三、觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題
問(wèn)題是關(guān)于談話一方對(duì)另一方或第三方的行為、品德、觀點(diǎn)等的態(tài)度或評(píng)價(jià)。
提問(wèn)方式通常為:
What does the woman/ man mean /imply?
How does the woman /man feel about...?
What does the woman/man think of…?
此類題型解題技巧如下:
1.根據(jù)選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)判斷問(wèn)題類型。
觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度類試題的選項(xiàng)中一般都含有一些引出觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的動(dòng)詞或短語(yǔ),常見(jiàn)的有:think, believe, find, guess, imagine, consider, as far as I know等。根據(jù)這類線索詞判斷出試題類型以后,可以更有針對(duì)地留意說(shuō)話人對(duì)自己觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的陳述。
2.熟悉表示觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的常見(jiàn)詞語(yǔ)。
表示贊成:approve, agree, share, prefer, wise, reasonable, favorable
表示反對(duì):disapprove, disagree, unwise, ridiculous, foolish, childish
表示贊賞:admire,appreciate,think much of, think highly of
表示喜歡:love, enjoy, wonderful,fascinating, funny, be fond of, be keen on
表示厭煩:dislike, bored/ boring, be tired of

表示害怕或擔(dān)心:fearful, frightened, worried, nervous
表示批評(píng)或諷刺:critical, criticize, ironic,find fault with
表示失望或灰心:disappointed, discouraged
表示后悔或遺憾:regret, regretful, pity, shame
表示漠然或熱情:indifferent, detached, careless, enthusiastic
表示積極或消極:active, positive, negative
表示自信或自負(fù):confident, arrogant, proud
表示樂(lè)觀或悲觀:optimistic, pessimistic
3.抓住對(duì)話中的一些標(biāo)識(shí)性的詞語(yǔ)。
聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)注意抓住一些表示因果、轉(zhuǎn)折、比較或舉例等邏輯關(guān)系的標(biāo)識(shí)性的詞語(yǔ),如:but, instead, if, when, since, before, after, so 等,尤其是轉(zhuǎn)折后的內(nèi)容,往往表達(dá)作者的真實(shí)觀點(diǎn)或態(tài)度,常為考查重點(diǎn)。
4.把握說(shuō)話人的語(yǔ)氣。
聽(tīng)音時(shí)應(yīng)注意通過(guò)說(shuō)話人的語(yǔ)氣來(lái)判斷說(shuō)話人的態(tài)度,尤其是反問(wèn)、疑問(wèn)、感嘆等語(yǔ)氣,往往會(huì)明顯地體現(xiàn)出說(shuō)話人的態(tài)度或觀點(diǎn)。
【真題示例3】(06-6-3)
[A] The Edwards are quite well-off.
[B] The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.
[C] It’ll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.
[D] It’s too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.
M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Dr. Andrew?
W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present house is not too bad.
Q: What does the man imply?
【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。本題是問(wèn)男士暗示什么。選項(xiàng)中l(wèi)iving expenses(生活開(kāi)支)和buy another house表明對(duì)話應(yīng)與the Edwards的生活開(kāi)支和購(gòu)房計(jì)劃有關(guān)。對(duì)話中男士用反問(wèn)語(yǔ)氣(should they be doing…?)表示反對(duì)意見(jiàn)They shouldn’t be doing…(≈It’ll be unwise…to do…)。
