　　三、段落理解題的題目設置規律
　　○段首句開門見山引出主題或故事發生環境，往往設置為考點
　　○因果關系中的原因是必考內容，不管直接或間接提到的原因都會用why來提問
　　○形容詞副詞形式一旦出現，則此句即成為考點，如：the most important reason is……; their biggest trouble was……; he worked most efficiently when ……
　　○故事題中的一個關鍵動詞，人物所說的一句意味深長的話需要找到同義解釋
　　○說明文中的數字年代和概念往往需要在選項中重新定位
　　○人物題中的重要年代及相關歷史事件需要重新搭配定位，不做記錄容易混淆
　　○議論文中有時自問自答，問題將成為考題，回答內容即正確選項
　　○議論文中只要出現I think……, I believe it’s true that……, In my opinion……等表達，就會重新問及speaker的觀點態度； 沒有這些表達則段首句是其觀點
