考点12阅读之主旨大意(解析版)【命题趋势】阅读理解在高考中的比重非常大。所谓“得阅读者得天下”,拿下了阅读就等于拿下了高考的半壁江山。所以提分的重点就在于阅读。而阅读理解中主旨大意题是常考题型,也是容易出错的题型之一。掌握解题步骤,确保主旨大意题的正确率是非常
重要的。【重要考向】一、识别主旨大意题;二、主旨大意题解题方法;考向一识别主旨大意题【典例】【2021年全国乙卷阅读理解B篇】Whenalmosteveryonehasamobilephone,whyaremorethanhalfofA

【参考答案】D推理判断题。根据第一段“Duringaninterviewforoneofmybooks,myinterviewersaidsomethingIstillthinkaboutoften.(在一次采访我的一本书时,我的采访者说了一些我至今还经常想起的话。)”可知,作者提到有人
采访自己的书,所以可以推断,作者是一位作家。故选D项。4.【2021年全国甲卷阅读理解D篇】Whoisagenius?Thisquestionhasgreatlyinterestedhumankindforcentur

niusescomefromthosewith“intelligence,creativity,perseverance,andsimplegeniuses,whoareabletochangetheworld.”(正如一位作家所说,未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和
那些能够改变世界的简单天才。”)”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人,他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。5.【2021年6月浙江卷阅读理解C篇】Ifyouevergettheimpressionthatyourd

究表明,狗可能真地可以辨别人的表情是高兴还是愤怒,紧接着后文又详细介绍了研究过程和结论,即狗能够识别人的表情,且倒数第二段的“Withourstudy,wethinkwecannowconfidentlyconclude
thatatleastsomedogscandistinguishhumanfaciallexpressions”一句明确给出了结论。故选B项。6.【2021年6月浙江卷阅读理解C篇】Atthispoint,itisnotclearwhydogsseemtobeequippedwithth

也就是为什么会有这样的实验研究结论。故选B项。7.【2021年6月浙江卷阅读理解B篇】Weliveinatownwiththreebeaches.Therearetwoparkslessthan10minutes'walkfromhomewhereneighbourh

让孩子们到户外,到大自然中去等,因此C项符合题意。8.【2021年6月浙江卷阅读理解A篇】LeslieNielsen'schildhoodwasadifficultone,buthehadoneparticularshiningstarinhislife-h

%。由此可知,第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。10.【2020全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解D篇】Theconnectionbetweenpeopleandplantshaslongbeenthesubj

arremovedfromthepowersource-suchasthedistancefromapowerplanttostreetlampsonaremotehighway-alotofenergyislostduringtransmis
sion.Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源,例如从发电
厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离,在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离,从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处,因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物,文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程,以及这种植物的一些优势,指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯,达到节约
能源的作用。由此可知,C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗?”最符合文章标题。故选C。11.【2020全国卷Ⅱ阅读理解B篇】Someparentswillbuyanyhigh-techtoyiftheythinkitw

LoveoftheLibrary【参考答案】D主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,文章讲述了作者是一名热情地读者,孩提时喜欢阅读,工作在图书馆。有了孩子以后,一家人去图书馆读书,阅读的习惯代代传承下去,作为小说家,作者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆,宣传图书馆。因此推断全文围绕“作者对图书馆的爱”展
开讲述。故D项“我对图书馆的爱”为最佳标题。故选D。13.【2020全国卷III阅读理解B篇】Thecreativeteambehind"Apes"usedmotion-capture(动作捕捉)technologytocreatedigitalizedani

动物,在记录演员表演的技术上,花费数千万美元,然后用电脑图形处理,以产生最终的影像。由此可知,第二段主要是关于数字化人猿的创造。故选B项。14.【2020全国卷III阅读理解C篇】Withtheyoungunabletoaffordtoleav

,尤其根据第一段“Withtheyoungunabletoaffordtoleavehomeandtheoldatriskofisolation(孤独),morefamiliesarechoosingtolivetogether.”可知,由于年轻人负担不起离
家的费用,而老年人又面临着被孤立的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起。所以短文主要是关于英国生活方式的一种上升趋势。故选D项。15.【2020全国卷III阅读理解D篇】Wearetheproductsofevolution,andn

seetheirofficesagain?”(但最大的问题是,“他们还能再见到自己的办公室吗?”)提出了文章的论点“员工是否还会回办公室办公”,下文进行了讨论,在最后一段最后两句“Thefutureisstilluncertain,whichiswhy

.【参考答案】B主旨大意题。问最佳标题是什么。此类题目往往需要看每一段的首句和尾句连接起来、综合衡量才能得出答案。第一段讲的是1966年人类拍的第一张太空自拍照。第二段讲自拍需要数码技术才能行。第四段讲述的是2003年哥伦比亚号失事后,促进了太空数码照相技术的
发展,太空照相技术迎来大变革。最后一段讲现在太空宇航员可以在社交平台和网络上,实时分享太空自拍照。这个里面重复次数最多的是selfie自拍这个关键词。根据以上分析,得知B选项切合题意:TheHistoryofSelfiesinSpace.太空自拍的历史。故选B。11.【江苏省南通市通州区

脑思考。与此同时,男人被认为是天生的理性生物,天生知道如何领导和做数学。然而,根据性格类型的统计数据显示,75.5%的女性是“感受者”,56.5%的男性是“思考者”。可知,本文在探讨“是否女人就是天生的感受者而男人就是天生的思考者”。根据最后一段“BeingaFeelerdoesnotmean
thatyou'rearollercoasterofemotionswhomightknockoveratableatanymoment,nordoesbeingaThinkermeanthatyouareaninfalliblerobotdesignedto
makeheartlessdecisions.”做一个感觉者并不意味着你是一个随时可能打翻桌子的情绪过山车,做一个思考者也不意味着你是一个绝对正确的机器人,被设计来做无情的决定。由此可知,人们通常认为女人天是感受者而
男人天生是思考者,然而这并不是绝对的,个性并不一定局限于某一种类型。所以短文的最佳标题为“是否女人就是天生的感受者而男人就是天生的思考者”。故选C。13.【海南省海南中学2021届高三模拟】Whilemanyofusmayhaveb

读全文以及文章的可知,英语语言中“名词动用”的语言现象,据专家估计20%的英语动词原本是名词,但大多数专家对“名词动用”这类名词的使用持有谨慎态度,但是完全杜绝这类词的使用又是不可能的。也有人反对新动词,因为他们抗拒自己不熟悉的东西,用正反两个观点来
说明这类名词动用的语言现象是否受人欢迎,故引用文章中的名词动用的两个词Summering和Medaling来进行概括,故B选项(Summering和Medaling很讨厌吗?)可以作为本文标题,故选B。14
