2.依据文章的论述推断作者的观点、意图和态度以及写作手法的题目。虽不含infer,imply等推断词，但也需要考生推断和识别，因此可以称为含蓄推断题。作者的观点、意图和态度有主观和客观两种。主观态度一般只能从字里行间推断出来。要特别注意作者在文章中的措辞，尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词，在客观描述中，作者的态度往往II。1。C。推理判断题.A。teachinghasbeentheauthor’sfavoriteprofessionallthetime和D。versatileteachersareurgentlyneeded正确,但却是文章中明确说的，不是从文章中推断出来的；答案B从文中最后一段Nowadaysgovernmentsatalllevelsputmorestressontherolesofeducationininformationsociety可知是正确的。答案C是从文中最后一段最后一句“Inshort，Iwillmakeeffortstodowellmyfavoritejobteaching."可知C是正确选项。2。C。推理判断题。通过第二段第一和第二两句话可知A是正确的；通过最后一段第一句话可知B和D是正确的；通过最后一段“Rosydreamandfirmwillcannotbea
