解答“文中某人觀點態度”閱讀題的關鍵

趙浪

近五年高考英語全國卷中有以下七道題的答題信息都來自文中的直接引語：

33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？（2017年全國Ⅲ卷）

33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci？（2018年全國Ⅱ卷）

29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？（2019年全國Ⅱ卷）

25. What does Hill say about Chinese women？（2019年全國Ⅲ卷）

31. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan？（2020年全國Ⅱ卷）

29. What is Nicks attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law？（2020年全國Ⅲ卷）

34. Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau？（2020年全國Ⅲ卷）

這七道題的考點和標志詞如下表所示：

由上表可知，若題干中含有sbs attitude towards...，就是問文中某人的態度，含有according to sb或sb say about...等的題目，就是問文中某人的觀點、看法，或推斷某人所說的隱含意思（即話中有話），能體現某人的觀點態度的就是該人所說的話。因此，解答這類題的關鍵是用題干中出現的這個人物，去文中搜索該人所講的話，即直接引語。有時，個別細節題，其答案信息也在直接引語中。

一、問某人的態度

[例1]（2020年全國Ⅲ卷）

“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house，” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in：“We spoke more with Nick because I think its a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”

And what does Nick think？“From my standpoint， it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it？ Yes， I think I would.”

Its hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him， but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325，000 in 2002 to 419，000 in 2013.

35. What is Nicks attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law？

A. Positive.? ?B. Carefree.? ?C. Tolerant.? ?D. Unwilling.

解題思路：題干問的是Nick對于與岳母合住房子的態度。用Nick到文中找到與他有關的直接引語：And what does Nick think？“From my standpoint， it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it？ Yes， I think I would.”句意是，“尼克是怎么想的？‘從我的角度來看，一切都很順利。我推薦它嗎？是的，我想我會推薦（在一起居住）的。”由此可推斷出，尼克對和和岳母合住房子的態度是積極的。故選A項。

需要強調的是，在做這類題時，要注意題干中問的是誰的態度。同時，也需要熟練掌握表達不同態度的詞：

（1）樂觀支持類：positive（積極的）， favorable（贊同的）， supportive（支持的）， approval（贊成）

（2）客觀中立類：objective（客觀的）， neutral（中立的）

（3）消極反對類：negative（消極的）， doubtful（懷疑的）， indifferent（漠不關心的）， critical（批評的）， ironic（諷刺的）

二、問某人的看法

[例2]（2019年全國Ⅲ卷）

“China is impossible to overlook，”says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world， which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.”Of course， not only are todays top Western designers being influenced by China — some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang， Alexander Wang， Jason Wu are taking on Galiano， Albaz， Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales，”adds Hill.

25. What does Hill say about Chinese women？

A. They are setting the fashion.

B. They start many fashion campaigns.

C. They admire super models.

D. They do business all over the world.

解題思路：題干問的是Hill對于中國女性的看法。由直接引語“China is impossible to overlook，”says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world， which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.”可知，中國女性不僅是時尚的消費者，她們還是時尚運動的核心，故選A項，他們正在引領潮流。

[例3]（2019年全國Ⅱ卷）

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone， but together， you know？”Bechtel said， looking up from her book. Bechtel， who works in downtown West Palm Beach， has lunch with coworkers sometimes， but like many of us， too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today， I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.

29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？

A. To meet with her coworkers.

B. To catch up with her work.

C. To have some time on her own.

D. To collect data for her report.

解題思路：題干問的是為什么Bechtel喜歡獨自外出吃飯。……
