託福閱讀文章總結題，考察的是考生們的概括總結能力，考生們需要在一定的文章瞭解基礎之上才能發揮出該能力。那麼對於總結題應該如何來做呢?重要的一點就是要挑出論點，總領提綱之後，一點點抽絲剝繭，化難爲簡。
TYPE9總結題
文章總結題，類似於我們的託福寫作，老外的文章也是幾個論點，然後每個論點加入一些例子細節構成的，總結題就是要我們挑出來這些論點。
清楚了題目的考察目的，我們來看一下選項的設置。
六個選項裏面有三個對的，兩個不靠譜的跟文章不沾邊的，就是細節題那種原文沒提的選項，還有一個是細節信息。
先看個例子：
我愛她。First，她很美。她長的很像楊冪。Besides，她身材很好。Last，她學習好，期末時候給我講題保證我不掛科。
選項
1 她很美
2她長的像楊冪
3她身材好
4她學習好
5小明經常掛科
6柳巖身材好
大家很容易選出來134是主論點，而2是細節信息 5文章沒提 6 雖然柳巖身材真的很好，但是我們不能選，因爲這是原文中沒有的。
熟悉了選項的設置之後，我就給大家介紹出題思路。這種題，還是建議大家用直選與排除的`方法結合。
直選：讀文章每段的段首，注意，不僅僅是第一句話。讀到哪裏爲止呢，當開始有for example，或者開始說在几几年之類的細節信息，之前的部分就是觀點性內容。
舉例：The opposite of an opportunist is a competitor. These organisms tend to have big bodies, are long-lived, and spend relatively little effort each year on reproduction. An oak tree is a good example of a competitor. A massive oak claims its ground for 200 years or more, outcompeting all other would-be canopy trees by casting a dense shade and drawing up any free water in the soil. The leaves of an oak tree taste foul because they are rich in tannins, a chemical that renders them distasteful or indigestible to many organisms. The tannins are part of the defense mechanism that is essential to longevity. Although oaks produce thousands of acorns, the investment in a crop of acorns is small compared with the energy spent on building leaves, trunk, and roots. Once an oak tree becomes established, it is likely to survive minor cycles of drought and even fire. A population of oaks is likely to be relatively stable through time, and its survival is likely to depend more on its ability to withstand the pressures of competition or predation than on its ability to take advantage of chance events. It should be noted, however, that the pure opportunist or pure competitor is rare in nature, as most species fall between the extremes of a continuum, exhibiting a blend of some opportunistic and some competitive characteristics.
有同學看到這段就頭疼了，這麼長，其實不長，就兩句話加個單詞。
看第一句，相對於機會者的是競爭者。然後第二句描述了競爭者的特點，之後出現了oak，用oak舉例。所以本段的主旨就是相對於機會者的是競爭者，競爭者有…………。然後用oak舉例說明這些特徵!
找到了每段的主旨，去對應選項，選項的順序是和文章段落順序相同的，一一對應去選擇主旨句的同意轉述就OK了。
名門正派的招式介紹完了，下面開始介紹歪門邪道技巧。
技巧1
按照問題的關鍵詞尋找答案。就像我上面的例子，我再說“她”，我愛她，所以正確的選項裏面一定要有“她”的出現。
上例題：The technology of modern cinema evolved at the end of the nineteenth century.
1、 Kinetoscope parlors or viewing films were modeled on phonograph parlors
2、 Thomas Edison’s design of the
Kinetoscope inspired the development of large screen projection.
3、 Early cinema allowed individuals to use special machines to view films privately.
4、 Slides-and-lantern shows had been presented.
5、 The development of projection technology made it possible to project images on a large screen
6、 once films images could be projected,
the cinema became a form of mass consumption
其中只有三個選項有本問題的關鍵詞，本問題的關鍵詞是 the technology of cinema.
技巧2
針對細節信息與原文中沒有的信息，有不同的排除方法。
先看細節信息
判斷一個選項是否是細節信息，要看它在文中的位置，如果它在文中的前一句是觀點，而它後面沒有支持它的信息，它就是細節信息。比如我上面寫的那句，她長的很像楊冪，這句之前是她很美這個觀點，之後是另一個觀點，說明它就是細節信息。
細節信息的特徵：一般存在於舉例中，大體有兩種，1，事實性內容，事實是用來支持觀點的。2 定義性內容，如她是個女的，這只是讓你知道，而不是要論述的。
這中排除方法有個小技巧，就是當選項裏面有時間，數字的時候必爲細節信息，很好理解，時間數字都是具體的信息，都是爲了支持論點的。
