阅读理解考试答题思路（1）

根据《大学荚语教学大纲》的规定，CET4&6中的阅读理解部分主要测试四个方面，九个层次，具体表现为6种题型。①主旨题(包括大意)；②细节题(包括事实)；③词义题(包括词汇和短语)；④逻辑题(包括句或句群)；⑤推理题(包括引申)；⑥观点题(包括态度)。

一 题型分析

1. 有关主旨题的解题思路

主旨题的目的是检查对短文整体理解概括的能力。上海道正认为一般文章，尤其是说明文和议论文，往往有主题句表明中心思想，段中有段旨句展开段落中心。主题句通常在短文的开始或结尾，少数出现在文中，了解这一点，答主旨题往往会迎刃而解。有的文章，记述某个人物或事件，往往没有主题句，要靠综合文章，分析推理才能得出文章主旨，更要细心阅读。根据上海道正学校教学经验可知考生失误的重要原因之一是把太笼统或太具体、未能恰当反映文章整体思想的选项看作正确答案。还有一点有必要明确，历来试卷中的阅读理解短文均无标题，考生必须通过自己阅读理解，了解文章的主旨大意，而主旨大意的了解，意义远远超越答主旨题，因为答其他题往往也会涉及主旨。从这个意义上讲，不管本篇是否有主旨题，每篇都应了解主旨，养成这一良好习惯十分有益。
