阅读技巧指导(六)
专项突破：观点态度题
主体概述：一篇文章不可避免地会反映作者的观点和情绪，观点态度题要求读者在复杂的语境条件
下探查文章的隐藏意思和在较高级的措辞中把握作者的整体思路、态度和写作意图等，这就要求读
者具有较高层次的阅读能力。
常见题型：
出题角度：1. 主题观点态度。考查对通篇文章的写作意图和作者的态度的把握。
2. 细节观点态度。分析领会作者对某些描述的意图。
提问方式：1. What’s the writer/ author’s attitude / view towards…?
2. The writer / author believes / suggests that…
3. The writer / author seems to agree / think that…
4. The writer / author tries to tell us …
5. The author’s tone would be best described as …
解题指导：解答观点态度题，主要是判断作者本人的态度与观点，一定要与文章论述的个别内容区
分开，因此同样的内容和事实，仁者见仁，智者见智，文中提到的不一定就是作者的观点和态度。
解题时更要避免以读者自己的看法得出答案。
1. 抓住文章和选项中反映态度、语气的关键词，特别是其中的形容词与副词，分清是褒还
是贬。
2. 利用概括归纳与主旨大意题的解题技巧，准确把握文章的中心思想与段落结构。
III 阅读理解
A
When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own
and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for
these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies when
it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at
school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us
would say, " Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems
or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year,
we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, he was in despair and I was in despair. But our
friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great
city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent
things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write
long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way,
in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my
most interesting moments, I often think, " Yes, I must tell.." We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me
than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those
darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good
taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In
their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature
and have classified all our little weaknesses.
Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement
which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free
samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They devise hundreds of
competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible
for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way.
During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits
and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener.
The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began
arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. A
little later, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole of his car. All the biscuits that were
sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize.
But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which
weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1,000 pounds of flour,
800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. It was so heavy that a
crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry. The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had
anticipated, for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24,000.
6. Why have advertisers made a close study of human weakness?
A. They thought it was very interesting to do so.
B. They wanted to persuade the customers to buy their products.
C. They thought it was their duty.
D. They wanted to research how much people spend buying their products.
7. Why do advertisers offer free samples and other things to people?
A. They use them to attract people’s attention.
B. Their advertisements have little effect on customers.
C. Different means are being used to cheat people.
D. They produce too many products that can’t be sold out.
8. From the last paragraph, we know that the factory failed to expect _______.
A. how many people would take an interest in the competition
B. how many ingredients are needed to bake a large biscuit
C. it was possible to bake a biscuit as large as the student’s
D. the payment wouldn’t be as high as $ 24,000
