按照考研英语的大纲规定，每年要考六大题型：主旨题，推断题，例证题，词义句意题，态度题和细节题，在众多的题型当中，我们如何准确地辨识主旨题的题干呢?我们来看几个经典的主旨题的题干：

What would be the best title for the text?

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

What is the subject of the text?

Which of the following is the text mainly about?

In the text，the author mainly discusses _____?

主旨题的题干特点往往是清晰明确的：title/subject/mainly about(discuss)，非常好辨认。这只是第一步，我们最终还是要学会解题的，主旨题有什么样的解题技巧呢?

相信大家对于这种题型并不陌生，很多同学在解题的时候往往会选择去阅读原文的首段末段然后总结大意最终解题，这样做往往会导致在几个选项里面纠结，最终错失正确选项。有没有更高效便捷的方法能够帮助我们在短时间内快速锁定正确答案呢?有，那就是利用题干解题。

第一个利用题干的办法就是利用除了主旨题以外的其他题目的题干中出现两次及以上的词或者短语快速锁定答案。我们先来实践操作一下。

我们试着来读一读原文的中心句验证一下答案。

(Para.1 )That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully： There’s never any time to read.

我们选择的答案显然是正确的。所以以后不要再老老实实的去读原文然后试图去读懂文章的大意了，这样做是不是更加方便快捷呢?再来一个题目请同学们自己来试一试：
