2022考研英语阅读解题思路：态度题

　　态度题解题思路

　　态度题在每年的考研英语真题当中一般会考一个到两个。虽然分值比重不高，但是这种题目是有固定解题策略的，所以不能失分。此外考生还需要记住一些重点的常考态度词，例如supportive支持的, sympathetic 同情的, optimistic乐观的, Object反对, negative消极的, Neutral中立的, unbiased没有偏见的，doubtful怀疑的, puzzled迷惑的，concerned担忧的，panicked恐惧的，indifference漠不关心的，冷漠的，biased有偏见的等等。下面，我们以2009年的真题为例：Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership—that is, it predicted the opposite.

　　30. What is the author’s attitude towards IQ tests?

　　[A] Supportive

　　[B] Skeptical

　　[C] Impartial

　　[D] Biased

　　解析：态度题要根据题干找出两个要素，一是谁的态度，二是对什么的态度。该题问的是作者对于智商测验的态度。该题的定位关键词是IQ tests大写专有名词，很好定位。返回原文定位到第三句Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.“智力测验不一定预测的如此之好，一旦人口和环境发生改变的话”。可以看出作者智力测验的评价是“它不一定好”，这说明作者并不是完全肯定智力测验。根据选项对应到Skeptical怀疑地，就是认为它存在一定的问题，不能完全肯定。再看其他选项，[A] Supportive支持，和原文态度不符。[C] Impartial公正的，[D] Biased有偏见的，无论是公正还是偏见，定位句都没有体现出此类含义，所以可以排除。

　　考研英语阅读中的态度题是一类有着特殊解题特点的题目，只要根据定位要素，找到了态度对象，再根据定位句本身判断其语义倾向，然后对比选项的态度词进行排除就可以。所以解题的关键是要定位到态度对象表达观点态度的句子，此时定位的方法和细节题的定位处理方式是一样的。希望考生多做真题，勤加练习，熟练掌握。
