it relaxed. I also have found that I have some ability in racquetball that I haven’t had in other sports. I may sign up for intermediate racquetball next semester. ●答案: 17. Topic sentence: I‘m enjoying my racquetball class a lot. ●解題關(guān)鍵: (1) 段落中的主題句(topic sentence)是全段的統(tǒng)領(lǐng),它說明段落的中心思想和作者寫作的目的。段落的其余句子必須與主題句密切相關(guān),共同闡明、證實(shí)主題句。因此,主題句具有概括性,支配段落中其他各句的走句。 (2) 多數(shù)情況下主題句出現(xiàn)在段首,但也可以在段中或段尾。17題段落中的第二句I‘m enjoying my racquetball class a lot包含subject(racquetball class)和controlling idea(I’m enjoying it a lot),下文各句就enjoying一詞展開,詳細(xì)說明喜歡racquetball class的事實(shí)和原因。所以敲定該句為主題句。 ●考生典型答題錯(cuò)誤分析: (錯(cuò)誤)Topic sentence: I may sign up for intermediate racquetball next semester.

Read the following paragraph carefully and select the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that follow the paragraph. Topic sentence: First, there are always customers to be served. I work in a downtown McDonald‘s that gets lots of traffic, and as soon as I serve one customer, there is always another one ready to order. There is constant pressure because I can never step back for a few minutes and relax. Second, I have to put together all of the orders myself. To do that, I have to move all over the serving area: French fries on one side, drinks on the other, and burgers in middle. It’s easy to get sloppy and spill a Coke or throw French fries on the floor. Also, I must always move at a fast pace. McDonald‘s has an image to uphold, and its workers must scurry about like ants. If I don’t move fast enough, some customers will say, “Hey, speed it up,” or “I though McDonald‘s had fast service.” And with all of this nonstop work, I only get one tenminute break every two hours. However, ten minutes isn’t enough time to rest and feel like getting back to work. It only gives me enough time to realize hoe tired I am, so I go back to work depressed. Finally, my manager really keeps the pressure on. He watches us like a hawk, and every time I do something wrong, he seems to catch it. He also has a reputation for firing people, and he never lets any of the workers feel that their jobs are safe. By the end of the day, I‘m emotionally and physically drained, like everyone else, and we all head out the door grumbling. [A] The hamburger sold at McDonald‘s is my favorite food. There are several reasons that I like McDonald‘s. [C] Working at McDonald‘s is very tiring. [D] I have no idea about working at McDonald‘s. ●答案: 18. Topic sentence: [C] Working at McDonald‘s is very tiring. ●解題關(guān)鍵: (1) 明確主題句(topic sentence)與支持句(supporting sentence)的關(guān)系:主題句(topic sentence)是統(tǒng)領(lǐng),起著開宗明義、提綱挈領(lǐng)的作用,其余的與主題相關(guān)的支持句(supporting sentences)都圍繞主題句來展開,用來闡明、證實(shí)主題句?! ?2) 18題段落中的各句描述了麥當(dāng)勞員工工作的情況:店員要不停地接待一個(gè)又一個(gè)顧客,異常忙碌,身體極度疲勞,還要承受顧客的諸多抱怨和經(jīng)理的嚴(yán)厲監(jiān)督。所有這些supporting sentences都用細(xì)節(jié)支持說明一個(gè)事實(shí):在麥當(dāng)勞工作十分辛苦。故[C]句Working at McDonald‘s is very tiring就是該段落的topic sentence. (3) [A]、[D]三句,與段落各支持句內(nèi)容或不相關(guān)或相矛盾,故為錯(cuò)解。10 /
