　　三、段落理解题的题目设置规律

　　○段首句开门见山引出主题或故事发生环境，往往设置为考点

　　○因果关系中的原因是必考内容，不管直接或间接提到的原因都会用why来提问

　　○形容词副词最高级形式一旦出现，则此句即成为考点，如：the most important reason is……; their biggest trouble was……; he worked most efficiently when ……

　　○故事题中的一个关键动词，人物所说的一句意味深长的话需要找到同义解释

　　○说明文中的数字年代和概念往往需要在选项中重新定位

　　○人物题中的重要年代及相关历史事件需要重新搭配定位，不做记录容易混淆

　　○议论文中有时自问自答，问题将成为考题，回答内容即正确选项

　　○议论文中只要出现I think……, I believe it’s true that……, In my opinion……等表达，就会重新问及speaker的观点态度； 没有这些表达则段首句是其观点。
