主旨性题目
我们说主旨性题目属于最高一个级别的层次是因为在做这一类题目是我们经常要站在全文的角度看问题，即通常是在我们阅读完通篇，对文章的整体思想，作者态度等有一个把握后才能顺利解答这类题目。常见的主旨性题目包括：
A 主旨题：
赤裸裸的问你这篇文章的主旨是什么，常见形式有：
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 _____________
在双篇文章组合的段落阅读里出题人经常会拿两篇文章的主旨作比对，所以我们还会看到：
B 求同题：

P1 is similar/ analogous/ parallel /akin to P2 in that_______________
X in P1 is most like ________ in P2?

D 互联题：
既不考相同也不考对立，出题人要求考生说出两篇文章的关系。常见形式有：
① Which best describes the relationship between the two passages?
② ____ in one passage would most likely + VERB +___ in another passage?
从上面的内容中就可以发现，所有SAT文章阅读中的主旨性题型都是需要大家对整体的全面内容的了解的的。所以如果在考试中遇到了这些题目，一定要记得从宏观从大处着眼，这样才能更有可能挑中正确答案。
