1. 集中于文章主旨,省去具体细节、例子等;
要准确而简洁地概括文章大意,可以以一个主题句为中心,以关键词为补充的方法进行概括。用自己的语言陈述的具体方法:
1)通过使用近义词对主题句进行解析。如:
原句: Sometimes, however, you have to give up your interest for one thing or another.
改为:However, on some occasions you have to give up your interest for some reasons.
2) 通过改变句子结构对主题句进行解析。如:
原句:Developing a good habit will help you achieve a lot in your work and life.
改为:By developing a good habit, you will achieve a lot in your work and life.
3)通过改变语态对主题句进行解析。如:
原句:The government should take some measures to stop public smoking.
改为:Some measures should be taken to stop public smoking.
2.概括要全面,删去细节,只要主要事实(信息):切忌加入个人的观点。
3.语言要简练,概括后句子的词数必须满足试题的要求。
4.概括后的文章意思要通顺,行文要连贯:在概括短文的内容时应找准主题句,抓住关词;表达一个完整的意思时适当用复合句。注意不要用短文中的原句。
