英语阅读中态度类问题理解技巧
怎样回答阅读理解中的态度类问题
关于作者的态度类问题（Attitude）
阅读理解的最后一题常常提问在作者对文章中某一问题的态度（Attitude）、全文的基调（Tone）、文章的出处（Source）及对文章前后接续内容的判断等。
关于态度或基调（Attitude/Tone）类题的回答应从篇章的体裁着手，一般来说，在说明文中作者的态度是客观的'(objective)或中立的(neutral)；而在议论文中，作者的观点才会显得多种多样，常风的选项有：
（1） positive（积极的）
（2） negative（消极的）
（3） neutral（中立的）
（4） approval（赞成的）
（5） disapproval（不赞成的）
（6） indifferent（漠不关心的）
（7） sarcastic（讽刺的）
（8） critical（批评的）
（9） optimistic（乐观的）
（10） pessimistic（悲观的）
引类问题的几种提问方式：
(1)What’s the writer’s attitude to …?
(2)What’s the tone of the passage?
(3)The author’s view is _______
(4)The writer’s attitude of .this passage is apparently _________
(5)The author suggests that _________
(6)According to author __________
有文章中，作者观点明确，文章基调清楚，而有的文章中，作者仅仅暗示对某一问题的态度和观点，需要阅读时仔细琢磨。解答这类问题时，首先应请注意篇章中起连接手段作用的那些词语；其次应注意有些表明作者观点词汇，如形容词、动词等。
对文章的出处及文章前后接续内容判断等可从全篇着手，从个别句子或词汇找线索进行判断。
Example :
I am not so na?ve ,however ,as to believe that sex is responsible for this unfortunate situation of the American woman. I am not a feminist , but I am an individualist. I do not believe there is any important difference between men and women. certainly not as much as there may be between one woman and another or one man and an-other. There are plenty of women and men, for that matter who would be completely fulfilled in being allowed to be as lazy as possible. If someone will ensconce them in a pleasant home and pay their bills, they ask no more of life. It is quite all right for these men and women to live thus so long as fools can be found who will pay so much for nothing much in return. Gigolos , male and female, are to be found in every class and in the best of homes. But when a man does not want to be a gigolo, he has the freedom to go out and work and create as well as he can. But a woman has not. Even if her individual husband lets her, tradition in society is against her. In this passage the author looks on the situation of women with an attitude of .
A) amusement
B) indifference
C) disapproval
D) condemnation
此篇文章中，作者对待这一问题的态度十分明确、强硬（如用语I am not …等等 ），因此只参在选项C和D中选择。而从文章中的"gigolos",’fools’等词可看出作者不仅不赞成而且态度更甚。所以，选项C程度还不够，这一题的正确答案是D。
