Unit 5The power of nature推理判断题之预测文章后续内容题(阅读理解)方法指导 这类题要求考生预测作者接着要讲什么内容。提问方式有:(1)In the next part, the author will most probably discuss .(2)What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? (3)What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?做这类题时应把握作者的写作思路,如文章可能按事件发展的经过描写,也可能按因果关系、对比关系来叙述,从而做出比较科学的、合情合理的预测。 此外,要把握文章主旨,分析框架结构,注意最后一段的内容,特别留意最后几句话。典例引领 (2015湖北,E)Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑)to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科).Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate,way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the readers attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development,and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to.A.illustrate where science can be appliedB.demonstrate the value of Brookss new bookC.remind the reader of the importance of scienceD.explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author,which of the following could be a strength of the book?A.Its strong basis.B.Its convincing points.C.Its clear writing.D.Its memorable characters.3.What is the authors general attitude towards the book?A.Contradictory. B.Supportive.C.Cautious. D.Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A.Problems with the book.B.Brookss life experiences.C.Death of the characters.D.Brookss translation skills.方法运用 语篇解读本文为议论文,题材为社会科学类。科学的用处很多,这吸引了很多人用科学去解释问题,但实际上有些问题是无法用科学解释的。Brooks在他最近的一本书中就用科学来解释了一个本不属于科学范畴的故事。1.D推理判断题。根据第一段中“Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑)to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.”可以得知,科学用处巨大,所以吸引人们用科学去解释一些问题。Brooks和众多作家一样,也没能经得起科学的诱惑。因而作者在文章开头提到科学的作用,就是为了说明众多作家在作品中引入科学的原因。2.C推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.”可以看出,这本书的优点是通俗易懂,有些章节异常出色。3.D观点态度题。概括全文可知,Brooks在自己书中极力用科学去解释本不属于科学范畴的问题,这对问题解决是没有什么帮助的,因此作者对这本书是持批评态度的。4.A推理判断题。文章末尾指出,这本书中存在很多严重的问题,有些问题是Brooks企图用科学去解释他所写的故事。由此可推断出,接下来文章可能要讲到这本书中存在的一些问题,A项符合文章内容。
