3. The first sentence is the one that expresses what the author wants you to know about the topic.This is the topic sentence expressing the main idea of the paragraph.
不难看出,获取段落大意的最主要途径是判断主题句。主题句常常是一个完整的句子,它简洁明了,具有概括性,而段落中的其他句子则是对该主题句所表述的主题思想进行解释、支撑或扩展。
二、主题句在段落中的位置
1.位于段首的主题句
在有主题句的段落中,大多数情况下主题句是位于段首的,或第一句,或第二句。用演绎法撰写的段落常遵照这种先概述后分述的写作程序,它常能给人清晰明了之感,使人马上就可以明白选文所讲的是什么,即文之主题。(见上[例1])
2.位于收段的主题句
位于收段的主题句也叫结尾句,这种段落的写作程序是表述细节的句子在前,概述性的句子在后。通常用归纳法撰写的段落大多如此。
[例2]
