2009年12月英语四级阅读主题思想抓牢诀窍

　　本段主题句为第二句，因为在however后面才是作者真正的看法，并在本文中进一步作了说明。

　　然而，我们也常常发现，有的主题思想并非直接由一、二个句子表述，而是在文中间接暗示着。这就需要读者根据文中细节进行概括与归纳，找出主题思想。

　　能否抓住一篇文章的主题思想，体现了读者总结、概括和归纳事物的能力。把握了主题思想也有助于对文中。因此，可以说，找出主题思想是一项最重要的阅读技能。

　　例十：

　　Its no wonder that we have so many rejections for physical reasons in our Selective Service. Since October of 1948, some six million young men have been examined for military duty. Of these, more than a million were rejected as physically unfit for military service. To get two men today, the United States Army must call seven men. Of the five rejected three are turned down for physical reasons and two for mental problems. To get the 196 thousand additional men we needed for Berlin, the government had to call up 750 thousand men. And the rejection rate is increasing each year. The reason for this problem is that we are under exercised as a nation. We look, instead of play. We ride, instead of walk. The way we live prevents us from being healthy.

　　本段中找不到某一句作为主题。根据文中的内容进行归纳，可找出主题思想，即：The militarys rejection rate for physical reason is increasing because this nations lack of exercise is leading to poor health.
