考研復(fù)習(xí)階段已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了最后的沖刺階段，考研倒計(jì)時(shí)已經(jīng)開(kāi)始了，很多同學(xué)們現(xiàn)在也開(kāi)始時(shí)數(shù)著指頭算著還剩多少天了。那么，同學(xué)們，你們的考研英語(yǔ)的復(fù)習(xí)這時(shí)候也應(yīng)該是進(jìn)入到最后的沖刺階段了。同學(xué)們都知道我們的考研英語(yǔ)這門(mén)課程分為英語(yǔ)一和英語(yǔ)二，英語(yǔ)二相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)要簡(jiǎn)單些。但是英語(yǔ)二真題中也有不少同學(xué)們無(wú)法理解的難點(diǎn)問(wèn)題，今天我們中公考研老師就根據(jù)很多同學(xué)們?cè)谟⒄Z(yǔ)二中都遇到的一些難點(diǎn)問(wèn)題做深入的分析和總結(jié)，以期幫助大家沖破阻礙，化繭成蝶，爭(zhēng)取更大的進(jìn)步!
英語(yǔ)二的閱讀每年都會(huì)考的一種題型是主旨題，除了2010年第二篇之外，其余的都是位于最后一道題的位置。雖然在20道題的閱讀里面所占的分量并沒(méi)有像細(xì)節(jié)題那樣比重很大，但也是每年基本必考的一種題型，對(duì)于這種題型的解析也是有一定的技巧和規(guī)律的。
【真題】
(2010年Text 2 Para.1&2)I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room—a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true," he explained. "When I come home from work, I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence."
This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.
29. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?
A. The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists.
B. Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.
C. Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage.
D. Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.
【解析】
首先識(shí)別出這道題是主旨題。那么如何識(shí)別主旨題呢?主要有下面幾種識(shí)別方法：
1. 一般主旨題是位于每篇文章最后一道題的位置。
2. 主旨題的常見(jiàn)提問(wèn)方法是題干中會(huì)出現(xiàn) “title，subject，main idea, mainly about, conclude”等詞，也就是說(shuō)題干中會(huì)問(wèn)你“這篇文章的標(biāo)題，主題，中心思想等是什么?”
學(xué)會(huì)了識(shí)別方法之后，下面我們來(lái)看這道主旨題的解題思路，主旨題，顧名思義，答案是讓同學(xué)們?nèi)フ疫@篇文章的主旨是什么，主旨句在哪兒�？佳杏⒄Z(yǔ)真題中的閱讀文章大都是選自西方核心期刊的議論文。議論文一般會(huì)包括論點(diǎn)和論據(jù)。中西方思維的差異決定著，大多數(shù)的英語(yǔ)人寫(xiě)議論文首先會(huì)在文章前幾段亮明其觀點(diǎn)。而這篇文章我們看其手段是描述的意見(jiàn)過(guò)去發(fā)生的事情，這是一種慣常的議論文寫(xiě)作手法，即用過(guò)去的事情引出現(xiàn)在的情況，這個(gè)被引出的現(xiàn)在情況一般就是這篇議論文的論點(diǎn)所在。所以我們?cè)倏催@篇文章的二段首句就是緊跟著前面過(guò)去的事情被引出的現(xiàn)在的情況。這句話的意思主要是說(shuō)：美國(guó)的男性在公共場(chǎng)合談?wù)摰谋扰愿啵诩依飬s比女性談?wù)摰母�。因此，這篇文章的主旨應(yīng)該是指男女說(shuō)話模式的在不同的場(chǎng)合不一樣。答案應(yīng)該選D。
