盡管沖刺階段都說英語復習背好作文模板更易提分，作文能提幾分沒人敢保證，但是這個時候閱讀不努力，英語掉分還是蠻快的!那么沖刺階段要想閱讀提分，攻占主題詞就是你必做的的功課!

什么是文章的主題呢?考研文章的主題往往由兩到三個關鍵詞組成，這些關鍵詞也可稱為主題詞。因此，在讀文章的過程中，考生們一定要有尋找主題詞的意識。一首樂曲，我們辨識它的高潮會通過它旋律的復現來捕捉，哪個旋律重復的次數最多，哪個就是最強音符。主題詞也是如此，它在文章或段落中的復現率會很高。大部分考生可能會以為復現高就是顯性復現，即原詞復現。其實，為了避免重復，主題詞常常會以隱性復現的方式出現，如近義復現、反義復現、同根復現、指代復現、上下義復現等。

以上談及的是主題詞的特點，概括來說有兩點：一是出現頻率高;二是詞義復現。抓住了主題詞，在選擇答案時盡量選擇含有主題詞的選項，正確的幾率就會高。但是，并不是所有出現頻次高的詞都能當作主題詞，主題詞通常是語篇中的名詞、動詞、形容詞。

名詞表主題

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47?year?old manicurist isn’t cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I’m a good economic indicator”, she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too,” she says.

文中劃線名詞短語為考生提供了復現信息，即使沒完全讀懂，考生也能確定本段的主題是講疲軟的經濟狀況，每句話都沒離開這個主題。

動詞表變化

All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid 1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America’s industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.

動詞是各種變化最明顯的體現，它可以表明文中所述情況、作者態度以及情感的變化等。本段中出現的劃線動詞都體現了一個從好到壞的變化趨勢，再結合文章話題，可以確定本段講到了美國經濟霸主地位的喪失給人們的信心帶來的消極影響。

形容詞表態度

Even before Alan Greenspan’s admission that America’s red hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year’s pace. But don’t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy’s long term prospects even as they do some modest belt tightening.

形容詞是作者對所論述話題的態度的直接體現。以此段為例，前半部分都是關于美國經濟不景氣的描述，如果只看到這些，一定會認為下文也應該是一些消極方面的描述。但在But轉折之后，出現了一系列的形容詞，這是詞都具有積極的感情色彩，與前面的情況形成鮮明的對比，表明了作者的態度，也是本段段落中心的體現。

雖然，在考研閱讀思路中還有許多其他方式可以確定文章或段落的主題，但是當文章話題比較陌生，語言比較晦澀難懂的時候，通過找主題詞來確定文章主題無疑會是一種簡單有效的途徑。所以，希望考生們牢記“最強音符，旋律復現”，讀文章過程中樹立找主題詞的意識，幫助自己有效理解文章、快速解題。
