155、为作者写作时也常带有某种感情倾向性，所以考生在读这种体裁的文章时要细心，捕捉那些烘托气氛、表达或暗示情感或态度的词句。(2)要分清选项中的表示支持或肯定、中立、反对或否定的词语，再以此对照文章内容。下面是一些常见的有关作者情感、态度的词语：表示支持或肯定的词语positive积极的，乐观的；supportive支持的；optimistic乐观的；enthusiastic热情的；pleasant愉快的等。表示中立的词语indifferent不感兴趣的，漠不关心的，中立的；uninterested不感兴趣的；neutral中立的；subjective主观的；objective客观的等。表示反对或否
156、定的词语disgusted憎恶的，厌恶的；critical批评的；negative否定的，消极的；suspicious怀疑的；disappointed失望的；ironic讽刺的等。表示情感的词语bitter令人不快的；emotional情绪激动的；angry气愤的等。4.文章结构题的解题方法：(1)按事情发展的顺序；(2)按时间的先后顺序；(3)按地点或空间位置的变换；(4)按内容的总分关系；(5)按人物的活动内容。针对此类题，考生应做到：一读，就是通读全文；二想，就是想一想每一段落的主要意思；三归，就是把一些内容相同或关系密切的段落合并在一起，成为一个大段；四查，就是再把各段段意连起来，看是
157、否能构成一个连贯的整体；五选，选出符合文章结构的正确答案。此外，做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路，如文章可能按事件发展的顺序描写，也可能通过举例、分类、对比来叙述，从而作出比较科学的、合情合理的推测。如：2015北京D(文章见上)70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?答案B解析文章结构题。分析全文可知第一段简单介绍，提出问题；第二段为第一个论点，指出父母在子女生活中参与度较高的现象；第三段是第二个论点，指出通过调查并不能推断出父母未能对子女放手；第四、五段为两个次论点，第一个次论点是科技的进步导致父母对子女生活更多的参与，第二个次论点是子女经济不独立导致父母对子女的生活更多的参与；最后一段得出结论。故选B。
