The world population is rising, so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive. Man has made great progress in environment protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the forests and sea resources and waste water and poisonous gases have been also dealt with. Still more measures should be taken to solve the problems. People should be further educated to realize the importance of the problem, to use modern methods of birth control and learn to recycle our natural resources. We are sure that we shall have a better and cleaned planet in the future. 2). 首尾呼应 为突出主题 , 作者先提出主题 , 结尾时再次点出主题 , 这种首尾呼应的写作方式也较为多见 . 通常 , 前后表述主题的句子不是简单的重复 , 后面的表述往往有进一步的引申或发展的意味。 A human body appears to be rather soft and delicate, compared with that of a wild animal, but it is actually surprisingly strong. In deed, its very softness and looseness is an advantage; it makes man good at moving about movement of all living things of his own size, because he can do so many different things with his limbs. Man’s games show how he can control his own body. No other land creature can swim as skillfully as man; more has such varied grace; very few lives as long as he; none is so strong in its natural resistance to disease. Therefore, man has a great advantage in his battle against the risks of damage and death that threaten him. 3). 文尾 在表述细节后 , 归纳要点 , 印象 , 结论建议或结果 , 以概括主题 , 这是英语中最常见的归纳法写作方式 。 Passage 3 Nothing is as useful as a flashlight in a dark night if a tire goes flat. Few inventions are so helpful to a child who is afraid of the dark. In fact, the modern flashlight brings light to many dark situations. Finding something in the back of a closet is easy with a flashlight in hand a camper also needs one after the light of the campfire has been out. 4). 文中 通常前面只提出问题， 文中的主题由随之陈述的  细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出 , 而后又作进一步 的解释 , 支撑或发展。 Passage 4 5 ). 无主题句 即主题句隐含在全文中 , 没有明确的主题句，必须 根据文篇中所提供的事实细节，进行全面考虑，综  合分析，然后找出共同的东西，归纳成一般概念。 必须注意的是，既不能以偏概全，也不能在概括时  过于宽泛，要恰如其分。 Joshua Bingham studied 4 years at the University of Paris and decided to leave. He transferred to the University of Berlin and graduated with honors. Harvard Law School and, later, Boston College provided him with an excellent legal background. He is presently a corporation lawyer in Miami, Florida. Passage 5 Joshua Bingham received an excellent education. The main idea: 文章主旨通常会出现在 文首 , 文中或文尾 ，因此 寻找主题句或主题段 往往是做好此类题的关键。 但当文中没有直接出现主题句，应对文章意思 全面理解后归纳概括主旨 ，但不能太笼统即不切主题 , 言过其实或以偏概全。 技巧小结 高考链接 It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really.

Put yourself in the writer’s shoes ! Tip 实战演练 1 If you were planning to buy a television set, the following advertisement would certainly attract your attention: "Color TV, only $79. Two-day sale. Hurry." However, when you go to the store ready to buy, you may discover that the advertised sets are sold out. But the salesman is quick to reassure you that he has another model, a more reliable set which is "just right for you." It costs $359. This sales tactic is called "bait and switch." Buyers are baited with a sales offer, and then they are switched to another more costly item. Buying items on sale requires careful consideration of the merchandise （商品） and the reasons for the sale. Which sentence best expresses the main idea? A. The customer must be on his guard ( 警惕 ) when purchasing items on sale. B. Color television sets which sell for $79 are sold out quickly.  C. Many stores use the "bait and switch" technique to attract customers. D. Anyone planning to buy a television set should look for a sale. There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked  to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech , we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts ( 咕哝 ) in reply. 实战演练 2 therefore What does the author want to tell us most? A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men. C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts. D.

The foreign cars have not taken away the jobs of American autoworkers. D. The flood of the cheaper foreign cars is terrible for American autoworkers. 实战演练 4 Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it’s a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatterbox, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, of in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred year’s time?” You are not. You think there are maybe some important news or messages for you . I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Haven’t you ever rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only unable for outgoing calls. Besides you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency-illness, an accident, or fire? Of course you are I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances-If you were a business VIP, for instance, or a bed ridden person-I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi driver, I should find a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent. One is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it .After all, one never knows, it may be something important. right, but here in a thickly populated country like England, one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity. how we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call B. the possibility that important message will reach you sooner or later C. whether it’s necessary to answer all telephone calls D. whether it is necessary to have a telephone The passage is mainly about_______. A handshake signaled the passing of the baton( 权杖 ) and start of a new era for the world’s most populous country.
