大題沖關秘笈-第6輯閱讀理解（題型類）五觀點態(tài)度題

學必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精學必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精學必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精 作者觀點態(tài)度題就是指針對作者的寫作意圖、觀點態(tài)度和對事件的評價設問的閱讀理解題目。作者在文章中不僅客觀地進行敘述和說明，往往還持有某種態(tài)度,如對某一觀點或贊同或反對，或肯定或批評。因此這類題主要考查學生對作者的觀點、感情、態(tài)度、寫作目的和意圖的理解能力。作者的觀點和態(tài)度除了直接表達外，還經常在文章中間接表達出來?？忌梢酝ㄟ^全文的敘述，從文章的主要內容去理解作者的觀點；有時作者也會在文章中用特殊的詞匯表達自己的思想感情。同學們要從文章中的用詞、語氣或對某個細節(jié)的陳述來推斷作者的態(tài)度、觀點等。觀點態(tài)度題的題干形式：作者態(tài)度觀點題考查目標比較明確，題干一般都含有accordingtothewriter，attitude,opinion，believe,consider，regard等詞或短語。這類題目除了考查作者在整篇文章中所表現的態(tài)度和寫作意圖外，有的還考查作者對具體的某個人或事物的態(tài)度或評價。作者觀點態(tài)廈題的題干主要有以下幾種形式：1.Whatisthepurposeofthetext？／Thepurposeofthepassageisto________。2。Whatistheopinionofthewriterinthispassage？ 3。What’stheauthor'sattitudetowards…?4。Whoaretheintendedreadersofthepassage？5。Whatdoestheauthormeanbysaying＂…＂?6。Fromthe…paragraph，whatdoyouthinktheauthorwantstotellus?

策略一：不武斷,不臆斷 作者表達人物的情感、觀點、意圖既可能隱含在文章的字里行間，也可能流露于修飾的詞語之中，考生應學會揣測和體會。在判斷的過程中,應特別注意表達感情色彩的形容詞，首段、尾段的中心思想,以及句子、段落間轉折詞的使用.千萬不能主觀臆斷、憑空想象、隨意揣測.在進行答案選擇的時候一定要在行文中找到較為充分的信息支撐，不要把自己的態(tài)度夾雜其中，能正確區(qū)分是作者的態(tài)度還是作者引用別人的態(tài)度。根據文章的主題，考生也可進行大方向的判斷。故事類記敘文的目的通常是娛樂讀者（toentertain）；廣告類應用文的目的一般是推銷產品或服務（topersuade或toadvertise）;議論文的目的要闡述論點（toargue）;科普、文化類說明文的目的大多是介紹知識，使大家廣聞博見（toinform）。 策略二：真正＂讀懂＂作者 要提高做此類題的正確率，一定要真正讀懂作者，而不是只浮于表面.在這個過程中，我們要學會選

擇。抓全文,還是細節(jié)？是單詞堆砌的字面意思還是蘊含意義？有時閱讀理解材料很簡單，但設題很具有迷惑性，考生正確率反而不高.其原因是：考生只從字面意義上解題，沒有真正領悟其蘊含意義,從而無法避開選項設置上的一些陷阱.對于閱讀材料簡單的題，考生不能掉以輕心，要認真讀懂文章,掌握其主要內容，這樣才能正確解題。在教學實踐中,很多老師都主張把＂三主一問＂作為考生做閱讀理解題的解題思路。所謂＂三主＂（主題、主線、主謂）,即抓文章的主題思想、文章結構的主線以及各關鍵句子的主謂結構；＂一問＂，即根據文章后面所設問題來發(fā)問:此題的考點在哪里？抓住了全文的主題思想，領會了貫穿全文結構的主線，把握了關鍵句的主謂結構,做題準確率低的問題也就容易解決了。

Thesepicturesshow.。.＂可知，Gin是以一名攝影師的身份介紹圭亞那的.所以D項正確。3。D【解析】考查觀點態(tài)度。由第三段中的＂IhaveaspeciallovefortheFrenchGuianesepeople＂＂Idon'tsee itasalawlessland。ButratherIseeitasanareaoffreedom＂可知,Gin很欣賞圭亞那土著人的生活方式。所 以D項正確。
