理题

【摘要】推理引申题主要测试考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力,要求大家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大家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。因此大家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同学而言是一个难点,大家似乎对文章读懂了(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。这是因为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,更要求大家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,大家应该根据文中的材料进行有关的判断、推理和引申。接下来就为大家详细讲解推理题的解题技巧。

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 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 last 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 1

If 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Passage 5)

The author implies that the results of scientific research .

[A] may not be as profitable as they are expected

[B] can be measured in dollars and cents

[C] rely on conformity to a standard pattern

[D] 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 2

Why 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 arithmetic 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 develops 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 knowledge

[B] shed light on disciplined school management

[C] was brought about by privileged home training

[D] owed a lot to 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;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

Example

Examples 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 century 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, concentration is increasing-witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan—but 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 consumers

[B] WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs

[C] the costs of the globalization process are enormous

[D] 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,表示对过去的推测。

(2)运用数字进行推理

Example

Emerging 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 development—and its strong implication for US politics and economy in years ahead—has enthroned the South as America’s most densely populated region for the first time in the history of the nation’s head counting.

Altogether, the Us population rose in the 1970s by 23.2 million people—numerically the third-largest growth ever recorded in a single decade. Even so, that gain adds up to only 11.4 percent, lowest in American annual records except for the Depression years.

Americans have been migrating south and west in larger numbers since World War Ⅱ, and the pattern still prevails. (1998年Passage 4)

Discerned from the perplexing picture of population growth the 1980 census provided, America in 1970s .

[A] enjoyed the lowest net growth of population in history

[B] witnessed a southwestern shift of population

[C] underwent an unparalleled period of population growth

[D] brought to a standstill its pattern of migration since World War Ⅱ

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

Example1

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal 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 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 experiences 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 habit

[B] he has made great efforts in his work

[C] he is keen on learning anything new

[D] 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。

2017年考研英语完形填空全年复习攻略

2017年考研英语完形填空全年复习攻略 完形填空是考研英语复习容易忽略的一部分,考研总结了完形填空的命题规律,能力考查和复习方法,希望对2017年考生有所帮助。 一、命题规律 完型填空的文章结构最常采用总分对照型。此种结构对于整篇文章而言,是通过总述句概括出文章的中心思想,然后由分述部分对中心主线展开详细描述。因此文章的首句或首段就是中心句(topic sentence),做题时一定要特别重视。 完型填空的文章体裁以说明文和议论文为主。完形填空所选的短文多是观点鲜明、条理清楚的说明文或议论文,所涉及的多是科普、经济、历史、社会、文化、教育等,具有一定时代感、现实性或科学性的文章。如:1998年:对英国工业革命的看法;2003年:青少年的身心教育;1999年:劳动安全措施;2004年:青少年犯罪;2000年:农业经济;2005年:人类嗅觉的灵敏度;2001年:新闻立法;2006年:美国无家可归人口问题;2007年:殖民地国家独立后的改革;2008年:人类智能。2009年:聪明的代价。考生如果平时多读这一类文章,积累多方面的词汇和背景知识,就能很容易地弄清文章的大意和逻辑关系,为做题打下良好的基础。 二、能力考查 1、巩固、扎实、熟练的英语语法知识和丰富的英语词语知识 当前英语中的完形填空试题,并不直接地去考查语法知识。但是,

解答试题的前提是读懂文章,而读懂文章就必须懂得语法。所以,完型不直接考查语法知识,并不是不需要语法知识,它是通过检查你的理解程度,来间接地考查你的语法知识。一个人的英语语法知识越丰富,阅读速度就越快,理解就会更为、深刻。 2、英语阅读理解能力,良好的阅读习惯,熟练的阅读技巧 特别是快速阅读理解能力,甚至是跳过一些词语(空格),浏览文章,掌握大意的能力很重要。完型填空试题是为阅读理解服务的,其主旨是考查阅读理解能力。对文章内容理解得越、越深刻,就越容易选择正确答案。而这种阅读理解能力是靠平时的练习得来的。 3、分析认识文章结构,理解领会文章各部分、各层次之间逻辑关系的能力 只有明白文章结构,了解各段落之间的关系,才能加深对文章的理解,也就更容易把握有空格的句子所需要内容,就更容易选准答案。 4、逻辑思维能力,特别是总结概括、推理判断和分析归纳的能力 这些能力的发挥,有助于抓住文章的主题思想,加深对文章深层次意义的理解,从而更容易完成“完型”的任务,恢复文章的原貌。 5、在阅读中捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力 在选择每一个答案时,我们要求依据文章的整体内容,这就要照顾文章的方方面面,不能顾此失彼。特别是一些结构词,如but,however,therefore,though等等,更要给予特别的注意。但是,我们在做题的实践中,不可能总是重复地阅读文章。这就需要对关键

2017考研英语一阅读答案 答案:21-25 ACDDC 21. 答案【A】explain American’s tolerance of current security checks. 解析:本题目为例证题,考察论点与论据。根据题干关键词the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804定位到第二段第二句。例证题中的例子为论据,所要找的答案为论点,而论点在论据之 前,因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。二段首句说的是美国人愿意忍受长时间的安全 检查。正确答案A的American’s tolerance是原文Americans are willing to tolerate的原词复现,current security checks是原文的time-consuming security 的同义转化。干扰项B 的urgency to strengthen security worldwide,原文未提及worldwide,属于扩大范围;选项C的major U.S. major airports属于具体信息的干扰;选项D的privacy 隐私并未提及,是常识性干扰。 22. 答案【C】An increase in the number of travelers. 解析:本题目为原因细节题。根据题干中的long waits at major airports定位到原文第三段的第二句,原文的resulted in 与题干中的contributed to是同义转化,所以定位内容就 是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。正确答案C的an increase in the number of travelers 是原文 a rise in airline travel的同义替换。干扰项A的carry-on bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的,非定位句内容;选项B的TSA efficiency也出现在第四段;选项D的unexpected secret checks未提及。

School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising(修改) their thinking on his educational ritual(例行公事). Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible (不可变更的) policy which mandates(批准) that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade。 家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎,但最近几年来,家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视。全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法。不幸的是,洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程,家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%。 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____。 [A] is receiving more criticism [B] is no longer an educational ritual(绝对) [C] is not required for advanced courses(正反) [D] is gaining more preferences(正反) 2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children。 这个规定旨在提出:来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难,不能完成家庭作业。但该政策是不清晰的,是矛盾的。显然,没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的。但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话,那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子,标准要降低。

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18)

2020年考研英语阅读理解模拟试题:医学(18) It was a big week for Alzheimer's disease, and not just because PBS aired The Forgetting, a first-rate documentary about Alzheimer's worth catching in reruns if you missed it the first time. There was also a flurry of scientific news that offered hope to the families already struggling with Alzheimer's, as well as to the baby-boom generation that's up next. Unless something dramatic happens, the number of Americans living with this terrifying brain disease could triple, to about 16 million, over the next 50 years. There's still no cure in sight, but there is progress on several fronts. Among them: MEGADOSE VITAMINS Doctors knew vitamins E and C, both antioxidants, help stave off Alzheimer's, at least in folks who haven't already developed the disorder. What they didn't know——but a big study involving 4,740 participants published in the Archives of Neurology showed——was that the two vitamins taken together in huge daily doses (at least 400 IU of E and more than 500 mg of C) could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's a remarkable 78%. COMBINATION THERAPY A yearlong study of more than 400 Alzheimer's patients showed that two drugs that work differently on the brain's chemistry act well together to help slow down the disease. Patients who were being treated with donepezil (sold as Aricept), an older drug that preserves the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, were also given memantine (Namenda), a new drug approved by the FDA last October that blocks overproduction of a harmful brain chemical called glutamate. The two drugs worked even better

2017考研英语:翻译复习重要知识点总结

2017考研英语:翻译复习重要知识点总结一、理解英语原文,拆分语法结构 由于英语语言具有“形合”的特点,也就是说,英语句子无论多么复杂,都是通过一些语法手段和逻辑手段连接起来的“像葡萄藤一样”的结构。如果搞不清楚句子的语法结构,考生是很难做出正确的翻译的。因此在翻译句子之前,必须先通读全句,一边读一边拆分句子的语法结构,这是正式动笔翻译之前的一项重要准备工作。 怎么拆分呢?具体来讲,考生可以寻找下面一些“信号词”来对英语句子进行拆分,进而更加有效地理解英语原文。 1.基本原则: 把主句和从句拆分出来,把主干部分和修饰部分拆分出来。 2.连词: 如and, or, but, yet, for等并列连词连接着并列句;还有连接状语从句的连接词,如:when, as, since, until, before, after, where, because, since, thought, although, so that, ......等等;它们是考生要寻找的第一大拆分点。 3.关系词: 如连接名词性从句的who, whom, whose, what, which, whatever, whichever等关系代词和when, where, how, why等关系副词;还有连接定语从句的关系代词,如who, which, that, whom, whose等等;它们是第二大拆分点。 4.标点符号:

标点符号常常断开句子的主干和修饰部分,也是一个明显的拆分点。 5. 除此之外,介词on, in, with, at, of, to等引导的介词短语,不定式符号to,分词结构也可以作为拆分点。 例如:Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.(35词,2003年62题) 拆分本句的信号词有:which, in, that。注意本句出现的两个and 连接的是几个词汇,并非句子,所以不用作为拆分点。因此这个句子可以拆分成四个片段。拆分后句子的总结构是: (1)主干Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry; (2)定语从句which seeks to study humans and their endeavors; (3)方式状语in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner; (4)定语从句that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena。 二、运用翻译策略,组合汉语译文 正确理解原文后,接下来就是翻译。翻译时,关键是综合运用各种翻译方法将英文的原意忠实地表达出来。主要有如下翻译技巧。 1.词汇的增减转 由于英汉两种语言的差异,在英文看上去比较正常的句子,译成
