英语四级阅读推断题解题思路
推断题从提问方式上看,有三个词提示:
What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
What can be concluded from the passage?
What do we learn from the last paragraph?(切记,what do we learn about globalwarming?这种learn+细节内容的题目,属于细节题)
二、解题思路:
推断题近些年题目大多出现在文章最后一题,对应文章最后一段。同学做推断题切忌自行进行推理分析,正确选项应是原文信息的同意表达。
以2010年12月的推断题为例:
A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”
66. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
[A] It’s important that we develop a social network when young.
[B] To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.
[C] Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.
[D] We should share our social networks with each other.
这道题很多同学误选D选项。该选项就是典型的过度推理。原文确实提到了各种社会关系,同学阅读之后也感觉得社会关系在文章中是以积极正面形象出现的。于是,D,我们应该分享我们的社会关系。这句话没错,但它就不是正确选项。因为原文没有提到分享社会关系,这是同学阅读“感觉”“推理”出来个一个不对应原文的信息。
正确选项B。因为文章是想通的,一段信息就表达一个核心含义。所以无论同学读哪一句都能得到相同的答案。比如A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100。其中A life partner, children and good friends这些即对应选项的social network,其中if you aim to live to 100对应选项的to stay healthy.或者读第二句,but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”其中People are interconnected对应social network,其中so their health is interconnected对应to stayhealthy。
重申一下重点,推断题一定不要去推理,一定要立足原文,选择原文信息的同意表达。
