概括大意題出題特點1：段落中有明顯的段落主題句(通常出現在段落的開頭部分， 如段首句; 有時還可能出現在段落的結尾處。
概括大意答題技巧1：利用段落中的段落主題句直接判斷段落主題：
例子1：
A Origin(起源) of the tie
B British ties
C Uselessness(無用) of the tie
D Old-fashioned(過時的) ties
E Role(作用) of the tie
F Signs(跡象，標記) of a tieless era(時代)
graph 2 _____.
2 That leads to (導致) another question.(不是直接涉及文章主題的觀點性/概括性的話語) Why does anyone wear a tie? Ties serve no purpose(沒有用途)(該句是直接涉及文章主題的觀點性話語，因此很可能是段落主題句)。(解釋性的話語：) They do not cover(覆蓋) any part of your body (身體)and keep(使……保持……) you warm. They always seem to get covered in food stains. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie. It lets everyone know what you just ate.
補充：英語通常寫作邏輯：觀點句/概括句 + 分析解釋(如： 舉例說明)
例子1：
A Education
B People
C Transport(交通)
D Drinks(酒/飲料)
E Food
F Nightlife(夜生活)
graph 3 _____.
3 Getting around (在……出行)England(英格蘭) is pretty easy(與段落主題相關的觀點句)。(接下來的句子中含有大量的細節資訊詞) Budget(廉價的)airlines (航空公司)like Easy jet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains (火車)can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route， coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London‘s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs (微型計程車)are cheaper competitors， with freelance(個體的)drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London’s underground (地鐵)is called the Tube. It‘s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.
A Effects of a stroke
B Annual cost of stroke in the US
C Definition and description of a stroke
D Breakthroughs in treatment
E Risk factors of stroke
F Warning signs of a stroke
graph 4 ___.
4 The American Stroke Association has identified(識別) several factors(因素) that increase(增加) the risk of stroke(中風)。(權威人士/權威機構的調查發現/研究發現/觀點，如果出現在段落開頭部分的.語句中， 這樣的話語很可能就是其所在段落的主題句) The more risk factors a person has， the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke. Some of these you can‘t control， such as increasing age， family health history， race， and prior stroke. But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk. Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider’s help. Some of these include： high blood pressure， current smoking， heart disease， and high red blood cell count.
概括大意題出題特點2：段落中含有明顯的段落主題詞
概括大意題答題技巧2：藉助段落中主題詞直接判斷段落主題(段落小標題中應該直接/間接包含段落主題詞)。
提示：段落主題詞是在段落中反覆出現(至少出現3次以上)， 而且幾乎貫穿全段出現的詞語;段落中的某個詞語/短語結構在段落中與其近義詞/家族詞彙共出現在至少3次以上，則這個詞語連同其近義詞/家族詞彙均為其所在段落主題詞。
A Education
B People
C Transport(交通)
D Drinks(酒/飲料)
E Food
F Nightlife(夜生活)
graph 2 _____.
2 Most people have strong preconceptions(成見) about the British. But if you‘re one of these people， you’d be wise to abandon those ideas. Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities， a football match， or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It‘s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers， sports supporters， pet owners (寵物主人)and gardeners(園丁) than the UK.
概括大意出題特點3：段落中沒有明顯段落主題詞及段落主題句
提示：當段落中沒有明顯主題詞及主題句時還可採取：1.反向排除法; 2：細節資訊確定主題法;
A. An introduction(引入，介紹) of a Toyota(豐田汽車)‘s 225 horsepower (特徵詞)(馬力)V6 engine(發動機)(motor的近義詞)。
B. A description(描述) of the nanomotor(奈米發動機) in terms of (在……方面)power(動力， 權力) and size(大小，尺寸)。
C. Surface tension(專業詞彙/細節資訊詞)(表面張力)。
D. Previous(以前的， 早先的) inventions(發明) of nanoscale(奈米級的) products(產品)。
E. The working principle (工作原理)of the nanomotor(奈米發動機)。
F. Possible(可能的) fields(領域， 天地， 運動場) of application(運用) in the future(將來)。
2. paragraph 4 ___.
Although the amount of energy produced is small —— 20 microwatts(微瓦) —— it is quite impressive in relation to the tiny scale of the motor. The whole setup(裝置， 機構) is less than 200 nanometers(毫微米) on a side， or hundreds of times(倍/時期/次) smaller than the width(寬度) of a human hair(頭髮)。 If it could be scaled up to the size of an automobile engine， it would be 100 million times more powerful(強大的) than a Toyota Camry‘s 225 horsepower V6 engine.
2.B motor及engine很可能就是其所在段落的主題詞。由此判斷A或B可能是答案。藉助段落中的細節資訊結構(涉及到數字的結構，分別描述大小和動力)， 由此判斷B是答案。
A. An introduction(引入，介紹) of a Toyota(豐田汽車)‘s 225 horsepower (馬力)V6 engine(發動機)(motor的近義詞)。
C. Surface tension(表面張力)。
D. Previous(以前的， 早先的) inventions(發明) of nanoscale(奈米級的) products(產品)。
F. Possible(可能的) fields(領域， 天地， 運動場) of application(運用) in the future(將來)。
3. paragraph 5 ___.
In 1988， Professor Richard Muller and colleagues made the first operating (工作的， 操作的)micromotor(微型發動機)， which was 100 microns across， or about the thickness of a human hair. In 2003， Zettl's group created the first nanoscale motor. In 2006， they built a nanoconveyor(奈米傳送帶)， which moves tiny particles along like cars in a factory.
3. D 段落中出現了典型細節資訊結構， ——涉及到數字的時間，從過去的時間到現在的時間，由此判斷段落主題與關於歷史的敘述相關。因此D是答案。從段落的具體內容上看， 該段介紹了發明奈米發動機之前的一些奈米等級的機械產品，如體積大一些的奈米發動機，微型發動機，奈米傳送帶，奈米機器等。選項 D 概括了本段的大意。
2016年綜合職稱英語備考概括大意練習題：
Hurricanes
you know that before 1950,hurricanes had no names?They were simply given first names were simply Alpha,Bravo,Charlie, in 1953,female names were given because of the unpredictability(不可預知的)factor of the 1979,realizing the sexist(性別歧視的)nature of such names,the lists were expanded to include both men and women.
icanes and typhoons(颱風)are the same they form in the Atlantic,we call these strong storms hurricanes,from the West Indian word hurricane,meaning"big wind."And if they are Pacific storms,they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun,meaning"great wind."To be classified as a hurricane,the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 e storms are big,many hundreds of miles in diameter.
icanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up water vapor gives out heat as it condenses(凝結)from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator(赤道) make a hurricane,you must have extremely wet,warm air,the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.
ntists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per just one day alone,the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year!The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energy work for us.
icting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for moves at a typical speed of 15 not storms may race along at twice this speed,then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several can be maddening(發瘋的)if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.
biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather these,we can see the storms form and track them fully,from birth to e they can still kill people and destroy property,hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
