二、知识点讲解
2.1 观点态度题的定义与考查要求

2.3 考研英语常见态度词汇分类
正面态度(Positive):
| 态度词 | 含义 | 强度 |
|---|---|---|
| supportive / approving | 支持的/赞同的 | 强正面 |
| optimistic | 乐观的 | 中正面 |
| sympathetic | 同情的/赞同的 | 中正面 |
| favorable | 赞成的 | 中正面 |
| enthusiastic | 热情的 | 强正面 |
| complimentary | 赞美的 | 中正面 |
负面态度(Negative):
| 态度词 | 含义 | 强度 |
|---|---|---|
| critical | 批评的 | 中负面 |
| skeptical / doubtful | 怀疑的 | 中负面 |
| disapproving | 不赞成的 | 中负面 |
| pessimistic | 悲观的 | 中负面 |
| contemptuous | 蔑视的 | 强负面 |
| hostile | 敌对的 | 强负面 |
| indifferent | 冷漠的 | 中性偏负 |
中性/客观态度(Neutral):
| 态度词 | 含义 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|
| objective / impartial | 客观的/公正的 | 不偏不倚 |
| neutral | 中立的 | 无明显倾向 |
| ambiguous | 模棱两可的 | 态度不明确 |
| cautious / reserved | 谨慎的/保留的 | 有保留地接受 |
2.4 态度判断的核心方法
方法一:形容词/副词捕捉法
作者的态度往往通过修饰性词语(adjectives & adverbs)直接表达。阅读时特别关注:
- 对事物的描述性形容词(如"a promising approach"vs"a misguided policy")
- 评价性副词(如"unfortunately", "significantly", "surprisingly")
- 情态动词(如"must", "should"表强烈态度;"may", "might"表谨慎态度)
方法二:转折词后态度定位法
作者经常先引述他人观点,再通过转折词表达自己的真实态度:
- "While X argues that..., I believe..." → 作者态度在转折后
- "It is often assumed that..., but..." → 作者对"often assumed"持否定态度
方法三:论证方式推断法
即使作者没有直接表态,其论证方式也能暗示态度:
- 引用支持性数据 → 正面态度
- 使用反问句 → 可能暗示不认同
- 列举反面案例 → 对该事物持批评态度
2.5 考研"不选"态度清单
以下态度在考研英语中几乎不会是正确答案:
| 不选态度 | 原因 |
|---|---|
| indifferent(冷漠的) | 学术文章的作者不会花笔墨写自己不在乎的事 |
| biased(有偏见的) | 作者不会自认有偏见 |
| puzzled / confused(困惑的) | 作者不会承认自己困惑 |
| tolerant(容忍的) | 含义模糊,考研中极少作为正确答案 |
| angry / furious(愤怒的) | 学术文章语气温和,不会出现强烈情绪词 |
2.6 真题长难句拆解示例
真题原句:
While the researchers acknowledge that their sample size was relatively small and that further studies are needed to confirm the findings, they maintain that the observed correlation between screen time and declining sleep quality is too consistent across demographic groups to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
拆解:
- 让步从句:While the researchers acknowledge that...(尽管研究人员承认……)
- 并列that从句:that their sample size was relatively small AND that further studies are needed(样本量较小且需要进一步研究)
- 主句:they maintain that...(他们坚持认为……)
- too...to...结构:too consistent across demographic groups to be dismissed as mere coincidence(在各人口统计群体中过于一致,不能被当作巧合而忽略)
态度分析:通过"acknowledge"(承认局限性)和"maintain"(坚持认为)两个动词,可以推断研究人员对自己的发现持"cautiously confident"(谨慎自信)的态度——他们承认不足,但坚持结论的可靠性。
译文:尽管研究人员承认其样本量相对较小,且需要进一步研究来证实这些发现,但他们坚持认为,所观察到的屏幕时间与睡眠质量下降之间的相关性在各人口统计群体中表现得过于一致,不能被当作巧合而忽略。
三、记忆与理解辅助
技巧1:态度题识别口诀——"attitude, opinion, seem, tone是信号"
看到题干中出现attitude, opinion, seem, tone, feel about等词,即可判定为态度题。
技巧2:态度判断"三看法"
| 看什么 | 怎么看 | 判断什么 |
|---|---|---|
| 看形容词/副词 | 圈出所有评价性修饰词 | 正面/负面/中性 |
| 看转折词 | 找however/but/yet后的内容 | 作者真实态度 |
| 看论证方式 | 是支持还是反驳 | 立场方向 |
技巧3:态度强度判断对照表
| 强度等级 | 典型词汇 | 考研中出现概率 |
|---|---|---|
| 强正面 | enthusiastic, wholeheartedly supportive | 低(学术文章少用强烈词) |
| 中正面 | supportive, favorable, optimistic | 高 |
| 谨慎正面 | cautiously optimistic, cautiously supportive | 高(考研最常见) |
| 中性 | objective, neutral, impartial | 中 |
| 谨慎负面 | skeptical, reserved, unconvinced | 高 |
| 中负面 | critical, disapproving, pessimistic | 高 |
| 强负面 | contemptuous, hostile | 低 |
技巧4:文中人物态度 vs 作者态度区分
| 区分维度 | 文中人物态度 | 作者态度 |
|---|---|---|
| 信号词 | "Critics argue...", "Supporters believe..." | "I believe...", "It seems...", 无引述标记 |
| 位置 | 通常在文章前半部分 | 通常在转折词之后 |
| 判断依据 | 该人物的直接引语或观点描述 | 全文论证方向和最终结论 |
四、例题与精解
例题1(基础巩固)
题干:The author's attitude toward the use of AI in healthcare can best be described as ______.
文章片段:
Artificial intelligence has shown remarkable promise in diagnosing diseases, with some AI systems matching or even exceeding the accuracy of experienced physicians in detecting certain cancers. These developments are undeniably exciting and could significantly improve patient outcomes, particularly in underserved areas with limited access to specialists. However, it would be premature to declare AI a panacea for all healthcare challenges. Issues of algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the potential erosion of the doctor-patient relationship demand careful consideration before widespread adoption. A balanced approach—one that harnesses AI's diagnostic power while preserving human oversight and empathy—seems the most prudent path forward.
选项: A. Enthusiastically supportive, viewing AI as the future of medicine. B. Deeply skeptical, questioning whether AI has any role in healthcare. C. Cautiously optimistic, acknowledging benefits while urging careful implementation. D. Completely indifferent to the debate over AI in healthcare.
命题意图:考查通过语气词和论证结构判断作者态度的能力。
精解:
- 审题分析:题干"attitude toward AI in healthcare"为典型作者态度题。
- 解题思路:捕捉态度信号词→分析论证结构→判断态度方向和强度。
- 完整步骤:
- 正面信号:"remarkable promise"(非凡前景), "undeniably exciting"(不可否认地令人兴奋), "significantly improve"(显著改善)
- 转折信号:"However, it would be premature"(然而,现在说还为时过早)
- 负面信号:"Issues...demand careful consideration"(需要仔细考虑)
- 总结态度:"A balanced approach...seems the most prudent path"(平衡的方式……是最审慎的道路)
- 综合判断:作者承认AI的好处,但也指出风险,主张平衡、审慎地推进
- A选项:"enthusiastically"过于强烈,且忽略了作者的保留态度——过度推断
- B选项:"deeply skeptical"与"remarkable promise""undeniably exciting"矛盾——与原文态度相反
- C选项:"cautiously optimistic"对应正面评价+保留态度+"balanced approach"——精确匹配
- D选项:"completely indifferent"与作者花大量篇幅讨论矛盾——考研从不选indifferent
- 方法反思:态度题的关键在于识别"转折后的综合态度"。本文先正面(promise, exciting)→转折(premature)→平衡(balanced, prudent)。这种"先正后转再综合"的结构对应"cautiously optimistic"或"cautiously supportive"。记住:考研英语中最常见的正确态度就是"谨慎的正面"或"谨慎的负面"。
答案:C
例题2(中等提升)
题干:What is the attitude of the critics mentioned in the passage toward the concept of universal basic income?
文章片段:
Proponents of universal basic income (UBI) argue that it would provide a safety net in an era of increasing automation and job displacement. They cite pilot programs in Finland and Canada as evidence that UBI can reduce poverty without significantly discouraging work. Critics, however, remain unconvinced. They contend that UBI would be prohibitively expensive, potentially inflationary, and could create a culture of dependency. Moreover, they argue that targeted welfare programs, which direct resources to those most in need, are a more efficient use of limited public funds than a universal payment that benefits the wealthy alongside the poor.
选项: A. They are cautiously supportive of UBI with some reservations. B. They are fundamentally opposed, viewing UBI as financially and socially harmful. C. They are ambivalent, seeing both significant advantages and disadvantages. D. They are open to persuasion if more pilot program data becomes available.
命题意图:考查识别文中特定群体态度的能力(非作者态度)。
精解:
- 审题分析:题干问"critics的态度",是文中人物态度题,不是作者态度。关键词:critics, universal basic income。
- 解题思路:定位到critics相关的描述,提取其态度信号词。
- 完整步骤:
- 定位到"Critics, however, remain unconvinced"→"unconvinced"(不信服)=负面态度
- 具体论点:"prohibitively expensive"(费用高得令人望而却步), "potentially inflationary"(可能导致通胀), "culture of dependency"(依赖文化)→全部是负面评价
- 补充论点:"targeted welfare programs...are a more efficient use"→他们认为现有方案更优
- 综合:批评者对UBI持明确的反对态度,认为它在财务和社会层面都有害
- A选项:"cautiously supportive"→与"unconvinced""prohibitively expensive"矛盾——态度方向错误
- B选项:"fundamentally opposed, financially and socially harmful"→精确对应批评者的论点——正确
- C选项:"ambivalent"(矛盾的)→批评者的态度明确反对,不是矛盾——态度强度错误
- D选项:"open to persuasion"→原文没有任何"愿意被说服"的暗示——无中生有
- 方法反思:文中人物态度题要严格区分"人物观点"和"作者观点"。本文中proponents和critics是两个对立群体,作者只是客观呈现双方,没有明显偏向。做题时只关注题目问的那个群体的表述,不要混入其他群体或作者的态度。
答案:B
五、考情分析
- 考查频次:近5年(2021-2025)每套出现1-2道态度题,是稳定题型
- 常见题型:四选一选择题,题干含attitude, opinion, tone, seem等
- 分值占比:每道2分,每年2-4分
- 命题趋势:
- 态度题难度保持稳定,正确选项多为"cautiously positive/negative"
- 文中人物态度题出现频率略增
- 选项中的态度词汇难度有所提升(如 ambivalent, sanguine, wary 等)
- 作者态度越来越隐含,不再直接表态,需要通过论证方式推断
六、易错点提醒
错误表现:选了过于强烈的态度词(如enthusiastic, furious) 错误原因:考研阅读文章多为学术性议论文,作者通常措辞温和、留有余地,不会使用极端情绪词 正确做法:优先选择语气温和的态度词(cautiously, somewhat, reserved),极端词通常为干扰项
错误表现:把作者引述的他人态度当成作者态度 错误原因:文章可能花大量篇幅介绍某一群体的观点,但作者并不认同 正确做法:区分引述标记("Critics argue...", "Some scholars believe...")和作者直接表达(无引述标记的表述)。关注转折词后的内容,那才是作者真实态度
错误表现:选了"indifferent"(冷漠的) 错误原因:觉得"中立"等于"冷漠" 正确做法:如果作者对某话题"indifferent",就不会花笔墨写它。学术文章中作者的态度一定是"有倾向的",只是倾向的强弱不同。indifferent在考研中几乎永远不选
错误表现:混淆"客观"和"中立" 错误原因:认为objective = neutral,实际上客观的作者可以有明确立场,只要该立场基于证据 正确做法:objective强调论证方式(基于事实),neutral强调立场(无倾向)。如果作者用客观数据支持了一个明确观点,态度是"有立场的"而非"中立的"
