一、關注首句，領會大意

　　通過首句可以明確文章話題，了解篇章結構，預測全文內容。尾句往往是作者的點睛之筆，通過尾句一般可以更加真實、確切地體會到作者的寫作意圖、對待事件的真實態度等核心內容。

　　例：

　　From my second grade on，there was one event I feared every year：the piano recital(獨奏會)和尾句的With his first recital，my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.表明了文章的主旨：作者本來很反感彈鋼琴，但是父親的行為感動了自己。作者認為他的實際行動比30多年以前說的話更有感染力。

　　二、注重語境，理清行文邏輯

　　夾敘夾議文以敘述為主，絕大部分篇幅是在描述事件，而作者的觀點及態度往往隱含在敘述中，這就要求考生增強語篇意識，抓住文章的敘事線索，弄清文章的內在邏輯關系，根據上下文內容做出選擇，并適當進行邏輯推理是解題的關鍵。

　　三、找準標志詞，弄清故事發展模式

　　夾敘夾議文通常使用對比、強調、讓步、舉例、結論、順序和對照等手段。考生應注意觀察文章的結構特點，根據表達這些手段的銜接詞來正確理解故事情節。

　　常見標志詞有：(1)并列關系：and，not only...but also，that is to say等；(2)因果關系：because，for，so that，in order that，due to，thanks to，thus，therefore，so等；(3)對比關系：while，whereas，as，rather than，instead of等；(4)轉折關系：although，though，even if，nevertheless，despite，but，yet，however，on the contrary等；(5)遞進關系：also，then，besides，in addition，furthermore，what’s more等；(6)順序關系：first，then，on the one hand等；(7)轉變話題：by the way，what I really mean...等。
