概括大意与完成句子部分包含两个部分，概括大意主要考查大家对文章各个段落整体意思的把握，在考试基本上主要看每段的首句就可以做出答案;完成句子注重考查细节题，主要运用的方法是同义词替换。本题在出题的时候有个基本规律，就是在完成句子部分一般都是按照文章顺序出题，这样对于我们阅读来讲方便不少。
如何能迅速找到段落的大意呢?我们需要首先熟悉英文文章的写作习惯。与中文的发散式思维不一样，英文写作注重线性思考，所以一开始会告诉我们这段主要讲什么，然后去支持这个观点，最后就是总结。这决定绝大多数文章段落的主题句是会在文章的第一段。当然，也会存在一些例外。比如为了引起读者兴趣，作者也可能在段首设问，这样的话答案就是主题句;作者也可能已开始讲个故事或举个例子，那这个故事或例子的结论就是主题句。另外，直接引语肯定不会作为主题句，但间接引语往往是主题句;如果首句后接了一个however，but等表示转折意义的词，主题句就是在这个转折句中。间或也会有主题句不明显的，那我们就要看看段位的结束句。
说了这么多，我们来那今天的题举举例子吧。简单看一下标题：Air Transportation，可判断出本文的主要内容是关于航空运输的。
首先，我们看第一段的首句：Airplanes are used to carry passengers, cargo and mail. 这个句子很简单，讲的是飞机的用途。第二段的首句：The first air passenger services began in 1910, when dirigibles began operation between several German cities. 本句讲的客运飞机的历史。然后看第三段首句：During World War Two, intercontinental air transport became firmly established.本句讲的是继一战之后洲际航空运输业的发展。第四段首句：During the 1970s the number of domestic passengers on U.S airlines increased about 78%, and during the 1980s the figure was up about 58%.本句讲的是美国的航空运输业的快速增长。第五段首句：Major airports provide a wide range of facilities for the convenience of millions of travelers. 本句讲的是航空公司提供给乘客们的服务设施。
读到这里我们就可以来选答案了。根据我们的阅读，第一段是讲述航空运输也得概况(用途);第二段是将航空运输业的历史;第三段是将航空运输业一战后的发展状况;第四段讲美国航运业的快速增长;第五段讲航空公司提供的便利服务。
关于完成句子这部分的答题技巧，我们将在下次的点评中详细讲解。

阅读下面短文，短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
What Makes a Soccer Player Great?
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way - was it through training and practice, or are great players "born, not made"? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past - players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup - three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team - or a really great player - from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood - a poor, crowed area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

A) Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.

B) People in poor areas are born with some unique quality
C) Children in poor areas start playing football at the age of three or four.
D) A great soccer player may be born in a slum area.
4. In the last paragraph the statement "… but only one became Pele" indicates that
A) Pele is the greatest soccer player.
B) the greatest players are born with some unique quality.
C) Pele's birthplace sets him apart from all the others.
D) the success of a soccer player has everything to do with the family back ground.

A) his family back ground.

第二篇
Don't Count on Dung
Conservationists (自然保护主义者) may be miscalculating the numbers of the
threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung (粪) the creatures leave behind.
The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions, according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in New York.
Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees. "We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect," says Payne, who electronically tracks elephants.
Counting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa. So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays: Because it's extremely difficult to determine these rates, however, researchers counting elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere.
But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region depending on the climate and environment. Using the wrong values can lead the census astray (离开正道), says Plumptre.
