【解析】主题句一般是对上文或下文内容的总结,所以我们通常采用浏览的方式,重点搜索主题线索和脉络,并准确判断出主题句,切忌主观臆断或以偏概全,以点代面。根据语段中的" shouldnt be longer than ten minutes"以及" As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person "可知,本段主要讲要控制采访的时间,此空应是本段的主题句,引领下文。本题易误选B项,但本段并未介绍如何在采访时保持礼貌,故排除B项。也易误选E项,但该项属于对街头采访的主观臆断,并无信息支持,故也不能选。A。
【方法点津】位置先后Foretelling
1.设空在段首:
(1)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。调研1即属于这种类型。
(2)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读空后第一句,锁定线索词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常答案与空前后的句子在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这些句子之间会用到某种衔接手段。比如,选项中出现时间,考生往往要注意其与正文中的时间的前后对应关系。
(3)是段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常答案会与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来,并结合下一段的内容,看所选的答案是否能使两段内容连贯起来。
2.设空在段尾:
(1)通常是概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的过渡性词语,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等,选项中也可能会出现前文的同义词或同义句。
(2)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的连接词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文形成对比关系。
(3)与前文是并列或递进关系。在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列、递进关系的连接词,与前文类似的句式结构或同义词等线索。
(4)所选答案引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否能与选项紧密连接起来。
3.设空在段中:
重点阅读该空的前一句和后一句,找出它们之间的逻辑关系,或者根据意义的连贯性得出答案;如果还没有把握,再分析该段的中心句,因为中心确定后所有的句子都是围绕该中心来描述的。
