考研英语阅读如何从其他题的题干寻找主旨题答案?
来源:智阅网
考研英语阅读要在有限的时间内答完题，且要确保准确率，大家
就需要多掌握一
些方法技巧。其实解答主旨题时，完全可以通过只看
其他四道题(不看文章)就能找出答案，大家想知道
方法么，下面给大
家，实例讲解：
具体方法是：在其他四道题的题干和所有选项(包括它们的
错误
选项)中寻找一些意思相同或相近(或表述同一概念范畴)的重复出现
的关键词，这些词是
主旨词。在主旨题的四个选项中，与主旨词意思
或褒贬性最接近的选项就是答案。具体请看下面的真题示
例。
例1，2012年英语(一)Text 3
第35题是主旨题(答案：C)，该题如下：
Which of the following
would be the best title of the
test?
[A]. Novelty as an Engine of Scientific
Development
[B]. Collective Scrutiny in
Scientific Discovery
[C]. Evolution of
Credibility in Doing Science
[D]. Challenge
to Credibility at the Gate to Science
其余四道题是：
[第31题] According to the first
paragraph, the process
of discovery is
characterized by its
[A]. uncertainty and
complexity
[B]. misconception and
deceptiveness
[C]. logicality and
objectivity
[D]. systematicness and
regularity
[第32题] It can be inferred from
Paragraph 2 that
credibility process requires
[A]. strict inspection [B]. shared efforts
[C]. individual wisdom [D].
persistent innovation
[第33题] Paragraph 3
shows that a discovery claim
becomes credible
after it
[A]. has attracted the attention of
the general public
[B]. has been examined by
the scientific community
[C]. has received
recognition from editors and
reviewers
[D]. has been frequently quoted by peer scientists
[第34题] Albert Szent-Gyorgyi would most
likely agree
that
[A]. scientific claims
will survive challenges
[B]. discoveries
today inspire future research
[C]. efforts
to make discoveries are justified
[D].
scientific work calls for a critical mind
[解
析]：在其余四道题的题干和选项中，重复出现的关键词
主要有scientific、discove
ry和credibilitycredible，如红色
字体所示，它们是主旨词。在主旨题第35题
的四个选项中，含有主
旨词的选项是BCD。其中，因为scientific和discovery是
同类词，
所以含主旨词信息量最多的选项是CD，答案应在CD中选择。CD都含
相同的主旨词
scientific和credibility，不能确定哪一个是答案。
此时，再看含主旨词的题干
，根据题干表述的意思确定答案。仔细研
读发现，第31题和第32题的题干中都含有关键词proce
ss，它与主
旨题选项C中Evolution的意思接近，所以C是主旨题的正确答案。
(特
别注意，题干中出现的关键词是最重要的。只需根据题干关键词
也可直接找出答案)
例2，2010年英语(一)Text 1
第25题是主旨题(答案：B)，该题如下：
What would be the best title for the text?
[A]. Newspapers of the Good Old Days
(过去美好时代的
报纸)
[B]. The Lost Horizon
in Newspapers (报纸中消失的视
野)
[C]. Mournful
Decline of Journalism (新闻业可悲的衰
退)
[D].
Prominent Critics in Memory (记忆中著名的评论家)
其余四道题是：
[第21题] It is indicated in Paragraphs
1 and 2 that
[A]. arts criticism has
disappeared from big-city
newspapers
[B]. English-language newspapers used to carry
more
arts reviews
[C]. high-quality
newspapers retain a large body of
readers
[D]. young readers doubt the suitability of
criticism
on dailies
[第22题] Newspaper
reviews in England before World War
II were
characterized by
[A]. free themes [B].
casual style
[C]. elaborate layout [D].
radical viewpoints
[第23题] Which of the
following would Shaw and Newman
most probably
agree on?
[A]. It is writers' duty to
fulfill journalistic goals
[B]. It is
contemptible for writers to be journalists
[C]. Writers are likely to be tempted into

[D]. Not all writers are capable

[第24题] What can
be learned about Cardus according
to the last
two paragraphs?
[A]. His music
criticism may not appeal to readers
today
[B]. His reputation as a music critic has long
been in
dispute
[C]. His style caters
largely to modern specialists
[D]. His
writings fail to follow the amateur tradition
[解析]：在其余四道题的题干和选项中，重复出现的关键词
主要有criticismreviews
(评论，出现5次)、newspapers (出现4
次)、writers
(作者，出现4次)、journalisticjournalism (新闻
业，新闻业的，出现3
次)，如红色字体所示。特别注意，关键词writers
和journalisticjournal
ism虽然出现多次，但是它们是集中出现在
一道题中，而非涵盖多道题，出现次数只是等同于一次，所
以它们不
是主旨词。主旨词是criticismreviews和newspapers。在主旨题<
br>第25题的四个选项中，含有主旨词的选项是AB，答案应在AB中选
择。注意，选项D中的Cr
itics (评论家)不是主旨词。接下来，再
仔细分析AB，发现A强调的是newspapers
，B强调的是the Lost
Horizon。而主旨词criticismreviews出现次
数最多，还未用上，
所以不能选A，A中找不出能够表述criticismreviews的内容。事
实上，B中的the Lost
Horizon正是criticismreviews的同义替
换，所以B是正确答案。
例3，2010年(英语二)Text 1
第25题是主旨题(答案：C)，该题如下：
The most appropriate title for this text
could be
[A]. Fluctuation of Art Prices
[B]. Up-to-date Art Auctions

其余四道题是：

[解析]：在其余四道题的题干和选项中，重复出现的关键词
最多的是art
market，出现4次;其次是auction、fashion和
felldownward
(意思相近)，分别都出现2次，如红色字体所示。这
些词(特别是art
market)是主旨词。在主旨题第25题的四个选项中，
含主旨词art market的选项只有
C。而且，C中还含有与主旨词
felldownward意思相近的decline。所以，C是主旨
题的正确答案。
例4，2010年英语(二)Text 4
第40题是主旨题(答案：D)，该题如下：
In discussing the US
jury system, the text centers on
[A]. its
nature and problems
[B]. its characteristics
and tradition
[C]. its problems and their
solutions
[D]. its tradition and development
其余四道题是：
[第36题] From the principles of
the US jury system,
we learn that
[A].
both liberate and illiterate people can serve on
juries
[B]. defendants are immune from
trial by their peers
[C]. no age limit
should be imposed for jury service
[D].
judgment should consider the opinion of the public
[第37题] The practice of selecting so-called
elite
jurors prior to 1968 showed
[A]. the inadequacy of antidiscrimination laws
[B]. the prevalent discrimination against
certain
races
[C]. the conflicting
ideals in jury selection
procedures
[D].
the arrogance common among the Supreme Court
judges
[第38题] Even in the 1960s, women

jury list in some states
because
[A]. they were automatically banned

[C]. jurors at the state level ought
to be
representative of the entire community
[D]. states ought to conform to the federal
court in
reforming the jury system
[解析]：在其余四道题的题干和选项中，重复出现的关键词主要
有jury
(出现8次)，其次是selection
(出现4次)、
discriminationantidiscrimination
(出现3次)、state (出现3
次)，如红色字体所示。仔细比较发现，主旨题第40题的四个选
项中
并不含有上述重复出现的任一关键词。此时，换个角度分析。注意到，
有三道题的题干中出
现了时间 ( 第37的“prior to 1968”、38题
的“in the
1960s”) 或表述时间范畴 (第39题的“after…”)，
据此可直接判断为，主旨应该与
时间有关。而在主旨题的四个选项中，
只有选项D (传统与发展)最能表述时间范畴，所以D是正确答
案。(特
别注意：题干中出现的主旨词是最重要的。优先考虑题干中出现的主
旨词。若题干中没
有，再考虑选项中出现的主旨词)。
