2014考研英语阅读理解之观点态度题解题秘籍

　　理解作者的意图、观点和态度是近几年考试的热点题目，考生在做此类题时要把握这样的判断原则：既纵观全文，掌握主题思想有要注意文章的措辞，把握文章的基调或主旨(tenor)，又要分清文章的话语范围(field)及话语方式(mode)。

　　该题型常见的提问形式有：

　　1) The tone of the passage can best be described as ____

　　2) The tone of the passage would be _____

　　3) Which of the following best describes the tone of thepassage____

　　4) What is the attitude of the author towards____

　　5) How does the writer feel about______

　　6) The writer is of the opinion that_____

　　7) The author seems to be _____

　　情感和态度在考研中大致可分为三类：happy/unhappy;security/insecurity; satisfaction/

　　dissatisfaction，它们作为标记语反映出作者对某个现象采取的姿态，并从情感的角度评价该现象。因此，考生既要依靠文章的中心思想作为前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是作为修饰语的形容词。

　　我们以2003年的阅读Text 4为例具体说明这一点：

　　Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit.As a physician， I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffectiveand painful. I also know that people in Japanand Sweden，countries that spend far less on medical care， have achieved longer， healthierlives than we have. As a nation， we may be overfunding the quest for unlikelycures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improvepeoples lives.
