在職GCT英語閱讀態(tài)度語氣題目主要從作者文中描述事物所用到的形容詞，副詞，動詞等表達感情色彩的詞匯入手。當(dāng)選項不能確定時，再回到原文中找關(guān)鍵詞。對這類題型，分清褒貶一般不難，是考生的必得分點。

　　作者寫作的語氣和寫作態(tài)度密切相關(guān)，兩者常常故將兩者放在一起講解。常見的問法有：

　　What is the author´s attitude toward…?

　　The author’s attitude towards…could be described as_______.

　　Which of the following best describes the author´s tone in this passage?

　　From the tone of the passage we know that the author is .

　　(1)直接陳述式(主語是談到的事、物)。

　　(2)使用評述性的副詞在其他人的話里面。

　　(3)他人的論述后面有連詞引出另外一種說法，見條。

　　(4)其他人的說法后面的括號里的內(nèi)容。

　　以下文為例：

　　It´s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the　parents that nature dealt them. That´s especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the　law blindly favors biological parents. It´s also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes (收養(yǎng)孩子的家庭) because of parents who can´t or won´t care for them but refuse to give up custody (監(jiān)護) rights.

　　Fourteen­year­old Kimberl y Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory coul d eventually　help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry cust ody battle between the man who raised　her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Fl orida judge ruled that the teenager can　remain with the only father she´s ever known and that her biological parents have "no legal claim" on her.
