如何选择文章的标题

选择文章的标题是阅读理解中常见的题型之一，它要求考生在理解全文的基础上较好地运用概括、判断、归纳等逻辑思维方法对文章进行高度概括或总结，属于难题。要想做好此类题，必须弄清楚常见的设问形式、标题的特点，掌握解题思路及技巧，才能做到得心应手。

常见的设问形式包括：The best title for the text would be.../What can be the best title for this text?/Which of the following can be the best title for the text?等。

文章的标题是语篇中心思想最精炼的表达形式。标题可以是单词、短语或句子。好的标题可以抓住读者的眼球，帮助读者迅速推测出文章的主要内容及中心，把握作者的观点和意图。所以好标题的特点是：短小精悍，多为短语；涵盖性强，能覆盖全文；确定的范围要恰当；精确性强，没有随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。

快速浏览文章抓住关键信息

选择文章标题，可以采用浏览法，仔细阅读文章或段落的首尾句是关键。即在阅读语篇时，一般不需逐句浏览，只需重点选读文章的首段、尾段或每段的首句和尾句，搜索主题线索和信息。尤其在阅读说明文和议论文时，根据篇章特点，我们可以通过寻找短文的主题句来归纳文章的主题。主题句的位置通常有三种情况：开头、中间、结尾（含在开头和结尾同时出现，首尾呼应的主题句）。
