对于雅思阅读来说,雅思听力的主题句是非常重要的,因为同学们能够把握住雅思阅读的中心思想,那么接下来就和留学群来看看雅思阅读阅读考试主题句如何答题?
主题句的位置:
根据对剑4到剑12文章的分析,段落第一句是主题句的情况多达65%,约10%的段落是第二句为主题句,另有约5%的段落最后一句为主题句。当然也有找不出明显主题句的段落,这部分约占20%。所以阅读文章时,我们需要从每段的第一句开始,按照以下原则来确定主题句,从而概括出段落大意。

However, the position of the eyes so restricts the field of vision in baleen whales that they probably do not have stereoscopic vision.
—剑4 Test 1 Passage 2 Paragraph 3
上述例子中,different degrees就是有概括性的词,整段都围绕着“不同鲸鱼的视觉差异”展开。
由于主题句要统领整个段落,一般无过多的细节,故而句子较短。类似的情况还可以在剑4 Test 2 Passage 1 Paragraph 1和 剑5 Test1 Passage 3 Paragraph 2 见到。
2、首句为“人名+宾语从句”的格式,大概率上也可判定为主题句,如:
