阅读理解态度题瞬间秒杀技巧

在阅读理解的作者态度题中:

/如果选项表述的态度过于强烈或过于负面,比如悲观(pessimistic/gloomy)、恐惧(scared)、蔑视/嘲笑(contempt/scornful/disdainful)、绝望(desperate)、有害(harmful/destructive)、自以为是(conceited)、讽刺(sarcastic)等,不是答案。

/如果选项表述困惑(confused/puzzled)、漠不关心(indifference/indifferent)、不确定(uncertain/ambiguous)、犹豫(hesitancy)等,不是答案。因为作者必须表明一个明确的态度,不能模棱两可。

/如果选项表述偏见(biased),不是答案。

/如果选项表述容忍(tolerant/tolerance/permissive/indulgence),不是答案。

/如果选项表述支持(supportive)、欣赏(appreciation/appreciative)、满意(satisfaction/desirable)、肯定(positive)等,通常不是答案。

/如果选项表述怀疑(suspicion/skeptical/doubtful/questionable)、乐观(optimistic)、同情(sympathy)、客观(objective/impartial)、赞同(approval/consent)等,通常是答案。(注:此处“怀疑”是针对全文中局部内容的怀疑,如果是针对全文的怀疑,则不是答案)

第一,猜题三原则

/1.客观理性原则

某一事物是好是坏,作者对它是支持、反对还是中立,态度一般都非常明确。问作者对某事物的态度时,表示“客观”的词多为正确选项(事物是客观存在的)。如objective,impartial,unbiased等。

问作者对其提到的某人的观点的态度时,答案只能是肯定或否定,支持或反对。如critical,approval,opposition等。

另外,考试所选文章通常是理性的说明和论证,具有较强的逻辑性,作者对于所讨论话题的态度不会是偏激的。

/2.关注责任原则

既然写了文章,那么作者的态度就不可能漠不关心,因此见到indifferent,uninterested这类词可以首先排除。

一般带有绝对化或表示过于强烈的态度的词必错,如strong,complete,entire,enthusiastic等。而有所保留的态度比较客观,因此常常是正确选项,如reserved(保留的),qualified(有限制的,有条件的)等。

/3.主旨相关原则

作者观点一般与文章主旨相关联。尤其注意文章首末端和倒数第二段,特别是末段,往往是答案所在。

第二,解题方法

/第1步:看选项,首先排除不可能成为最佳选项的单词(往往含有人身攻击性的词汇,态度过于强烈或过于负面),例如:

contempt/contemptuous/scornful/disdainful(轻蔑,蔑视,嘲笑)

sarcastic/cynical(讽刺的,挖苦的)gloomy(沮丧的) disappointment(失望,沮丧)desperate(绝望的)

scared(恐惧的,害怕的)compromising(妥协的)

tolerant(容忍的)fruitless(徒劳的)

arbitrary/subjective(主观臆断的)harmful/destructive(有害的) disgusting(讨厌的)hostile(敌对的)

sensitive(敏感的):这个词汇是万能选项,因为任何议论文作者必然是对论点谈论的对象是敏感的,否则就不会写这样的议论文了。因此这个选项是适合任何议论文的作者的全文情感态度的,只有在确定排除其他选项的情况下,才可以成为正确答案,一般是直接排除。因为万能选项不能考察考生的阅读理解文章的能力,如果可以成为正确答案的话,大家看见就选那这个题目出的还有什么意思?没有任何难度。它的相近词汇有:concerned。

negative/passive(消极的)pessimistic/gloomy(悲观的) condemnable(该罚的,该受责备的)unforgiving(不可饶恕的,不可原谅的) /第2步:看选项,排除永陪选项,例如:

biased/prejudice(有偏见的)

puzzling/puzzled/confused(困惑的):作者花费了很多精力针对这个话题来进行调查研究,并且根据清晰的逻辑将调查结果写成文章,那么作者一定对这个话题非常了解,不会存疑。

indifferent(indifference)/disinterested/uninterested/impassive(漠不关心的):如果作者对于谈论的话题不关心的话怎么可能去写一篇450字左右的文章呢?既然写了就一定是关心的。

uncertain/ambiguous(不确定的,模糊的)hesitancy(犹豫) conceited/self-righteous(自以为是的)

neutral(中立的):论点必须有倾向性,必须鲜明,而该词没有任何倾向性,因此不选。

/第3步:看选项,排除选项中的相同/相近选项(相同/相近的态度一般是错误选项)

通常情况下,若两个(或三个)选项表示同一种态度,即同为正面态度或负面态度,那么这两个(或三个)选项一般是错误项。

例如某题选项如下:

[A].identical(一致的)

[B].similar(相似的)

[C].complementary(相互补充的)

[D].opposite(相反的)

这道题中,ABC是相近选项,故排除ABC,答案选D。

/第4步:如果无法排除,到原文中找表示作者感情色彩的形容词、副词、中心思想句以及举例的方式

/第5步:看选项,保留选项中可以成为正确答案的词,答案往往产生于下列选项中(注:态度都有一定的倾向性):

suspicious(suspicion)/skeptical/doubtful/questionable/questioned(怀疑的)(如果是针对全文中局部内容的怀疑,通常是答案;如果是针对全文的怀疑,通常不是答案) optimistic(乐观的)(是答案的可能性较大)

sympathy(同情的)(是答案的可能性较大)

opposition(反对)critical(批评)

approval(赞成)supportive(支持的)(是答案的可能性较小) objective/impartial(客观的):不同于neutral,该词有褒义倾向,是具有褒义色彩的中性词,可以成为答案。

positive(积极的,肯定的)(是答案的可能性较小)

satisfaction(满意)(是答案的可能性较小)

appreciation(appreciative)(欣赏)(是答案的可能性较小)

apprehensive(担忧的)surprised/amazed(惊讶的)

/第6步:看题干,判断情感态度指向的对象。(微信号:kaoyanx)

/第7步:判断该对象的性质:

如果该对象与伦理道德观念相吻合,那么应该选择含有可以成为正确答案的褒义词的选项,比如尊师重道。

如果该对象与伦理道德观念不相吻合,那么应该选择含有可以成为正确答案的贬义词的选项,比如作奸犯科。

如果该对象与伦理道德观念没有关系,那么应该选择可以成为正确答案的具有褒义色彩的中性词,比如经济的增长或衰弱。

如果该对象与伦理道德的的关系还没有形成定论,那么应该选择可以成为正确答案的具有褒义色彩的中性词,比如安乐死,我们的道德观念不认为一个人支持安乐死就说他是邪恶的,也不会认为一个人反对安乐死就说他是残忍的,我们的道德观念是允许发表任何言论。

注#1:如果判断一个题目应该选择褒义词,但是选项中没有褒义词的时候应该选择具有褒义色彩的中性词;反之亦然。

注#2:可以成为正确答案的具有褒义色彩的中性词成为正确答案的机率最大,其次是可以成为正确答案的褒义词,最后是可以成为正确答案的贬义词。

第三,真题演练

The author's attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of [A].severe criticism(严厉批评)

[B].passive acceptance(被动接受)

[C].slight hesitancy(略显犹豫)

[D].full approval(完全支持)

[解析]:根据解题原则1(客观理性原则),或参考上面的第2步,优先排除C。再

看ABD三个选项,AB都是负面态度,参考上面的第3步,应排除AB。所以答

案选D(微信号:kaoyanx)。

/例2:2014年英语(一)第35题

The author believes that the new awards are

[A].acceptable despite the criticism(尽管存在批评,还是能接受的)

[B].harmful to the culture of research(对于有关研究的文化有害)

[C].subject to undesirable changes(遭受不好的变化)

[D].unworthy of public attention(不值得公众的关注)

[解析]:题干中“believes”说明该题是态度题。(1)该题是问对事物的态度,根

据解题原则1(客观理性原则),选项A表述最为客观(含关键词“despite”),而且是

带有褒义色彩的客观,所以答案选A。(2)参考上面的第1步,B中“harmful”

表述过于负面,最不可能是答案,所以优先排除B。再看ACD三个选项,C中

“undesirable”和D中“unworthy”都是负面态度,参考上面的第3步,应排除CD。

所以答案选A。

According to Paragraph1,what is the author's attitude toward the AAAS's report? [A].Critical(批评的)

[B].Appreciative(欣赏的)

[C].Contemptuous(鄙视的)

[D].Tolerant(容忍的)

[解析]:参考上面的第1步,“Contemptuous”和“Tolerant”最不可能是答案,优先

排除CD。参考上面的第5步,“Appreciative”是答案的可能性较小,排除B,所

以可推断答案为A。可结合文章做进一步的验证。

/例4:2011年英语(一)第25题

Regarding Gilbert's role in revitalizing the Philharmonic,theauthor feels

[A].doubtful(怀疑的)

[B].enthusiastic(充满热情的)

[C].confident(有信心的)

[D].puzzled(困惑的)

[解析]:根据解题原则1(客观理性原则),或参考上面的第2步,优先排除D。再

看ABC三个选项,BC都是正面态度,参考上面的第3步,应排除BC。所以答

案选A。

/例5:2014年英语(二)第22题

The author's attitude toward Americans'watching TV is

[A].critical(批评的)

[B].supportive(支持的)

[C].sympathetic(同情的)

[D].ambiguous(模糊的)

[解析]:根据解题原则1(客观理性原则),或参考上面的第2步,D表述不确定,优先排除D。再看ABC三个选项,BC都是正面态度,参考上面的第3步,应排除BC。所以答案选A。

考研英语阅读理解试题及解析 Being a man hasalways been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females,but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal ofmale mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girlsdo. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys inthose crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, anotherchance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of ababy(particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram toolight or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost nodifference. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more agent ofevolution has gone。 There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive,but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except insome religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays thenumber of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us haveroughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and theopportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished.India shows what is happening.

考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(三) Passage 11 Dream is a story that a personwatchesor even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams. Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.

They're all groaning about soaring health budgets, the fastest-growing component of which are pharmaceutical costs. 41. What to do? Both the Romanow commission and the Kirby committee on health care-to say nothing of reports from other experts recommended the creation of a national drug agency. Instead of each province having its own list of approved drugs , bureaucracy, procedures and limited bargaining power, all would pool resources , work with Ottawa, and create a national institution. 42. But “national”doesn't have to mean that. “National”could mean inter-provincial combining efforts to create one body. Either way, one benefit of a “national”organization would be to negotiate better prices, if possible, with drug manufacturers. Instead of having one province-or a series of hospitals within a province-negotiate a price for a given drug on the provincial list, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of all provinces. Rather than, say, Quebec, negotiating on behalf of seven million people, the national agency would negotiate on behalf 31 million people. Basic economics suggests the greater the potential consumers, the higher the likelihood of a better price.

2020年考研英语阅读模拟试题及答案(2)

2020年考研英语阅读模拟试题及答案(2) The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists for more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighed in some cases as much as a piloted hang-glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters, solved the problems of powered flight, and exactly what these creatures were — reptiles or birds — are among the questions scientists have puzzled over. Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharpclaws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs walked on all fours, the three short fingers may have been employed for grasping. When a pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only turn upward in an extended inverted V shape along each side of the animal’s body. The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions. This is not surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. In the birds, however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal struts.

2018考研英语一阅读:态度题解题技巧

2018考研英语一阅读:态度题解题技巧【解题方法】作者态度分类法 1. 在判断感情色彩时,应结合以下两点。 1)作者态度可以分为三大类:a. 正向态度:支持,乐观,赞同; b. 客观、中立、公正;c. 负向态度:反对、批评、怀疑 2)特别注意作者的态度一般与文章中心相联系。不要把自己的态度纳入其中,而且要注意区分作者的态度和作者引用别人的态度。 2. 匹配选项。匹配选项时应该注意: 1)有些选项一定不是正确答案(永陪选项):indifferent(漠不关心);subjective(主观的);biased(有偏见的);puzzled(迷惑不解的)。 2)一般带有绝对化或者过于强烈的语气的选项必然是错误的,如:strongly;completely;entirely。 3. 态度题的新趋势: 1)现在题目的考察不仅仅局限于作者的态度,也开始考察文章中某人的观点和态度,做题时特别应该注意看清楚题目考察的是谁对谁的态度。 2)选项可能不在是态度明确的肯定或者否定的词,而是改为带有程度限制的词语,带有如下词语的选项往往是正确的:guarded慎重的,qualified有条件的,tempered缓和的,因为带有保留态度的观点比较客观,一般带有绝对化或者过于强烈的语气的选项必然是错误的,如:strongly completely entirely 【解题步骤】 1.判断选项ABCD的态度正负向,将四个选项进行分类(正向,负向) 2.根据关键词,回文定位判断态度。 【例题】2015年Text 2 They should start by discarding California's lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone - a vast storehouse of digital information - is similar to, say, rifling through a suspect's purse. The court has ruled that police don't violate the Fourth Amendment when they sift through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. 27. The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of [A] disapproval. [B] indifference. [C] tolerance. [D] cautiousness. 【解题步骤应用】 1 判断选项态度的正负向 [A] disapproval反对的(负) [B] indifference漠不关心的(中立) [C] tolerance包容(正) [D] cautiousness谨慎的(正) 2 回文判断态度 They should start by discarding California's lame argument 因此,根据文章的discarding,可以确定是表示负向否定态度,因此答案选A。 其实看看凯程考研怎么样,最简单的一个办法,看看他们有没有成功的学生,最直观的

2018考研英语冲刺阶段阅读细节题解题秘诀

2018考研英语冲刺阶段阅读细节题解题 秘诀 首先,根据题干关键词,回文定位。细节题一定考察考生对于文中某一细节信息的具体理解,因此根据关键词精确回文定位是解题之关键。考生只要能精确回文定位,细节题已经成功了一半。 其次,准确理解定位句。由于细节题必定考察文章当中的某一具体信息,而不是我们的常识,所以考生要重点分析这个定位句。但是,有时候答案并不是蕴含于一个句子,而是在定位句的前一句或者后一句。 最后,和选项进行精确比对,直击答案。一般来说,细节题的正确答案是一定是原文信息的同义改写。因此,考生能否准确理解定位句和进行同义改写决定其在细节题的成败。 下面以最近2012-2014年真题为例,为大家详细剖析细节题解题秘诀。 真题:2014年Text 1 26. A lot of students take up law as their profession due to _______. [A] the growing demand from clients [B] the increasing pressure of inflation [C] the prospect of working in big firms [D] the attraction of financial rewards During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare. 【直击答案】根据题干A lot of students take up law as their profession due to,可以定位至该段第二句,其中 A lot of students take up law as their profession是more students to pile into law schools的同义改写。准确理解定位句“The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools.”(最好的律师挣钱极多,这吸引更多的学生想要挤进法学院。)由此可以判断很多学生从事法律史由于“律师挣钱极多”。题干中due to是文中tempting的改写。因此,选项D the attraction of financial rewards(金钱回报的吸引)是原文The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money的改写。 真题:2013年Text 1 21.

考研英语模拟试题:阅读理解 Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what anice facelooked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe anice person,you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm,and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms. People have always tried totypeeach other. Actors in early Greek

With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is ratherdifficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be―even admitting thatthe theory on which it is based may be right―it can hardly beclassed as Literature。 This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: for a century, pastconditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in aworld of noise and violence and speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts andemotions have undergone a corresponding change. This speeding up of life, saysthe Futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up ourliterature too, if we want to interpret modern stress. We must pour out a largestream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, orfinite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitatethem; we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the samepage, and shorten or lengthen words at will。 Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused.

2020年考研英语阅读模拟试题:理学类(5) The once radical notion that birds descended from dinosaurs——or may even be dinosaurs, the only living branch of the family that ruled the earth eons ago——has got stronger and stronger since paleontologists first started taking it seriously a couple of decades ago. Remarkable similarities in bone structure between dinos and birds were the first clue. Then came evidence, thanks to a series of astonishing discoveries in China's Liaoning province over the past five years, that some dinosaurs may have borne feathers. But a few scientists still argued that the link was weak; the bone similarities could be a coincidence, they said. And maybe those primitive structures visible in some fossils were feathers——but maybe not. You had to use your imagination to see them. Not anymore. A spectacularly preserved fossil of a juvenile dinosaur, announced by a team of paleontologists from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and New York City's American Museum of Natural History in the latest issue of Nature, is about as good a missing link as anyone could want. “It has things that are undeniably feathers,” exults Richard Prum, of the University of Kansas Natural History Museum,an expert on the evolution of feathers. “But it is clearly a small, vicious theropod similar to the velociraptors that chased the kids around the kitchen in Jurassic Park.” The find helps cement the dinosaur-bird connection, but it also casts new light on the mystery of why nature invented feathers in the first place. For the better part of a century,
