問題：Mr Brown was walking towards__________.
A．the north B．the south C．the east D．the west
解答此題除了要看懂英語句意外，還要根據(jù)常識來判斷：Mr．Brown從上午十點上路走了一整天，這時太陽西下，他的長長的身影映在他的前面，只有當(dāng)他面東而行才會有這種情況。因此答案C才符合他行走的方向。
(2)簡單計算
做此類題的正確解答，除了懂英語外，還要進(jìn)行倍數(shù)，和差，面積，體積，時間等簡
單推算。例如短文B。
B
The doctor asked her some questions，and one of them was“How old are you?”“Well”，she answered，“I don't remember，doctor，but I'll try to think．”She thought for a minute and then said，“yes，I remember now，doctor! When I married，I was eighteen years old，and my husband was thirty．Now my husband is sixty．I know that is twice thirty．So I'm twice eighteen，that is thirty-six．Am I right?”
問題：How old was the woman?
She was really___________.
A．60 B．30 C．36 D．48
從短文中可以看出這位婦女結(jié)婚已三十年了，從她丈夫的年齡60-30=30得出，她本人現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該是四十八，即30+18=48，因此正確答案為D。而如果根據(jù)這位婦女的荒謬可笑的推算，或者望文生義，就可能錯選答案C。
(3)依據(jù)內(nèi)容情節(jié)從一般規(guī)律、因果關(guān)系、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系推理。此類問題在解答各種閱讀問題中屢見不鮮。如果只停留在對短文字面上的“閱讀”，而不從人物、時間、情節(jié)發(fā)展上考慮其邏輯關(guān)系，并進(jìn)行推理，是不可能真正地“理解”短文的。例如短文C。
C
Joe Bloggs always had a cigarette on his lips．He smoked while he read，while he looked at the television，and while he drank a cup of coffee．He smoked forty cigarettes a day，but he was happy．
Joe's friend, Fred Brown, said to him, "It is very bad to smoke."
When Joe heard this, he started to worry and became thin. So he did not buy any more cigarette. He became so thin and he went to Fred for help.
Fred said, "You must eat more. "So Joe did not smoke, but he ate chocolate, and he became very fat. Again he went to Fred for help.
Fred said, "You must not eat chocolate. "So Joe stopped eating chocolate, but he went back to smoking cigarettes. He became thin again but he was not happy, because he still smoked.
Sometimes Joe Bloggs wished Fred Brown was not his friend.
①When Joe became thin the first time it was because_________.
A. he smoked too much B. he worried too much
C. he stopped smoking D. he ate too little
�、赥he following sentences tell what happened to Joe. Which is the right order of the events?

b. He smoked; he did not eat chocolate; he was thin; he was unhappy.

A. a, b, c B. c, b, a C. b, a, c D. c, a, b
③what kind of person would you say Joe was?
A. He was not the kind of person who used his head much.
B. He had no will power to carry out a decision.
C. He was not happy to let others make decisions for him.
D. He was always changing his mind and was never satisfied.
�、躻hat is the writer trying to tell us with this story?
A. One should think and decide for oneself.
B. One should ask friends for help and advice.
C. Smoking is bad for ones health.
做第①題時，如果只看到“他每天抽兩包煙”(He smoked forty cigarettes a day)，而沒有看到“但是他很愉快”(but he was happy)，這一層轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，以及“他后來聽了Fred的觀點之后，憂心忡忡，面容憔悴起來”(when Joe heard this，he started to worry and became thin．)這一層因果關(guān)系，就有可能錯選A答案，認(rèn)為他的瘦削是由抽煙引起的。正確答案是C，則說明了他的瘦削的真正原因是憂慮所致。
第②題正確答案為D，語序“他抽煙，不吃巧克力，且不胖，但很愉快�！薄八怀闊�，吃巧克力，胖，不高興。”他抽煙，不吃巧克力，瘦，不高興�！边@正反映本文開始階段情節(jié)發(fā)展的主線的邏輯關(guān)系。
第③題正確答案為A，從全文分析可以推理出Joe不是一個愛動腦筋的人。
4．把握作者態(tài)度。
如例文C中的第④小題What is the writer trying to tell us with this story?這就直接需要在閱讀此短文時掌握作者的態(tài)度。
作者在這里并非強調(diào)抽煙或吃巧克力有害健康，而主要暗指Joe沒有主見，決定事情總是要went to Fred for help，而且全聽Fred的，結(jié)果煙未戒掉，面容憔悴，思想又不愉快，便更不如以前，雖然抽煙厲害，but he was happy了。因此，作者想要告訴讀者的是一個人要自己拿主見，即答案是A。
如果在閱讀中沒有把握作者的基本態(tài)度或意圖，往往就是“讀懂了”短文也可能在做理解題上出現(xiàn)判斷錯誤。因此，沒有把握作者的態(tài)度，意圖，傾向，就不能說真正讀懂了。
