一、与句型相关的态度命题
态度也就是评价。态度之中以作者的态度尤为值得关注，因为它反映了作者对事物的评价是子以肯定还是否定。这些评价决定了这些事物存在的价值和意义。
作者通常通过副词状语或者形容词定语来表述态度，由于这些表述一般都比较隐蔽，不经过反复练习和强化很难形成挖掘它们的习惯。因此，在初期进行阅读练习的时候，读者可以试着圈出那些能表述作者褒贬态度的词汇，时间久了，就能形成关注它们的习惯了。
能表明态度的特征词通常有：
1)有感情色彩的形容词
2)一些副词：fortunately，unfortunately，merely，only，unhappily，falsely，...
3)有感情色彩的动词：mislead，overestimate，fail to，oversimplify，be blind to，limit...
4)一些固定名词：limitation，misconception，omission，shortcoming...
下面我们看一些表达态度的例句，来体会一下表达态度的特征词在句子中的应用：
例1: It would be wonderful to observe a singularity and obtain direct evidence of the undoubtedly phenomena that occur near one. Unfortunately in most cases a distant observer cannot see the singularity.
例2: Detailed understanding of this phenomenon awaits further study.
例3: But the differences, however small, are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water-vapor content.
例4: The correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature throughout the Vostok record is consistent and predictable.
例5: An intriguing aspect of this development was discovered by Victor Emmel.
ong indications that the variation is adaptive, a response to environmental differences.
二、与文章结构相关的态度题
l 在强肯定后的转折关系是命态度题的重点

例1：
Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage (不足), hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example.
At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.
The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.
Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized (分散的) nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.
Beth Israel's nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.
1. The author's attitude towards the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital is __________.
A) negative B) neutral C) critical D) positive
三、解题技巧
1.干扰项特点：
(1) 张冠李戴：别人的观点与作者的观点相混，两个事物相混;
(2) 此类题型中的中性词(如indifferent，ambivalent，neutral，humor，disinterested，impassive)一般均为干扰项。由于近几年文章都是反映与社会联系紧密的，多为人们所担心的现象，故作者对这些社会现象持批评或支持态度的较多。
2. 正确选项的特点：
(1) 态度推断题，需注意行文中有无一定感情色彩的词。这种题的答案一般多为褒义词。
(2) 如问对行文中提到的人们的观点态度，答案多为肯定或否定，绝对不会是中性。
(3) 如文章开头提出一种现象，加以论述，作者的观点多为支持。如开始是问句，答案往往是肯定的。
(4) 尤其注意行文中出现的claimed as，suppose，perceive as，considered as，ranked as等词，这些词往往与作者的观点态度相反。
