1、三、观点态度类 1.观点态度类题目的设题方式常见的观点态度类的题型有以下几种形式:(1)The author writes this passage to.(2)The author in this passage intends to.(3)The authors main purpose in writing this passage is to.(4)Why does the author write this passage?(5)Whats the purpose of the text?(6)How does the author seem to feel about.?2.观点态
2、度类阅读理解的备考策略观点态度类的题和了解文章大意有所不同,后者要知道文章的中心思想是什么;而前者是要知道作者为什么要写这篇文章。例如,一篇报导有关美国离婚内容的文章,其中心思想可能是高离婚率对美国社会、家庭、当事者以及他们子女的影响,而作者写这篇文章的目的却是引起社会的关注,或要人们对离婚持谨慎的态度。作者通常采用的论述方法有:(1)摆事实,讲道理,论证自己的观点。(2)只介绍和传递信息,并不发表自己的看法。(3)从多方面阐述意义或重要性。(4)分析某事物的危险性,并提出警告。(5)从多方面或多角度分析原因或因素。(6)用事实或数据进行生动形象地描写。(7)告知方法或做法等,且祈使句使用频率
3、比较高。(8)阐明某项建议或解决方法的可行性。(9)作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持要么反对,带有立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。(10)漠不关心的词语一定不对,既然写文章就不会不关心。(11)不要把读者自己的态度揉入其中,要区分开作者和文章中人物的态度。(12)当作者的态度没有明确提出时,要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性去判断作者的态度。(13)作者的观点一般与文章主旨相关联。实例透析1.(2011重庆卷C)Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing.However,there is nothing fixed

5、g had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry,King of France,was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the king ordered that,to avoid the attac
6、k of disease,the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of pr
7、eventing disease.Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea:clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer,surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely now
8、adays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is

18、 soon I grew bored.Why follow someone elses way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life,imitation can hurt
19、 us if we subconsciously(下意识地)hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In

32、ularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book,TheSkeptical Environmentalist,declares that it measures the“real state of the world”as fine.Of course,another explanation is the deep pockets
33、 of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed,Mr.Lomborgs views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations,which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr.Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in
