10.Critical Reading
Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement.Critical reading is active reading.(36)E.Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.
•Consider the context of what is written.
You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours.Or,you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours.(37)G.
•Question opinions made by the author.
Don't accept what is written at face value.(38)C.Look for facts,examples,and statistics that provide support.Also,look to see if the author has involved the work of authorities.
•(39)A.
Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to propose opinions.However,in many cases,you must read carefully in order to identify any indirect assumption.Once you identify an assumption,you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
•Evaluate the sources the author uses.
In doing this,be certain that the sources are credible as well as relevant.(40)D.For example,studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.
A.Analyze assumptions made by the author
B.What is written may very well reflect the author's position
C.Before accepting it,be certain that the author provides abundant support for any view made
D.Look to see that what is written is consistent with what others have written about the subject
E.It involves questioning,evaluating and forming your own ideas about what the author is saying
F.Moreover,if the author is writing about a subject in its current state,be sure that the sources are current
G.In either case,you must take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and the author's.

解答 EGCAD
36.E 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)Critical reading is active reading可知,批判性閱讀是一種積極主動的 閱讀,涉及到質(zhì)疑、評價等內(nèi)容,故選E.
37.G 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)該段的小標題Consider the context of what is written建議我們考慮寫作內(nèi)容,所以選項里you must take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and the author's考慮你和作者之間的價值觀態(tài)度等,故選G.
38.C 推理題.根據(jù)Don't accept what is written at face value別接受作者的價值,建議我們在接受之前,確保作者提供充足的證據(jù),故選C.
39.A 概括總結(jié).通過該段的第一句Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to propose opinions提到assumption,所以推出標題Analyze assumptions made by the author,故選A.
40.D 細節(jié)題,根據(jù)該段的小標題Evaluate the sources the author uses.建議我們評估作者使用的一些資源,看 一下他寫的和其他作者寫的是否一致,故選D.
點評 考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.
