一、命题解读

推理判断题是指那些针对文章隐含的内容、作者未言明的观点或含蓄表达的立场所设置的问题,主要考查考生概括、归纳、比较、推理等综合能力,要求考生在理解文章字面意思的基础上,解读文章的深层内涵。

二、解题策略

1. 推断隐含意义

这类题目要求考生在理解原文的表面信息的基础上,通过合乎情理的推断,得出更深层次的隐含意义,从而推断出作者没有提到或没有明说的某一情况。题干中通常含有infer、imply、indicate、suggest等标志词。正确选项必须忠实原文,但不能照搬原文,否则就变成了事实细节,而不是经过推断而得出的结论。

31. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?

A. It's formal.    B. It's risky.

C. It's harmful.  D. It's traditional.

In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.

27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?

A. They may be badly treated. B. They should take further training.

C. They could be traded illegally. D. They would lose popularity.

Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.

26. What will probably happen to the building?

A. It will be repaired.

B. It will be turned into a museum.

C. It will be knocked down.

2. 推断观点态度

这类题目询问的是文本字里行间隐藏的态度或情感,也可能询问作者或文中人物对某一事物或现象的看法。题干中通常含有attitude、feel、sound、think等标志词。选项大多是形容词或以形容词为语义中心的短句。多数情况下,正确选项根据文章的某一段落即可得出,但少数时候需要依靠全文。

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids.

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style.

Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc(not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质)...

三、总结

解答推理判断题要注意两点:一是推理,二是判断,两者密不可分。推理是为了判断,判断依赖于推理。推理判断时务必要忠于原文,以原文为基础,在文章中寻找用于推理的依据,切忌主观臆断,把自己的看法当成作者的观点。
