考研英语阅读理解解题技巧推理题.docx

1、考研英语阅读理解解题技巧推理题考研英语阅读理解解题技巧推理题推理引申题主要测试考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力，要求考生领悟所读材料中句子之间的逻辑关系，并且根据材料提供的已知信息进行分析、归纳和推理。判断推理能力对深刻理解一篇文章十分重要，特别是理解作者字里行间的言外之意、作者的观点、写作意图和态度。命题专家在命制此类试题时通常要求考生对文章或段落进行深层推理和理解，不可能把试题的答案非常直接地暴露于选项中。因此考生应该注意把它与事实细节题区别开来，推理引申题必须以事实为依据，但是得出的结果又绝对不是事实本身，即不能“就事论事”。 推理引申题对一些基础比较薄弱的考生而言是一个难点，考生似乎对文章

2、读懂了(可称之为“自我感觉良好”)，然而在解题时却始终不知如何下手，试题也做得不好。这是考生没有领会命题专家设置推理引申试题的用意的缘故。事实上推理引申题考查的不仅是考生对字面意义的理解，更要求考生透过文章的字里行间去推测作者未明说而又意欲表达的含义。解此类题，考生应该根据文中的材料进行有关的判断、推理和引申。广义的推理引申题涵盖的范围极其广泛。它既可以就总体信息也可以就具体或特定信息提问。总体提问通常包括文章主旨题、作者观点态度题;局部提问通常指段落主旨题、猜测词义/句意题。但是为了突出这四种出现频率很高且带有典型性的题型，我们下面谈到的推理引申题是排除以上情况的狭义概念。1 命题模式狭义的

3、推理引申题题干中常有infer，imply，suggest，deduce，conclude等词出现，常见的命题模式有：(1)It can be inferred from the text/the last paragraph/the first sentence that.(2)We can infer (assume, deduce) that .(3)Which of the following can (not) be inferred from the passage?(4)It is implied (indicated, suggested) in the passage/the

4、 first paragraph/the second sentence/the example that .(5)By. the author implies (suggests, indicates )that .(6)The passage implies in the passage that .(7)The author suggests(indicates)in the passage that .(8)It can be concluded from the passage that .(9)From the passage /the third paragraph/the la

5、st sentence/the example that. we can draw the conclusion that .(10)What conclusion can be drawn from the passage (the first paragraph, the last paragraph)?引申推理题按照解题思路主要可以分为暗指题、推理题和结论题。暗指题的特点是要求读者体味“言外之意”，信息只能从字里行间获得。对于这类试题，考生首先要分清是明述还是暗指，即言内还是言外;其次，要尽最大可能与命题者达成“共识”，因为命题人事先确定的答案不允许考生的认识有任何偏差;最后，要对文章中

6、的有关事实和观点进行分析和研究，按照事实发展的逻辑次序，总结出合情合理的结论。Example 1If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents. (1999年 Passag

7、e 5)The author implies that the results of scientific research .A may not be as profitable as they are expectedB can be measured in dollars and centsC rely on conformity to a standard patternD are mostly underestimated by management原句是个假设条件句，指出“假如科学实验像科学杂志登载的科学报告显示的那样完全按事先的计划去规划和实施，那么，对管理层来说，期待研究能够产

8、生可以用金钱衡量的结果是完全合理的”。此处正话反说，作者的言外之意是，科学实验总有不可预测的现象，产生的结果也难以预测，因此不能肯定有效益。A选项“可能不像预料的那样有利可图”才是作者真正想要表达的含义。Example 2Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics, especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in ari

9、thmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to this educational advantage. As a member of a British commission visiting here in 1853 reported, “With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American boy de

10、velops rapidly into the skilled workman.”(1996年 Passage 4 )It is implied that adaptiveness and inventiveness of the early American mechanics .A benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledgeB shed light on disciplined school managementC was brought about by privileged home trainingD owed a lot to

11、 the technological development这里第二段的首句指出：敏锐的外国观察家将美国人的适应能力和创新能力与这个教育优势联系在一起。this往回复指前述的最后内容，也就是前一段末句谈到的“技工们有文化并且熟知算术、几何学、三角学”，从而可知这种教育优势就是熟练掌握数学。因而作者暗指的意思是A选项“它们很大程度上得益于数学”。推理题与暗指题虽然有许多相似之处，但是其思路与方法更侧重于推理，主要测试考生的思维判断能力，即由已知的事实为依据去获得未知的信息。考生解题时首先要把握推理范围大至段落或全文，小至词语或句子;其次要严格遵循逻辑规律，保持正确的思维过程和严密的逻辑;再次可以

12、利用相关部分提供的事实、背景知识和常识去推理。干扰项的特点：根据文章中某些事实亦可以推导，然而又答非所问。(1)推断文章内容的含义和引申意思ExampleExamples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a centur

13、y ago in the U. S., when the Standard Oil Trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concen

14、tration is increasing-witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissanbut it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.(2001年 Passage 4)From Paragraph 4 we can infer that .A the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumersB WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costsC t

15、he costs of the globalization process are enormousD the Standard Oil Trust might have threatened competition命题者设置的难点是第二句中定语从句的理解。原文谈到“目前难以预料，数家石油公司的合并是否会再次对竞争造成威胁。100年前美国的标准石油联合公司(Standard Oil Trust)被解散，就是因为当时人们担心它会对竞争构成威胁”，由此引申推理可知D项“标准石油联合公司可能曾对竞争形成过威胁”。此外，考生还需要注意，might have threatened是虚拟语气，表示对过去的

16、推测。(2)运用数字进行推理ExampleEmerging from the 1980 census is the picture of a nation developing more and more regional competition, as population growth in the Northeast and Midwest reaches a near standstill.This developmentand its strong implication for US politics and economy in years aheadhas enthroned

17、the South as Americas most densely populated region for the first time in the history of the nations head counting.Altogether, the Us population rose in the 1970s by 23.2 million peoplenumerically the third-largest growth ever recorded in a single decade. Even so, that gain adds up to only 11.4 perc

18、ent, lowest in American annual records except for the Depression years.Americans have been migrating south and west in larger numbers since World War , and the pattern still prevails. (1998年 Passage 4)Discerned from the perplexing picture of population growth the 1980 census provided, America in 197

19、0s .A enjoyed the lowest net growth of population in historyB witnessed a southwestern shift of populationC underwent an unparalleled period of population growthD brought to a standstill its pattern of migration since World War 这是一道涉及数字的题目，从标志词1970s可以定位为文章第三段，本段指出：“20世纪70年代，美国人口总共增长了2 320万从数字上看，这是有纪

20、录以来10年期人口增长的第三高峰。即使如此，人口总数也只增加了11.4%，除了大萧条时期，这是美国年度记录最低的增长率。”因此，A选项和C选项与文意不符。接着文章第四段谈到人口普查显示出“第二次世界大战以来，美国人不断移居西部和南部，现在这种趋势依然存在”。因此可以得出B选项是正确答案，而D选项与该段内容正好相反。(3)用类比的例子，要求考生进行推理演绎Example1There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed per

21、sonal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the

22、 process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new exper

23、iences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. (1995年 Passage 2)A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .A he has given up his smoking habitB he has

24、 made great efforts in his workC he is keen on learning anything newD he has tried to determine where he is on his journey本文指出看待人的成长有两个观点：一是视为结果，一是视为过程。第一段具体讲到第一种观点的详细内容。它是大部分人都持有的观点，看重外在结果因为其可以量化，可以通过具体事例反映出来，如：工人得到升迁、学生成绩提高和外国人学会了一门新的语言。第二段讲第二种观点的详细内容：成长是人在遇到新的经历和意外险阻时表现出来的态度和情感，而不是实在的结果。问的是根据第一种观

25、点，以下哪一种是成长表现。通过文中类比的例子可知只有A选项是实在的结果。结论题与推理题在解题思路和方法上有许多相似之处，但是推理题偏重于推理过程，而结论题偏重于归纳过程。解答结论题时一定要根据题目要求，就短文有关内容做出合乎逻辑的、可靠的结论。有时为了克服片面性，可以扩大阅读范围，否则获得信息的范围太窄，结论便欠妥。因此，解答此类试题既要以事实为依据，也要依据自己的常识和经验;既要重视文章主题，也要重视发展或印证主题的细节;而尤为重要的是把握作者的写作意图。注意过于概括、过于全面或过于细节化的选项，往往属于干扰项。(1)先了解全文，把握主题考生可以通过首尾段、文章结构、或归纳整理各段信息迅速了

26、解主题。然后再通过主题与细节的关系进行合乎理性的归纳。ExampleThe attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the

27、young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which a

28、re that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life. (2000年 Passage 5)From the last paragraph the conclusion can be dr

29、awn that ambition should be maintained .A secretly and vigorouslyB openly and enthusiasticallyC easily and momentarilyD verbally and spiritually该段谈到人们对雄心的攻击远多于对它的维护，因此本应是一种健康公开的品质得不到很多支持。第四句和第五句指出了不公开表达雄心带来的不良后果，由此可以推出人们不应该隐瞒自己的雄心。此外，纵观全文，作者提倡的是正确对待雄心，坦言自己的抱负。因此B选项“公开而热情地”是作者提倡的对待雄心的正确态度。(2)把握作者的写作意

30、图ExampleNo clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur” does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not full

31、y share its values. The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom. (2001年 Passage 1)The author writes of the development of geology to demonstrate.A the process of specialisation and professionalisationB the hardship of amateurs in scien
