此题型相对来说较容易。对于这种类型的题目,考生应注意英语语言的转换,要对句子的意义进行正确的理解,弄清楚所给句子的意思,找出与其在文中意义相同的句子,然后规范地抄在指定的地方。考生做此类题时应注意以下几点：

1．掌握句子转换的技巧

转换的窍门就是运用减法把句子化繁为简。既可以通过分析句子的结构,确定句子的主干,将复合句变成几个简单句,也可以挑出关键词(往往为表示时间、地点等的状语),通过不同的语言形式表达,也就是我们常说的“paraphrase”,二者转换,说法一致即可。

3．书写格式正确

文章标题可以是完整的句子,可以是简短的短语,也可以是问题的形式,不过也要注意词数的要求(一般不超过10个词)。标题一般要求实词的第一个字母大写,虚词不大写,但如果虚词位于开头也大写。另外,也可以只大写开头单词的第一个字母,其他都小写(专有词汇需要大写的除外,如China等)。

2．标题简洁、新颖

标题必须语言简洁、有新意,让人一读标题就会对话题产生浓厚的兴趣,有读下去的欲望。

这类问题要求考生在理解全文的基础上归纳文章的要点,概括其中心思想。考生需要把握作者的观点、态度、语气等,分析文章的篇章结构,抓住文章开头的主题句或最后的结论,捕捉与题目有关的信息,从而找出能概括文章主旨的题目和中心思想的信息。主旨概括要有高度的针对性,形式要新颖,语言要简练,并且格式要正确。考生做此类题时应注意以下几点：

1．归纳或概括的全面性

要善于对文章的整体内容进行概括或归纳,分清主旨和细节。概括出来的中心意思一定要能够覆盖全文或整个段落,绝对不可离题太远、太笼统或者以偏赅全,只概括一段或几句话的意思。

Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV,start their chores(杂事),or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.Before you know it,you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments,clean their room,or take out the trash.Rather than saying “Do your chores now.” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed.So instead of arguing about starting chores,just say,“If chores aren’t done by 4 pm,here are the consequences.”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores.Put the ball back in their court.Don’t argue or fight with them,just say,“That’s the way it’s going to be.”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive.“If your chores aren’t done by 4 pm,then no video game time until chores are done.And if finishing those chores runs into homework time,that’s going to be your loss.”On the other hand,when dealing with homework,keep it very simple.Have a time when homework starts,and at that time,all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done.If your kids say they have no homework,then they should use that time to study or read.Either way,there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.

When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him,make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you,he is disrespecting you.At that point,everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears.Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones-even if he tells you he can hear you.Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect.Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing.Remember,mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
