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(shí)候，都不可避免地在文章中表達(dá)自己的情感、態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)，有時(shí)候這種表達(dá)非常直接，而有的時(shí)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(diǎn)則是對(duì)考生英語(yǔ)閱讀能力的一大較高難度的考驗(yàn)。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(duì)某種現(xiàn)象的看法、對(duì)某個(gè)問題或事件的觀點(diǎn)、對(duì)所論述對(duì)象的態(tài)度。有的時(shí)候，這類題目可能避開作者的總體態(tài)度，而考查作者對(duì)文章中提到的某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)的觀點(diǎn)等，這需要考生在閱讀題干的時(shí)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(duì)有爭(zhēng)議的問題，而且關(guān)于態(tài)度的表述可能并沒有一個(gè)明確的句子，而是分布在文章的各個(gè)角落，沒有一定的規(guī)律，因此難度也相對(duì)比較大。
