高考英语阅读推断题英语阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,而是需要阅读者通过阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,根据字面意思,通过全篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义,这就是判断推理题。
推理判断题属于主观性极强的高层次阅读理解题,做这类题目时,考生需要具备对事物进行归纳分类的能力,在获取信息事实后才能将已知细节加以分析,从而得出合理的判断。
培养考生的判断推理能力可以从以下四方面着手:一是对理解词汇和结构本身的意义进行判断推理;二是对文章中的事实、现象进行归纳、推断可能得出的结论;三是通过文章的用词和修辞手段理解作者的立场、观点和写作目的;四是通过对话,推断对话双方的语气和对问题的不同看法。
推断题一般可以归纳为五大题型:细节推断题、因果推断题、人物性格、态度及观点判断题、预测想象推理题和写作意图推测题。
一、细节推断题要求考生根据语篇关系,推断具体细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等.一般可根据短文提供的信息,或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。
典例:2006 年山东卷 A 篇。
·····Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole and he ‘s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.H is old playmates would not believe the transformation .60 .It can be inferred that Saunders’journey to the North Pole _______ .A .was accompanied by his old playmatesB .set a record in the North Pole expeditionC .was supported by other Arctic explorersD .made him well-known in the 1960 s[解析] 答案是 B 。
本小题是问从文章中推断出Saunder的北极之旅怎么样?根据上面文章所提供的信息:Saunder是到目前为止独自滑雪去北极的人中最年轻的一位,而且Saunder独自滑雪去北冰洋的地方比其他任何一个英国人都要多。
由此细节,我们可以推断出Saunder 的北极之旅在北极探险中是创造了一个记录。
二、因果推断题要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。
考生要准确掌握文章的内涵,理解文章的真正含义。
典例:2009 年四川卷 B 篇···· Although our situation was very bad,it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening else where.I watched a newsreport about floods in Northern India and thought. “We didn’t have a straw hut(茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing.We ’re lucky.”4 7 .Why does the author say that they were lucky in the third paragraph ?A . Because her situation was not serious.B .Because many other paces were flooded.C .Because she had been to Northem India.D .Because some others suffered even more.[ 解析】答案是D。
作者提到I watched a newsreport about floods in Northern India and thought.“We didn ‘t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away,and our house isstill standing .We ‘re lucky .”从这两句话可以推断出作者说他们是幸运的原因了。
三、人物性格、态度及观点判断题高考阅读测试中有些是考查考生对作者的主导思想、被描写人物语气、言谈话语中流露的情绪、性格倾向和作者或文中人物态度、观点等方面的理解题。
做这一类题时一定要注意:由表及里的准确把握字里行间的意思,切勿用自己的主观想法或观点代替作者的思想观点;特别注意那些描写环境气氛的语言,以及表达感情、态度观点的词语。
要特别注意作者在文章中的措词,尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词;能结合自己平时积累的有关英语国家的文化传统、风俗习惯等背景知识来识别评价。
典例:2006 年全国卷 D 篇Art is now together with my piano playing and reading.There is a time for everything in my world,and it is wonderful to have some time doing what 1 want to do .A s Confucius once said ,”At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire .”72.How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?A .Very enjoyable.B .

There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.technology?What is the author’s attitude towards the modernA. CriticalB. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying—holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering—can be bad for physical(身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural—and healthy—emotional response(反应). (2分钟)●According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--- those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping(蹦极跳)to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的)rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 millionpeople around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(心理学家)suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and b oring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured and life was a continuous battle for survival(生存).Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.●The writer of the text has a ____ attitude(态度)towards dangerous sports.A. positive(肯定的)B. negative(否定的)C. neutral (中立的)D. nervous四、预测想象推理题有些内容文章中没有明确说明,要求考生根据语篇,对事件可能的结局或下段可能涉及的内容等进行预测推理。
