　　问题二：推理判断题常见问题

　　问题描述与分析

　　推理判断是指在理解原文字面意义的基础上，通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示，作出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的深层意义及隐含意义的过程。学生在此类问题上失分较多，主要是无法准确找到答案的位置点，很难进行正确推理。

　　典例精析：

　　【例1】 (2009?全国Ⅰ卷C篇)We have met the enemy, and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox，a disease.usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染)we think of as human infections started in other animals”， says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

　　It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them, ”says Isaksen.

　　“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，”says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒)may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

　　(D)1.We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may ________

　　A．come from Columbia

　　B．prevent us from being infected

　　C．enjoy being with children

　　D．suffer from monkey-pox

　　(A)2.The text suggests that in the future we ________.

　　A．may have to fight against more new diseases

　　B．may easily get infected by diseases from dogs

　　C．should not be allowed to have pets

　　D．should stop buying pets from Africa

　　【答案解析】

　　1．选择D。推理判断题。根据第一段的第一、二句话可知，我们从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病，能传播给人类。下面以猴痘为例说明作者的观点。

　　2．选择A。推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person可知，人类今后可能面临更多疾病的挑战。

　　【例2】 (2009?山东卷A篇)A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.”says Dave.

　　But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches’ Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches.generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others，it was more than $100,000.

　　It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.

　　Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.

　　Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.
