推理判断题——根据文章体裁和内容推断文章出处
判断文章出处的题目应从文章的体裁和内容来着手。一般来说，报纸上的新闻前面会出现日期、地点或通讯社名称等；广告类文章因其格式特殊，容易辨认；产品说明类文章如器皿、设备的使用说明会有产品名称或操作方式，而药品的服用说明会告知服用时间、次数、药量等；来自网络的文章一般比较新颖，时效性强。
[例题剖析]Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries，strawberries are highest in vitamin C，although，because of their seeds，raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质)，iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein)．Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质)．The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries (樱桃)，they are so delicious who cares However，they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits，frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick，cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”．For this purpose，select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze.If you like，a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks，depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer，you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit.Out comes a “soft serve”creamy dessert，to be eaten right away.This makes a fun activity for a children's party；they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below. 解题技巧：推理判断题的解题技巧要牢记以下原则：(1)忠实原文原则：严格按照阅读材料中所提供的信息进行推理，千万不要掺杂自己的主观想法或经验。(2)深层推断原则：如果某选项中的内容是阅读材料的简单重复，那它就不是推论，也就不是正确答案。(3)全面分析原则：如果某个选项表达的内容虽在文中提到，但很片面或很不完整，那也不是正确答案。

[答案] B
[即学即练]
请快速确定下面这段文字的文章出处推理判断题：
When I was a child growing up in Ohio，the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico.And it was awesome to see football fields full of them—and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale.I knew I had to go to see the migration(迁徙) in Mexico.
But I was on a budget.I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo，the starting point for most butterfly adventures，so I called the guys at The Muddy Boot，travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate.
And so，on January 2，I found myself in The Muddy Boot van(面包车)，being driven for two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo，a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys.I booked a two night stay at the Hotel Rodavento，an all eco friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spreading throughout the forest and around a lake.
The first sanctuary(保护区) I visited was Piedra Herrada，a popular destination，as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo.The climb up is tiring.It is advisable to hire a horse.But the horse cannot take you all the way，and there is some hiking in thin air，so you must be patient，drink a lot of water，and be in reasonably good shape.
The walk is more than worth it though.As I struggled to catch my breath，I looked up and lost my breath again.At first glance，the trees had turned into different shapes，but on closer inspection，every inch of them was covered with butterflies.
A few flew through the air (Most of them were not warm enough)．As the sun rose，they began to come alive.Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies，transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale.

推理判断之细节推断题
细节推断题要求考生根据语篇内容，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息，或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。考生只有正确把握文章的内在关系，理解文章的真正含义，才可能作出准确的推断。一般题干主要包括六个动词：infer(推断)，indicate(象征，暗示)，imply(暗示)，suggest(暗示)，conclude(得出结论)和assume(假定，设想)。
该类型的命题方式常常以下列形式呈现：
1．It can be inferred/concluded from the text that ．
2．What can we infer/learn from...
3．We can learn from the passage that ．
4．The passage/story...indicates/suggests/implies that ．
[例题剖析]
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter gatherers，small，tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them. 解题技巧——关键词句细推敲第一步：定位细节——根据题干提供的信息，抓住某一段话的关键信息(关键词语)。第二步：揣摩细节——对原文中的信息进行分析，推理判断，利用逆向思维和正向推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。注意：1.切勿拿文章中的某一个细节内容作为推理的结论。2.切勿脱离原文而凭个人看法主观臆断。
※ What can we infer about languages in hunter gatherer times
A．They developed very fast.
B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patterns.
