作者观点态度题Revised on November 25, 2020作者态度观点阅读理解中的题目有的时候会问及作者对于某一事件或者某一问题的观点或者态度是什么，以及作者对文章继续展开的内容判断等，这样的题就是观点态度题。
解答这种问题时，考生首先应请注意篇章中的连词，这些连词的运用都暗含着作者的态度和观点，从中可以推敲出作者的意图。
然后需要注意有些表明作者观点的词汇和语句，考生就可以根据这些词汇和语句的情感来判断作者的态度。
总体来讲，观点态度的题比较难，对于这类问题的回答，考生应从篇章的体裁和风格入手，再从文章的论述方法、语气和措辞中把握作者对事物的喜好，从而了解作者的情感与态度。
1、观点态度题常见设问方式What’s the tone of the passageWhich of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward…How does the author feel about…What’s the author’s opinion of/ about …What is the author’s overall attitude towards …What does the author think of…Which of the following is the author most likely to agree withThe author seems to be in favor of the idea of ________.The author probably feels that ________.The author’s attitude towards …might be best summarized as ________.In the writer’s opinion, ________.According to the author, ________.The author of the passage seems to be ________.The tone of the author is ________.2、态度观点题的解题技巧(1) 注重表示观点或者态度的引导词，例如：in my point, as far as I am concerned, in my opinion, I think/ suppose/ argue/ believe/ claim等。
它们后面所接的语句会是作者的观点，切忌注意。
(2) 对于态度观点题的解答，把握文章的体裁非常重要。
如果文章是说明性文章，介绍某一事物或者是说明某一现象，由于说明文本身的客观性，通常情况下作者所持的态度会是中立的。
如果是记叙文的话，作者的观点态度不会很明显的显示出来，但是会暗含于陈述的语句之中，这就要求考生好好推敲某些词汇的情感，找出那些渲染气氛和表现情感的语句。
A) 寻找带有作者强烈感情色彩的名词、动词、形容词或者副词来判定作者态度。
“The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industryatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible (不负责任的，明显是一个贬义词，作者就是批判股东的)wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.” “Fortunately, (幸运的，明显后面连接的是作者支持的，即行业公会起了一个好的作用)however, the increasing power and organiion of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them.”62. The author is most critical of ________.[A] family firm owners[B] landowners[C] managers[D] shareholders (批判股东)(3) 注意转折和对比的地方，也会是作者观点态度的表现。
转折或者对比处，也就是作者强调的地方，此处会反应作者的情感和倾向，考试的题目依据通常就会出现在此处。
B) 段首句中含有“but, yet, however, in fact”类表示强转折关系的词时，这句话通常表征作者观点。
"Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual," says education writer Diane Ravitch. "Schools could be a counterbalance." Razitch’s latest bock, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.But they could and should be. (但学校可能也应该成为一种反学识的抗衡力，即作者是支持学识的)Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, "We willome a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society."60、What does the author think of intellect[A] It is second to intelligence.[B] It evolves from common sense.[C] It is to be pursued. (支持学识观点，即学识值得我们追求)[D] It underlies power.(4) 掌握和熟悉一些表示观点的词汇和短语，例：4. 作者态度题中经常出的表征态度的形容词A)支持或赞成：,,,,,,,,,,①褒义词：positive(赞成的)；supporting(支持的)；praising(赞扬的)；optimistic(乐观的)；admiring(羡慕的)；interesting(有趣的)；humorous(幽默的)；serious(严肃的)；enthusiastic(热情的)；pleasant(愉快的)；polite(礼貌的)；concerned(关切的)；sober(冷静的)等。
