1、 十一、主旨大意—— 文章/ 段落大意題 (2018·江蘇，B) In the 1760s，Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted(享有) a special meat soup called consommé.Although the main attraction was the soup，Roze’s chain shops also set a new standard for dining out，which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the m

2、odern restaurant. Today，scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants.Take visual hints that influence what we eat：diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta(意大利面食) when their plates matched their food.When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate

3、rather than a white one，customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty. Lighting matters，too.When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness，they couldn’t tell how much they’d had：those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else，but were none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller，and they

4、 were just as ready for dessert. Time is money，but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants.Unlike fast-food places，fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend.One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round：put on some Mozart(莫扎特)．W

5、hen classical，rather than pop，music was playing，diners spent more.Fast music hurried diners out.Particular scents also have an effect：diners who got the scent of lavender(薰衣草) stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon，or no scent. Meanwhile，things that you might expect to discourage

6、 spending—“bad” tables，crowding，high prices—don’t necessarily.Diners at bad tables—next to the kitchen door，say—spent nearly as much as others but soon fled.It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not “be overly concerned about ‘bad’ tables”， given that they’re profitable.As for crowds，a Ho

7、ng Kong study found that they increased a restaurant’s reputation，suggesting great food at fair prices.And doubling a buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier. 語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。它主要通過引入現(xiàn)代餐館的鼻祖馬蒂蘭·羅茲制訂的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以及學(xué)者對于餐館的研究來介紹現(xiàn)代餐館在經(jīng)營中影響食客消費(fèi)的幾個(gè)要素：視覺要素(餐具、燈光)、聽覺要素(音樂)、嗅覺要素(氣味)、其他要

8、素(桌位、擁擠程度和價(jià)格)。素材旨在通過現(xiàn)代餐館的經(jīng)營理念，讓考生了解西方現(xiàn)代餐館的經(jīng)營之道。 58．The underlined phrase “none the wiser” in Paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were . A．not aware of eating more than usual B．not willing to share food with others C．not conscious of the food quality D．not fond of th

9、e food provided 答案　A 解析　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“...those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else，but were none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller...”可知，那些被給以大份飯菜的食客比其他人吃得多，但他們沒有飽腹感，這說明在黑暗的就餐環(huán)境下，食客并沒有意識(shí)到自己比平時(shí)吃得多，所以none the wiser意為“不清楚，不知道”。故選A項(xiàng)。 59．How could a fine dining shop make more profit?

10、 A．Playing classical music. B．Introducing lemon scent. C．Making the light brighter. D．Using plates of larger size. 答案　A 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“When classical，rather than pop，music was playing，diners spent more.”可知，當(dāng)演奏古典音樂而不是流行音樂的時(shí)候，食客們會(huì)花更多的錢。spent more就是對題干中make more profit的語義轉(zhuǎn)化。故選A項(xiàng)。 60．What does t

11、he last paragraph talk about? A．Tips to attract more customers. B．Problems restaurants are faced with. C．Ways to improve restaurants’ reputation. D．Common misunderstandings about restaurants. 答案　D 解析　段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段首句“Meanwhile，things that you might expect to discourage spending—‘bad’tables，crowd

12、ing，high prices—don’t necessarily.”可知，你可能認(rèn)為會(huì)打消你消費(fèi)的念頭的東西——位置“不好”的桌位、擁擠和價(jià)格高——未必如此(指在某些人看來，這些不利因素未必不會(huì)帶來利潤的增加)。由此可知，作者認(rèn)為這些對于餐館的常見的觀點(diǎn)是一種誤解，故選D項(xiàng)。 一、文章大意題的題型解讀 說明文、記敘文、議論文三種文體涉及的多種話題如社會(huì)文化類、人物故事類、科普說明類，多會(huì)考查文章大意類題。設(shè)問形式常有： (1)What is the main theme/topic/idea of this passage? (2)The passage is mainly ab

13、out . (3)The general/main idea of the passage is . (4)The passage mainly focuses on . 二、文章大意題的解題技巧——“主題句定位”尋主旨 文章是由段落組成的。段落的主題就是段落的中心思想，具體段落的中心思想又是為文章整體中心思想服務(wù)的。理解整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在理解具體段落中心的基礎(chǔ)上的。找出每小段的主題句，各段的主題句常在該段的首句或尾句，各段主題句的整體歸納便是文章的中心思想。有的文章無明顯主題句，主題句隱含在段意之中，這就需要進(jìn)一步加工概括

14、。觀察全文的結(jié)構(gòu)安排，理解文章的“重心”和支撐性細(xì)節(jié)。 主題句的位置一般有以下幾種： (1)主題句出現(xiàn)在文首。開門見山，提出主題，用細(xì)節(jié)來解釋或拓展主題句所表達(dá)的主題思想，是最常見的演繹法寫作方式。新聞報(bào)道、說明文或議論文通常采用這種寫法。 (2)主題句出現(xiàn)在文末。在表述細(xì)節(jié)后，歸納要點(diǎn)以概括主題，是最常見的歸納法寫作方式。 (3)主題句首尾呼應(yīng)。為突出主題，作者先提出主題，結(jié)束時(shí)再次點(diǎn)出主題。 (4)主題句出現(xiàn)在中間。寫作方式為：細(xì)節(jié)描述——?dú)w納主題——進(jìn)一步解釋。 以下是找主題句的四個(gè)小竅門： 1．段落中出現(xiàn)表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞語(如however，but，in fact，actua

15、lly等)時(shí)，該句很可能是主題句。 2．首段出現(xiàn)疑問句時(shí)，對該問題的回答很可能就是文章主旨。 3．作者有意識(shí)地重復(fù)的觀點(diǎn)，通常是主旨；反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞語，一般為體現(xiàn)文章主旨的關(guān)鍵詞。 4．表示總結(jié)或結(jié)論的句子常包含therefore，thus，in short，conclude，conclusion等詞。 三、段落大意題的題型解讀 段落大意類題型多在說明文和議論文中所涉及的各類話題如社會(huì)文化類、科普說明類等進(jìn)行考查。設(shè)問形式常有： (1)The main idea of the second paragraph probably is . (2)What is the

16、 main idea of the first paragraph? (3)The first paragraph is mainly about . 四、段落大意題的解題技巧  (1)段首：說明文和議論文中的主題句常在段首句  (2)段尾：先表述細(xì)節(jié)，后歸納概括，段落中心在段尾   (3)段中間：先用一句或幾句話引出要表達(dá)的主題，再陳述主題，再論述細(xì)節(jié)，即引出主題→段落中心→再論述  (4)沒有明顯段落中心時(shí)，需概括段落內(nèi)容，總結(jié)段落中心 例如：真題感悟中第60題，根據(jù)文章最后一段首句“Meanwhil

17、e，things that you might expect to discourage spending—‘bad’ tables，crowding，high prices—don’t necessarily.”可知，你可能認(rèn)為會(huì)打消你消費(fèi)的念頭的東西——位置“不好”的桌位、擁擠和價(jià)格高——未必如此(指在某些人看來，這些不利因素未必不會(huì)帶來利潤的增加)。由此可知，作者認(rèn)為這些對于餐館的常見的觀點(diǎn)是一種誤解，故選D項(xiàng)。 A Most of us have lost our wallet at some stage in our lives.But few would imagine h

18、aving it returned after a nearly seven-decade gap.Edward Parker dropped his wallet in 1950 into an inaccessible spot behind a bookshelf，while working as an electrician，repairing World War Two bomb damage in the palace.The wallet stayed there until this year when a builder，doing some 1restoration wor

24、時(shí)，不慎將錢包丟失。直到今年，錢包被一名宮廷修復(fù)工人發(fā)現(xiàn)。錢包里的物品充滿了那個(gè)年代的回憶，89歲的愛德華·帕克重新拿到錢包，非常開心。 1．We can possibly infer that Edward Parker .

25、d Parker dropped his wallet in 1950 into an inaccessible spot behind a bookshelf，while working as an electrician，repairing World War Two bomb damage in the palace.”可知，Edward Parker曾是一名electrician(電工)，因此A項(xiàng)正確。 2．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

27、 medical insurance card(醫(yī)?？?，business cards(名片)等物品，可知A項(xiàng)表述片面，B、D項(xiàng)未提及，僅C項(xiàng)符合題意。故選C。 3．What does the underlined word “disintegrate” in the second paragraph mean? A．2Maintain. B．Damage. C．Disappear. D．Destroy. 答案　B 解析　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“But it contains...(但是，錢包里有……)”可知，錢包外皮還在，排除C、D項(xiàng)，A項(xiàng)“維護(hù)”，不符合文意；B項(xiàng)“

D．Medical card. 答案　D 解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第三句中的“but his medical card contained two places of residence”可知，他的醫(yī)?？ㄉ嫌袃蓚€(gè)住址，此處明確了醫(yī)?？ㄊ钦?/p>

29、到主人的關(guān)鍵物品。故選D。 B In third-world countries such as Swaziland and Haiti，a 15-dollar invention is making a world of difference.Nokero，a company started by Brian Rants，sells lamps that do not require kerosene(煤油)．These solar lamps have become a staple(主流產(chǎn)品) in countries in Africa，to provide light for

30、reading and safety at night. Nokero has sold over 500,000 lamps in over 120 countries since it was first founded in 2010 and Rants thinks the demand for his product will only continue to increase.Most lamps found in third-world countries 3currently require kerosene to run，but kerosene causes indoor

31、 pollution and has been linked to fires that have caused over a million deaths. Instead of experiencing the effects of smoking 40 cigarettes a day from kerosene lamps，Rants thinks his solar lamps could be the answer for third-world countries.The Economist agrees，calling solar lights “the next big 4

32、innovation for the world’s poor”．Nokero’s solar lamps are higher in quality and less expensive than a lot of solar technology，making them a practical 6option for many people in third-world countries. Rather than giving solar lamps to individuals in need，Nokero’s 7mission is to make them 5affordable

33、.Through research Rants has realized that individuals who buy a solar product would take better care of it and value it more than if they received it for free.Families who buy Nokero’s solar lamps make up the cost in just a few months of not having to buy kerosene or pay for off-the-grid electricity

34、. Some activists have attacked companies such as Nokero for selling products to the poor rather than simply giving them out for free.They argue that these companies unfairly profit from the poor.However，Rants disagrees.Families receive a product that is much higher in quality than what they might r

35、eceive for free and feel a sense of ownership having purchased it for themselves. 語篇解讀　本文主要介紹了由Nokero公司發(fā)明的不需要煤油的太陽能燈具，這些太陽能燈已經(jīng)成為非洲國家的主流產(chǎn)品，為夜間的閱讀和安全提供照明。 5．What do we know about the solar lamps in the passage?

36、 day. C．They are given to the individuals free of charge. D．They help to save kerosene in third-world countries. 答案　A 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段末句“Most lamps found in third-world countries currently require kerosene to run，but kerosene causes indoor pollution and has been linked to fires that have caused ov

37、er a million deaths.”可知，這種太陽能燈既節(jié)約能源，又沒有污染。故選A。 6．According to Rants，if the poor are given the lamps for free，they . A．will have to pay for kerosene or electricity B．won’t take good care of or value the lamps C．will feel a sense of ownership of the lamps D．won’t help to increase the sale

38、s of the lamps 答案　B 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句“Through research Rants has realized that individuals who buy a solar product would take better care of it and value it more than if they received it for free.”可知，如果免費(fèi)送給窮人這種燈，他們就不會(huì)好好珍惜它們了。故選B。 7．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．An innovation of the world.

39、 B．Advantages of the solar lights. C．Solution to world’s poverty problems. D．Heavy pollution caused by kerosene lamps. 答案　B 解析　段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段所說Nokero的太陽能燈質(zhì)量更好，價(jià)格也比很多太陽能技術(shù)的燈便宜，適合發(fā)展中國家的人們使用，所以可知該段主要介紹了這種太陽能燈的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。故選B。 Ⅰ.障礙詞匯突破 (一)閱讀下列句子，并根據(jù)句意猜測畫線部分的意思 1．We’d better do some restoration work t

58、a from their latest study.It was designed to test what would happen to bees if they fed on crops treated with neonicotinoids.“I didn’t expect to see any effect at all，to be honest，” says Rundl?f. Honeybees weren’t greatly affected by the chemicals in crops，the study suggested.But the data on bumble

59、bees told a different story.Bumblebee colonies that hadn’t fed on the treated crops looked normal：they were packing on weight to survive the winter.But in the colonies exposed to neonicotinoids，the growth chart was a fat line. When the Swedish study was published in April 2015，it made headlines aro

60、und the world.It was the first to show that neonicotinoids—known as neonics—could harm bees in a real-world farming situation.Bee populations are declining in many parts of the globe，a worrying sign for the crops and wild plants that rely on these bees for their survival.Parasites(寄生蟲)，diseases and

61、shrinking food resources are all prime suspects.But a link to neonics has become a major flashpoint. Even before Rundl?f’s results were revealed，the European Union had placed heavy restrictions on three most widely used neonics in flowering crops—plants that might be attractive to bees—among rising

62、 concerns that the chemicals might harm pollinators(傳粉者)．But farmers，the agrochemical industry and some scientists pointed out that these were based on limited evidence，gathered mostly from lab tests. Since Rundl?f’s paper，studies showing real-world evidence of harm from pesticides in the field hav

63、e been mounting—and environmental organizations have demanded wide-ranging bans.Regulatory agencies will soon decide what to do about neonics，which have a global market worth more than US 1.5 billion per year.This month，the EU’s European Food Safety Authority is due to complete a re-evaluation of ev

64、idence for restricting neonics；the EU will then need to decide what action to take.France has passed a law that would ban neonics in 2018. But industry groups and some scientists say the evidence still isn’t conclusive.The picture in complicated：some studies show harm to some bees in some circumsta
