推理判断题干扰选项的特征
(1)曲解文意:即推测意义与文章表层意义有区别,推理判断题中有些选项来自文章中的某一句或某几句话,命题者可能会利用里面的字词设计出干扰项,看似表达文章的意思,其实是借题发挥,是对原文意思的曲解。
(2)张冠李戴:为了起到干扰的效果,高考命题人常用的一个手段就是张冠李戴,即通过使用原文中出现的词汇甚至句式,把本来适用于一种情况的内容移用到其他情况。
(3)颠倒是非:干扰项的内容常涉及原文中提及的一些内容或现象,但选项的意思却与原文恰恰相反。
(4)无中生有:这种类型的干扰项往往是基本的生活常识或普遍认可的观点,但在文章中并无相关的信息支撑点。另外,这种干扰项也有可能与设置的问题毫不相干。
文章第2小题属于推理判断题型中的细节推断:
2. What can you enjoy as a Princeton University student?
A. Free undergraduate education.
B. Free membership of sports clubs.
C. Access to rare books and databases.
D. The quickest way to show the talents.
分析:首先,根据题干可以确定此题为推理判断题。根据每个选项的关键词定位回到原文,再与四个选项进行一一比对:
A项为颠倒是非:由文章第四段Aid program 部分,研究生课程是需要付费的,条件合格者可以申请援助的。A项Free undergraduate education与其表述相反。
B项无中生有:文章并未提及免费的运动俱乐部。
C项为合理判断:根据文章 第三段Library部分中的第2句,第3句The library’s collections include more than8 million books and impressive rare books, prints and other material that require special handling. The library’s extensive electronic resources include databases and journals, images and digital maps.(该图书馆的馆藏包括800多万册图书以及令人印象深刻的珍本书籍、印刷品和其他需要特殊处理的材料。图书馆广泛的电子资源包括数据库和期刊。图像和数字地图。) 可知作为普林斯顿大学的学生可以有就会了解到很多珍贵书籍。
D项为曲解文意:由文章第二段Campus life activities are built around the concepts of encouraging each community member to display his or her talents and to learn to respect all members of our community. 校园生活活动的理念是鼓励每个社区成员展示自己的才能,并学会尊重我们社区的所有成员。可知,展示才能是校园活动的理念目的,并非D项The quickest way to show the talents。
