasitpossibleforAmericanstouseaone-dollarbillforadollar’sworthofsilver?8WhyhaveAmericansemoreobese?（1）句内陈述原因法

A）because(of),for,since,nowthat,dueto,owingto,thanksto,onaccountof等。B）therefore,thus,hence,accordingly,consequently,asaresult等。C）berelatedto,belinkedto,beconnectedwith,havesomething(much,alot)todowith等。比如：Thehigherdeathrateofteenagerdrivershasmuchtodowiththeirlackofdrivingexperience.D）beresponsiblefor,beblamedfor(betoblame)等。比如：Theweatherisresponsibleforthedelay.E）be(as)aresponseto,be(as)areactionto等。比如：InAmericathetrendstartedasareactiontotheeconomicdecline.F)leadto,resultin,bringabout,contributeto,giveriseto等。这些词语都表达“导致，酿成”之意，是比较明显的表达因果关系的信号词。

定语是对中心词的限制或者修饰，表述中心词的特征、性质等内容。通过对定语部分的理解我们可以推断出中心词或其修饰语的词义。It’stheorytowhichmanyeconomistssubscribe,butinpracticeitoftenleavesrailroadsinthepositionofdeterminingwhichcompanieswillflourishandwhichwillfail.‘Dowereallywantrailroadstobethearbiterstodecidewhowinsandwholosesinthemarketplace’?18.Theword‘arbiters’(line7,para.4)mostprobablyreferstothose____.A.whoworksascoordinatorsB.whofunctionasjudgesC.whosupervisetransactionsD.whodeterminetheprice【答案】B（2）重述推断法重述推断法或者定义推断法或者解释推断法，都是利用上下文的语意相关关系推断词义的方法。当作者在一个陈述句中使用了比较生僻或者专业的属于时，他会有意无意地在下一句对其作出解释，可以利用这种语篇的衔接与连贯关系对句中的某个词义完成推断。Thatis也就是说Thatistosay也就是说Inotherwords换句话说Putitinanotherway换句话说另外，标点符号‘：’和‘---’也有标志解释的功能。【例题】Ifspellingestheonlyfocalpointofhisteacher’sinterest,clearlyabrightchildwillbeliketo‘playsafe’.Hewilltendtowriteonlywordswithinhisspellingrange,choosingtoavoidadventurouslanguage.19.Theexpression‘playsafe’probablymeans____.A.towriteascarefullyaspossibleB.todoasteachersaytobesafeC.tousedictionariesfrequentlyD.toavoidusingwordsoneisnotsureof【答案】D【例题】Thenshepickedupthephoneandcalledeveryoneinheraddressbook,askingiftheyknewotheryoungwomenwithcancer.Theresultwasherownpersonal‘cancerposse’:arockconcerttourmanager,amodel,afashionmagazineeditor,acartoonistandaMTVcelebrity,tonameafew.Thisclubof‘cancer’babiesofferedsupport,adviceandfashiontips,amongotherthings.20.Thephrase‘cancerposse’(Line4,Para.3)probablyrefersto____.A.acancerresearchorganizationB.agroupofpeoplewhosufferfromcancerC.peoplewhohavecoveredfromcancerD.peoplewhocopewithcancer【答案】B（3）举例推断法
