【知识拓展】主旨大意题解题技巧

弄清文章的大意,关键是找到主题句。

各段的主题句也常在该段的首句或尾句。

议论文和说明文一般有主题句,但记叙文通常没有主题句,需要归纳。

找主题句的方法:

用浏览法（skimming）,即快速阅读文首、文尾或每段的首句和尾句等,搜索主题线索和主题信息。

本文第2小题是段落大意题。

根据第二段的第一句“Foryears,researchershaveprovedthebenefitsofincreasingtheshareofminorityteachersinschools,especiallyasourpublicschoolsystemhasturnedtoonethatismadeupmostlyofminoritystudents.”可知第二段的意思是:
