导学思路 (仅供教师参考)
观点态度题答题技巧
(1)根据文章主题句来判断。文章的中心思想与作者的观点态度是密切相关的, 而文章的主题句又反映了文章的中心思想, 因此, 可通过文章的主题句来判断作者的观点态度。
(2)注意不要以个人的好恶来判定作者的态度, 要学会分清作者本人的态度和作者引用观点的态度。
(3)要学会根据作者语言的褒贬去判断作者的态度,注意句中带有感彩的词。
(4)作者的态度常常在转折词后表明出来, 所以见到but就要提高警惕(还有类似的yet、 however、 although、 nevertheless等)。
(5)还可以通过作者所举的例子来判断作者的态度。作者论证某观点时, 给的例子是正面的, 就可以判断作者的态度是积极的; 如果作者的论述有好有坏, 举例有正面有反面, 基本可以判断作者的态度是客观的。
