1. 主旨大意题
这类考题旨在考查考生对文章主旨大意的理解和概括归纳能力。考题中往往出现下列词汇：subject, topic, theme, title, main idea, purpose等等，这类考题的设问特点可以大致归纳为以下几个方面：
1．就文章的写作目的，或人物或事件提问；
2．就文章的标题提问；
3. 就全文或某段的中心思想或主题提问。(北京安通学校提供)
这类题的提问主要有以下几种：
1．What is mainly discussed in this passage?
2．What is the author´s main concern?
3．The main idea of this passage maybe best expressed as__________.
4．The selection informs us that_________.
5.Which sentence contains a statement of the theme?
6．The best title for this passage could be ___________.
7．The article was written to explain ___________.
8．The main purpose of this article is to explain __________.
9．In this passage the author tries to interpret ___________.
10．The topic of the passage is _________.
11．The passage (or paragraph) mainly deals with _________.
在阅读时应该注意文章的主旨句和每段的主题句。文章的中心思想往往是每段的主题句的综合。另外，干扰选项的特点多是以偏概全，只说到文中的某一点而不能全面概括文章的中心思想，或是范围太大，超出了文章的中心内容。所以在做主旨题时，我们先可以略读，找出每段的主题句，然后将主题句综合起来就是文章的中心思想。在选择答案时，根据自己总结的大意，就可以用排除法将干扰选项剔除。请看下面几例。(北京安通学校提供)
