39、括了文章的主要内容或信息，下文接着对主题句所涉及的话题进行具体的阐述。如：(全国高考题)A JINTAN, JIANGSU: The 20 students 18 boys and 2 girls had a thousand reasons to be proud of themselves. They had just climbed their way to the top rung(阶梯)out of 4 million students taking part in the Fifth National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest

40、 (竞赛)on Tuesday evening.The 20 gold medal winners are all primary and middle school students under the age of 14.Many of the problems are of college level and these pupils can figure them out. It is just unbelievable! said a teacher from Guangdong province.Named after Chinas most famous mathematicia

41、n, Hua Luogeng, the contest started in 1986, one year after his death. In less than 10 years, it has been recognized by the State Education Commission(国家教委) as the countrys biggest and best contest of its kind.This news story is mainly about _.A. when the contest started B. how the contest got its n

42、ameC. the 20 pupils who have won gold medals in the contestD. the 5th National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest【分析】这是一篇报道，文章的第一段只有两句话：“20个学生(2女18男)有充分的理由为自己感到自豪，因为他们夺得了第五届华罗庚杯数学竞赛的金奖，是4百万参赛学生中的佼佼者”，下文接着对竞赛的有关情况进行报道，因此，第一段实际上就是这篇报道的主题句。A、B、C分别只包含了报道的部分信息，显然不合题意；D选项与主题句的意思完全一致，因此是正确答案。2. 主题句在文

43、中 这类文章写法上的特点是：开始部分是引题，接着是点题，最后是对主题进行叙述，主题句常常起着承上启下的作用。如：(全国高考题)Fat on human beings is distributed in different ways. Some fat people have a large stomach and no waistlinewhich makes them look round, rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, which makes them appear pear-shaped.There are

44、two types of fat: external fat (fat under the skin) and internal fat (fat inside the body wall).

45、hat causes the health problems.The best treatment for fatness is to reduce the internal fat.

At the moment there is no known way of reducing the interna

46、l rather than external fat.The text is mainly about _.A. fatness and health B. ways to lose weigh C. peoples figures D. distribution of fat【分析】该文的第一段交代了脂肪在体内的分布状况；第二段交代了脂肪的种类及不同种类的脂肪与健康之间的关系；第三段讲的是减肥应该减掉哪一类脂肪以及节食存在的问题。很明显，第二段，特别是第二段的第二句，起着承上启下的作用，是该文的主题句。A选项符合主题句的意思，应该是正确答案；B选项与文章的意思无关；可以排除；C、D选项分别只与文章的部分信息有关，也可以排除。3. 主题句在文末 这种写法的特点是：在叙述完某件事情或某个话题之后，用一句话交代事情的结果或对前面的叙述进行归纳。如：(广东高考题) In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They
