问题 The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)

选项 1、What’s this passage about?
A. France
B. King Louis
C. The French Revolution
D. Europe

答案C

解析这是一道主旨题,本题询问这篇短文是关于什么主题的,即中心大意。一般来讲,一篇文章的中心大意可能位于文首或文尾,也有可能隐藏在整篇文章之中。同时,一篇文章的主题也常常是文中出现频率较高的名词,它们往往体现文章的主题。这篇文章的第一句话“The French Revolution broke out in 1789.”(1789年法国大革命爆发)随后在文章里又相继出现了两次Revolution和一次The Revolution of France,同时通过浏览我们也可以判断出这篇文章是围绕法国大革命爆发的背景、过程及带来的影响而展开叙述的,由此可知这篇文章的中心大意就是有关法国大革命,因此正确答案是C。选项A和D所指的范围太宽泛,选项B的范围又过于狭隘。
