文章標(biāo)題型
文章標(biāo)題就是對(duì)文章的主要意思的概括,因此,解答這類題的方法與解答主旨要義題的方法基本相同,都是尋找主題句,或歸納主要內(nèi)容。
但主要內(nèi)容題(main idea, mainly about)的選項(xiàng)多用句子的形式,而標(biāo)題多用短語(特別是名詞短語)的形式,且具有以下3個(gè)特點(diǎn):
(1)概括性:準(zhǔn)確而又簡(jiǎn)短。
(2)針對(duì)性:內(nèi)容范圍相符,“帽子”不大不小。
(3)醒目性:新穎奇特,能引發(fā)讀者急迫的閱讀欲望。
推敲選項(xiàng)正誤的4個(gè)小竅門:
1.正確選項(xiàng)一般含有抽象名詞或概括性詞語,不出現(xiàn)細(xì)節(jié)信息,不含過分肯定或絕對(duì)意義的詞。
2.概括全面、范圍一致、說明道理的選項(xiàng)一般是正確答案。
3.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,內(nèi)容完全相反的兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)中往往有一個(gè)是正確答案。
4.干擾項(xiàng)特點(diǎn):
(1) 概括范圍太窄,只含局部信息或某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié);
(2) 概括范圍太寬,所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容超出或多于文章闡述的內(nèi)容;
(3)無關(guān)信息:即文章中未提到、或找不到語言依據(jù)的信息。
經(jīng)典例題
1. It’s not easy, even desperate.
“We have many children left to place: 40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a Paris-based foreign exchange programme called LEC.
When exchange programme started 50 years ago, family life was more accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programs have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30,000 teenagers who annually come from abroad to spend their academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who participate in summer programmes.
Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Exchange Students Keep Old People Young
B. Idea of Hosting Students Is Different
C. Foreign-exchange Program Is Going On
