考研

　　在 考研英语大纲中，明确规定了考生应该能够理解主旨要义、理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系、区分论点和论据。由此可见，主题题目的重要性，而且抓住主题后，对于推理题甚至词汇题都大有裨益。因此建议大家在做题目之前最好能够对文章主题有个认识，今天 文都网校考研英语靖老师就文章主题的把握进行阐述，希望对大家有所帮助。

　　拿到手文章之后，首先阅读文章首段、一二段的交接处以及文章末段，重点关注这些段落的转折、强调，之后再进行题目的解答，有的与主题相关的题目会做到速战速决。

　　例一：Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Strain of stress: no way out? B.Responses of stress: gender difference  C. Stress analysis: what chemicals say  D. Gender inequality: women under stress.我们暂且不去看该题，首先阅读文章首段、一二段的交接处以及文章末段: While still catching-up t omen in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category.“ Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders inresponse to stress compared to men,”     according to Dr.Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.

　　Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stressresponse,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.

　　But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain.

　　由这几段可以浏览出关键词是women和stress，因此可以看出该文章在阐述男女在承受压力方面的比对，而更加强调了女人承受了更多压力因此选择一个既包含对比又提及女人的答案，因此D是**选项，有同学误选择了B,错误在于只看到了对比的一方面，而忽略了更加重要的谈论对象--女人。

　　同样的推理题目，也是要注意主题大于细节，观点大于论据。来看这样一个题目What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A.In both East and West, names are essential to success. B.The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe Zysman. C.Customers often pay a lot attention to companies’ names. D.Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.但看题目，B、C是最不能选的，因为很注意细节，而A选项虽然看似是结论但本身是个错误选项，因此D作为观点是**、最正确的选项。

　　阅读文章要有全局观，不要在细枝末节上纠缠，同样两个选项，一个涉及细节一个涉及观点结论，要选结论而非细节。希望大家今后在做题过程中先从主题上把握，再进行题目解答，相信应该对于提高正确率是很有帮助的。
