This reading lesson is about main idea questions. And it's really important that you study how to approach main idea questions for
因为你几乎可以保证在每一篇文章中至少看到其中一篇。
因为了解主要思想是很重要的，不仅是对那些明确提出主要思想的问题，而且对他们来说
other questions that refer to the main idea at least in part.
所以，让我们开始讨论回答主要问题的策略。 当你有一个主旨问题时，首先要做的是复习课文中每个段落的第一句和最后一句， or of the paragraph or section the question is asking about if it's just asking about the main idea of part of the passage.
And the reason why you should do this is because often the most important information is in the first and last sentence of the paragraph. 当然，情况并非总是如此，但因为法案的段落通常都很有条理。 你会经常看到第一段或第一句话是一个主要的观点陈述， and the last sentence of a paragraph kinda concludes that idea.
但是，至少，这给了你一些具体的重点。你可以回去重读10或10遍 15个句子而不是entire passage and get a good overall gist of it. Then, after you've done that, paraphrase the main idea of the passage in your own words. Ideally, you should be doing this when you've finished reading the passage 因为总有一些问题和主旨有关。
但是，如果你已经找到了一个主要的问题，但你还没有做，那么在你看答案选择之前，一定要先回去做， because a lot of them will probably look really tempting but be incorrect. So you wanna have a clear idea of the main idea in your own head before you go forward. And then, work by process of elimination.
现在你可能会发现其中一个答案选择突然向你扑来。这正是你所说的主旨，但因为事情太多了 在这些问题中，重要的是你也要权衡其他的答案选择，或者你很困惑，你不知道主要的想法是什么， 你必须通过消除的过程来工作。所以，当你取消答案选择时，这里有一些东西需要寻找。
So you wanna make sure you eliminate answer choices that have flaws in them. A word or a phrase that makes an entire answer wrong. 不要选择只包含一部分内容的答案。这种情况经常发生。 They're too narrow, maybe it's just a supporting detail. Maybe its just the topic of one paragraph, but it doesn't encapsulate the entire 现在，你还需要排除答案选择过于模糊，无法最好地概括文章，或者换句话说过于宽泛。
Now, this last one here the too vague answer is often the hardest to eliminate, because, well, it seems to cover the whole passage, but maybe there's another answer choice that's more specific that does a better job of it, so, make sure that you eliminate that one last. 把它放在游戏中，确保你评估了所有的答案选择。让我们继续跳到一个测试示例，这里是 这段话是这样的，再一次，这段话是在视频下面，你也可以在视频课上找到它。
所以，假设你已经有机会读到它，所以如果你还没有，继续并停止这段视频。 继续读这篇例句，然后回到前面。但我们要继续，穿过通道 apply the strategy that we're talking about. So, we are looking for the main point of this passage on the film Marie Antoinette.
所以我们要重读每一段的第一句和最后一句，从头开始。 所以我们有了电影的开场白。玛丽·安托瓦内特以奥地利为背景。 一个年轻的玛丽安托瓦内特睡在黑暗的房间静态图像。最后一段，穿着柔软的天鹅绒和薰衣草蓝两件套 dress, she then meets with her mother, before being sent off to France.
所以你可以停下来做个简短的心理记录。第一段描述电影的开头。 下一段，在电影《玛丽·安托瓦内特》（Marie Antoinette）中，穿衣和穿衣的主题在开场白中得到了强调， 把服装作为阅读电影的一个重要特征。最后一句话， 更仔细的检查揭示了更微妙的细节，一个角色的精神状态，动机，以及角色希望如何被感知。
All right, in this case the first sentence of this paragraph that's very theme oriented. 所以现在我们知道穿衣的主题贯穿于电影《玛丽·安托瓦内特》和 服装被确定为阅读电影的一个重要特征。结局并不是那么确凿，但它继续在这个主题上。
人物的状态心理动机是通过服装的微妙细节表现出来的。 All right, let's move a little bit more quickly now. Costume design involves conceptualizing and creating garments that capture and 界定小说人物的个性，从而体现人物的心理、社会、情感状况。
So again, more about how costume reflects the character, and their inner states. And then we have an example here at the bottom of the Converse boots and how this reminds us that this is a film about teenagers and not really about 18th century piece. 下一段将讨论颜色的细微差别，以促进一个特定的外观，然后在最后如何颜色变暗， 它以断头台的声音结束，暗示着玛丽·安托瓦内特被斩首，所以它说话了 关于如何在电影中使用颜色来反映玛丽·安托瓦内特的生活。
服装的色调可能被翻译成对她内心旅程的描绘。 Once again, costumes, inner state, costumes, inner experience of the characters. 服装设计能让我们很快地掌握人物的特点，服装与其他特征相结合， 生成一个通过服装讲述故事的符号网络。
所以，我认为假设这篇文章的要点，记住，我们想先用我们自己的话来说，是关于 costumes help us understand that the inner state of a character. Let's find what matches up best and let's work by process of elimination here. 玛丽·安托瓦内特比其他许多类似的电影都更多地使用了服装的象征意义。
现在，服装的象征意义，听起来不错，但这是我们的缺点。比很多其他电影都喜欢。 这部电影并没有和其他电影相比。现在，我知道你可能不是从开场白和 最后一句话，所以你可能要回到这篇文章，多复习一点，才能有效地消除这一句。
Or just rely on memory the fact that there is no other comparisons to other films. B, costume design in Marie Antoinette allows audiences to more easily understand that the psychological state of the main character.

Marie Antoinette's use of anachronous costuming helps audiences today better relate to the movie's time period. Now this is an example of one that is flawed. Because it picks up on a detail.
