小白老师说：观点态度题是英语阅读理解必考题型，今天给大家分析观点态度题的题型特点、常见题干，并用真题实例为大家示范解题思路，最后给大家总结了阅读理解选项中可能出现的几乎所有表示态度的词。
英语阅读中，经常考到需要判断作者观点的题目，这类题目就称为观点态度题，是就文章中作者的感情色彩或所持态度进行提问的一类题目，主要是想测试考生从字里行间把握作者写作意图、情感和态度的能力。
观点态度题常见的题干有：
In the author’s opinion, the counter-conference _____________.
What is the author’s attitude towards ...?
What is the tone of the author in the last paragraph?
……
观点态度题根据提问涉及的范围可分为两类：
第一类是就整篇文章中作者的行文态度或感情色彩进行提问，即“泛指”；另一类是就作者在文中对某个特定人物或事件所持的观点、态度进行提问，即“特指”。
这两类态度题需区别对待。
解答“泛指”类态度题时，我们要抓住文章字里行间的总体风格和导向，根据作者的思维方式和用词习惯做出概括性的判断，切忌将我们读者本人的感情色彩掺杂其中。
换言之，你怎么认为不重要，文章的作者怎么认为才重要。
而解答“特指”类态度题的关键是抓住能够体现作者感情色彩或态度的关键性、标志性词语，以此为依据做出有针对性的判断。
下面就以全国医学博士英语统考的真题给大家做一个详细分析。
（2013 年真题）
Evidence suggested that the brain is so plastic that, like genes, it can be changed by relaxing selection pressure. Our understanding of human cognitive development is still fragmented and confused, however. We have lots of proposed causes and effects, and hypotheses to explain them. Yet the potential pay-off makes answers worth searching for. If we know where the human mind came fromand that changed it, perhapswe can gauge where it is going. Finding those answers will take all the ingenuity the modern human mind can muster.
Speaking of the human mind, the author would say that ____________.
A. Its cognitive development is extremely slow
B. To know its past is to understand its future
C. Its biological evolution is hard to predict
D. As the brain develops, so as the mind
【解析】题目问的是对于人类思维，作者认为_________。文章最后一段提到 “If we know where the human mind came from and what changed it，perhaps we can gauge where it is going.."，即“了解其过去可以预知其未来发展”，和选项 B 相符，所以正确答案选 B。
（2015 年真题）
Current treatment for burned eyes involves taking stem cells from a patient’s healthy eye or from the eyes of another person, and transferring them to the burned eye. The new procedure, however, stimulates the limbal stem cells from the patient' s own eye to reproduce in a lab culture. Several types of treatments using stem cells have proven successful in restoring vision, but the long-term effectiveness shown here is significant. The treatment is only for blindness caused by damage to the cornea, it is not effective for repairing damaged retinas or optic nerves.
Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards the new methods?
A. Sarcastic.
B. Indifferent.
C. Critical.
D. Positive.
【解析】这个题目问的是“下列哪一个词最能描述作者对新技术的态度？”
文章倒数第三段说：“Several types of treatments using stem cells have proven successful in restoring vision, but the long-term effectiveness shown here is significant.” 原文用了 successful 和 significant 这样两个非常正面的词，可见作者对这项研究给予了充分的肯定，由此我们可以判断选项 D. positive 正确。
选项 A. Sarcastic 挖苦的，尖刻的；选项 B. indifferent 不关心的，中立的；选项 C. critical 批评的。这三项都不正确。
【练习】
“The Heart of the Matter”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences(AAAS), deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities, and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to addressthe true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.
……
According to Paragraph 1, what is the author’s attitude toward the AAAS’s report?
A. Critical.
B. Appreciative.
C. Contemptuous.
D. Tolerance.
【解析】题目问的是作者对 AAAS 报道的态度。根据第一段的“ regrettably”、“however”等词可知，deserves praise 与作者的看法是对立的，因此作者应该是反对的态度。故选 A。
