1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上阅读中的观点态度题I、题型介绍观点态度问题（attitude questions）是指测试作者的观点和态度（authors opinion or attitude）以及文章基调（tone）的题。这类问题无法直接从文章中找到答案，必须从字里行间对作者的用词、口气等进行认真的揣摩，才能把握关键所在。这类问题是所有问题中最难回答的。价值词（value words）所谓观点、我们无法客观地证明它是对还是错。观点、态度通常表达个人对某个话题、行为、事件的信念、感觉或判断。作者、说话者的观点、态度的主要标记是价值词。每一个价值词表达一种价值判断，因此是非常主观的，也最能表明观点、

2、态度和立场。价值词以形容词为主, 加上部分副词和动词。例如：BestgreatbeautifulstupidWorstterriblewonderfulgoodBetterlovelydisgustingbadWorseawfultoo muchexcessiveuglyattractiveoutstandingboringdullinterestingtroublesomeunfairshouldought todeserveright/wrong褒义与贬义 作者的观点、态度还可以从词的内涵上判断。任何一种语言的词汇都有褒贬之分，英语也不例外。如果作者对某个话题、事件、行为持肯定的态度或观点

3、，那么他肯定使用褒义词；相反，则用贬义词。例如：词性褒义贬义褒义贬义名词mouseratstatesmanpoliticiandonkeyassconfidentconceit形容词famousnotoriousresoluteobstinatethinskinnythriftyparsimonious动词attractlurereproducebreed文章类型：社论、政治性演讲、政论文、评论性文章（如影评、书评等）和辩论文，作者、说话者的观点是首要的，他们设法说服读者接受文中阐述的观点。这类文章的主观性极强。II. 英语中表示作者观点的词一 肯定positive adj.肯定的, 实际的,

11、the following words best describe the authors tone?V。观点态度题练习：Passage I: Students headed for college in the fall are already finding that there are lots to learn about their impending new life. Examine the course catalog: check. Read the student guide to nightlife: check. Fully understand the campus

12、court system. Its safe to say most students dont give a whole lot of thought to the ruling of disputes on campus. They steer through college getting their coursework done, abiding by basic rules, and not being accused of causing harm. But for those who do find themselves on the wrong side of the cam

13、pus bench, the experience can be a surprising and sometimes hurting education. Last week, Harvard University announced it was changing its campus judicial system in an effort to speed up decisions. Many of those had been dragging on for months at a stretch. That much sounds like the court system fam

14、iliar to those outside the university. But universities are educational institutions, after all, not courts. Still, parents whose child faces a serious accusation of, say, sexual misconduct or theft might move to hire a lawyer for advice. At many schools, that lawyer cannot be present at a students

15、hearing. Proceedings are also confidential but the results may go on a students record. One positive move at Harvard is changing a policy that allowed an accusation to lead automatically to a hearing. Requiring more evidence can guard against one persons opinion standing in as evidence, for example.

16、 But critics still question whether campuses should do more to open up proceedings that can have life-altering consequences.1. It can be inferred from the passage that the author holds a(n) _attitude towards the entire court system in universities.A. indignant B. objective C. approving D. critical2.

17、 Which of the following words can best describe the authors overall attitude towards the changes to Harvard campus judicial system?A. Defensive B. Pessimistic C. Negative D. NeutralKeys: 1) D 2) CPassage 2: Hunger is the natural state of mankind, but the good news is that mankind is moving away from

18、 nature. Although the worlds population has grown six fold in the past two centuries, food production has grown faster, better and more widely-applied technologyhybrid (杂交) seeds, fertilizers and so onhas allowed farmers to get more calories out of each hectare. Future innovations, including genetic

19、 modification to produce more nutritious cereals and livestock, should keep the planets larders (食物储藏室) well-stocked. But, as this weeks UN World Food Summit showed, this is no cause for complacency. The absolute number of malnourished people is declining by about 5 million a year. As a proportion o

20、f the worlds population, the improvement is even more marked. But that still leaves 800 million people hungry, which translates into a lot of suffering. Underfed children die more easily from disease, and are often stunted (阻碍) both physically and mentally, making it harder for them to earn a living

21、 as adults. Hunger is caused by bad weather, but even more by bad government. Well-governed countries never suffer famine; but of the 25 worst-nourished nations, all are badly governed, some spectacularly so. Little can be done about the weather, at least in the short term, but policies can change.

22、Farmers in poor countries are no longer herded at gunpoint into collectives, a policy that killed millions in the 20th century. But men with guns still reduce farmers incentives to grow food in countries where wars rage. In eastern Congo, nobody wants to raise cattle, because marauding(劫掠的) soldiers

23、 steal them. Even in peaceful poor countries, land tenure (承租使用权) is often insecure. In Zimbabwe, the government grabs land and gives it to supporters, which has caused farm output to fall rapidly.1. What is the authors attitude towards the overall world food situation?A.
