2015年成人学位英语阅读理解解题方法：态度题
态度题
一篇文章不可避免地会反映作者的观点、态度和情绪。能否正确地把握作者的观点和态度是体现学生阅读理解能力的一个重要方面。这类题目主要是考查学生能否正确理解作者的写作意图、所持的观点及阐述文章主题时的语气或对他所论述的对象的态度。命题者命制这类题时往往涉及对有争议问题的看法，对事物的评价——作者持什么样的态度？是赞同还是反对?是同情、冷漠、失望还是批评、表扬？
(一)常见的提问形式
The author's main purpose in this passage is ...
The author's purpose of writing this passage is...
In this passage the author's attitude toward.., could best be described as...
What is the author's attitude towards...
. The author's main thought is that...
. The author's probably feels that...
. The writer discusses.., in order to illustrate which of the following?
. In this passage the author looks on ... with an attitude of...
. What is the tone/mood of the passage?
. The author argues in the passage that...
. According to the author...
解作者态度(attitude)或语气(tone)题，关键在于把握作者对全文主体事物(与主题有关)或某一具体事物的态度。由于作者态度主要由语言来表达，因此必须弄清有关表达褒义、中性和贬义的手段。
1.加入形容词定语。
例如：A.His words were few.
B.His interesting words were few.
假如A为中性叙述的话，那么B则体现了说话人对“He”的正面评价。
又如：C.They are all seniors.
D.They are all premature seniors.
同样，假如C项为中性叙述，那么由于加入形容词定语“premature”，D项表达了一种贬义。
2.加入副词状语。加入的副词状语通常是对动词的叙述加以界定。
例如：He successfully makes the travel plan.(表明一种正面态度);They speak clumsily.(表明一种负面态度)
3.特殊动词。英语中有些动词也表明说话者的正负态度，如：fail(未能)、ignore(忽视)、overestimate(估计过高)等动词表示一种负态度。由上可知，确定作者态度，可以有两种思路：问全文主体事物的(包括主题)，可以根据阐述主题或有关主体事物的相关句中的形容词、副词或动词，确定作者的态度;如果问的是对某一具体事物的态度，则可以定位到具体相关句，然后确定答案。
例l3
English folk singers have adopted a conventional method of singing. During the performance the eyes are closed,the head is upraised,and a rigid expression of counte-nance is maintained until the song is finished. A short pause follows the conclusion,and then the singer relaxes his attitude and repeats in his ordinary voice the last line of the song, or its title. This is the invariably ritual or formal occasions. It does not proceed from any lack of appreciation. The English peasant is by nature a shy man and unde- monstrative, and on ceremonious occasions, as when he is singing before an audience, he becomes very nervous and restrained, and welcomes the shelter afforded by conven-tion.
The tone of this passage is best described as
A. persuading
B. pleading
C. matter-of-fact
D. ironic
这篇文章的语气是什么?是劝说性的A，或是恳求性的B，或客观的叙述C，或讽刺批评D?通读全文，我们体会不出A，B和D的语气。作者只是实事求是地描述英国乡村歌手的演唱风格及其造成的原因。因此C是答案。
例14
Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible.If we are to solve the nursing shortage(不足)，hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.
At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state.Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’S illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.
The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization，keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor.If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment，it is
not uncommon for his nurse to propose an- other approach to his doctor.What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.
Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized(分散的)nursing administra- tion;every floor，every unit is a self-contained organization.There are nurse-manag-ers instead of head nurses：in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hir-ing and dismissin9，employee advisin9，and they make salary recommendations.Each unit’S nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.
Beth Israel’S nurse—in—chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hos-pital.She also is a member of the Medical Executive Committee，which in most hospi-tals includes only doctors.
The author’S attitude towards the nursing system at Beth Israel hospital is
A.negative
B.neutral
C.critical
D.positive
这道题与文章主题有关，只需看主题句——文章首句：Nursing at Beth Israel Hos-pital produces the best patient care possible.就可以了，由其中的褒义形容词“best”可以推出作者对Beth Israel Hospital护理体制的褒扬，因此D为正确答案。
例l5
Where do pesticides (杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world? We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause ex- tremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposes to sufficient quantities of pesti-cides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (积累的) over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his life- time. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,"says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed. "
What is the author's attitude towards the environmental effects of pesticides.?
A. Pessimistic.
C. Defensive.
B. Indifferent.
D. Concerned.
对这个问题的回答需要对全文主题有较好的把握：作者一开始就指出杀虫剂对环境的破坏，由此感慨人类可能受到影响;作者在第二段和第三段提醒人们不仅要注意大剂量的杀虫剂可以杀人，而且更要注意小剂量杀虫剂进入人体后日积月累所造成的更大危害，可是人们往往忽视后者所造成的危害。由作者提出这个问题并指出其危害，可见作者关心这个问题，因此D为正确答案。C 的说法：“为杀虫剂对环境造成的后果进行辩护”不合逻辑，为错误选项。
除了知道如何寻找答案外，了解答案本身的含义也很重要;有些考生能对作者的态度做出正确判断，但对答案理解不清，也找不到正确答案。用于作者态度题选项的词可以按照经常一起出现的频率分为几大类。
A
positive肯定的，赞成的approving赞成的
negative否定的，反对的critical批评的
questioning质问的neutral中立的
detached不偏不倚的suspicious怀疑的
doubtful不敢肯定的compromising妥协的
tolerant忍让的
B
indifferent不感兴趣的，不偏不倚的unconcerned不关心的
concerned关注的worried担忧的
pessimistic悲观的depressed沮丧的
confident有信心的optimistic乐观的
interested感兴趣的impressed有深刻印象的
contemptuous鄙视的hostile有敌意的
C
subjective主观的personal有个人观点的，感情的
persuasive说服人的biased带偏见的
opinionated固执己见的objective客观的
impersonal不带个人感情的informative提供信息的
factual实事求是的impartial不偏袒的
D
formal正式的reverent恭敬的
polite拘束的informal非正式的
casual随便的familiar熟悉的
(二)总结
在判断作者观点态度时，应注意以下几方面。
1.有时作者先介绍某一种观点，接着又在后面提出了相反的观点。要正确判断作者的态度或观点，必须将上下文联系起来看。
2.必须注意文章中所陈述的内容并不都代表作者的观点，应加以区别判断。
3.作者也可通过使用词汇的手段来暗示自己对文中某一具体问题所持的态度和观点。这时，要仔细琢磨文中所用词汇的特点，弄明白作者的真实意图和倾向。
4.利用文章的中心思想和题材结构推断作者的态度。科技文章一般坚持实事求是的客观态度;议论则是表明对某件事情的主观看法，或赞成或反对或表扬或批评。

工商管理学位英语考试模拟题—阅读理解题 1. The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹)in a corner, and no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, "On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion etc. Of course, an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as "a marvelous jewel", while the Englishman will flatly state "Um,

短文写作本部分采用提纲、情景或图表作文等考试形式。考生应按照要求写出一篇100～120个词的英语短文。本部分满分为15分，考试时间为30分钟 以下谈谈各部分题的答题技巧： 一、单选题 考查覆盖面通常较广，涉及动词及动词短语、时态语态、从句、非谓语动词、倒装、主谓一致、交际用语等，这部分试题也很少是 单个的句子，大多为并列句或复合句，因此我们应学会根据语篇知 识来掌握答题技巧，尤其是要注意句子之间的解释、对比、转折、 因果等关系。 1．利用动词词组中的介词或副词确定正确选项 2．利用动词词组中的动词确定选项 3．释义参照型＋近义词 4．因果参照型＋近义词 5．转折或反义与对比参照型 6．反义对比参照型＋近义词 7．语意环境参照型 8．根据词的同现确定正确选择项 二、完型填空 答完形填空题有一定的技巧。每一段会有一个词，是作者意图与你分享情感、态度、价值观的核心所在，一般来说，第一段说的是 全文的故事，有中心概括全文，然后一层一层往下讲。所以第一段 的题可以慢一点做。每一段第一句都有一个特点：是一个主题句， 中间有一个名词。完型填空解题四步法原则：第一步：跳读。第二步：选答。第三步：推敲。第四步：复查。
高考英语阅读理解——出题与解题方法（杨老师） 应用文（抓题干）广告、通知记叙文（划时、人、事）说明文（找主题句）特点：分值重，知识广，篇幅大，用时多。题型上主要有细节题、推理题、主旨题、猜词题等。 开卷准备：九字真诀不要怕，划一划（划主题，难句，划核心词），X一X（答题时） 一、细节理解题（标记定位法） 一般只针对某个特定的细节，题型可以多种多样。此类题型一般分两种。第一种是直接理解题(细1)，在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二种是词义转换题(细2)，正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的转换。做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节，所选答案切不可望文生义。特别注意句子的逻辑关系。如：表因果的because, since, as等；表转折的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。 二、推理判断题（用细节推） 考查考生根据已知信息做出合理的推断或判断，包括要求考生体会作者的态度、观点、意图等。常用提问方式有：We can infer/learn from the（last） paragraph that. It can be concluded from the passage that. The passage implies/suggests that. What can be concluded from the passage? The author's purpose of writing the passage is.这需要学生读懂原文，完全理解文中的细节信息，对其进行分析、推算，从而得出正确的结论。 三、语义猜测题（构词法、语境法） 要注意从以下三个方面着手： 1）标点符号或同位语部分，and或or猜 2）根据对比、因果关系猜 but，however，yet，otherwise，though这些表转折，because, since与as是连接原因状语从句的从属连词， 3）根据构词法知识猜测词义：UN- IN- IM-- dis mis 派生，合成，转化，缩略，知道词根和前缀或后缀的意义，就可猜出组成的新词词义。 Because you can’t see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. 四、主旨大意题（重点）哪怕没读懂全文，懂了中心句，一样能做对题 （寻找主题句）文章主题与段落主题 一般来说，文章主题都在第一段或最后一段表明。某一段的主题句也常出现在段首或段尾，而且常有一些表归纳关系的信号词，如in short, In a word, in brief, to sum up, to conclude等。 其常用提问方式主要有：What is the main idea/topic of the passage? The central point of the selection is that. The author is mainly concerned with. The passages mainly about等。

学位英语考试通关经验分享 学位英语为什么难？学位英语很难，这是不争的事实！很多之前感觉英语基础还不错的考生，第一次学位英语成绩却只有40多分，为什么得分这么低，认为有如下四点： 一、考试规律难把握 学位英语是小范围考试，参考人数较少，大多地区没有指定的考试教材，历年真题不对外公布，考生自己难以把握命题规律。 二、学位英语命题难 词汇难：词汇量大，要求4000-5000左右，有些是高难词汇；成人考生不易掌握，也不易记住，产生了恐慌心理； 语法难：对于成人考生来说，学过的语法早已经忘记，感觉没有重点，记忆有困难，只能死记硬背； 阅读难：文章题量大，阅读量大，难词多，要么看不懂，要么看懂了做不对题；没有掌握答题技巧； 完型难：词汇和语法掌握不牢固的情况下，在语篇中很难做好完型填空。 翻译难（部分地区题型）：翻译是很多考生的噩梦，有时候看不懂，或者看懂了，却表达不出来，白白失分； 写作难（部分地区题型）：不熟悉评分标准，经常是有想法，表达不出来；后者根本无话可说，语言贫乏； 三、学位英语资料较少 市面上有针对性的资料较少，因为现在的学位英语考试全国还没有统一出题。很多考生如果买了过时的资料，质量不高，或者使用了不符合本省市考试题型的资料给备考造成困难。 四、考生基础比较弱，复习起来难 很多考生英语基础本来就不太好，再加上工作多年，对考试比较陌生，平时的工作重，备考时间少，基础不扎实，复习起来难。 复习备考方法不对，抓不住学位英语的复习重点，偏离考试命题方向。五大误区让部分考生梦断学位： 误区一：抓不住重点，往往把时间和精力都花在那种怎么用功都没办法快速提升的地方去。 误区二：方法不对，有些考生只知道死记硬背，不知道答题的方法和技巧。 误区三：没有计划，复习很随意，有些考生计划做的不对，在备考的过程中不能有的放矢。
英语阅读理解解题技巧-解题步骤 在做阅读理解时，可遵循三部曲的原则，即：快速阅读短文;认真逐题作答;复查校对答案。 第一步，快速阅读短文;通读测试题，明确考查点。 先读题，明确题目要求，弄清考点，然后带着问题去读文章，这种方法在英语中称为scanning，就是寻读。快速阅读一遍弄清段落大意，对全文有一个整体了解，阅读时从宏观入手，掌握中心意思，注意哪些用以说明中心意思的主要事实和细节，抓住关键词，弄清作者写此篇文章的目的及意图。如遇到生词，应先跳过，继续通读全文，切忌长时间死扣生词，因为有些生词并不影响对全文的理解，还有一些词可以通过上下文推测含义。 第二步，认真逐题作答。 看完短文后，对整篇短文的内容有了大致的了解，然后马上看后面的问题，带着问题去找答案。如果属于客观信息题，就可直接在短文中找到出处。如果是主观判断题，则应迅速再读全文，仔细分析思考，将近似的答案对照原文反复比较，推敲，选出最佳答案。 第三步，仔细校对所选答案。 做完所有题目后，再读一遍短文，逐一检查所有答案是否有误。如果有拿不定主意的答案，不要随意更改。一定要从原文中找到依据，方可更正。 -阅读技巧 ①要快速浏览全文，掌握主旨和大意，特别注意文章的主题句，理出作者的写作思路。(What is the idea?What are facts?)
②要尽快浏览课文后的思考题，尽量带着问题读; ③完成事实细节题时，要找到定位句; ④要把有关WHO，WHAT，WHERE，HOW和WHY等方面内容用笔圈画出来。 ⑤遇到推理判断题时，要注意作者的态度和命题人的意图，不可从个人的经验出发。 “做英语阅读理解时，答题也有讲究。如果同学们具备一定的答题技巧，那么最终将事半功倍。”王老师说，做猜测词义题、细节理解题、主旨归纳题、推理判断题都有一定的技巧。 英语阅读理解解题技巧一、猜测词义题 阅读理解经常会遇到生词，这些生词怎么解决呢?这就需要一些猜词的技巧。 (一)根据生活常识猜测词义 Children are always boasting.They say things like“My Dad's car is bigger than your Dad's，”“My Mom is smarter than yours.”and“My family has more money than yours.” The word“boasting” means __B___ A.骄傲 B.吹牛 C.顽皮 D.幼稚 Many plants and animals are going extinct.Mammoths，which are related(有关联的) with Asia elephants，are now extinct.There are no mammoths in the world today. 1.A mammoth is a kind of _C___.

Sample Test Part I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes,40 points) Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). After you read a passage you should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience. A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ fire dril l has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem. I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation. 1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________. A) it was in bad weather B) there were “deaf spots” C) a big fire started D) it was at the weekend 2. The phrase “in the long run”(L.2,Pa rt.2)means_________. A)effectively B) endlessly C) eventually D) efficiently 3. Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_______.

It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for the advertisement. However, if large-scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them. 1. Advertisement is often used to _______. A. deceive customers B. increase production C. arouse suspicion D. push the sale 2.
