3、引用人物论断处常考 作者为了正确表达出自己观点或使论点更有依据，常常引用某名人的论断或重要发现等。命题者常在此作文章。多以"推理性"题为主，有时也出"细节事实性"题型。 例1."There is a senseless notion that children grew up and leave home when they re 18, and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpers of the University of Wisconsin…. Q: There was apparently a trend in the USA ________ . (A) for young adults to leave their parents and live independently. (B) For middle class young adults to stay with their parents. (C) For married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence. (D) For going adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents. (分析：选A项。属推理题。作者引用的这句话意思是："孩子长到18岁时应离开父母去独立生活的概念是没有道理的，而事实情况也并非如此。"而题干问：过去在美国显然有一种什么趋势。考生通过细心推断引文，便能选中A项：年轻的成年人应该离开父母而去独立生活。) 例2.…"people cheat on their sleep, and they don t even realize they re doing it,"says Dr.David."They think they re okay because they can get by on 6.5 howler, when they really need 7.5 , eight or even more to feel ideally rigorous."(见《分册》P12页例3) Q: According to Dr. David, Americans ________. (A) are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life. (B) Often neglect the consequences of sleep deficit. (C) Do not know how to relax themselves properly. (D) Can get by on 6.5 hoarse of sleep. (分析：选B项。属于归纳事实细节题。Dr.David所说的话，描述的是一种事实现象，即美国人睡眠不足而误认为这不是什么大的事，还自我感觉良好。从事实中我们可以看出美国人经常忽视睡眠不足的后果，即B项的内容。) 例3. By the millions they are coming-no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We don t have a budget,"says a biologist from Brazil. As she walks with two companions through New York lity s South Street, "We juse use our credit cards." Q：From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourist like her ____ . (A) are reluctant to carry cash with them. (B) Simply don t care how much they spend. (C) Are not good at planning their expenditure. (D) Often spend more money that they can afford. (分析：选B项。属判断推理题。文章讲成千上万涌进美国的富有者与那个巴西生物学家一样，他们在购物时只管刷卡?quot.just use our credit cards.")而根本不做预算("don t have a hudget"),可推断出他们这类人是"根本不管花多少钱的。"即B项内容。)
