  1. 段落主题句出现得最多的位置就是段首。

  英语文章中最多的就是演绎型的写法,因为西方人喜欢开门见山,所以他们常常在每一段的第一句话就先交代出这段话的主旨。这是最简单的,也是最常见的主题句位置,如下面这个例子:

  As a child grows up, he learns how to behave in ways that is appropriate tothe society into which he is born. That is to say, he acquires the patterns ofbehavior that are accepted as normal in his society. This process of sociallearning is generally referred to as socialization. By socialization, then, wemean the process whereby individuals learn the rules, values and practices ofthe society in which they live.

  上面这段话中的第一句就是对整体段落大意的一个介绍;从第二句话中的“That is tosay”可以看出来,第二句话是对第一句话的解释;第三句话中的“Thisprocess”也是代指的前一句话中的学习,成熟过程。而最后一句话也是对社会化的一个解释,所以也可以确定第一句话就是段落的主题句。

  2. 除了第一句之外,主题句也可能出现在段首位置的第二句。那什么时候会出现这种情况呢?分成三种情况:

  (1)当首句是问句时;

  (2)当首句是过渡句时;

  (3)当次句为转折句时。

  在这些情况下,第二句话都会比第一句话更重要,所以主题句也更可能出现在第二句话中。例如下面这句话:

  What then makes people left-handed if it is not simply genetic? Otherfactors must be at work and researchers have turned to the brain for clues. Inthe 1860s the French surgeon and anthropologist, Dr Paul Broca, made theremarkable finding that patients who had lost their powers of speech as a resultof a stroke (a blood clot(凝结) in the brain) had paralysis(麻痹) of the right halfof their body. He noted that since the left hemisphere of the brain controls theright half of the body, and vice versa(反之亦然), the brain damage must have been inthe brain’s left hemisphere, Psychologists now believe that among right handedpeople, probably 95 percent have their language centre in the left hemisphere,while 5 percent have right-sided language.

  第一句话提问:“如果不仅是基因让人们习惯于用左手,那还有什么原因呢?”我们能预测出,接下来这段话应该就会给我们介绍除了基因以外的其他原因。正好第二句话说:“其他的因素也起到了作用,研究者将线索转向人类大脑方面。”所以能确定,所谓的“其他原因”就是指的“人类大脑”,所以主题句也就是第二句话。
