在SAT閱讀當中,主旨題往往出現頻繁，占比不低。這種題型不僅考察學生的理解能力,還考察歸納能力,錯誤選項又往往具有迷惑性，因此學生得分率並不高。如何又快又好的答題得分，就是我們今天討論的範圍。
主旨題提問句中經常出現以下單詞，如mainly discuss, main idea, purpose, title, topic。
出題方式舉例如下：
The passage serves mainly to ____________________________
The passage primarily focuses on _________________________
The passage is primarily concerned with ____________________
The main idea/ point/purpose of the passage is _______
The passage as a whole is best described as ___________________
The passage as a whole answers which of the following question?
所有的SAT閱讀問題，都有兩種方法應對：正向法，反向法。正向法就是選擇之前自己有了答案，然後看看答案有沒有跟自己不謀而合的，有的話就選擇它;反向法就是我們說的排除法，把錯誤的捨棄，留下的就是正確答案。那麼如何總結自己的答案，哪些答案應該排除，才是我們解決問題的關鍵。下面，我們用一篇短單篇文章來說明一下。
In 1843 Augusta Ada King published an influential set of notes describing Charles Babbages conception of an analytical engine --- the first design for an automatic computer. Kings notes, which included her program for computing a series of figures called Bernoulli numbers, established her importance in computer science. However, her fascinating life and lineage --- and her role as a female pioneer in her field --- have turned her into an icon. She has inspired biographies, plays, novels, and even a feature film. And whereas many women have helped to advance computer science, only King has had a computer language named after her: Ada.
The passage is primarily concerned with
A. Explaining Augusta Ada Kings interest in computer science
B. Providing a character analysis of Augusta Ada King
C. Summarizing how and why Augusta Ada King is celebrated
D. Tracing the developing of the modern-day computer
E. Encouraging more women to pursue careers in computer science
該題是典型的主旨題，如果用正向法，第一種是連接每句的重點詞，合在一起就是文章主旨，重點詞也就是每句主謂賓，文中用紅色標出，句子中其他細節部分可以略讀。Ada發表註解，奠定地位。人生及血統也起到作用，她變得非常有名，答案C. 總結Ada如何有名為何有名，跟我們的總結是一個意思。第二種稱為3W1H法，代表的是WHO+WHAT+HOW/WHY，文章描寫哪個對象，側重它的哪個方面，該方面如何體現，文章當中分別對應的是：Ada, influential, note/lineage, 再次與C相同。
那反向法該排除哪些答案呢：細節、未提、極端、相反。答案A. 解釋Ada對電腦科技的興趣，屬於細節;B. 分析Ada性格，文章未提及;D. 追蹤現代電腦的發展，文章未提及;E. 鼓勵女性投身電腦科技領域，文章未提及。
正向法和反向法都表明正確答案是C，建議同學們在做題過程中兩種方法結合使用，可以更好保證正確率。
