14、或尾句，各段主题句的整体归纳便是文章 的中心思想。有的文章无明显的主题句，主题句隐含在段意之中，这就需要进一步加工概括。 观察全文的结构安排，理解文章的“重心”和支撑性细节。 主题句的位置一般有以下几种： (1)主题句出现在文首。 开门见山， 提出主题， 用细节来解释或拓展主题句所表达的主题思想， 是最常见的演绎法写作方式。新闻报道、说明文或议论文通常采用这种写法。 (2)主题句出现在文末。在表述细节后，归纳要点以概括主题，是最常见的归纳法写作方式。 (3)主题句首尾呼应。为突出主题，作者先提出主题，结束时再次点出主题。 (4)主题句出现在中间。写作方式为：细节描述归纳主题进一步解释。 以下是
15、找主题句的四个小窍门： (1)段落中出现表示转折的词汇(如 however，but，in fact，actually 等)时，该句很可能是主题句。 (2)首段出现疑问句时，对该问题的回答很可能就是文章主旨。 (3)作者有意识地重复的观点， 通常是主旨； 反复出现的词语， 一般为体现文章主旨的关键词。 (4)表示总结或结论的句子常包含 therefore，thus，in short，conclude，conclusion 等词。 例如： 【真题感悟】中第 33 题。根据第二段第二句“Mitch Prinstein，a professor of clinical psychology sorts
