XXXX年MBA英语预测第5天-作者态度和因果关系考点

太奇学校曹书畅MBA七、Attitudes态度题主要考查的是态度的表达分为积极，消极，中立。做题时要关注段落的尾部或文章的尾段，因为作者的态度总是在最后体现出来。另外，态度题中的中立态度不好表达，一般是当文章中说了很多人的态度，但是唯独没有体现作者的态度的时候，就是中立。积极态度考点：optimistic,positive,supportive,active,efficient,effective,rewarding,successful,enthusiastic,sympatric;消极态度考点：passive,negative,inefficient,ineffective,critical,critical,skeptical(怀疑),fruitless,harmful,biased,confused(迷惑),panicked(惊慌),unpleasant,apprehensive(忧虑)中立态度考点：objective,neutral,unbiased,impartial,detached,reservedconsent(有保留)不能选择的考点：indifferent(漠不关心),compromising（妥协）;以2006年-2010年MBA英语真题为例：1.Throughexperimentsandobservation,socialscientistslikeDr.Berninghavelearnedthatthereispowerintyingcertainbehaviorstohabitualcuesthroughrelentlessadvertising.Asthisnewscienceofhabithasemerged,controversieshaveeruptedwhenthetacticshavebeenusedtosellquestionablebeautycreamsorunhealthyfoods.【点评】选项B表示“消极”和原文中的“有问题；不健康”的表达一致。2.Forbusyadultsofcoursethatcanbetough,Thegoodnewsisthatverytechnologythat’sreducingsomanyjobsisamakingiteasiertogobacktoschoolwithouthavingtositinaclassroom.Socalledinternetdistancelearningishot,withmorethanthreemillionstudentscurrentlyenrolled,andit’sgainingcredibilitywithemployers.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowardscomputers?ApositiveBnegativeCneutralDprejudiced【点评】选项A表示“积极”和原文的内容“好的消息；更加容易”内容一致。3.Iurgedbelievingtheembarrassmentwouldgethimtosettledown,Mrs.Stiftersaid,Idon’tmoveseniors.Ithink(使…不及格)them.”Ourson’sacademiclifeflashedbeforemyeyes.Noteacherhadeverthreatenedhim.BythetimeIgothomeIwasfeelingprettygoodthis.Itwasaradicalapproachforthesetimes,butwell.Whynot?She’sgoingtoflunkyou,Itoldmyson.1太奇学校曹书畅MBA’attitudetowardflunkingisAnegativeBpositiveCbiasedDindifferent【点评】选项B表示“积极”和原文的内容“这个很好；为什么不这样做”一致。4.America’shealthsystemisunlikeanyother.TheUniteStatesspends16%ofitsGDPonhealth,aroundtwicetherich-countryaverage,equivalentto$6,280foreveryAmericaneachyear.Yetitistheonlyrichcountrythatdoesnotguaranteeuniversalhealthcoverage.Thankstoanaccidentofhistory,mostAmericansreceivehealthinsurancethroughtheiremployer,withthegovernmentpickingupthebillforthepoorandtheelderly.’sopinion,America’shealthsystemis_________.A.inefficientB.feasibleC.unpopularD.successful【点评】选项A表示“没有效率”和原文的内容“美国是世界上唯一的富有国家不能保证全民的医疗保障”一致。5.Someareskeptical.SteveMalangaoftheconservativeManhattanInstitutenotesthatNewarkhasdeepsocialproblems:over60%ofchildrenareinhomeswithoutfathers.Theschoolsystem,takenoverbythestatein1995,isamess.Butthereisalsosomecauseforhope.SinceMr.Bookerwaselected,therehasbeenariseininvestmentandre-zoningfordevelopment.Onlyaround7%ofnearbyNewarkairportworkersusedtocomefromNewark;now,ayear,thefigureis30%.MrBookerhaslaunchedaNewYork-stylewaroncrime.Sofarthisyear,crimehasfallen11%andshootingsaredown30%(throughthemurderratelookslikelytomatchlastyear’shigh).MayorBooker’seffortagainstcrimeseemtobe______A.idealisticB.impracticalC.effectiveD.fruitless【点评】选项C表示“有作用”和原文的内容“投资增长并且重新规划发展；犯罪下降11%和枪杀减少30%”内容一致。6.Nowthereisasimilarchallenge.Globalwarming.Thesteadydeterioration(恶化)oftheveryclimateofthisveryplanetisbecomingawarofthefirstorder,andbyanymeasure,theU.S.producesnearlyaquarteroftheworld'sgreenhousegaseseachyearandhasstubbornlymadeitclearthatitdoesn'tintendtodoawholelotaboutit.Although174nationsapprovedtheadmittedlyflawedKyotoaccordstoreducecarbonlevels,theU.S.walkedawayfromthem.Therearevaguepromisesofmanufacturingfuelfromherbsorpoweringcarswithhydrogen.Butforacountrythattightlycitespatriotismasoneofitscorevalues,theU.S.istakingapassonwhatmightbethemostpatrioticstruggleofall.It'shardtoimagineabiggerfightthanoneforthesurvivalofacountry'scoastsandfarms,thehealthofitspeopleandstabilityofitseconomy.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardAmerica'spoliciesonglobalwarming?2太奇学校曹书畅MBA【点评】选项A表达“批评”和原文的内容“美国没有签订东京议定书；忽略了最能体现爱国精神的一次机会”一致。态度考点预测练习【附加解析】1.Morethananything,thehistorianssay,thefounderswerehamperedbythecultureoftheirtime.WhileWashingtonandJeffersonprivatelyexpresseddistasteforslavery,theyalsounderstoodthatitwaspartofthepoliticalandeconomicbedrockofthecountrytheyhelpedtocreate.WhatdowelearnaboutThomasJefferson?[A]Hispoliticalviewchangedhisattitudetowardsslavery.[B]Hisstatusasafathermadehimfreethechildslaves.[C]Hisattitudetowardsslaverywascomplex.[D]Hisaffairwithaslavestainedhisprestige.【点评】选项C表示“态度复杂”和原文的内容“既憎恨奴隶制度但也认为它是一个国家的基石”一致，表示复杂的态度。2.Suchstandardizedtestsmaynotassessalltheimportantelementsnecessarytosucceedinschoolandinlife,arguesRobertJ.Sternberg.Inhisarticle“HowIntelligentIsIntelligenceTesting?”,Sternbergnotesthattraditionaltestbestassessanalyticalandverbalskillsbutfailtomeasurecreativityandpracticalknowledge,componentsalsocriticaltoproblemsolvingandlifesuccess.
