例2
The vegetable and fruit and flower merchants are surrounded by baskets of purple eggplants,green peppers,strings of tiny silvery onions,heads of bitter Indian spinach,and a dozen Indian vegetables for which I don't even know the English names.I had forgotten about the profusion of fruit in India-it is only during the brief intense summer that you see much variety of fruit in Moscow.In Russia,as winter approaches all vegetables except for potatoes and the pervasive cabbage in soup seem to disappear from the menus.
主题句在中间的第二句"I had forgotten about the profusion of fruit in India-it is only during the brief intense summer that you see much variety of fruit in Moscow."
例3
People live in cities today think that meat is something that comes wrapped in cellophane from the supermarket,potatoes come by the pound in plastic or paper bags,and feather grows in hats.
The city dwellers' views are quite different from the views of theft ancestors,who know that meat is hunted down in the forest,potatoes are planted and weeded,and only birds can produce feathers.
Yet,whether people today realize it or not,they are still as dependent on animals and plants for their existence as their ancestors were.
主题句为最后一句"Yet,whether people today realize it or not,they are still as dependent on animals and plants for their existence as their ancestors were."
以上为了叙述的方便并考虑到篇幅的限制,只选单段短文为例。实际上阅读理解题中大部分是多段短文,但主题句一般出现在起始段。
B.概括和归纳出主题思想。实际上,在阅读理解测试部分有的文章是没有主题句的。这是由于文章的体裁不同或是由于阅读的短文是从长篇文章中节选的。这时就要靠应试者自己进行概括或归纳隐含的主题思想了。概括主题可以从归纳每段的要点开始(大部分阅读理解短文都是由数段组成),最后将各段要点集中概括并归纳出全文的主题思想。下面不妨考查几个例子。
