阅读理解主旨大意题解题技法之一：读首段(句)抓大意
有些文章或段落的主题句居首，即常常出现在文章或段落的开头，开门见山，提出主题，随之用细节来解释，支撑或发展主题句所表达的主题思想，在说明文、议论文、科技文献和新闻报道中多采用这种格式。因此，要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句和首段。同样，寻找段落的主旨大意则要研究段落的首句。
[真 题 典 例]
(2014·合肥模拟)Some supermarkets have a special way of getting people to come to the bakery counters.Sometimes they spray a“cake smell”into the air.At other times they spray the fresh smell of baking bread.These smells are enough to make people's mouths water.The customers then race madly to the counter to buy cake，bread，rolls，and other baked goods!
The main idea of the paragraph is________.
A.what cake smells like
B.why bakeries make money
C.how people are attracted to bakery counters
D.what bakery counters in supermarkets sell
答案 C [本文的首句交待“有些超市有一个让顾客来面包柜买面包”方法，下面便介绍这个方法。所以C项是最佳选项。A项指蛋糕的味道，这是具体的信息。B项文章没有提及，D项侧重所卖的内容而不是卖的方法，所以也不是本段的主题。]
[学 以 致 用]
