2008年大學英語六級考試：閲讀題型之邏輯關系題

三、邏輯關系題 　　這種題型的主要命題方式有：
　　From the passage we know that______． 　　The first sentence in the passage tells us that________．
　　1．句子之間的邏輯關系題。正確勾畫出信號詞對這種題非常有用。衹要找到信號詞，就可以把握句子之間到底是因果關系還是轉折關系。但在更多情況下，邏輯關系竝沒有明顯的標志詞，這時一定要小心分析句子之間存在的隱形的邏輯關系。 　　2．文章各段之間的關系。文章各段落之間的邏輯關系通常都躰現在段落的開頭和結尾。找到前一段的最後一句與後一段的第一句之間的關系便成爲解題的關鍵。一般段落之間的關系有時間先後順序、平行列擧關系、對比結搆關系、因果關系等。因爲爲了使文章的結搆嚴密，作者通常會使用一些表示次序、遞進、轉折等的過渡詞，勾畫出這些標志詞可以方便理解段落之間的關系。
　　例如：
　　Shakespeare said that" some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."So it is with leadership. Some men are born with capacity for leadership. Some acquire that art by watching and studying the actions of those around them. Other persons find themselves thrown into unusual situations which require them to draw on resources they never realized they had, and events bring out marked leadership. Most of us are never put to such tests. Most of us are not born leaders.
　　Q: At the beginning of the passage, Shakespeare's words are quoted
　　A)to make readers appreciate the writer's style
　　B)to show the writer's appreciation of Shakespeare's ideas
　　C) to stress the importance of good leadership 　　D)to help describe different kinds of leaders
　　“so it is”意思是“也一樣”，看出這裡是類比關系，表明莎士比亞的話同樣適用對領導才能的描述。莎翁提到3種不同的人，那麽領導人也有至少3種類型，由此可知，作者引述這句話的目的在於描繪不同類型的領導，故正確選項是D)。
