2018考研英語閱讀解題思路：態(tài)度題

　　態(tài)度題在每年的考研英語真題當中一般會考一個到兩個。雖然分值比重不高，但是這種題目是有固定解題策略的，所以不能失分。此外考生還需要記住一些重點的?？紤B(tài)度詞，例如supportive支持的, sympathetic 同情的, optimistic樂觀的, Object反對, negative消極的, Neutral中立的, unbiased沒有偏見的，doubtful懷疑的, puzzled迷惑的，concerned擔憂的，panicked恐懼的，indifference漠不關心的，冷漠的，biased有偏見的等等。下面，我們以2009年的真題為例：Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership—that is, it predicted the opposite.

　　30. What is the author’s attitude towards IQ tests?

　　[A] Supportive

　　[B] Skeptical

　　[C] Impartial

　　[D] Biased

　　解析：態(tài)度題要根據題干找出兩個要素，一是誰的態(tài)度，二是對什么的態(tài)度。該題問的是作者對于智商測驗的態(tài)度。該題的定位關鍵詞是IQ tests大寫專有名詞，很好定位。返回原文定位到第三句Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.“智力測驗不一定預測的如此之好，一旦人口和環(huán)境發(fā)生改變的話”?？梢钥闯鲎髡咧橇y驗的評價是“它不一定好”，這說明作者并不是完全肯定智力測驗。根據選項對應到Skeptical懷疑地，就是認為它存在一定的問題，不能完全肯定。再看其他選項，[A] Supportive支持，和原文態(tài)度不符。[C] Impartial公正的，[D] Biased有偏見的，無論是公正還是偏見，定位句都沒有體現(xiàn)出此類含義，所以可以排除。

　　考研英語閱讀中的態(tài)度題是一類有著特殊解題特點的題目，只要根據定位要素，找到了態(tài)度對象，再根據定位句本身判斷其語義傾向，然后對比選項的態(tài)度詞進行排除就可以。所以解題的關鍵是要定位到態(tài)度對象表達觀點態(tài)度的句子，此時定位的方法和細節(jié)題的定位處理方式是一樣的。希望考生多做真題，勤加練習，熟練掌握。
