职称英语考试阅读综合辅导第六讲

　　如何做推理判断题 　　在阅读中，人们首先理解的是语言的字面意义。然而，语言所表达的内容常常超过其字面意义。阅读的目的不仅仅是只读懂原文，还应做到能从文章的字里行间读出作者虽未说明但意欲表达的意图，这就是我们通常说的言外之意。由于限于篇幅或其他原因，作者常常对某些问题一带而过，有的只给出一些暗示，这就要求读者掌握逻辑判断和推理的方法，动用良好的综合判断能力以及语言本身的内在联系，在理解原文的基础上，作出符合作者原义的推断。在阅读中，这种推断能力相当重要。只有具备这种能力，才有可能理解文章中语言上没有明确表达却又隐含的意思。 　　判断题要求考生根据短文中所给的信息，暗示抓住内涵语义，进行判断、推理，从而得出合乎逻辑的结论。它与细节题的区别在于它是透过表面文字推断出隐含的意思，它可以是推断作者倾向，文章论调，文章来源，作者的写作思路;也可以是推断特定细节，特定数字等。推断题的题干中通常会出现：infer, imply, suggest, conclude, assume, appear, conclude, inference, conclusion, judgment等词。 　　典型题干是： 　　1. It can be inferred from the passage that 　　2. It can be concluded from the passage that 　　3. What does the author imply by saying 　　4. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that 　　5. The author implies / suggests / indicates that 　　6. The authors attitude toward is 　　判断推理题可分为3种：推断题、结论题、观点态度题。 　　解题技巧： 　　1. 推断题。推断题要求考生以已知事实为基础作出正确的猜测。推断题的答案超出了已知的事实，是对未知信息所作的陈述，是作者的言外之意或真正意图。 　　2. 结论题。结论题要求考生根据文章中得已知事实得出正确结论。要得出正确结论主要采用归纳推理和演绎推理两种方式。归纳推理作结论是由个别推出一般，由具体推出抽象得推理过程。在阅读中，要求读者针对材料中提供的局部事实，如某一句话，某两句话，乃至整个段落的信息作归纳，以得出正确的结论。演绎推理是从一般到个别，从普遍到特殊的推理。演绎推理通常是由大前提，小前提和一个结论构成的，所以也叫三段论.大前提提出一般原则，小前提指出个别事物，结论表明推论的结果。解结论题时，一定要根据题目要求就短文的有关内容范围作出合乎逻辑的可靠的结论。既要以事实为依据，也要依据自己的逻辑常识和经验;既要重视文章主题，也要重视发展主题的细节;而尤为重要的是把握住作者的写作意图。 　　3. 观点态度题。态度就是作者在写作时对所叙述事件表现出来的个人的主观感情。具体来说，是作者对所述内容是赞成、反对，还是犹豫不定;对记叙或描写的人、物或事件是称赞、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。通常，作者的观点和态度往往会在文章的措词、文体和结构中反映出来。只要在阅读时注意这几个方面，透过字里行间察其端倪，作者的观点和态度就不难把握。 　　做判断推理题一定要以事实为依据，但又不能就事论事，判断推理得出的结果又绝对不是事实本身。解答这类题目，切忌靠常识、专业知识和智力来臆断正确答案。如果主观臆测，必错无疑。 总之，做判断推理题要牢记三点：理解事实;分析事实;作出决定。 　　例题 1 　　Mrs. Harris, an elderly patient in a nursing home, sat all day in a chair. She did nothing else. She required complete physical care, even feeding. No one seemed to realize that she was partially deaf and blind. One day, a young doctor observed cataracts in both her eyes.

Her recovery was quick, and she soon became quite independent. She started feeding herself and took to smiling and talking with others. The change in her attitude was amazing.

She drives her sharp, tubular snout through the skin, injects a fluid to deep the blood from clothing, and drinks her fill, which takes a minute or less. It is fluid she injects that carries disease.

All of them are tiny. It seems to be generally the case in primitive countries that the women, at a certain age, shrink to the size of children. One day a poor old creature who could not have been more than four feet tall crept past me under a vast load of wood. I stopped her and put a five-sou piece into her hand. She answered with a shrill wail, almost a scream, which was partly gratitude but mainly surprise. I suppose that from her point of view I seemed almost to be violating a law of nature. She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say, a beast of burden . 　　1.
