同学们，大家好。考研复习阶段已经进入了最后的冲刺阶段，考研倒计时已经开始了，很多同学们现在也开始时数着指头算着还剩多少天了。那么，同学们，你们的考研英语的复习这时候也应该是进入到最后的冲刺阶段了。同学们都知道我们的考研英语这门课程分为英语一和英语二，英语二相对来说要简单些。但是英语二真题中也有不少同学们无法理解的难点问题，今天我们中公考研老师就根据很多同学们在英语二中都遇到的一些难点问题做深入的分析和总结，以期帮助大家冲破阻碍，化茧成蝶，争取更大的进步!

　　【真题】

　　(2010年Text 2 Para.1&2)I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room—a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true," he explained. "When I come home from work, I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence."

　　This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.

　　29. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?

　　A. The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists.

　　B. Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.

　　C. Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage.

　　D. Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.

　　【解析】

　　首先识别出这道题是主旨题。那么如何识别主旨题呢?主要有下面几种识别方法：

　　1. 一般主旨题是位于每篇文章最后一道题的位置。

　　2. 主旨题的常见提问方法是题干中会出现 “title，subject，main idea, mainly about, conclude”等词，也就是说题干中会问你“这篇文章的标题，主题，中心思想等是什么?”

　　学会了识别方法之后，下面我们来看这道主旨题的解题思路，主旨题，顾名思义，答案是让同学们去找这篇文章的主旨是什么，主旨句在哪儿。考研英语真题中的阅读文章大都是选自西方核心期刊的议论文。议论文一般会包括论点和论据。中西方思维的差异决定着，大多数的英语人写议论文首先会在文章前几段亮明其观点。而这篇文章我们看其手段是描述的意见过去发生的事情，这是一种惯常的议论文写作手法，即用过去的事情引出现在的情况，这个被引出的现在情况一般就是这篇议论文的论点所在。所以我们再看这篇文章的二段首句就是紧跟着前面过去的事情被引出的现在的情况。这句话的意思主要是说：美国的男性在公共场合谈论的比女性更多，而在家里却比女性谈论的更少。因此，这篇文章的主旨应该是指男女说话模式的在不同的场合不一样。答案应该选D。

　　最后，同学们，考研不是你一个人在战斗，在漫漫考研路上，新祥旭考研的老师会一直陪伴着同学们的左右，为你们解答考研路上的各种疑惑，祝同学们考研成功!
