考研英語閱讀理解命題思路透析和真題揭秘(16)

　　第三章、情感態(tài)度題命題思路透析

　　Part I、命題規(guī)律透析

　　每一篇文章的作者在寫作的時候，都不可避免地在文章中表達自己的情感、態(tài)度和觀點，有時候這種表達非常直接，而有的時候卻又非常模糊、甚至看上去模棱兩可。而考生是否能夠從作者的字里行間把握作者的情感、態(tài)度和觀點則是對考生英語閱讀能力的一大較高難度的考驗。情感態(tài)度題一般用于考查考生能夠正確理解作者的寫作意圖、作者對某種現(xiàn)象的看法、對某個問題或事件的觀點、對所論述對象的態(tài)度。有的時候，這類題目可能避開作者的總體態(tài)度，而考查作者對文章中提到的某個細節(jié)的觀點等，這需要考生在閱讀題干的時候加以區(qū)分。一般而言，情感態(tài)度題涉及到的題目都是文章中相對有爭議的問題，而且關(guān)于態(tài)度的表述可能并沒有一個明確的句子，而是分布在文章的各個角落，沒有一定的規(guī)律，因此難度也相對比較大。
