42、体,推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的, 通常作者的写作目的有以下三种:1) to entertain readers(娱乐读者,让人发笑) ,常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers(说服读者接受某种观点)常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers(告知读者某些信息)多见于科普类新闻报道类文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。(2)根据用词风格,推断情感态度。一篇好的文章,其用词风格常常直接流露或蕴含作者的内心世界和情感态度。所以阅读时要善于捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的词句或短语,捕捉那些烘托气氛,渲染
43、情感的词句,进而很好地洞察作者的思想倾向,是支持、反对抑或中立?对于选项而言,要分清选项中的褒义词、中性词和贬义词,以此对照全文。如:1)表示褒义的词语:positive 赞成的,supporting 支持的,praising 赞扬的,optimistic 乐观的,admiring 羡慕的,enthusiastic 热情的等;2)表示中性的词语:uninterested 无兴趣的,不感兴趣的; neutral 中立的;impersonal 不带个人感情的;subjective 主观的;objective 客观的等;3)表示贬义的词语:disgusted 感到恶心的,厌恶的;critical 批
44、评的;negative 否定的,反对的;suspicious 怀疑的;tolerant 容忍的,忍让的;worried 担忧的等。 (3)根据写作思路,推断段落发展。不同的文体,写作思路和写作手法也不尽相同。做题时,要善于体会作者的写作思路,揣摩作者的谋篇布局,从宏观上左右文章的结构框架;同时,还要把握作者行文时所运用的修辞手段,如对比、举例、下定义等。通过梳理写作思路,明晰写作手法,即可对文章的发展做出比较科学合理的推断和预测。(4)根据事实细节,推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话
45、,也可是某几句话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理,也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说,要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意,切忌片面思考,得出片面结论。例如:本题中的第 3 小题:3.A【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断题中的(4)根据事实细节,推断合理信息。.【答案定位】根据分析,可知选 A。DChina officially informed the World Trade Organization on Tuesday that it will ban the import of 24 different
