理题

推理引申题主要测试考生理清上下文逻辑关系的能力，要求考生领悟所读材料中句子之间的逻辑关系，并且根据材料提供的已知信息进行分析、归纳和推理。判断推理能力对深刻理解一篇文章十分重要，特别是理解作者字里行间的言外之意、作者的观点、写作意图和态度。命题专家在命制此类试题时通常要求考生对文章或段落进行深层推理和理解，不可能把试题的答案非常直接地暴露于选项中。因此考生应该注意把它与事实细节题区别开来，推理引申题必须以事实为依据，但是得出的结果又绝对不是事实本身，即不能“就事论事”。

跨考教育英语教研室吴老师在多年教学经验中发现，推理引申题对一些基础比较薄弱的考生而言是一个难点，考生似乎对文章读懂了(可称之为“自我感觉良好”)，然而在解题时却始终不知如何下手，试题也做得不好。这是考生没有领会命题专家设置推理引申试题的用意的缘故。事实上推理引申题考查的不仅是考生对字面意义的理解，更要求考生透过文章的字里行间去推测作者未明说而又意

欲表达的含义。解此类题，考生应该根据文中的材料进行有关的判断、推理和引申。接下来跨考教育英语教研室吴老师就为考生详细讲解推理题的解题技巧。

广义的推理引申题涵盖的范围极其广泛。它既可以就总体信息也可以就具体或特定信息提问。总体提问通常包括文章主旨题、作者观点态度题;局部提问通常指段落主旨题、猜测词义/句意题。但是为了突出这四种出现频率很高且带有典型性的题型，我们下面谈到的推理引申题是排除以上情况的狭义概念。

1 命题模式

狭义的推理引申题题干中常有infer，imply，suggest，deduce，conclude等词出现，常见的命题模式有：

(1)It can be inferred from the text/the last paragraph/the first sentence that...

(2)We can infer (assume, deduce) that .

(3)Which of the following can (not) be inferred from the passage? (4)It is implied (indicated,

suggested) in the passage/the first paragraph/the second sentence/the example that .

(5)By... the author implies (suggests,

indicates )that .

(6)The passage implies in the passage that .

(7)The author suggests(indicates)in the passage that .

(8)It can be concluded from the passage that .

(9)From the passage /the third paragraph/the last sentence/the example that... we can draw the conclusion that .

(10)What conclusion can be drawn from the passage (the first paragraph, the last paragraph)?

引申推理题按照解题思路主要可以分为暗指题、推理题和结论题。

暗指题的特点是要求读者体味“言外之意”，信息只能从字里行间获得。对于这类试题，考生首先要分清是明述还是暗指，即言内还是言外;其次，要尽可能与命题者达

成“共识”，因为命题人事先确定的答案不允许考生的认识有任何偏差;最后，要对文章中的有关事实和观点进行分析和研究，按照事实发展的逻辑次序，总结出合情合理的结论。

Example 1

If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents. (1999年 Passage 5)

The author implies that the results of

scientific research .

[A] may not be as profitable as they are expected

[B] can be measured in dollars and cents

[C] rely on conformity to a standard pattern

[D] are mostly underestimated by management

原句是个假设条件句，指出“假如科学实验像科学杂志登载的科学报告显示的那样完全按事先的计划去规划和实施，那么，对管理层来说，期待研究能够产生可以用金钱衡量的结果是完全合理的”。此处正话反说，作者的言外之意是，科学实验总有不可预测的现象，产生的结果也难以预测，因此不能肯定有效益。[A]选项“可能不像预料的那样有利可图”才是作者真正想要表达的含义。

Example 2

Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics, especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to this educational advantage. As a member of a British commission visiting here in 1853 reported, “With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American boy develops rapidly into the skilled workman.”(1996年 Passage 4 )
