B節(jié)1篇文章5題，考生須從7個選項中排除兩個干擾項，將正確的概括 與5段文字逐一搭配成對。這是考查考生理解文章的主旨要義的能力。它需要考生根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行判斷、推理和引申，并理解文中的概念性含義，學(xué)會抓住文章的主旨要義，理解作者的意圖、觀點或態(tài)度以及區(qū)分觀點、論點和論據(jù)的關(guān)系。
B節(jié)的內(nèi)容一般是選自報刊或雜志或訪談節(jié)目中的就某一專題對不同人進(jìn)行的調(diào)查訪問。內(nèi)容比較新穎、生活化，語言比較口語化。
B節(jié)的解題技巧有與A節(jié)共同的地方，如：
（一）抓住文章的主旨要義
如上節(jié)所說，抓主旨要義的最簡單的方式就是找主題句。值得大家注意的是：在做這類題目的時候，要注意不要將段落的局部信息或者其中的某一個例子誤以為是這段話的中心論點。
基于其難度和普遍性，在這里，我們討論有關(guān)主旨題應(yīng)考策略：
推斷短文的主旨大意題是閱讀測試中測定考生閱讀能力經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的一種題，也是考生感到最為棘手、最容易出錯的題。在PETS三考試中，主旨推斷題不僅頻繁出現(xiàn)在閱讀測試中，還專門設(shè)有一個大題（61-65）全部是有關(guān)主旨的。主旨推斷題要求考生具有很強的話語篇章把握能力和分析能力，能夠從全局的角度對文章括以總領(lǐng)，梳清脈絡(luò)?？梢哉f，對閱讀理解主旨題的把握能力決定了閱讀這個整體題項的成敗，它也是衡量閱讀水平高低的一個重要標(biāo)尺。所以，如果我們在這個題上能夠取得突破，就等于是攻克了閱讀當(dāng)中最頑固的堡壘，其它類型的題也就不在話下了。所謂主旨大意題指針對段落或短文的subject(主題)、main idea(主題思想)、title(題目)或purpose(目的)擬題。盡管題型或用詞不盡相同，但所針對的都是段落（或短文）的主旨大意。以下是針對段落（或短文）的主旨大意所設(shè)立的常見題型：
