2012年職稱英語考試閱讀理解細節推理題解題技巧與大家分享，祝學習愉快！

　　一、細節題

　　大綱對考生掌握的閱讀能力的第二條要求是：了解闡述主旨的事實和細節。也就是說我們在閱讀一篇文章時，除了抓住文章的主旨和大意外，還必須弄清文中的一些重要事實或細節，因為它們是作者得出結論或闡明論點的依據。了解這些事實或細節有助于領會并確定文章的主題思想。

　　細節類題目在職稱英語等級考試的閱讀理解題中占的比例最大，涉及的內容也很廣，因此，我們在復習應考時，應注意在該類題目上多下功夫。細節題常出why， when， where， what， who等疑問詞引導的句子提問。解答細節題的關鍵在于從問題中找出問題的關鍵詞，即能表達問題所涉及內容的中心詞，然后迅速在短文中用查讀的方法找出關鍵詞在短文中的位置，以及包含所需信息的句子或短語，最后根據這些句子或短語做出正確的選擇。

　　細節類題目常見提問形式有：

　　What causes……？

　　Why does the author mention……？

　　How many……？

　　where in the passage does the author describe……？

　　What time does the writer think is ……？

　　The author mentions that……？

　　The writer states……？

　　等等

　　對于這種題型，考生可以首先從問題中找到關鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運用查讀的方法到文章中尋找這一細節，找到后再把這一部分內容仔細閱讀一遍，從而保證對這一細節的正確理解，最后確定正確答案。

　　Let Them Watch It

　　One hot night last July， when our new baby wouldn‘t or couldn’t sleep， I tried everything I could think of ： a warm bottle， songs， and gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me， I brought a portable TV into his room， figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise， as soon as the TV lit up， the baby quieted right down， his little eyes， focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep， I then tiptoed out of the room， leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi‘s fortyfifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night， and the next morning when I went into his room， I found him still watching TV himself.

　　I found in my baby‘s behaviour a metaphor for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine， but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him， he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read， that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby， however， I have reached a conclusion； let them watch it. If television is that much more attractive to children than books， why should we fight it？ Let them watch it all they want！

　　這是99年試題中的一篇

　　短文。短文講的是一個炎熱的夏天，孩子就是不愿意睡覺，作者想盡了各種辦法，又是拿奶瓶，又是唱歌，又是搖晃，就是不管用。實在沒有辦法，把一個手提電視給他拿了過去，孩子立刻就不鬧了。我們看第36題：

　　36. The author brought a TV set into his son‘s room to

　　A）make his son stop crying.

　　B） spend the night watching TV.

　　C） leave it to his son.

　　D） make his son fall asleep as soon as possible.

　　題目問的是作者把電視拿到他兒子屋里去的目的是什么。這道題就屬于細節性題目。在回答這類題目時，就要到文中找有關信息。請看第一段第三句： Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me……watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn.作者把電視機拿到他兒子的房間里本不是給他兒子看的，而是準備讓自己看深夜電影來打發長夜難熬的時光。所以，選項B為最佳答案。其他三個選項都不是他把電視機拿到兒子房間里去的初衷。下面我們看推理題。

　　二、推理題

　　一篇文章往往包含兩方面的內容：即字面內容和內在內容。所謂內在的內容，是指由于種種原因，文章的作者并不直說出其意，而是把要表達的意思隱藏在字里行間。推理題就是要求考生依據文章所提供的事實，透過表面的文章信息去推測文章深層的含義。推理能力包括歸納、演繹、分析，綜合、引申等。閱讀理解題中最讓考生頭痛的應屬推理題。這類題既有以局部內容為基礎的簡單推理，也有以某一段落，甚至整篇文章為基礎判斷作者（或文中某人物）態度、觀點、意圖、語氣、身份及文章文體等的復雜推理。

　　推理題往往以下列形式出現：

　　It can be inferred from the passage that……

　　In this passage the author implies that……
