tips分析文章结构，攻克写作意图题

写作意图题要求考生在理解文章主旨的基础上揣测作者的写作意图及作者运用某种写

作手法的目的。作者一般不直接表明自己的意图，而是通过文章所提供的事实，客观地使

读者信服某种想法或观点。这种题型要求考生不但能理解文章的大意，同时还要具备对作

者阐述问题的方法进行分析和归纳总结的能力。

一般来说，我们可以通过分析文章的文体特点，理解文章中的文字表述、上下文的逻

辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者的写作意图。

例如上文第11小题。本文先介绍世界各地的游客参观玛雅遗址，又介绍了它的古代文

化和成就，最后一段推荐读者去玛雅文化遗址参观，此时文章的写作目的也就一目了然了，

即推荐读者去玛雅文化遗址参观。

语篇解读：本文讲述了适当地和孩子开玩笑可以增强亲子关系，帮助孩子克服困难，

有助于孩子成长；但是开玩笑要把握分寸。

1.选E根据空处前一句可知，研究表明，父母和孩子之间开玩笑可以加强关系，提

出困难的话题，也可以当作娱乐；结合下文中的"Youneedtorecognizeiftheyareenjoying

it.”可推知，E项“但是父母要认识到何时玩笑会变成伤害”符合语境，衔接上下文。

2.选B根据空处后一句提到可以拿一些安全的话题来逗孩子可推知，空处讲述的是

不能拿来开玩笑的话题，故B项符合语境。

3.选F根据空处后一句可知，如果他们开玩笑开得过火了，千万别大发脾气。据此

可以推断，空处表述的是你也要愿意让孩子开你的玩笑；故F项正确。空处前一句wTeasing

shouldalsobeatwo-waystreet.w也是提示。

4.选D根据空处后一句可知，你需要检查他们是否有学习障碍，或者可能他们抑郁

或被欺负了；据此可推知，空处表述的是你要同他们一起弄明白成绩不好的原因，故D项

正确。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国饮茶这一传统文化的特点。

1.amazing考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作表语，且主语是物，故

应该填形容词amazingo

2.before考查介词。文章开头提到中国的茶文化有悠久的历史，本句进一步证明了

这一点，故填before"在...之前”。

3.totalk考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作目的状语，应用不定式结构，故填totalk。

4.an考查冠词。很多因素促成一次美好的体验。根据句意和空格后的"enjoyable

experience”可知此处应用不定冠词an表示泛指。

5.where考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导定语从句，修饰先行词

setting,并且在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词whereo

6.aredecorated考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处描述现在的情况，应用一

般现在时；且teahouses和decorate之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。teahouses为复数形

式，故填aredecorated©

7.performance考查名词。结合空格前的a和空格后的of可知此处应填名词

performance。

8.used考查非谓语动词。Water与use之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作

后置定语，故填used。

9.ranks考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本文的基本时态是一般现在时，故此处亦用

一般现在时。由togetherwith连接的短语作主语时，谓语动词与前面的主语“Redtea”保持

一致，应用第三人称单数。故填ranks。

10.totally考查副词。空处修饰形容词different,故应用副词totally。
