2021年高考英語難點37講--難點23 有章可循的主旨大意題
答案：b
2.nmet
in 1901,h.g. wells,an english writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.when the explorers(探險者) landed on the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.they expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met.in turn,the “moon people” expressed their surprise.“why,”they asked,“are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
h.g. wells could only imagine travel to the moon.in 1969,human beings really did land on the moon.people today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.however,the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one.a growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
underground systems are already in place.many cities have underground car parks.in some cities,such as tokyo,seoul and montreal,there are large underground shopping areas.the “chunnel”,a tunnel(隧道) connecting england and france is now complete.
but what about underground cities?japan’s taisei corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called “alice cities”.the designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,shopping,and so on.a solar dome(太陽能穹頂) would cover the whole city.
supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.the surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,gardens,and wildernes.h.g.wells’ “moon people” would agree.would you?
question:what would be the best title for the text?
a.alice cities—cities of the future. b.space travel with h.g. wells.
c.enjoy living underground. d.building down,not up.
命題意圖：本題旨在考查學生的歸納概括能力，是一道主旨大意題，屬五星級題目。
錯解分析：此題學生容易錯選b項，原因是沒有通覽全篇，只抓住了文章的后半部分，尤其是第四段。
解題方法與技巧：（1）通覽全文，抓首段大意。（2）文章開篇敘述了h.g. wells在其科幻小說中的“月球人”詢問月球探險者：“為什么地球人不利用地球內部空間而到地球外部空間旅行呢？”；接著下一段講述越來越多的科學家正在認真思考這一問題；隨后兩段敘述underground systems的利用及日本underground cities的設計；然后再根據文章最后一段首句：“supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space”，可判斷出此題答案。
答案：d
