段落大意题

[典例剖析]

Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore，explain，and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood.Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds，and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children.The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists.As some psychologists put it，“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”

What is the main idea of the paragraph?

A．The world may be more clearly explained through children's play.

B．Studying babies' play may lead to a better understanding of science.

C．Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.

D．One's drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.

★试题特点

段落大意题主要考查段落的主要意思，是对一个段落的基本内容的简缩和概括。概括、总结、归纳段落大意就是用准确的、简练的语言把一个段落的主要意思明确而完整地表达出来。

★解题思路

Step 1：用略读法快速查找段落主题句。

Step 2：详读——把儿童时期的发展视为一项科学调查，可以揭示孩子们是如何学习的，但同时也为科学和科学家提供了鼓舞人心的视角。

Step 3：尝试解答——根据主题句及最后一句话“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”(不是孩子是小科学家而是科学家是大孩子)可知选B。

★名师点津

做题时要特别注意所问段落的首句和尾句(首尾兼顾)。一是因为它们往往体现主旨要义，二是因为利用这些信息可以迅速提炼段落结构框架，在框架下的主旨判断，其准确性更高。

A

Children grow quickly，especially their feet.But many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them.As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot.Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil.

Kenton Lee，an American man invented The Shoe That Grows.He explains，“It grows in three places：the front，on the side and on the back.It can last up to five years.The bottom is rubber like tire rubber.The top is just high­quality leather.”

Lee says he got the idea for the shoes while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya.“I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes.The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out.And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there was a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet.”
