如何把握英语文章的中心(汇总5篇)
考研英语得阅读者得天下。然而如何才能“得阅读”呢?今天,跨考教育英语教研室刘正峰老就此为大家做详解。从同学们的角度来说,阅读理解题就是根据一篇400词左右文章,做出5个题目。从命题人的角度来说,命题人是用5个题目来检验我们是否看懂了这篇400词的文章。那么一篇文章,如何能判断我们是否读懂了呢?

文章展开方式1. 铺垫法 通过一个例子或引用一段话引出文章中心
文章中心位置:第一段最后一句,或者第二段第一句
文章展开方式2. 转折法 首段先提出一种观点,然后反驳之。
文章中心位置:转折词后
2. 其他 中心需要自己概况,这种情况极其少见。
那么,结合以上对文章写作套路的把握,文章中心的位置其实就很好判断了。通常应该出现在首段,二段首或尾段:
1. 首段或二段首有问句,问题答案是中心;
2. 首段或二段首有转折,转折处是中心;
3. 首段出现例子或引用,则例子或引用之后为中心;
4. 若无上述情况,则首段首句为中心或文章中心需要概况。
下面以2000年text 3 为例,来分析抓中心对解题的作用。 我们把首段,二段首和尾段首句挑出来,并将文中中心画上下划线,则结果如下:
When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be -- even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right -- it can hardly be classed as Literature。
This, in brief, is what the Futurist says;
This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as Literature。
那么,我们来看看其中一些题目,答案(带下划线的选项)是否一目了然呢?
59. This passage is mainly ________。
[A] a survey of new approaches to art [B] a review of Futurist poetry
[C] about merits of the Futurist movement [D] about laws and requirements of literature
60. When a novel literary idea appears, people should try to ________。
[A] determine its purposes [B] ignore its flaws
[C] follow the new fashions [D] accept the principles
62. The author believes that Futurist poetry is ________。
[A] based on reasonable principles [B] new and acceptable to ordinary people
[C] indicative of basic change in human nature [D] more of a transient phenomenon than literature
综上所述,抓住文章中心,段落中心及句子中心,我们阅读的的解题一定事半功倍
