  推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意义的基础上,通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示,作出一定的判断和推理,从而得出文章的深层意义及隐含意义的过程。推理判断题在阅读中属于难度较高的题型,通常占总题数的15%-30%。它主要考查考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力以及考生的识别能力。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可能是某几句话,要求考生在遵循原文意义的基础上,对文章字面信息进行分析、挖掘、逻辑推理,揭示其深层含义。常出现的推理题有逻辑推理、知识推理等。这类考题中常出现的词有:infer, imply, suggest, indicate, conclude, learn from, probably, most likely, can, could, might, may等。
  【例析】(2010辽宁卷) 
  It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
  Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
  This seemed like money for nothing. ... Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long. 
  The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
  ... They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
  Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
  Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
  59. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?
  A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
  B. Health is more important than money.
  C. The harmony between man and nature is important.
  D. good old day will never be forgotten.
  答案C。
  【解析】推理判断题。最后一句These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义。该句是一个中介句,说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡,由此也影响了人类。因此,可以推断人与自然和谐的重要性。A、B只是片面的结论。
  做推理判断题必须在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,掌握文章的真正内涵。(1)要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础;(2)要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表入里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从特殊到一般,通过分析、综合、判断等,进行深层处理,符合逻辑地推理。不能就事论事,断章取义,以偏概全;(3)要忠实于原文,不能主观臆想,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;(4)要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调,揣摩作者的态度,摸准逻辑发展的方向,悟出作者的弦外之音。
  错误选项的特点:
  (1) 原文信息的简单重复而非推断出来的结论;
  (2) 推理过度的片面结论;
  (3) 与文中内容不符或完全相反的结论;
  (4) 符合考生已有的常识但文章中没有信息支持。
  下面就常考的几种推断题具体地讲一讲:
  (一) 作者情感、观点、态度推断题
  就是作者对于某人、某地或某事等字里行间所流露出来的情感,如高兴、兴奋、喜悦、快乐、吃惊、忧虑、困惑、忧伤、憎恨等。题干中常有the author felt, feel about, the author’s attitude towards等字眼。解答这类题要设身处地,站在作者的角度,才能体会出作者的真实情感。解答时要根据作者在文中的措辞,尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词、副词、动词及所举的例子,推断作者的弦外之音。还要熟悉作者表达观点态度的词,如subjective (主观的),objective (客观的),positive (积极的),negative (消极的),neutral (中立的) 等。
  【典例1】(2010天津卷)
  In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (记事本) and a hole for a pencil.
  I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
  “I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking back into the livingroom with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”
  My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”...
  47. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?
  A. It has great value for the family.
  B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.
  C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.

  (二) 文中人物思想、情感、态度推断题

  2. What kind of man somebody is?
  3. Somebody can be said to be.
  做这类题时一定要注意:
  (1) 准确把握字里行间的意思,切忌用自己的观点代替作者的观点;
  (2) 特别注意表达情感、态度和观点的词语;
  (3) 认真领悟文中人物的对话。
  【典例2】(2010浙江卷)
  ...“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted bit stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
  The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble. 
  My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art ...

  (3) 产品说明:器皿、设备的使用说明会有产品名称或操作方式,而药品的服用说明会告知服用时间、次数、药量;

  【典例4】(2010湖北卷)
  In this article, I’ll describe three nowin situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first nowin situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.

  D. Future of the parentteen relationship.
  (五) 文章逻辑结构推断题
  做这类题需要首先了解文章的体裁和篇章结构,找出每段的主题句。每篇文章绝不是互不相干的句子杂乱无章的堆砌。作者为文,有脉可循。如记叙文多以人物为中心,以时间或空间为线索,按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事;论述文则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素,通过解释、举例来阐述观点。可根据文章的特点,详读细节,以动词、时间、地点、事件、因果等为线索,找出关键词语,运用“画图列表法”,勾画出一幅完整清晰的文章主题和细节的认知图

  【典例5】(2010江西)
  Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551-479 B.C.) , and Socrates (469-399 B.C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
  The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek citystates were small and urban. ... Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not ... Confucius, on the other hand, advised ...
  Confucius suggested ... Socrates focused ...
  For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
  Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
  67. This passage is organized in the pattern of

  【典例6】(2009 全国Ⅱ)
  I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it.
  But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
  I put away the leftovers instead of eating more at night. Try it you may save yourself some prebedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
  44. The text is written mainly for those
  A. who go to work early.
  B. who want to lose weight.
  C. who stay up late.
  D. who eat before sleep.
  答案及解析:
  【典例1】答案:B。根据第三段中I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.可推断,作者认为the wooden stand该换成更好的了。
  【典例2】答案:B。推理判断题。根据上文作者母亲的话可以推断出,母亲特别反感作者的一些行为,所以很生气,认为她是一个麻烦制造者。
  【典例3】答案:B。推理判断题。从全文的内容来看,本文主要报道了一个实验及实验得出的结果,所以由此判断本文可能来自于新闻报道,A项小说不可能。因为文章没有小说的特点;C项不正确,本文没有涉及宠物问题;D项不正确,因为本文也没涉及旅游的问题。 
  【典例4】答案:C。考点:考查学生的概括能力。
  原文第三段说 “In this article. I’ll describe three nowin situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. ”清楚地说明了文章的结构,先分类阐述家长与孩子之间矛盾的三种情况,然后给出解决方法,因此答案为C。
  【典例5】答案:B。考点:篇章结构理解题。
  本篇文章通篇采用对比的手法,将孔子和苏格拉底在哲学观念上的相同以及不同之处进行比较论述。故选择B选项。
  【典例6】答案:B。该文主要是针对有些人对吃早餐存有误解,为了减肥而不吃早餐,建议人们要吃早餐。文中还给了一些如何燃烧脂肪的建议。故推断该文是写给那些想减肥的人看的。
