本期的英格麗絲微笑專欄來啦。這期給大家?guī)黹喿x理解Part A部分作者態(tài)度題的高分小妙招。態(tài)度題分值占比不高,但是一旦遇到就會滿心歡喜,可謂是閱讀理解中的珍貴小甜點,簡單好上手。
今天我們就從“是什么,為什么,怎么做”三個角度帶大家領(lǐng)略一下態(tài)度題的魅力吧!
01
要知道,我們考研的閱讀文章基本上以議論文為主。議論文強調(diào)講道理,辨是非,有明確的觀點和立場態(tài)度。因此自然有了作者對事物態(tài)度的褒貶之分以及客觀態(tài)度。
舉個例子:supporting(支持的)、positive(積極的)、optimistic(樂觀的)等詞表達了作者的正向態(tài)度。同理,critical(批判的)、negative(消極的)、doubtful(質(zhì)疑的)等詞表達了作者的負(fù)面態(tài)度。除此之外,還有詞比如說objective(客觀的)、impartial(公正的),表達作者對該事物的態(tài)度很明朗中立。
由此可見,假如說,有了這樣的選項indifferent(漠不關(guān)心的),肯定不能選,因為作者怎么會對自己談?wù)摰脑掝}不感興趣呢?再比如說,biased(偏見的)也是典型的炮灰選項,因為就命題者的選文而言,斷不會選取作者對事物的觀點態(tài)度是如此不客觀還充滿偏見的。
第一步:題干:看題干確定題型,情感態(tài)度的指向?qū)ο蟆?/span>
第二步:選項:排除掉不能做正確答案的炮灰選項。
第三步:文章:回文定位+匹配,一般全文態(tài)度題考察的位置多位于尾段,或者全文中心主旨。而局部態(tài)度題以題干中定位詞的范圍來確定。關(guān)注正負(fù)向等情感態(tài)度詞,正確選項應(yīng)和原文方向一致。
話不多說,上真題!
真題示例1
題:35. The author’s attitude toward the influence of advertisement on people’s habits is .(2010 Text 3)
[A] indifferent
[B] negative
[C] positive
[D] biased
文:Through experiments and observation, social scientists like Dr. Berning have learned that there is power in tying certain behaviors to habitual cues through ruthless advertising. As this new science of habit has emerged, controversies have erupted when the tactics have been used to sell questionable beauty creams or unhealthy foods.
解析:
STEP 1:
通過題干能明確是作者態(tài)度題,對象為the influence of advertisement on people’s habits(廣告對人們習(xí)慣的影響)。
STEP 2:
A選項(indifferent漠不關(guān)心的)和D選項(偏見的)為炮灰選項,直接排除。B選項(negative消極的)和C選項(positive積極的)是相反選項。
STEP 3:
回文定位,原文尾段,第一句提到了 “ruthless advertising(無休止的廣告)”,以及第二句“As this new science of habit has emerged”, 這一句中“unhealthy(不健康的)”、“questionable(有問題的)”與題文方向進行匹配,原文信息均為負(fù)向,故選B。
真題示例2
題:25. The author’s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is .(2017 Text 1)
[A] critical
[B] tolerant
[C] uncertain
[D] sympathetic
文:But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.
解析:
STEP 1:
通過題干能明確是作者態(tài)度題,對象為what UK governments have done for sports(英國政府對運動所做的事情)。
STEP 2:
B選項(tolerant容忍的),C選項(uncertain不確定的)均為炮灰選項可排除。A選項(critical批判的)D選項(sympathetic同情的)方向一正一負(fù)。
STEP 3:
回文定位,原文尾段轉(zhuǎn)折信息處,提到了government和sports的信息。其中“declining attention on sport in education(對運動教育降低的關(guān)注度)”、“instead of wordy, worthy strategies(而不是一些冗長的,值得的策略)” “future governments need to do more(未來政府需要做的更多)”、“not make them worse(不要讓它們變得糟糕)”。暗含的意思都是目前對于政府對運動所做的舉措的態(tài)度持負(fù)向,故方向匹配,正確答案A。
真題示例3
題:30. The author's attitude to California's plan can best be described as .(2019 Text 2)
[A] ambiguous
[B] supportive
[C] tolerant
[D] cautious
文:Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. California's plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor early next year, should serve as a model.
解析:
STEP 1:
通過題干能明確是作者態(tài)度題,對象為California's plan(加利福尼亞計劃)。
STEP 2:
選項A(ambiguous模棱兩可的)和選項C(tolerant容忍的)均為炮灰選項。剩下來的是選項B(supportive支持的)和選項D(cautious謹(jǐn)慎的)。
STEP 3:
回文定位,原文尾段最后兩句可以看到對象詞California's plan。其中說該計劃“should serve as a model”應(yīng)該作為一個典范。方向正向,故選B。
好啦,今天就說到這里,是否對作者態(tài)度題有了更多認(rèn)知和好感?我們繼續(xù)加油吧!有任何疑問或想法都歡迎在評論區(qū)留言哦~
