暑期已至，考研的小伙伴齐刷刷的都进入了考研复习的强化阶段了。针对考研英语这门课，暑期强化阶段主要是学习各类题型的解题技巧。而其中阅读部分是所有考研小伙伴最注重的一道大题之一，阅读能否做好直接决定着整个考研英语的成败，但很多同学对于阅读的复习并不得法，往往是事倍功半，下面我们就来看下暑期这个阶段针对阅读的解题我们还可以有哪些方法。

首先我们来看下阅读的主旨大意题。

【】(2008 Text1)

While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men.” according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.

Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.

Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress. “It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well. It’s just that they have so much more to cope with.” says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,” she observes, “it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”

Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”

Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better.” Later, her marriage ended and she became a single mother. “It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”

Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.

21. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?

22. Dr. Ychuda’s research suggests that women___________.

23. According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to be__________.

24. The sentence “I lived from paycheck to paycheck.” (Line 6, Para. 5) shows that_________.

25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

[A] Strain of Stress: No Way Out?

[B] Response to Stress: Gender Difference.

[C] Stress Analysis: What Chemicals Say?

[D] Gender Inequality: Women Under Stress.

【解析】观察25题题干，过“title”一词识别出25题为主旨大意题。先别急着去文中找答案，也无需通读全文。观察五道题的题干，发现22和23题重复出现women这个单词，由此可以判断women这个词很有可能是这篇文章的中心词，再看25题的四个选项，只有D选项的意思跟women女性有关，判断答案应该选D。这个时候我们再去文章核实下，本篇文章首段首句是主旨句，同样能够判断得出25题的答案选择D。

【总结】对于主旨大意题，我们可以先过读题干看能不能解题。因为，阅读的文章基本都是议论文的体裁，即包含论点论据的结构。每道题都是围绕着每段相对来说比较重要的信息出题的，而这些重要信息同时在文章中又是围绕中心论点展开的，所以说题干里是有可能出现文章中的关键信息，即中心词的。如果在五道题题干里反复出现同一个普通表达，那么这个普通表达我们可以推断为文章的中心词。
