1、第二篇阅读第三节 推理判断题的解题技巧所谓推断,就是根据阅读材料中所提供的信息,推断出未知的信息,即把有关的文字作为已知部分,从中推断出未知部分。据以推断的有关文字可能是词或句子,也可能是若干句子,甚至是全文。此类考题虽然没有明确的答案,但考生在理解全文的基础上可以进行推理和判断其答案。广东卷中的推理判断题主要包括推断隐含意思、推断目标读者、推断观点态度、推断文章出处、推断写作意图等。尤以推断隐含意义的题居多。第一类 推断隐含意义推断隐含意义,即要求考生根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到的或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。旨在考查考生透过词语的字面意
2、义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力。推断隐含意义的题干中常含infer(推断),suggest(暗示),imply(暗示),indicate(暗示),conclude(推断,得出结论)等词语。常见的题干设题形式如下:1We can know from the passage that _2.We can infer from the(first/last)passage that _3The passage/author implies/suggests that _4It can be concluded from the passage that _5The underlined se
3、ntence indicates that _一、常见的设问形式解答这类题时,首先通过寻读找到相关信息点(推理的依据);然后细读、理解相关信息点的字面意义;最后结合语境和常识,在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断,从而理解作者的言外之意。解答此类题目,需注意以下几个问题:1严格按照阅读材料中所提供的信息进行推理,切忌掺杂自己的主观想法或经验。2如果某选项中的内容是阅读材料的简单重复,那它就不是推论,也就不是正确答案。二、解题方法3如果某选项所表达的内容与经验相吻合,文中却没有涉及,那它属于主观臆断的结论,也不是正确答案。4如果某个选项所表达的内容虽在文中提到,但很片面或很不完整,那也不是正确答
4、案。5文中的虚拟语气和情态动词(should,must,may等)往往能流露出作者的弦外之音,这有助于我们确定正确答案。6.注意作者在文章中的措辞,比如作者在形容词前用了too,excessively,rather等,则常带有否定的意味。例The position was offered at the last minute,and I was given two weeks to prepare,a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包)and standing before my fulllengthmirror,repeating the

8、写作目的通常有娱乐读者、说服读者接受某种观点和告知读者某些信息三种。解答此类题时主要有两种方法:1主旨推断法:写作目的是阐述作者为何要表达某个中心主题,因此可根据主旨推断作者的写作目的。2文体推断法:根据文体的特点和用途来推断作者的写作目的。如记叙文,二、解题方法特别是个人的有趣经历或幽默故事类的文章,其目的是娱乐读者;夹叙夹议的文章,其目的是让读者得到某种启示或教育;广告和议论文的目的是说服读者接受某种产品、服务或接受某种观点;科普说明文或新闻报告,其目的是告知读者某些信息。例Cold weather can be hard on pets,just like it can be hard
