首先，大家要明确的是阅读这个题型实质上是在考察什么?考研英语的阅读题设置的目的简单概括就是为了来检验学生是否拥有快速阅读学术性议论文并抓取重要信息的能力。大家应该了解，学术性议论文一般都是以某一个话题为中心展开学术讨论的，所以它的行文结构以及内容是符合学术性文章逻辑严谨、论证清晰等特点的。那么我们在做阅读题的时候就要能够抓住文章的这些特点来帮助我们解题。根据题目的不同的提问方式，我们可以把阅读理解的题型主要分为六大类题型，分别是:主旨大意题、推断题、例证题、态度题、词意句义题和细节题。阅读理解这个题型是有一定解题技巧的题型，针对不同的题型可以采用不同的解题技巧来解题。下面小编将会以例证题为例，来给大家简单介绍一下例证题的解题技巧，咱们直接上试题：
We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.
39. The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often
[A] influenced by superstitions. [B] troubled with religious beliefs.
[C] puzzled by church sermons. [D] frustrated with family earnings.
这个题目的问法就是一个标准的例证题的问法，呈现方式是：“某个例子被提及是为了表明…..?”很多同学拿到这样的题目，会在看完题干后拿着例子回原文定位，然后从定位到的例子开始的地方往下阅读解题，而这样就恰好使自己走入了误区之中。例证题的解题方法从本质上来说即：论据证明论点。题干中提到的例子就是论据，而论据存在的目的是为了证明论点的，所以我们要找的并不是例子本身，而是它所证明的论点。而论点和论据的位置关系就是:论点在前，论据在后。所以看到这里相信小伙伴们应该豁然开朗了，以这道题为例，我们要做的就是定位到题干中提到的“John Dan”这个人在原文中出现的位置，然后看前一句话来进行解题，那么读完这句话大家就会发现答案很明显就是A选项了。
