2013届高考英语二轮复习（阅读理解）技巧点拨12 寻找主题句，确定文章主题 在许多情况下，尤其在阅读说明文和议论文时，根据其篇章特点我们可以通过寻找短文的主标题位于文章之首，用来高度概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小。精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。在选择标题时，要注意三点：第一：要在阅读原文的基础上，仔细考虑这句话或短语与文章主题是否有密切的联系；第二：再看它对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何；第三：要注意题目是过大还是过小。 ****************************************************************JS A Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs?
