Question

6．The art of reading fiction is largely a matter of inferring meanings．To infer means to understand facts which are not directly stated-only suggested．Inference is one of the commonest ways of knowing things_： a child holds his knee and cries； this action implies his feeling； aji observer infers that the child hurt．To infer accurately in everyday life requires caution in observing； to infer skillfully in fiction requires caution in reading； both require disciplined imagination．
The short-story reader can expect to find certain basic elements in any story．For example，all stories involve a person or persons，in a particular setting，faced with a demand for a response．The response called for may be a physical action，such as defeating an adversary （對手） or escaping from a danger； or it may be a mental action，such as adjusting to others or within oneself．In either case，the short story is a description in two ways_： first，it shows the motives for a given，human action； second，it makes a point about the general human situation．Such descriptions，however，rather than being stated directly，usually are implied by the elements of the story．
When the reader of a story understands all the facts and their interrelationships，he is ready to infer the significance of the story as a whole-its comment on the human situation．This comment，or theme，is the seed from which the story grew．It is also the idea by which all the separate elements of the story are governed，while these in turn further shape and modify the theme．In addition to action，character，and setting，these elements include structure，mood，tone，and point of view．
Fiction reading requires an awareness of all the ways in which a story communicates．It also requires attention to detail．What the author provides is a network of points which serve as clues to his meaning．He invites the"reader to develop the meaning by inference，actually to create much of the story himself and so make it part of his own experience．

分析 本文是一篇說明文．主要敘述了讀小說的藝術(shù)在于讀者的推理，文中講述了什么是推理，推理就是在描述的事實(shí)之外，你推測出來的內(nèi)容，但是推理是基于這篇小說的事實(shí)，不是憑空想象的，最后指出推理能幫助讀者發(fā)展他們的想象空間來豐富充實(shí)自己，推斷是閱讀小說的基本技能．

解答 ABAC
67．A    細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中的"To infer means to understand facts which are not directly stated---only suggested．"可知，推理就是在描述的事實(shí)之外，故選A．
68．B    細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段中的"The short-story reader can expect to find certain basic elements in any story．Such descriptions，however，rather than being stated directly，usually are implied by the elements of the story"可知，推理是基于這篇小說的事實(shí)，故選B．
69．A    推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段中的"He invites the reader to develop the meaning by inference，actually to create much of the story himself and so make it part of his own experience．"可知，推理能幫助讀者發(fā)展他們的想象空間來豐富充實(shí)自己，故選A．
70．C   主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一段中的"The art of reading fiction is largely a matter of inferring meanings．"可知，推斷是閱讀小說的基本技能，故選C．

點(diǎn)評 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn)．
