二、阅读理解。
主旨大意(二)——全文大意
【技巧点拨】
如何概括全文大意？
概括全文大意题要求同学们能够理解主题和细节，并具有提纲挈领的能力。做这类题时，如果材料有主题段或主题句，可以通过寻找主题段或主题句来归纳全文大意。主题段或主题句通常位于材料的开头或结尾。如果找不到主题段或主题句，可以先分析各个段落的大意，然后综合归纳出整篇材料的大意。如果全文大意题的选项形式为一两个单词或一个短语时，贯穿全文始终的单词或短语应为正确选项。
【真题分析】
A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park，you might think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like.
...
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn't have much trouble finding jobs.
...
Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the mall，movie theatre，the zoo，the beach and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for your teens.
7．What's the text mainly about
A．Part time jobs.
B．A summer pass.
C．Water park swimming.
D．Things to do in summer.
解题微技巧指导
7．D 【解析】 该篇材料由三部分构成，没有统领全文的主题段或主题句，因此需要我们综合各部分大意进行归纳。第一部分主要讲了去水上乐园消暑；第二部分主要讲了做暑假兼职工作；第三部分主要讲了夏季去商场、影院、动物园、海滩等地方消遣。综合这几部分的大意，我们不难归纳出材料主要讲的是things to do in summer。

Dear Amy，
I learn from your letter that you want to know something about the traditional Chinese festival—The Dragon Boat Festival. I'm happy to share what I know about it with you.
The festival has a history of more than 2，000 years. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. On that day，people watch exciting dragon boat races and make delicious zongzi，a kind of special food with sticky rice，meat etc. wrapped in bamboo leaves. These two are both done in memory of Qu Yuan，a great poet in history.
In a word，we all love the festival because it's a good reminder to look back on history and a wonderful time to get together with family. I hope that you can come to celebrate it with us in the near future.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Si Xiang
