【摘要】“高中英语阅读理解得分秘籍”在英语考试中,阅读理解往往是决定成败的关键,巧解阅读理解中关于作者意图、观点、态度的问题是在阅读理解中取胜的关键法宝。
作者观点态度题就是指针对作者的写作意图、观点态度和对事件的评价设问的阅读理解题目。作者在文章中不仅客观地进行叙述和说明,往往还持有某种态度,如对某一观点或赞同或反对,或肯定或批评。因此这类题主要考查学生对作者的观点、感情、态度、写作目的和意图的理解能力。
作者的观点和态度除了直接表达外,还经常在文章中间接表达出来。考生可以通过全文的叙述,从文章的主要内容去理解作者的观点;有时作者也会在文章中用特殊的词汇表达自己的思想感情。同学们要从文章中的用词、语气或对某个细节的陈述来推断作者的态度、观点等。
观点态度题的题干形式:作者态度观点题考查目标比较明确,题干一般都含有according to the writer, attitude, opinion, believe, consider, regard等词或短语。这类题目除了考查作者在整篇文章中所表现的态度和写作意图外,有的还考查作者对具体的某个人或事物的态度或评价。作者观点态厦题的题干主要有以下几种形式:
1) What is the purpose of the text?/The purpose of the passage is to .
2) What is the opinion of the writer in this passage?
3) What's the author's attitude towards…?
4) Who are the intended readers of the passage?
5) What does the author mean by saying "…"?
6) From the…paragraph, what do you think the author wants to tell us?
作者观点态度题的解题方法:作者的态度和立场一般分为三大类:支持、赞同、乐观;客观、中立;反对、批评、怀疑、悲观。同学们除了可以通过在文中寻找带有感情色彩的词来判断作者的态度外,有时还需要综合运用一些阅读方法,如:根据文章中与问题相关的细节做出判断,根据作者提供的例证推断其暗示的态度、观点,有时还需要同学们通读全文并把握文章的主旨,最后做出正确选择。下面我们以2008年部分省市高考题为例,具体分析作者观点态度题的解题方法。
例1:
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate at the street table, and lauded over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? (2008年全国卷I A篇)
