【正文】 mericans are working part time throughout the year, even though they would prefer fulltime jobs. It is not just because of the recession （經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退）. Economists cite a broader, longerterm shift toward parttime work as employers cut expenses and more precisely match staffing with ups and downs of customer demand. The number of parttimers who really want fulltime positions—socalled involuntary parttime employees—has risen from million in January to million last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The total has hung at million to 9 million since early 2009 —double the prerecession level. By contrast, the total of unemployed Americans has stayed flat at about million this year and is down from about 15 million in late 2009 as employers had added 2 million or so jobs. The gap shows how the nation’s official 9% jobless rate doesn’t fully reflect the effect caused by a halfspeed economic recovery. 8. In America, “Black Friday” usually marks the beginning of ______. A. 24hour work shifts B. Thanksgiving dinner C. Christmas celebrations D. a holiday shopping season 解析：D。由關(guān)鍵詞Black Friday定位到原文第四段的第一句話，Black Friday后面的同位語(yǔ)正好是對(duì)其意思的解釋說(shuō)明：黑色星期五是假期購(gòu)物熱的開(kāi)始，故D正確。(五) 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題閱讀理解中的題目有的時(shí)候會(huì)問(wèn)及作者對(duì)于某一事件或者某一問(wèn)題的觀點(diǎn)或者態(tài)度是什么，以及作者對(duì)文章繼續(xù)展開(kāi)的內(nèi)容判斷等，這樣的題就是觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。解答這種問(wèn)題時(shí)，考生首先應(yīng)請(qǐng)注意篇章中的連詞，這些連詞的運(yùn)用都暗含著作者的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)，從中可以推敲出作者的意圖。然后需要注意有些表明作者觀點(diǎn)的詞匯和語(yǔ)句，考生就可以根據(jù)這些詞匯和語(yǔ)句的情感來(lái)判斷作者的態(tài)度?？傮w來(lái)講，觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的題比較難，對(duì)于這類問(wèn)題的回答，考生應(yīng)從篇章的體裁和風(fēng)格入手，再?gòu)奈恼碌恼撌龇椒?、語(yǔ)氣和措辭中把握作者對(duì)事物的喜好，從而了解作者的情感與態(tài)度。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題常見(jiàn)設(shè)問(wèn)方式 What’s the tone of the passage?Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward…?How does the author feel about…?What’s the author’s opinion of/ about …?What is the author’s overall attitude towards …?What does the author think of…?Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?The author seems to be in favor of the idea of ________.The author probably feels that ________.The author’s attitude towards …might be best summarized as ________.In the writer’s opinion, ________.According to the author, ________.The author of the passage seems to be ________.The tone of the author is ________.態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題的解題技巧(1) 對(duì)于態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題的解答，把握文章的體裁非常重要。如果文章是說(shuō)明性文章，介紹某一事物或者是說(shuō)明某一現(xiàn)象，由于說(shuō)明文本身的客觀性，通常情況下作者所持的態(tài)度會(huì)是中立的。如果是記敘文的話，作者的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度不會(huì)很明顯的顯示出來(lái)，但是會(huì)暗含于陳述的語(yǔ)句之中，這就要求考生好好推敲某些詞匯的情感，找出那些渲染氣氛和表現(xiàn)情感的語(yǔ)句。(2) 注重表示觀點(diǎn)或者態(tài)度的引導(dǎo)詞，例如：in my point, as far as I am concerned, in my opinion, I think/ suppose/ argue/ believe/ claim等。它們后面所接的語(yǔ)句會(huì)是作者的觀點(diǎn)，切忌注意。(3) 注意轉(zhuǎn)折和對(duì)比的地方，也會(huì)是作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的表現(xiàn)。轉(zhuǎn)折或者對(duì)比處，也就是作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的地方，此處會(huì)反應(yīng)作者的情感和傾向，考試的題目依據(jù)通常就會(huì)出現(xiàn)在此處。(4) 掌握和熟悉一些表示觀點(diǎn)的詞匯和短語(yǔ)，例：A. 表示贊同的positive , 實(shí)際的, 積極的, 確實(shí)的 favorable , 有利的, 贊許的, 良好的 approval n. 贊成, 承認(rèn), 正式批準(zhǔn) enthusiasm , 熱心, 積極性 supportive ，支援的 defensive adj. 為……而辯護(hù) B. 表示否定的negative , 消極的, 負(fù)的, 陰性的 disapproval objection opposition critical criticism n批評(píng)批判 disgust , warning adj. 警告的detestation , 厭惡的人, 嫌惡 indignation contempt , 輕蔑, 恥辱, 不尊敬 promising , , 折衷 worried ,焦慮的 C. 表示懷疑的suspicion , 懷疑 suspicious adj.(～ of) 可疑的, 懷疑的 doubt doubtful , 不確的, 疑心的 question v. 質(zhì)疑puzzling , 使莫明其妙的 D. 表示客觀的objective neutral impartial , 不偏不倚的 disinterested imprejudiced unbiased unprejudiced , 無(wú)偏見(jiàn)的, 沒(méi)有成見(jiàn)的 detached E. 表示主觀的subjective , 個(gè)人的 indifference tolerance ，容忍，忍受 pessimism , 悲觀主義 gloomy , 陰沉的, 令人沮喪的, 陰郁的 optimistic sensitive , 敏感[銳]的,易受傷害的 scared reserved , 包租的 consent , 贊成, , 贊成, 允諾 radical moderate , 適度的, mild , 溫柔的, 淡味的, 輕微的, 適度的 ironic , 諷刺的 confused , 煩惱的 amazed , 驚奇的 concerned , 有關(guān)的 apprehensive ，擔(dān)心 mixed biased indignant , 憤慨的 F. 表示積極的objective concerned confident , 確信的 interested , 有成見(jiàn)的, 有權(quán)益的 optimistic positive impressive , 感人的 G. 表示中立的impartial , 不偏不倚的 neutral impersonal factual , 實(shí)際的,根據(jù)事實(shí)的 detached H. 表示消極的negative indifferent depressed subjective pessimistic unconcerned contemptuous , 侮辱的 hostile , 敵方的 biased For example:2012年浙江省專升本閱讀試題Passage One中第5題：5. What is the writer’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Indifferent. B. Tolerant. C. Negative. D. Supportive.解析：C。由文章的最后一段的最后一句：Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power. 可知，權(quán)衡過(guò)后可看出，除了核能源以外還有其他資源有利于經(jīng)濟(jì)和生態(tài)。故知，對(duì)核能源的態(tài)度并不樂(lè)觀。
