四、归纳概括题 此题分为两大类型:一类是要求考生在理解全文后归纳短文要点,概括中心思想。这时要特别注意文章的第一句或最后一句,或者第一段。第一段往往是故事的梗概,表达了主题思想。另一类是概括文章的话题或议题,即高度概括文章所涉及的中心内容。话题往往可用很少几个词加以概括。困难的是有时为了行文需要,可能涉及数个话题。这时要注意分析比较,弄清哪是最重要的中心话题,哪是次要话题。 考题名师诠释 【例1】(2004全国Ⅰ) Tired of Working in Your Country?

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be.Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender.My mother encouraged these imaginings.She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness.Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter.As a girl,though,I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.
