idea)。主题句的作用是导向(control)和制约(limit)。所谓导向导向就是_，所谓制约制约就是_，两者不可分割。没有导向，内容就会离题或偏题；没有制约，内容就可能超出一个文段所能容纳的范围。有时，主题句由两三个句子组成。Exemplifying in Skills主题句的作用与位置规定段落的发展脉络限制主题的覆盖范围1.主题句的导向与制约作用【例1】There are several factors affecting climate.One factor is the amount of sunlight received.The height above sea level,also determines climate.The oceans have an effect on the climate of the land nearby.In addition,climate is influenced by the general circulation(循环)of the atmosphere.主题句主题句导向(control)作用，是本文段的主题制约(limit)部分，因为文段都在谈影响气候的因素，而不是其他方面的因素。隐含Exemplifying in Skills主题句的作用与位置2.主题句的位置与隐含段首段尾段中Exemplifying in Skills段首主题句常出现在文段的开头。这种文段行文一般采用“_”的结构。【例2】首句是主题句:According to some sleep researchers,a short period of insomnia(失眠)at midnight is not a disorder.文段讲述人短暂失眠是正常的，这在首句就已经指出。接着就论述原因，以及这种短暂失眠甚至有其积极的作用。总述分述Exemplifying in Skills段尾主题句也会出现在文段的末尾。这种文段行文多采用“_”的结构。段尾常出现诸如：therefore，as a result，but等标志词。【例3】末句是主题句:Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.文段论述了大学教育的费用为什么应该由个人支付，而非由政府支付。文段开头指出了一般人的想法：认为大学教育理应免费，接着说出这种想法的错误所在，最后由therefore引出结论。分述总述Exemplifying in Skills段中 主题句有时会出现在文段的中间。这种文段行文往往是作者为了凸显自己的_。【例4】文段第四句是主题句:Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms.文段开头提出一个普遍观点，然后提出问题，再以回答问题的形式引出主题句，指出现在很多人在体育馆学习攀登。写作手法和风格Exemplifying in Skills隐含一个文段未必有明显的主题句，特别是在_。此时要自己总括段落的大意，体会作者想要表达的意思。【例5】B 该文段并无明显的主题句，而是隐含在作者表达的感情中。全文段在写“50”对很多事情来说是个不错的数字，但是当这数字降临到作者自己的岁数上时，他却显得毫无心理准备，要被迫接受时间飞逝的事实。因此，B项最能表达作者的感情和文段主题。记叙文中间的描写部分Exemplifying in Skills隐含一个文段未必有明显的主题句，特别是在_。此时要自己总括段落的大意，体会作者想要表达的意思。【例6】A本文为记叙文。文章前五段都在描述作者和他父亲遇到搁浅的鲸鱼母子和拯救它们的经过，直到最后一段才谈及自己的亲身感受，而且很婉转地传达自己的喜悦之情。体会最后一段的感情，可知A为正确选项。B项中fishing并非本文的主要内容；而C、D项说的是与动物和睦相处的必要性、保护环境的重要性，显然与作者想要表达的也有所偏差。记叙文中间的描写部分完成朗声P71例6；P72练习2和3。注意：结合前面所说的两种方法。真题演练真题演练2007年广东高考

teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”-Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they

In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They dont get to see this soft side of others.Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often,it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when were scared.30.Which of the following is the best title for
