　　小结题是每一篇文章后的那一道大题，需要从六个选项中选出三个作为正确答案，每一题两分。我们首先来分析一下这个题目的题干要求：
　　An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage.

　　让我们来看一道例题:
　　13-14. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some answer choices do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.
　　
　　This passage discusses fossils that help to explain the likely origins of cetaceans--whales, porpoises, and dolphins.
　　Answer Choices
　　1. Recent discoveries of fossils have helped to show the link between land mammals and cetaceans.
　　2. The discovery of Ambulocetus natans provided evidence for a whale that lived both on land and at sea.
　　3. The skeleton of Basilosaurus was found in what had been the Tethys Sea, an area rich in fossil evidence.
　　4. Pakicetus is the oldest fossil whale yet to be found.
　　5. Fossils thought to be transitional forms between walking mammals and swimming whales were found.
　　6. Ambulocetus' hind legs were used for propulsion in the water.
　　这是每篇文章后的一个大题，基于全文的基础进行提问，所以，我们可以根据文章的关键句，先来判断这篇文章的主要内容。以下摘选了文章的每个自然段的关键句，我们一起来看一下：
　　
　　THE ORIGINS OF CETACEANS
　　自然段：It should be obvious that cetaceans-whales, porpoises, and dolphins-are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. …
　　第二自然段：Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. …
　　第三自然段：The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinct group of ancestors of modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. …
　　第四自然段：Another major discovery was made in Egypt in 1989. Several skeletons of another early whale, Basilosaurus, were found in sediments left by the Tethys Sea and now exposed in the Sahara desert. …
　　第五自然段：An even more exciting find was reported in 1994, also from Pakistan. The now extinct whale Ambulocetus natans ("the walking whale that swam") lived in the Tethys Sea 49 million years ago. …
　　
　　首先，自然段综述关于鲸类动物是哺乳动物的事实，到了第二自然段开始揭示鲸类动物起源的具体细节，说到科学家有一些重要发现，到了第三自然段开始交待种化石的名称Pakicetus。第四自然段又提到另外一种化石发现，名字为Basilosaurus，后一自然段提到第三种化石发现Ambulocetus natans，总结来说，这篇文章通过介绍三个化石来揭示了鲸类的起源。
