解題思路:注意說話人的語氣和基本感情色彩,注意其中的形容詞。
選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn):四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均含有態(tài)度類形容詞或副詞。
經(jīng)典考題:
例:2006年12月23日真題
9.[A]It's absurd.[B]It's tedious.
[C]It's understandable.[D]It's justifiable.
原文:M:What do you think of people suing McDonald's for making them fat?
W:Well.Its food doesn't make you fat.But eating too much of it does!How about chocolate and ice cream? Are they all responsible? It's silly!
Q:What does the woman think of the lawsuit against McDonald's?
答案:A
解析:四個(gè)選項(xiàng)各表達(dá)了一種態(tài)度,A項(xiàng)“不合理的,荒謬的”,B項(xiàng)“冗長乏味的”,C項(xiàng)“可理解的”,D項(xiàng)“有道理的”。聽的時(shí)候一定要注意原文中表達(dá)態(tài)度的詞匯。男士說:“你對于人們控告麥當(dāng)勞使他們發(fā)胖這件事怎么看?”女士回答:“麥當(dāng)勞的食物并不能使人發(fā)胖,但是這些食物吃多了就會胖了。難到巧克力和冰淇淋也該對人們發(fā)胖負(fù)責(zé)嗎?這種想法太傻了。”由silly一詞可知,女士的態(tài)度是認(rèn)為這很荒謬。當(dāng)然,這道題通過分析選項(xiàng)其實(shí)也能猜出答案。C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)基本相同,所以都不選。而A項(xiàng)和C、D兩項(xiàng)意思對立,所以答案是A。
