英语阅读理解题中标题选择题的解题思路
标题是文章的点睛之笔，是文章的灵魂和门面。选择标题在英语阅读理解题中属主旨大意题，是深层理解题，它要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者的写作意图。通常情况下，标题具有概括性、针对性、醒目性的特点。所谓概括性，就是指标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题。针对性是对标题外延的一种界定，标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。而醒目性是为了吸引读者的注意力，唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。常见的命题形式有：The best title for the text / What can be the best title for this text? / Which of the following can be the best title for the text? 等。以下是此类题目的基本解题思路。
一、确定最佳标题的方法
在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息，四年级上册科学
找出覆盖全文的核心词汇，看选项内容是否切中文章的中心论题，也就是要看选项内容与作者的写作目的是否一致。
例1：NMET 1998阅读理解Ｅ篇大金寺
70.What would be the best title for the text?
A.the joy of DIY
B.You Can Do It Yourlf
C.Welcome to Our DIY Cours
契约自由D.Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY
首句是As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourlf”(DIY)trend in the inues to grow.末段倒数第二句是：If you want to become a “do-it yourlf”, you can go to DIY class.因此，我们可知该文的中心论题是“DIY trend”正在兴起．其余部分是John Ross 和Jim Hatfield两个“DIY”实例，所以“You Can Do It Too”最适合作文章的标题

例2：NMET2004（浙江卷）D篇。
71.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Is Craft dead?
旮旯论坛>平面设计自学B.Craft, Back to Life?
中医的英文C.History of Craftsmanship D.Carpenters Today and Yesterday
文章的第一段是：We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor.Becau of this, most people think that craft no longer exist.这些文字给人的感觉是Craft is dead。但是作者分析后认为现代的carpenter甚至具有college degrees 和a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult hou designs，从而得出的结论是（文章的最后一句）：“the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.”。因此A为最佳标题。同时，用疑问句作标题比较醒目。
文章的第一段引出话题“Is Craft dead？”，然后在下面的段落中分析，干扰项C、D（两个选项表达的意义也类似）可以排除。最强的干扰项是B，但是从字里行间，我们能感觉到作者认为Craft根本就没有失传过，所以谈不上“Craft, Back to Life”了。
二、寻找文章的主题句
了解文章主要论题的关键是找到全文的主题句。主题句通常在文章首段，但是也可能在文章的末段、在文章的某一段落，或者分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心思想集中起来，即为全文的主题句．
例3：NMET2000阅读理解Ｃ篇。
恳谈文章的第一句是Decision–thinking is not unlike thinking—it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.首句直接表达了全文的中心论题，即“人们作出决策的思维过程”，这就是全文的主题句。而其后就有问文章主题的题目：
59．The subject in this text is
.(答案为A)
A.the process of reaching decisions
B.the difference between poker and chess
C.the cret of making good business plans
D.the value of information in winning games情绪绘本
例4：NMET2005（浙江卷）阅读理解D篇。
文章的第一段只有两个句子：Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent.They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.文章的第一句即文章的主题句，其中最关键的信息是shopping carts more intelligent。文章的第56题的题目是：
What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A.New age for supermarkets
B.Concierge and Shopping buddy
C.New computer makes shopping carts smarter
D.Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable
答案为C。smarter暗含了more intelligent．
三、概括文章的主题
要把握文章主旨，就必须根据具体的语言环境、陈述内容的逻辑关系（文章的结构）、上下文的连贯意思及文中有关暗示来理解文章的深层含义。
例5：NMET2007（浙江卷）阅读理解A篇。
文章大意是：一个曾经劣迹斑斑的少年（“a little tough guy on the streets”, “caught by police for stealing”，而且“landed in prison for shooting a man”），出来后遇见Professor Mattoni，然后在从事保护一种濒危蝴蝶的事业中，他获得了新生。
44.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.A Promi to Mom
B.A Man saved by butterflies
C.A Story of Butterflies
D.A job offered by Dr.Mattoni
此题的最强的干扰项是A（A Promi to Mom），因为文章提到了他的内心承诺“I told mylf I would not put my mom through that pain again”,以及“Bonner has kept his promi to stay out of prison”。但是文章的主题是“他获得了的新生”，在文章的最后一句“While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.” 点题了。
例6：2006北京卷D篇71题
Which is the best title for the passage？
A.Societal Conditions in Premodern Times
B.Practices of Reducing Maternal Attachment
C.Poor Health Service and High Infant Death Rate
D.Differences between Modern and Premodern Parents
这篇文章在首段提出一个重要论点，随后在各段分别进一步从不同角度继续阐述，这样我们可以找出首段的中心句，再将其和各段第一句串联在一起，就可以得出文章的中心思想。如：
第一段：Perhaps to prevent the sadness that infant death caud，a number of societal practices developed which worked against early attachment of mother and child.第二段：One of the premodern attachment-discouraging practices was to leave infants unnamed until they had survived into the cond year„
第三段：A third practice which had the same distancing effect was wet-nursing.„
从第一段的中心句和各段的第一句不难看出，这篇文章的标题应该是Practices of Reducing Maternal Attachment.四、逆向思维法
针对这类题型，考生不妨思考一下，“如果我是作者，遇到这样的标题，文章应该怎样写？”
