托福閱讀核心:抓住主題句與主旨

托福閱讀文章篇幅比較長(zhǎng)，找到了主題句抓住文章的中心，做題就比較容易了，小編整理了一些把握托福閱讀主題的方法，供大家參考學(xué)習(xí)。更多托福學(xué)習(xí)輔導(dǎo)信息歡迎撥打：400-618-0272免費(fèi)咨詢！

一般來(lái)講，任何一個(gè)段落無(wú)論長(zhǎng)短都會(huì)涉及問(wèn)題的一個(gè)方面，也就是說(shuō)每個(gè)段落往往要圍繞一個(gè)主題展開(kāi)。如東一句，西一句，文章的脈絡(luò)就不會(huì)清晰，讀者也就無(wú)從抓住重點(diǎn)。段落無(wú)論長(zhǎng)短都會(huì)有說(shuō)明主題的句子，我們稱它為主題句(Key Sentence / Topic Sentence)。

抓住主題句就等于抓住了段落的中心。因而，準(zhǔn)確判斷并找出主題句相當(dāng)重要。主題句一般會(huì)出現(xiàn)在段首或段尾，起概括全段的作用。主題句也可以出現(xiàn)在段中，同時(shí)還可以首尾呼應(yīng)，段落結(jié)束時(shí)再次強(qiáng)調(diào)本段落的中心思想。請(qǐng)看下面的例子：

Students today socialise in ways quite unlike those of their parents. One of the primary differences is the use and abuse of drugs. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, students were known to smoke the odd joint and occasionally take harder substances, whereas according to recent polls, students today are using ever larger quantities of drugs on an ever more regular basis. Whilst cannabis is still the drug of choice among young people, synthetic drugs such as ecstasy and harder drugs such as cocaine and even heroine are being taken by an increasing number of students. Drugs are much more readily available to students and are much cheaper than ever before.

段首句為主題句：“Students today socialize in ways quite unlike those of their parents.”它揭示了這段的中心思想是“現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生以一種不同于他們父母所采用的方式進(jìn)行著社會(huì)活動(dòng)。”余下的各個(gè)句子都是以具體的事例來(lái)支持說(shuō)明這一中心論點(diǎn)的。

例2：閱讀下面的段落：

We surveyed local residents in three university towns throughout the state to find out their opinions on the students in those towns. We questioned over three thousand people and found that since our last survey three years ago, attitudes towards students have changed considerably. “Lazy,” “scruffy” and “bad-mannered” was how more than 40% of those questioned described students, up from 22% in the last survey. This year only 25% considered students to be “polite” and “friendly” compared with 39% three years ago. Overall, 49% considered students to be a positive part of the town compared to 58% last time.

這次調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，與三年前的一次調(diào)查相比，人們對(duì)于學(xué)生的態(tài)度產(chǎn)生了相當(dāng)大的變化。這是本段的主題。然后用具體的百分比數(shù)字說(shuō)明這一中心觀點(diǎn)。主題句在段落中間。

例3：閱讀下面的段落：

Now let’s look at an interesting example with color. If you own a blue car, you know it is blue, even it is in bright sunlight, in darkness or under a yellow street light. Your eyes tell you that it changes color in these different situations, but your brain knows better. You have learnt that cars don’t change color all time, and so your brain interprets the information your eyes give you.

主題句在段尾：“你的大腦在解釋你的眼睛傳遞給它的信息。”前面有關(guān)藍(lán)色汽車的例子正是為說(shuō)明這一觀點(diǎn)服務(wù)的。

主題句固然可以很好地向讀者說(shuō)明段落的中心思想，但閱讀中我們常常會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，有時(shí)很難在具體的位置找到一個(gè)明顯的能說(shuō)明主題的句子。這時(shí)就需要我們對(duì)段落的整體內(nèi)容進(jìn)行歸納總結(jié)，高度概括提煉出它的中心思想。

注意到了主題句的位置，抓住了主題句，就等于抓住了段落的中心思想。除此之外，閱讀時(shí)還應(yīng)注意一些進(jìn)一步歸納總結(jié)的詞匯和短語(yǔ)的使用以及其他一些措辭，因?yàn)檫@些詞的使用可以就什么是主題為讀者提供有用的線索。
