4.觀點態度題答題技巧例解

這類題型測試考生在閱讀完文章後，能否正確理解文章語氣和作者態度、觀點。回答這類題目，不僅要理解全文大意，而且要抓住表達作者態度、觀點、意圖的關鍵詞，方可得出答案。

1）對於綜合判斷情感態度的問題，需分析段落大意，分析文章風格，理解文章中心思想。例如：

The MBA, a 20th-century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.

Q: According to Paragraph 2, the author's attitude towards business on campuses dominated by purer disciplines seems to be____.

[A]scornful [B]appreciative [C]envious [D]realistic

答案是[A]。文章第二段(上文)意即，在充滿書卷氣的綠樹成蔭的校園裡，MBA的商業氣息與貪婪顯得不那麼濃重了。文章談論的是對MBA價值的懷疑，因此不可能是[B] appreciative，[C]envious；而作者在第二段的描述帶有濃厚的個人感情色彩，因此也不是[D] realistic；最終得出作者的態度是不屑一顧的， [A]是正確答案。

2)在分析作者的觀點態度時，要善於抓住闡述作者思想的句子，從中挖掘資訊做出正確的判斷。例如：

Under these circumstances, the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a real one. Ahead of us lie technical, psychic, and social transformations probably much more dramatic than those brought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. The Gutenberg revolution, as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated. The information revolution will touch every fact of composition, publication, distribution, and reading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as we've known it.

Q: About the future of the arts of reading the author feels____.

[A]upset [B]uncertain [C]alarmed [D]pessimistic

答案是[B]。文章前面一直在說美國人的文化程度，尤其是中產階級的閱讀能力令人擔憂。文章最後一段(上文)最後一句No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as we誺e known it. 表達了作者的feeling，意即沒有人對未來書籍會發生什麼變化抱有信心，也就是[B] uncertain不確定。

3)要分清選項中的褒義詞、中性詞和貶義詞，以此對照文章，分析作者的語氣和態度。

A 褒義詞有：positive, supporting, admiring, optimistic, praising, humorous, enthusiastic, pleasant, polite, interesting, sober, approving 等；

B 中性詞有：indifferent, neutral, impersonal, subjective, impassive, ambivalent, objective, informative, impartial, apathetic 等；

C 貶義詞有：disgusted, critical, depressed, disappointed, ironic, sarcastic, cynical, sentimental, negative, suspicious, tolerant, worried 等。
