以下为本文档部分文字说明:
专题09阅读理解之推断题(原卷版)推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。解答该类型题目时一定要从整体上把握语篇内容,在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息之间架起桥梁,透过字里行间,去体会作者的“弦外之音”和“言外之意”。在进行推断时,要据文推
理、合情推理,不可脱离原文主观臆断。推理判断题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理,推测作者未明确提到的事实或某事件发展的趋势。推理判断能力是阅读理解能力的重要组成部分,因而也是阅读理解部分重点考查的能力之一。每年每套题通常会有4~6题。一
、思维导图推断隐含意义思维导图二、方法点拨(一)推理判断题题干常用词一般来说,推理判断题题干中主要包括下面的词语:knowabout,learnfrom,infer,imply,suggest,conclude,purpose,a
ttitude,probably,mostlikely等。(二)推理判断题正确选项特征推理判断题中的正确选项是依据文章的事实或证据推断出的符合逻辑的结论或观点,正确选项一般具有以下特征:1.“立足原文,只推一步”,即根据原文内容,一步即可推得。2.选项中一般不可以出现绝对概念。如on
ly,never,all,absolutely等,正确答案的表述一般有一点模糊,会用一些相对能够留有一些余地的词汇,如often,usually,sometimes,some,may,might,can,could,possibly,probably等。(三)推理判断题
干扰选项特征1.曲解文意:即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别。推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话,命题者可能会利用里面的词设计出干扰项,看似表达文章的意思,其实是借题发挥,是对原文意思的曲解。2.张冠李戴:
即把文章中作者的观点与其他人的观点混淆在一起。题干问的是作者的观点,选项中出现的却是其他人的观点;题干问的是其他人的观点,选项中却出现了作者的观点。3.偷梁换柱:干扰项用了与文章中某一句话相似的句型结构和单词,却在考生易忽视的地方换了几个单词,造成句意的改
变。4.无中生有:这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点,但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。其次,这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。5.鱼目混珠:鱼目混珠类型的干扰项常出现在词句理解类试题的选项中,即利用某个词或句子的字面含义代替其在文章特定语境中的具体含义。6.扩缩范围
:为了准确、严密地表达文章内容,命题者特别注意对文意范围的限定,有时通过加上almost,all,nearly,morethan,normally,usually等词语对文意加以限制。“扩缩范围”干扰法就是在选项中通过改变或去掉限制性词语,将信息的范围、程度、感情色彩等改变,从而给考生

范]题干信息Whatdoestheauthorthinkof:作者态度newdevices:新设备文体特点科技说明文:一项研究新旧设备耗能的报告。原文查找That'sbadnewsfortheenvironment—andourwallets—astheseo
utdateddevicesconsumemuchmoreenergythantheneweronesthatdothesamethings.信息整合①做同样的事情旧设备耗能高(consumemuchmoreenergy)②旧设备不利于环境保护(badnewsforth
eenvironment)③旧设备更浪费钱财(ourwallets)信息推断上面旧设备的缺点是在和新设备相比较(thanthenewerones)得出的结论,故新设备可以克服以上缺点。选项分析A.新设备是环保的(The
yareenvironment-friendly);属于正确信息推断。B.新设备并不比旧设备好(Theyarenobetterthantheold);属于“无中生有”型错误。C.新设备在家中使用的费用更高(Theycostmoretouseathome);属于“无
中生有”型错误。D.新设备很快就过时了(Theygooutofstylequickly);属于“曲解文意”型错误。得出结论由以上信息分析可知,A项正确。例子2We'veallbeenthere:inal

ationbetweenstrangers.D.Impatiencewithslowservice.[解题示范]细研题干定题型由题干可知本题是对文章局部(第一段)进行深层理解的考查。细读语段明大意地点公共场合:①电
梯中;②在银行排队中;③飞机上人物①专注地盯着自己的手机;②苦苦挣扎于令人不自在的沉默中甄别选项定答案细研干扰项A项为原文中的事实,不是推断出的内容。B项,文中提及的这些行为是否“合适”原文中没有提及,属于“无中生有”型错误。D项在原文中没有提及
,属于“无中生有”型错误。断定答案该段提到在公共场合中,周围都是人的情况下,人们只是专注地盯着自己的手机,或者苦苦挣扎于令人不自在的沉默中,从中可以推断出文章首段描述了陌生人之间缺少交流的现象。故选择C项。例子3[1]

种莓类所含的营养成分;第三、四段介绍各种水果搭配的食用方法。在这一过程中作者使用了客观的语气,通俗易懂的方法,形象地说明了水果搭配的技巧。确定答案本文是向大众介绍饮食方法,跟健康有关,应该出自健康杂志。所以B项正确。三、高考真题1.2022年6月新高考1卷B篇Likem
