2018考研英语阅读：主旨题的解题思路
今天我们要分析的是主旨题的做题思路。 理解文章的主旨大意 是大纲对阅读的明确要求。一篇文章理解的好不好关键在于主旨有没有看懂，所以，对于主旨的把握考生必须给予足够重视。那么主旨题怎样识别呢?通常在题干中会出现main idea或mainly about或让你选择best title。例如下列题干：What is the passage mainly about?The best title for the text may be ____. We can draw a conclusion from the text that_____.这些都要按照主旨题的做题思路来操作，下面我们以2003年的真题为例：
It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.
40. The text intends to express the idea that ________.
[A] medicine will further prolong people s lives
[B] life beyond a certain limit is not worth living
[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life
[D] excessive demands increase the cost of health care
解析：题干要求找出文章的idea，即主旨大意。此时应该重点读取首段信息，看首句和转折句。该段首句是引语It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional.并不是论点句，所以不符合主旨句的特点。继续往下我们看到了转折句But not even a great health-care system can cure death即使再伟大的医疗体系也无法治愈死亡。转折在行文中就是表示强调，是作者要重点强调的信息，也是下文的论述中心。所以该句即是体现全文主旨的句子，匹配选项只有[C] death should be accepted as a fact of life 死亡应该作为生命的现实而被接受 。既然原文提到死亡是避免不了的，所以就需要我们接受这个现实，这属于同意阐述。

考研英语阅读中的主旨题是考生需要重点掌握的一类题型，这种题型不像细节题一样，没有定位可寻。多以建议的做题方法是通读首段，尤其是首句和转折句的信息，通常是主旨句的出处。西方人的思维习惯开门见山，所以大多数文章的主旨都可以从首段推出。还是希望考生多做真题，勤加练习，熟练掌握。
