36.AccordingtoParagraph1,whatistheauthor,s

attitudetowardtheAAAS'sreport?

[A]Critical

[B]Appreciative

[C]Contemptuous

[D]Tolerant

本篇文章選自華爾街日報。主要講的是非自由教育以及”問題核

心”這個報告。

答案解析：

36.選A,該題是細節態度題。并非考察全文的態度，也就是說

要細節定位。依據題干定位原則，定位第一段AAAS消失之處，并且

肯定要找到表示評價的部分。該題迷惑性很強，由于文章在AAAS后

面就又"praise”所以簡單誤導大家選擇答案B"appreciative（觀

賞的）”，但是我們應當看到有however,我們知道假如第一段消失

轉折，那此轉折肯定跟主旨有關。同時各個題都與主旨相關，所以這

第14頁/共17頁

道題應當于主旨相關，后文中的^maycausemoreharmthangood.

讓我們知道它的還多余利，所以答案選擇A,批判性的。

[A]retainpeople'sinterestinliberaleducation

[B]definethegovernmentJsroleineducation

[C]keepaleadingpositioninliberaleducation

[D]safeguardindividualsrightstoeducation

37,選C,細節題。依據自然段定位原則，36題在第一段出題,

38題在第三段出題，那37題在其次段出題的可能性就很大。同時題

干定位“InfluentialfiguresintheCongressw與“leading

案是askingthatitidentifyactionsthatcouldbetakenby
