這樣的題目在段落推理中很是常見,再如:
47. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.
[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoë Zysman.
[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.
[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.
Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zoë Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush's predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chrétien and Koizumi). The world's three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world's five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).
這三個段落中,第一段是結(jié)論,而二三段是論據(jù)。
A、B、C選項且不去討論其表述正確與否,只需從In both East and West,Zoë Zysman,companies' names這樣的字詞中即可判定出其源自論據(jù)的出生,他們一開始就注定了不能成為正確答案的宿命,無需步步驚心。
段落性的推理題在按照常規(guī)的解題思路完成后醫(yī)學(xué).全在線zxtf.net.cn,和主題相關(guān)選項大于和細(xì)節(jié)相關(guān)的選項,和結(jié)論相關(guān)的選項大于和論據(jù)相關(guān)的選項。這就是又一考研的特色。因此在解題的過程中一定要關(guān)注觀點(diǎn)和結(jié)論,和觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)相關(guān)的動詞在必殺技一中已經(jīng)列出。

From the first two paragraphs, we learn that_________.
[A]the townsfolk deny the RSC‘s contribution to the town’s revenue
[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage
[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms
[D] the townsfolk earn little from tourism
答案為A選項,解題思路就是第一段是事實(shí)的論述,而第二段第一句就出現(xiàn)了觀點(diǎn),對應(yīng)A選項。

We may infer from the second paragraph that____________.
[A] DNA technology has been widely applied to history research
[B] in its early days the U.S. was confronted with delicate situations
[C] historians deliberately made up some stories of Jefferson’s life
[D] political compromises are easily found throughout the U.S. history
答案為B選項,正是對應(yīng)于歷史學(xué)家們著作中的結(jié)論,而其他幾個選項都是從論據(jù)入手的,且是錯誤的表述。
