从篇章体裁入手解观点态度题
第5题本质上考查的是作者的观点态度。解答此类题可以从篇章的体裁着手。一般来说,说明文体裁客观,所以作者的态度通常是客观的或中立的;议论文中作者往往会在文章主旨句中表明其观点或态度;在描述性文章中,作者的观点一般不直接提出,而是在写作时会带有某种倾向,读文时应注意捕捉表达或暗示其情感态度的词、短语或句子。本文为论说文,作者的观点体现在文中最后一句:要心存质疑,不要全盘相信读到或听到的事。根据该句的意思,再结合选项中所给谚语的具体含义,即可推知答案。
(二)阅读表达
1.What is your opinion about the statement “ ...we should not always believe everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story”?
Sometimes_a_really_great_story_may_not_be_true,_and_we_need_to_have_critical_thinking.
2.What qualities do you think a great scientist should have?
I think a great scientist should be patient, serious, brave, careful, creative and imaginative.
3.In what ways do scientists contribute to society?
Firstly,_scientific_discoveries_promote_the_development_of_our_society.Secondly,_the_contributions_of_scientists_in_medicine_extend_our_life_span.Thirdly,_scientists_have_invented_a_lot_of_surprising_tools_that_fundamentally_improve_our_living_standards.

本文是一篇论说文。论说文一般由提出问题(引论)、分析问题(本论)以及解决问题(结论)三部分组成。本文框架为:
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Benjamin Franklin's famous experiment with lightning has introduced generations of children to science.
赏析:introduce一词精准表达了“引领儿童迈入科学世界”的含义,introduce此处表示“使初次了解;使尝试”,常用于introduce ...to ...结构中,表示“使……了解……”。
2.More than one generation of schoolchildren has been amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the truth.
赏析:amazed一词完美地诠释了学生对富兰克林的勇气及其追寻真理时采用的科学手段的叹服。
3.But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.
赏析:本句中的all, actually, certainly都起到了加强语气的作用,增加了表达的说服力
[提能训练|完成句子]
①The first lecture introduces_students_to the main topics of the course.
第一堂课是让学生了解这门课的主要内容。
②Sometimes, her mother was_amazed_by Lily's musical talent.
有时,她的母亲对莉莉的音乐天赋感到惊讶。
③Certainly,_we_all_have_met many different people and experienced some helpless moments, but we still put our trust in this beautiful world.
当然,我们都遇到过许多不同的人,也经历过一些无助的时刻,但我们仍然相信这个美丽的世界。
(二)赏句式之高
1.However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact.
赏析:此处的 research suggests that ...“研究表明”,是表达观点、得出结论的常用句式,类似的还有The survey/research/study shows/indicates/suggests/reveals that ...。
2.However, neither the story nor the details of the experiment are entirely true.
赏析:本句中neither ...nor ...与entirely搭配,严谨地表达了不管是故事本身还是实验细节都并非完全属实。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①But_new_research_suggests_that these activities may not be so great for the animals.
但一项新的研究表明,这类的活动对这些动物们并没有那么好。
②I can give you neither_an_opinion_nor_any_advice.
我既不能给你意见,也不能提供任何建议。
(三)赏描摹之韵(动作描写)
He raised the kite with a piece of string tied to it. A metal key was attached to the string. A flash of lightning hit the kite, and electricity was conducted through the string to the key. Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock.
赏析:由动词(短语) raised, tied, was attached to, hit, was conducted through,touched,got构成的动作链简洁生动地描述了闪电实验的完整过程,形成了一幅连贯流畅的动态画面,令读者犹如亲见。
(四)赏衔接之顺
Admittedly, fiction is often more interesting than the truth. People have been more inspired by Franklin's spirit of scientific exploration than by the facts themselves. But in science, facts should be proved by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story.
赏析:本段是文章的尾段,段首先用Admittedly衔接上文内容,然后用两个由more ...than引导的句式由抽象到具体地解释了虚构常常比事实更为有趣,接着用连词But和and引出本文的论点,even if引出进一步的诠释,自然顺畅地点明主题、收束全文。
