议论文解题攻略

议论文是英语中的重要文体，在阅读理解中占有一定的比例。议论文就是说理性的文章，一股由论点、论据

和论证过程组成。议论文都要提出论题、观点、提供允分的证据，使用一定的逻辑方法证明观点或得出结论。

议论文涉及的论题具有生活化的特征，与社会生活密切相关。从命题I：看，议论文阅读理解以考查细节理解

和推理判断为主，偶尔考杳文章的主旨大意和作者的情感态度。考生在平时的阅读训练中要阅读一定数量的议论

文，以了解和掌握议论文的结构和行文特征。

【考情分析】

议论文涉及的论题具有生活化的特征，与社会生活密切相关。从命题上看，议论文阅读理解以考查细节理解

和推理判断为主，但不排除对观点态度的考查。考生在平时的阅读训练中要阅读一定数量的议论文，以了解和掌

握议论文的结构和行文特征。

1.语言与结构特点

议论文应该观点明确、论据充分、语言精练、论证合理、有严密的逻辑性。议论文通常采用三段论式的结构，

即“提出问题（引论）一分析问题（本论）一解决问题（结论）由此可见，要理解议论文有两个关键点，一是

要弄清文章的论点是什么、采用了哪些论据、如何论证；二是要理清其基本结构一三段论式结构。

2.答题误区

议论文阅读理解题易错点往往在于事实与观点的区分以及观点本身。解题时，一要弄清哪些是所引述的事实,

哪些是作者的观点以及引述中不同人物的观点；二要弄清作者真正的观点是什么，既要考虑全文，又要重视结论

部分，谨防将文章中引述的某人的观点和作者的观点混为一谈。

【解题秘籍】

一、抓住论点找主旨。

阅读议论文最重要的是抓住文章的论点，找到文章的论点也就把握了文章的主旨。一般来说，作者会在开头

段落交代文章的论点，因此，细读文章首段尤为重要。

次论文多采用“倒三角形”结构，因此“首段”和“段首”就是做题最大的要领，据此可以做好写作意图题、

主旨大意题和标题推断题。

二、理清文章结构。

以论文一般采用“总分总”的结构，作者先给出论点，然后从不同方面（正面，反面）进行论证，最后给出

总结或者自己的观点。文章中会出现较为明显的转折，递进，并列或者归纳总结等的逻辑关系词。考生在阅读时，

要理清文章结构，找到论点的基础上进而理解作者给出的论据，突破细节理解题和推埋判断题。

三、体会语言特点。

能否正确把握作者的观点和态度是体现阅读能力的重要方面。一般来说，对作者的总的态度和倾向，必须在

通读全文，掌握了论点和论据后，方能做出判断。在判断作者观点态度时，我们应注意，有时候作者的观点和态

度并不是明确地表达出来的，需要我们认真体察。做推理判断时，一定要遵循逻辑规律，以事实为依据进行合理

的推理。

四、注意干扰项特点。

①包含项原则

在答案选项分析中，假如对A选项的理解概括了对洪他三项（或其中某一项）的理解，那么我们就说选项A

与其他三项是包含或概括关系，包含项A往往就是正确答案。如在”花"与"玫瑰”两选项中，正确答案肯定

是“花”，花包含了玫瑰。

②正反项原则

所谓正反项，是指两选项陈述的命题完全相矛盾。两个相互矛盾的陈述不能都是假的，其中必有一真。所以，

假如四选项中A、B互为正反项，那我们通常先排除C、D项，正确答案〜般在A、B项当中。

③委婉项原则

所谓委婉，这里是指说话不能说死，要留有余地。阅读理解选项中语气平和、委婉的往往是王确答案。这些

选项一般含有不卜分肯定或试探性语气的表达,如：probably,possibly,may,usually,might,mostof,moreorless,

relatively,belikelyto,notnecessary,although,yet,inaddition,tendto等等，而含有绝对语气的表达往往不是正确答

案，如：must,always,never,alLevery,any,merely,only,pletely,none,hardly,already等等。

④同形项原则

命题者往往先将正确答案设置在一个大命题范围，然后通过语言形式的细微变化来考查考生的理解能力与分

析能力。同形项原则告诉我们：词汇与句法结构相似的选项中有正确答案的存在。

⑤常识项原则

议论文中，那些符合一般常识、意义深刻富有哲理、符合一般规律、属于普遍现象的往往是正确答案。

⑥因果项原则

阅读理解的逻辑推理基本都是通过因果链进行的，前因后果，一步步循序渐进。然而，在推理题的选项中，

有的选项会推理不到位（止于前因），或者推理过头（止于后果），这就是所谓的干扰项。因果项原则启示我们：假

如四个选项中有两项互为同一事物推理过程中的因果关系，那么正确答案就是两个因果项中的其中之一。如果因

项可产生儿个结果，那么答案就是因；如果果项可以对应几个原因，那么答案就是果。
