主旨大意题考查考生对文章内容的深层次理解,它要求考生在充分理解全文的前提下,对整篇文章的主旨大意有一个较为清晰的印象,既考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,也对考生的归纳、概括能力提出了较高的要求。
考点1 标题归纳题
辨明题类
标题归纳题要求考生在理解文章的基础上, 结合文章的体裁和结构,从所给选项中选出适合文章的标题。设问形式常有:
(1)What is the best title for this passage?
(2)What can be a suitable title for the passage/text?
(3)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
(4)The most suitable title of this passage is “________”.
最佳标题应具备以下三大特征:①概括精准而简洁。②针对性强,标题外延与文章内容恰好相符。③醒目,能引发读者阅读欲望。
技法点拨
1.一般文章的标题可根据主题句来判断,但在某些文章中,如记叙文,没有明确的主题句,需要根据文中的事实细节,查找文章的“主线”,归纳出文章的主题。
2.所选文章标题须能概括全文的中心内容。标题是文章的点睛之笔,是文章的灵魂和门面。为吸引读者的注意,标题往往比较醒目。

Goffinʼs cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old.Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage.In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it.The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from.Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes.This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”.In the experiment, Goffinʼs cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone.Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests.This indicates that Goffinʼs cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely e
