概要写作

概要是包含文本主要信息的简本，其目的是向读者提供有关文章大意的简短而清晰的

报告。目前，高考试题中的概要写作要求考生根据一篇350词以内的短文，写出一篇60词

左右的内容概要。概要既要用词准确，结构合理，语义连贯，不得抄写原文，又要能完全概

括出文章的主旨大意。

［写作步骤］

第一步：归纳主旨大意（含段落大意）

1.概要写作的第一步便是阅读短文并抓取主题，进而提取主旨大意，即有关该主题的

主要内容或作者在该主题上的观点或主张。归纳主旨大意，是为了整体上把握语篇要义，有

利于区分主次、剔除细节信息。

2.确定段落主旨句时，要兼顾语篇大背景，即在全文主旨大意的统领下归纳段落主旨，

将段落主旨纳入语篇主旨的架构中。不是所有的段落都有现成的段落主旨句，有的段落主旨

句需要根据段落内容予以归纳和概括。

阅读语篇时，根据不同的文体可采取以下方法归纳主旨大意：

圈出记叙文的六要素（who,when,where,what,how,why）；如果是夹叙夹议文,

记叙文

还要写出故事给读者带来的启示或寓意

说明文找出文章要说明的对象、观点或建议

议论文提取议论文的三要素（论点、论据、结论）

第二步：提炼关键词

1.结合主旨大意，细读段落，找出每个段落的主旨句和关键词，区别段落中哪些是main

ideas,哪些是supportingideas,examples和additionalinformation。通常是在相对

重要的句子中提炼关键词。正确的关键词和关键句是概要写作最重要的内容和依据。

2.削减事例，尽量减少实例并省略细节。

第三步：合并和改写

1.合并信息首先需要对信息进行分类、整合，找到信息之间的联系，再将联系紧密的

信息合并在一起。同一层级的主旨句不宜合并在一起，但如果联系紧密，且没有支持的细节

信息，可以考虑合并。

2.在核心信息的基础上进行语言表达形式的改写，对原文的语言表达形式尽可能实现

大规模的改变（改词、换句型）。

第四步：核查成文

核查连贯性,优先考虑使用最短连接词（but,then,later,finally,besides,thus,

therefore,yet,however）；核查标点和语法；核查词数，并最终连句成文。

［注意事项］

1.词数要限制在60左右.

2.要根据文章的体裁特点进行概要写作。

3.人称和时态要与所给文章中的人称和时态保持一致，但必要时也可变换成第三人称。

4.写作时尽可能地使用自己的语言，不得照搬照抄原文。

曰以致用「

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
