我們看第26題：
26. The Japanese think of the marriage of a young couple in a family as
A) a sign showing the love between them.
B) an opportunity for their parents to show their love for their children.
C) a private affair for the boy and the girl.
D) an important matter having influence on the whole family.
這道題考察讀者是否能判斷出第一段的大意。
這篇文章講的是關(guān)于日本婚姻方面的一些風俗習慣。文章第一段的第一句話就點明了題意。 Some Japanese still get married by parents’ arrangement. 日本人結(jié)婚基本上還是由“父母包辦”。這句話就是本段的主題句。文章接下來講，在日本，婚姻不是僅僅兩個年輕人之間的事，而是影響整個家庭的一件事情（見第四句話）。父母之所以“包辦“，就是因為兒女的婚姻事關(guān)整個家庭。所以答案應為選項D。這樣就可以把A、B、C三個選項排除掉了。
這是一個典型的把主題句放在段落開始位置的例子，我們來看下一個例子的主題句在哪兒。
Have you ever watched a child in front of a television set? Very interesting things can be observed. A child may be crawling on the floor, playing with his or her toys or talking to himself or herself while the show is in progress. However, as soon as a commercial appears, the child stops what he or she is doing and faces the television set, intent on the picture, motion, and sound coming from the screen. No matter what is said, the child stares at the set until the commercial has ended. Then the child returns to crawling, playing and talking. The magnetic effect of commercials on children is amazing.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A) Children’s behaviors are observed when TV is on.
B) Children are magnetically attracted by commercials.
C) Children are keen on pictures from the screen.
D) Children stare at the commercials even when they have ended.
本文主要討論了孩子如何被電視廣告所吸引。作者一開始并沒有直接說出廣告對孩子的吸引力有多大，而是通過一個具體的情節(jié)來說明。孩子正在地板上玩耍，擺弄自己的玩具，突然，廣告出現(xiàn)了，孩子便停下來，眼睛直盯著廣告，即使他聽不懂廣告里說的什么，也要等到廣告結(jié)束后再玩。文章的最后一句說，廣告對孩子的吸引力真是讓人吃驚。顯然這一句為主題句，對全文進行了概括，起到了畫龍點睛的作用。因而正確答案為B。
四、小結(jié)：
