一、命題解讀
推理判斷題是指那些針對文章隱含的內(nèi)容、作者未言明的觀點或含蓄表達的立場所設置的問題,主要考查考生概括、歸納、比較、推理等綜合能力,要求考生在理解文章字面意思的基礎上,解讀文章的深層內(nèi)涵。
二、解題策略
1. 推斷隱含意義
這類題目要求考生在理解原文的表面信息的基礎上,通過合乎情理的推斷,得出更深層次的隱含意義,從而推斷出作者沒有提到或沒有明說的某一情況。題干中通常含有infer、imply、indicate、suggest等標志詞。正確選項必須忠實原文,但不能照搬原文,否則就變成了事實細節(jié),而不是經(jīng)過推斷而得出的結(jié)論。

A. It's formal.? ? B. It's risky.

In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
A. They may be badly treated. B. They should take further training.
C. They could be traded illegally. D. They would lose popularity.

2. 推斷觀點態(tài)度
這類題目詢問的是文本字里行間隱藏的態(tài)度或情感,也可能詢問作者或文中人物對某一事物或現(xiàn)象的看法。題干中通常含有attitude、feel、sound、think等標志詞。選項大多是形容詞或以形容詞為語義中心的短句。多數(shù)情況下,正確選項根據(jù)文章的某一段落即可得出,但少數(shù)時候需要依靠全文。

這類題目要求考生對某一段落或整篇文章的寫作目的進行推斷。題干中通常含有purpose、(in order) to、intend等標志詞。寫作目的大致有以下三種:to entertain readers(讓讀者感到愉悅,比如故事性的記敘文), to persuade readers(說服讀者接受某種觀點,比如議論文),to inform readers(告知讀者某些信息,比如科技類的說明文)。當然,選項的表述會更加細致和具體。

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (裝置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (節(jié)奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.

三、總結(jié)
解答推理判斷題要注意兩點:一是推理,二是判斷,兩者密不可分。推理是為了判斷,判斷依賴于推理。推理判斷時務必要忠于原文,以原文為基礎,在文章中尋找用于推理的依據(jù),切忌主觀臆斷,把自己的看法當成作者的觀點。
