文档介绍：段落推理题是考研阅读理解常用的一种命题方式。这类题目往往选取文章中的某段或是某个句子,或是某人的言论让考生推断隐含的意思。有的考生对这种题目很是头疼。觉得无从下手:文章还是半懂不懂的,更别说探究隐含的意思了。

其实,不尽然。段落推理题的题目很容易识别,常用的命题形式有:What can we infer from the first paragraph? (从第一段中我们能推出什么?)首先明确考研中根本就没有所谓的推理,推理题的做法和细节题的做法是一致的,只是这样设置题干可以扩大命题控制的区域,一个题目在某些情况下甚至相当于四个细节题,早年还有更为无耻的命题方式:What can be inferred from the passage? 这样命题其实就是出题人希望试题涵盖更多的测试点,对考生来讲最大的障碍就是time-consuming(耗时),考生如果每个选项仔细和原文比对应该不难找出答案,哪怕费时稍微多一些。但是有的时候我们却遇到出题人为我们设置的另外一个困境:选项和原文比对时,我们很难排除。先看一个例题:

2007年Text 4最后一题:

[A] data leakage is more severe in Europe

[C] California takes the lead in security legislation(D)

[D] legal penalty is a major solution to data leakage

原文根据:

current state of affaires may have been encouraged—though not justified—by the lack of legal penalty (in America, but not Europe) for data leakage.

California recently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray.

3. That may change fast: lots of proposed data-security legislation is now doing the rounds in Washington, .

, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America’s Federal mission (FTC)
