3、引用人物論斷處常考
作者為了正確表達(dá)出自己觀點(diǎn)或使論點(diǎn)更有依據(jù),常常引用某名人的論斷或重要發(fā)現(xiàn)等。命題者常在此作文章。多以"推理性"題為主,有時(shí)也出"細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)性"題型。
例1."There is a senseless notion that children grew up and leave home when they’re 18, and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpers of the University of Wisconsin….
Q: There was apparently a trend in the USA ________ .
(A) for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.
(B) For middle class young adults to stay with their parents.
(C) For married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.
(D) For going adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.
(分析:選A項(xiàng)。屬推理題。作者引用的這句話意思是:"孩子長(zhǎng)到18歲時(shí)應(yīng)離開父母去獨(dú)立生活的概念是沒有道理的,而事實(shí)情況也并非如此。"而題干問:過去在美國顯然有一種什么趨勢(shì)。考生通過細(xì)心推斷引文,便能選中A項(xiàng):年輕的成年人應(yīng)該離開父母而去獨(dú)立生活。)
例2. …"people cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,"says Dr. David."They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 howler, when they really need 7.5 , eight or even more to feel ideally rigorous."(見《分冊(cè)》P12頁例3)
Q: According to Dr. David, Americans ________ .
(A) are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life.
(B) Often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit.
(C) Do not know how to relax themselves properly.
(D) Can get by on 6.5 hoarse of sleep.
(分析:選B項(xiàng)。屬于歸納事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。Dr. David所說的話,描述的是一種事實(shí)現(xiàn)象,即美國人睡眠不足而誤認(rèn)為這不是什么大的事,還自我感覺良好。從事實(shí)中我們可以看出美國人經(jīng)常忽視睡眠不足的后果,即B項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容。)
例3. By the millions they are coming-no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We don’t have a budget,"says a biologist from Brazil. As she walks with two companions through New York lity’s South Street, "We juse use our credit cards."
Q:From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that touristlike her ________ .
(A) are reluctant to carry cash with them.
(B) Simply don’t care how much they spend.
(C) Are not good at planning their expenditure.
(D) Often spend more money that they can afford.
(分析:選B項(xiàng)。屬判斷推理題。文章講成千上萬涌進(jìn)美國的富有者與那個(gè)巴西生物學(xué)家一樣,他們?cè)谫徫飼r(shí)只管刷卡("just use our credit cards.")而根本不做預(yù)算("don’t have a hudget"),可推斷出他們這類人是"根本不管花多an>即B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。)
