英语阅读应细节服从主旨
【摘要】对于英语阅读不应只读懂文章,还需把握一定的解题策略,两者结合起来才能事半功倍。
不过,当两种题型融合在一题当中,发生冲突时,还需把握一定的原则,比如:细节服从主旨。
一、细节服从主旨
细节题是阅读中出现最多的题型,但有时候不是单纯地在考细节,还需要考生结合文章主旨去看题。
此外,对于有些题目中的选项来说,有时候设置得比较抽象,或者是难懂的长难句,难解其意,又或者排除两个,在剩下的两个之间举棋不定,这种时候往往就需要用到一个最为核心的解题原则,就是“细节服从主旨”。因为细节终究还是局部的,如果与主旨相违背,哪怕本身并没错,也往往不是正确答案。
二、真题实例
我们通过一个英语真题实例来看这一原则的具体运用:
Why, then, are virtually all of these critics forgotten? Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.
During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller.
He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. How is it possible that so celebrated a critic should have slipped into near-total obscurity?
24. 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:根据题目定位大写的人物名字出现在最后一段第二句话,Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.
句中讲到这个人现在只被知道是一位散文作家;而后边一句话though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics,说到他还是英国最有名的古典音乐评论家。可见文中信息强调的是他不仅是散文作家,而且还是评论家,评论家是强调信息。
而很多同学分不太清句子逻辑关系,在几个选项中徘徊不定,这时就可以采用“细节服从主旨”的方法,文章的主题是再说“评论家”,所以我们应该选择含有“评论”相关信息的选项,由此可以确定为A.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
应试往往都是有技巧和规律可循的,除了扎实地复习,练就良好的阅读功底之外,有时候利用一些这样的技巧和原则,更便于我们做题。预祝大家都能考试成功,金榜题名!
