英语六级-完形语法关键句380. Having a tolerant attitude towards people

380. Having a tolerant attitude towards people with different ideas is an indication that one has been well educated.

译文　对于别人的不同看法采取包容的态度，这是一个人受过良好教育的表现。

点睛　本句的主语为having a tolerant attitude towards people with different ideas，谓语为is。

tolerant意为“宽容的”，可以和介词of或者towards搭配。如：

Her own mistakes made her very tolerant of/towards the faults of others. 她自身的错误使她对别人的错误也一概不计较了。

attitude在本句中意为“态度”；此外，attitude还有“看法；姿势”的含义。attitude后面接to或toward时，表示“对……的看法；对……的态度”。如：

1) What is your attitude to Internet games? 你对网络游戏有什么看法？

2) As you get older, your attitude towards death changes. 随着年龄的增长，你对死亡的看法也会有所改变。

考点归纳　attitude、altitude、aptitude和latitude的词形十分相近，需要注意区分：
