三、“interest”
这一词表示的是“兴趣”，偶尔会出现在选项当中，近几年来出现该单词的选项，都是一个错误选项。因为兴趣代表着人的主观判断，主观性是比较强的，如果文中没有明确表示某人对某事物是否有兴趣，则该选项就会变成主观臆断。命题人利用的就是看不懂文章的同学的猜测心理，让同学们想“他应该是对这个事物有兴趣吧?”而其实文章并没有明确表示。
举例：(2013年英语一text1)
Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment – including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line –Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford not to.
24. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
[A] Vanity has more often been found in idealists.
[B] The fast-fashion industry ignores sustainability.
[C] People are more interested in unaffordable garments.
[D] Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing.
解析：该题由该段末句可知，正确答案为D。错误选项中，C选项意为：人们对买不起的衣服更感兴趣，而原文中并没有提及人们是否对此感兴趣，因此该选项为主观臆断。
(2013年英语一text3)
Perhaps willfully, it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today’s technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it’s perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That’s one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future.
33. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 5?
[A] Arc helps limit the scope of futurological studies.
[B] Technology offers solutions to social problem.
[C] The interest in science fiction is on the rise.
[D] Our Immediate future is hard to conceive.
解析：该题由首句可知，正确答案为D。错误选项中，选项C意为：(人们)对科幻小说的兴趣正在上升。而原文中并没有提及人们是否对此感兴趣，因此该选项为主观臆断。
这些特征仅仅是通过多年试题情况的大数据而言，并不是今后出现该特征的选项一定是错误选项，而是可以让同学们把这些特征作为看不懂文章时排除选项的下下策，希望能对同学们有所帮助。
