考點主:旨大意題要求學生在理解全文后歸納文章要點，概括中心思想，因此需要學生能夠分析文章的

內(nèi)容篇章結(jié)構(gòu),抓住文章開頭的主題或文章最后的結(jié)論，從而找出文章主旨或文章的標題。

分析解讀1.主旨大意題有一個明顯的特點：要求學生通讀全文，從四個選項中選出最佳

標題或能夠說明文章或段落大意的選項。通常情況下，考查對象分為兩大類：即篇章主旨和

段落主旨。篇章主旨是針對全文主題進行提問，而段落主旨是針對某?段落或幾個段落的主

題進行提問。

2.主旨大意題考杳的是學生對文章內(nèi)容的深層次理解,它要求學生必須在充分理解全文

的前提卜.，梳理出整篇文章的主旨大意。它既考杳閱讀理解能力，又考查深層次的推理、概

括能力,所以在閱讀理解試題中難度相對較大。課標全國卷近五年考查主旨大意題的題量相

????????????????????

對較少，但考查深度、難度卻不斷增加，解題時需對文章的主旨大意進行綜合、歸納、推斷后

方可得出正確答案?？疾樾问接珊唵蔚闹黝}歸納變得綜合性越來越強，同時文章的跳躍性強，

隱含信息增多,常以標題歸納的形式出現(xiàn),這就要求學生在理解文章主旨大意的基礎(chǔ)上注意

標題的三個特點:概括性、針對性和醒目性。
