（四）較全面、有針對(duì)性地表達(dá)文章中心思想的，選項(xiàng)一般是答案項(xiàng)。

例（1）which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage？
A．Musical 包含uments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers．
B．Music can‘t be passed on to future generations unless it’s recorded．
C．Folk songs can‘t be spread for unless they are printed on music sheet．
D．the development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect．

分析：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可以看出，A、B、C三項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容都只是從某一個(gè)方面闡述了一種觀點(diǎn)，而D項(xiàng)句子所表達(dá)的意思就較全面，高度囊括了全篇短文的主旨。
例（2）The first paragraph is mainly about ．
A．the teenagers‘ criticism of their parents
B．misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C．the dominance of the parents over their children
D．the teenagers‘ ability to deal with crisis
分析：短文意思是講年青人有時(shí)批評(píng)、責(zé)備其父母，認(rèn)為父母對(duì)他們間誤解負(fù)大部分責(zé)任是自然的事。而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)意思是年青人和父母間的誤解，C項(xiàng)意思是父母對(duì)他們孩子的統(tǒng)治；D項(xiàng)指年輕人處理危機(jī)的能力。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，可以明確看出，B、C、D三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容都是從三個(gè)方面來(lái)論述
短文觀點(diǎn)的，而A項(xiàng)則較全面地、有針對(duì)性地表達(dá)了文章的中心意思，故為答案。       
（五）選項(xiàng)中表達(dá)意義較具體的、膚淺的（字面意思）一般不是答案項(xiàng)，而概括性的、抽象的、含義深刻的是答案項(xiàng)。

例（1）The population in the 21st century， according to the writer ．
A．will be smaller than a few years ago
B．will not be as small as people expect
C．will prove to be a threat to the world
D．will not constitute as serious a problem as expected
分析：選項(xiàng)A、B中都有small一詞，該詞在文中出現(xiàn)過(guò)，因而總覺(jué)淺，是字面之意。C項(xiàng)明顯與文章不符，而D項(xiàng)表達(dá)的意義比small要深刻得多。
例（2）From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one ．
A．to be more successful in his career
B．to solve technical problems
C．to be more specialized in his field
D．to develop his professional skill
分析：題意是“從文中看出員工素質(zhì)有助于人們……。” B項(xiàng)題即“解決技術(shù)問(wèn)題”；C項(xiàng)意即“深化專(zhuān)業(yè)”；D項(xiàng)“發(fā)展職業(yè)技能”這三項(xiàng)表達(dá)的意思都比較具體，而A項(xiàng)則概括地有深度，包括了B、C、D三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。
