大學英語四級閲讀態度題答題技巧

轉眼2016下半年的英語四級考試就要到了，對於四級閲讀中的態度題應該怎樣應對呢?以下是yjbys網小編整理的關於大學英語四級閲讀態度題答題技巧，供大家參考。

　1、態度題表現形式

態度題一般提問方式是：The author’s attitude towards ┄ is _____. 或者是What is the author’s attitude towards _______?

　2、態度題解題方法

從原則上來講，態度題可以考查作者對一箇中心話題的看法，也可以考查作者對某一具體細節的態度，但是從歷年考法來看，四級閲讀更加註重考查文章中心話題。所以，態度題經常可以通過文章主題來判斷作者的態度。如：

原文首句：It’s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them.

題目：The author’s attitude towards the judge’s ruling could be described as______.

A) doubtful B) critical C) cautious D) supportive

全文首句可以體現文章討論的.中心話題，它明確道出了作者的觀點：有時小孩與養父母在一起比與親生父母在一起更好。而原文中judge’s ruling的結果就是把小孩判給了養父，所以作者一定會持支持態度，故選D。

　3、態度題注意點

考生應該熟練掌握在態度題中經常出現的單詞，如positive, negative, optimistic, pessimistic, approving, concerned, objective, compromise等。另外，從以前四級考試的情況來看，作者的態度一般是或褒或貶，或樂觀或擔憂，中性評價為正確答案的較少。

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意測驗) sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.

It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.

Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods are not necessarily happier adults.

The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
