大題沖關(guān)秘笈-第6輯閱讀理解（題型類）五觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題

學(xué)必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精學(xué)必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精學(xué)必求其心得，業(yè)必貴于專精 作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題就是指針對作者的寫作意圖、觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度和對事件的評價(jià)設(shè)問的閱讀理解題目。作者在文章中不僅客觀地進(jìn)行敘述和說明，往往還持有某種態(tài)度,如對某一觀點(diǎn)或贊同或反對，或肯定或批評。因此這類題主要考查學(xué)生對作者的觀點(diǎn)、感情、態(tài)度、寫作目的和意圖的理解能力。作者的觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度除了直接表達(dá)外，還經(jīng)常在文章中間接表達(dá)出來?？忌梢酝ㄟ^全文的敘述，從文章的主要內(nèi)容去理解作者的觀點(diǎn)；有時(shí)作者也會在文章中用特殊的詞匯表達(dá)自己的思想感情。同學(xué)們要從文章中的用詞、語氣或?qū)δ硞€細(xì)節(jié)的陳述來推斷作者的態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)等。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題的題干形式：作者態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題考查目標(biāo)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(xiàn)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(jià)。作者觀點(diǎn)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(dá)人物的情感、觀點(diǎn)、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(yīng)學(xué)會揣測和體會。在判斷的過程中,應(yīng)特別注意表達(dá)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(zhuǎn)折詞的使用.千萬不能主觀臆斷、憑空想象、隨意揣測.在進(jìn)行答案選擇的時(shí)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(jù)文章的主題，考生也可進(jìn)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(yīng)用文的目的一般是推銷產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)（topersuade或toadvertise）;議論文的目的要闡述論點(diǎn)（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(xué)會選

擇。抓全文,還是細(xì)節(jié)？是單詞堆砌的字面意思還是蘊(yùn)含意義？有時(shí)閱讀理解材料很簡單，但設(shè)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(lǐng)悟其蘊(yùn)含意義,從而無法避開選項(xiàng)設(shè)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(rèn)真讀懂文章,掌握其主要內(nèi)容，這樣才能正確解題。在教學(xué)實(shí)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(jié)構(gòu)的主線以及各關(guān)鍵句子的主謂結(jié)構(gòu)；＂一問＂，即根據(jù)文章后面所設(shè)問題來發(fā)問:此題的考點(diǎn)在哪里？抓住了全文的主題思想，領(lǐng)會了貫穿全文結(jié)構(gòu)的主線，把握了關(guān)鍵句的主謂結(jié)構(gòu),做題準(zhǔn)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(xiàng)正確。3。D【解析】考查觀點(diǎn)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(xiàng)正確。

4。A【解析】考查代詞指代。根據(jù)最后一段中的＂Theselocalcitizensnowhavetobalancetheirtraditional self—supportinghuntinglifestylewiththelifestyleofferedbythemodernFrenchRepublic,whichbringswithit Passage1(2017屆南昌市第二中學(xué)高三上學(xué)期第四次考試） IsitpossiblethatthesinkingoftheTitanicwascausedbyaghost?Alotofthestorybelowistrue…butdiditreallyhappenquitelikethis?
