36、析:本文主要讲述的是人体内有调节体温的系统,能让人适应不同的外部气温。【名师点睛】选择“标题”则是让考生给所读的文章选择一个合适的标题。通常标题由一个名词或名词短语充当,用词简短、精练。常见的提问方式有: 1. What would be the best title for the text? 2. Which of the following is the best / most suitable title for this text? 3. The best / most suitable title for this text would be _. 4. The topic of
37、this passage is _. 不管是选择“主题” 还是选择“标题”,实质上都是要求考生从整体上理解语篇内容,找出贯穿语篇的主线;不管是何种体裁的文章,总是围绕一个主题来展开的。在试题设计上,3 个干扰项内容一般在文章里或多或少都有涉及,但并非主要内容,需要注意甄别。 文章标题的选择或拟定 1. 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; 2. 再看它对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何; 3. 要注意题目是过大还是过小; 4. 要避免下列三种错误:概括不够(多表现为部分代整体,从而导致范围太小) ;过度概括(多表现为人为扩大范围) ;以事实、细节替代抽象概括的大意。
38、要恰当地选好标题,还需要了解标题的基本拟定方式。一般来说,标题的拟定方式是:以话题为核心,将控制性概念的词按一定的语法浓缩为概括主题句句意或中心思想的词组。 比如某一文章的中心句子为:Coffee is a universal drink that is served in different ways around the world. 话题:Coffee 控制性概念:is a universal drink that is served in different ways around the world 标题:Coffee Around the World。考点:考查科普说明文阅读第二节
