關(guān)于作者的態(tài)度類問題(Attitude) 閱讀理解的最后一題常常提問在作者對(duì)文章中某一問題的態(tài)度(Attitude)、全文的基調(diào)(Tone)、文章的出處(Source)及對(duì)文章前后接續(xù)內(nèi)容的判斷等。
關(guān)于態(tài)度或基調(diào)(Attitude/Tone)類題的回答應(yīng)從篇章的體裁著手,一般來說,在說明文中作者的態(tài)度是客觀的(objective)或中立的(neutral);而在議論文中,作者的觀點(diǎn)才會(huì)顯得多種多樣,常風(fēng)的選項(xiàng)有:
(1)positive(積極的)
(2)negative(消極的)
(3)neutral(中立的)
(4)approval(贊成的)
(5)disapproval(不贊成的)
(6)indifferent(漠不關(guān)心的)
(7)sarcastic(諷刺的)
(8)critical(批評(píng)的)
(9)optimistic(樂觀的)
(10)pessimistic(悲觀的)
下而引類問題的幾種提問方式:
(1)What's the writer's attitude to…?
(2)What's the tone of the passage?
(3)The author's view is _______
(4)The writer's attitude of this passage is apparently _________
(5)The author suggests that _________
(6)According to author __________
有文章中,作者觀點(diǎn)明確,文章基調(diào)清楚,而有的文章中,作者僅僅暗示對(duì)某一問題的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn),需要閱讀時(shí)仔細(xì)琢磨。解答這類問題時(shí),首先應(yīng)請(qǐng)注意篇章中起連接手段作用的那些詞語;其次應(yīng)注意有些表明作者觀點(diǎn)詞匯,如形容詞、動(dòng)詞等。
對(duì)文章的出處及文章前后接續(xù)內(nèi)容判斷等可從全篇著手,從個(gè)別句子或詞匯找線索進(jìn)行判斷。
