2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习阅读理解推理判断题专练三观点态度类(xx·河南、河北七所名校联考)When it es to writing work emails, there are many rules to follow. In the past, people always wanted to e across as someone who's calm and professional, which workplace manners experts say means they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons (表情符号) while on the job.But language is always changing, and a recent national survey in the US found that 76 percent of Americans said that they had used emoticons in digital munication at work. The most popular emoticon is the happy face.Lindsey Pollak, a US career coach who works with Millennials (千禧一代), has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplace to being accepted. The reason behind this, according to her, is largely due to the changing of people in a particular age group of the workforce. Millennials are now the biggest generation in the American workforce. “A few years ago, emoticons were absolutely seen as very young and very personal，” Pollak said. “Over the past few years... I've seen emoticons bee more acceptable. I see them more frequently not just from Millennials but from all generations at the workplace.”“People tend to use emoticons to just add that little bit of extra change in the tone when there's something awkward or potentially offensive, or when they might take in things in the wrong way，” explains Lauren Collister, a sociolinguist. In life and work, many of us have used emoticons to send positive atmosphere or soften statements.Pollak, however, warns against being too casual at work. Her advice is to be aware of who the audience is. “Frankly, I wouldn't use a happy face with any CEO in the US. I wouldn't use a happy face with the people of a certain level no matter how monplace and acceptable it has bee，” she said. “You can make or break a relationship with one email these days.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍了表情符号在工作邮件中的使用越来越流行的原因以及人们对此要注意的方面。

高考英语二轮复习训练-阅读理解(态度推断题)
高考英语复习-阅读理解（态度推断题）命题规律探究的；pessimistic悲观的高考真题引领（2021年新高考I卷D篇，保留原题序号）Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的)intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and“people skills.”Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities,but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients,while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视)on emotion by employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable,we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角)from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence,with its focus on both head and heart,may serve to point us in the right direction.32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A.It can be measured by an IQ test.B.It helps to exercise a person's mind.C.It includes a set of emotional skills.D.It refers to a person’s positive qualities.33.Why does the author mention“doctor”and“cheater”in paragraph2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarify a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.34.What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A.Its appeal to the public.B.Expectations for future studies.C.Its practical application.D.Scientists with new perspectives.【答案】32.D33.B34.A35.B【解题导读】本文是一篇议论文。
高考英语二轮复习阅读理解中推理判断—观点态度题考查解读
2020届二轮复习阅读理解中推理判断—观点态度题考查解读【题型解读】所谓作者的观点和态度，就是表达作者对某个话题、行为、事件的看法、感觉或判断。
作者的观点和态度一般分为三大类：支持、赞同、乐观；客观、中立；反对、批评、怀疑、悲观。

因此，在推断过程中，应特别注意文中作者的措辞，尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词或副词。
此类试题往往让考生推断文章作者或文中人物对某事所持的态度、观点或看法，或推断文中人物的语气、性格等。

(3)结合平时所积累的有关英语国家的文化传统、风俗习惯等的背景知识来进行合理的推断。
(4)关注首段首尾句，推断文章主题，确定作者观点。
2．要分清选项中的表示支持或肯定、中立、反对或否定的词语，再以此对照文章内容。
下面是一些常见的有关作者情感、态度的词语：(1)表示支持或肯定的词语favorable赞同的，有利的；positive积极的，肯定的，确实的；supportive支持的；approval赞成，正式批准；reasonable合理的；enthusiastic热情的等。

At an early age, he left school and supported himself through a succession of un skilled jobs ----working as a paper boy, in bowling alleys, on ice wagons, and in canneries（罐头食品厂）and mills. Despite working long hours at these jobs, London was able to read constantly, borrowing travel and adventure books from the library.Once back in California, London became determined to earn a living as a writer. He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.According to legend, London’s piles of rejection slips from publishers grew to five feet in height! ell on the way of creating a new model for spreading through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world.

All of above.DIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. Th e children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents usedstickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.16．The purpose of writing the passage is .A．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB．to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC．to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD．to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents17．The underlined word “backfire”in Paragraph 2 probably means “”. A．shoot from behind the back B．make a lire in the hackyardC．produce an unexpected result D．achieve what was planned18．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B．It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables. C．Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.19．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?B．By asking questions.C．By giving examples, D．By discussion.20．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B．Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C．Children are difficult to inspire.D．Parents should give up verbal praise.1234568 9 10 C C D C A D B C D C111213141516171920 D A C B D A C B A B。

The most popular emoticon is the happy face.Lindsey Pollak, a US career coach who works with Millennials (千禧一代), has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplaceto being accepted. The reason behind this, according to her, is largely due to thechanging of people in a particular age group of the workforce. Millennials are now the biggest generation in the American workforce. “A few years ago, emoticons were absolutely seen as very young and very personal，” Pollak said. “Over t he past few years... I've seen emoticons become more acceptable. I see them more frequently not just from Millennials but from all generations at the workplace.”“People tend to use emoticons to just add that little bit of extra change inthe tone when there's something awkward or potentially offensive, or when they might take in things in the wrong way，” explains Lauren Collister, a sociolinguist.

(新课标)2020高考英语二轮总复习第三讲阅读理解3.6推理判断(三)态度或观点推断课件
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year's I/O Conference，a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.

B(xx·河南省第二次统一检测)Half of primary schools will adopt the traditional Chinese method of maths teaching in a Government drive to stop British youngsters from falling behind their_Asian_counterparts.Youngsters in the UK are way behind those in China, Singapore and Japan in numeracy (计算能力). In the latest PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests for 15yearolds, Shanghai came top in m aths while the UK came 26th.The school will give up “childcentred” styles and instead return to repetition, drills and “chalk and talk” wholeclass learning. Primary school children will be taught “Shanghai maths” as British schools copy Chinese teaching methods to improve standards. So far 140 teachers have been trained in the approach.Currently, classes are often divided into groups based on ability. Critics blame the British teaching styles that focused on applying maths to reallife situations in an effort to make the subject more interesting. They say this has led to confusion and stopped children learning the basics. Under the Government's new plans, children as young as five will have drills to practise sums and exercises, and must master each concept before moving to the next.Nick Gibb, the schools minister, said that training will be provided for 8 000 primary schools —half the country's total —to switch to the Shanghai “mastery” approach.“We are seeing a renaissance (复兴) in maths teaching in this country, with good ideas from around the world helping to cheer up our classrooms，” he said.【文章大意】本文是一则新闻报道。
