阅读策略提示

推理是阅读理解考试中常用的技巧之一，它要求考生在通篇理解文章的前提下，通过语篇逻辑关系，

研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。它必须忠实于

原文；要以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想象，随意揣测；它要求读者对

文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思，推理

才有前提和基础。

推理题常见的提问方式：

We can conclude from the passage that__________________.

It can be inferred from the passage that______________________

The writer suggests that________________.

What is the real meaning of the doctors’ words?

【答题技巧】

做这种题要从以下几方面入手：

（1）推断隐含意义

有时作者在文章中没有将某一个问题直接地陈述出来，而是暗含其中，对所隐含的意义进行推断。解

题时，要求考生要仔细阅读，需要考生忠实原文，吃透意思，在文章中找到问题涉及的有关信息、关键词，

以文章提供的事实和线索为依据、透过表面的文字、通过分析、思考、做出合乎情理的推断。

(2) 推断作者观点。

要求考生就作者对论述对象持什么样的态度做出推断，如作者对所陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹

豫不定，对记述或描写的人、物或事件是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩

不一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在字里行间。因此，进行这种推断时，我们既要依靠短文的主题思想作

为推理的前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是形容词一类的修饰语。

（3）推断文章出处。

根据短文的内容或结构来判断其出处，报纸：前面会出现日期、地点或通讯社名称；广告：其格式特

殊，容易判断；产品说明：器皿、设备的使用说明会有产品名称或操作方式，而药品的服用说明会告知服

用的时间、次数、用量等。

一、阅读理解

Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according

to three well-known English dictionaries.

The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose “climate emergency (

气候紧急状态

)", “climate strike

(

罢工

)” and “upcycling”, respectively (

分别地

), as their Word of the Year". This tells us that climate change was a

widely-discussed issue in 2019.

“Climate emergency” means a situation in which urgent (

紧急的

) action is needed to reduce climate change.

“Climate strike” refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment.

“Upcycling” refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

Climate change has already affected the world in many ways. Take Venice, for example. Due to climate

change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and

hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros (

欧元

).

Although we've known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have

been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage our leaders

to take responsibility.

“Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts (

影响

) could be seen as

an issue for future generations,” Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times.

“ It's definitely our issue now.”

However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat (

威胁

) is not enough. We must take real action

before it is too late.
