6. 观点态度题:问说话者对某事或者某话题的看法和观点。
对话中经常涉及到一方对另一方或某一事件、观点、言论、行为的态度和反应,或赞成或反对,或满意或失望,喜怒哀乐等各种情绪。此类题目的解题方法有:
a. 语音语调。英语中,语调主要有升调、降调两种,另外还有升降调和降升调。不同的语调表达不同的含义。例如,陈述句用升调表示说话者抱有迟疑、犹豫的态度;用降调表示肯定。反意疑问句如果反意部分是降调,就表示肯定,希望得到赞同或支持;反之,则表示征求对方的意见或不耐烦。
b. 提示词和关键词。考生可以根据一些提示性的语言或一些相关的词语进行判断,如 I think...; It seems to me that...; As far as I'm concerned, I could say...; It is/sounds true that...同时还要注意表示否定、转折和虚拟等含义的指示词。如,I'd be sacked if I accepted your offer.所表达的是拒绝。
c. 从字里行间判断。录音材料的内容、材料中不会直接说明态度,但在字里行间会有渗透,考生在听懂对话的基础上,依据语气,充分理解其言外之意和所反映出来的态度。
常见的就语气而提问的问题有:
What is the man's/woman's attitude toward the conversation?
How does the man/woman feel?
The man's/woman's feeling toward the subject can be best described as...?
Who are the speakers?
What is the relationship between the two speakers?
Who is the woman/man speaking to?
