这类试题的题干中常有the writers attitude toward(s), The author thought /think(s), According to the author, What does the author think about等。 作者的态度、倾向是指作者对陈述的观点是赞同、 反对还是犹豫不定， 对记叙或描写的人、物或事件等是赞颂、同情、冷漠还是厌恶、憎恨。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的字里行间，或流露于修饰的词语之中。,推断作者的观点态度,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、副词、动词及所举的例子，推断出作者的弦外之音。干扰项具有三个特点： (1)可能是考生自己的某种观点。(易误选) (2)社会普遍的一种倾向， 但文中没有信息支持。 (3)与本文无关或与作者相反的观点等。 此外，还要注意区分作者态度或观点与引用的别人的态度或观点。,阅读下列短文的节选，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 1.
