一.态度题解析

托福听力其中一种题型就是态度题，想要做对它，要求大家理解说话者的感受，是支持还是反对，亦或是积极的还是消极的，传达的是快乐还是悲伤，亦或是充满了激情还是厌倦，表达出了肯定的态度或者是否定的态度,或是中立的态度(这种情况下，必须观察教授的观点有哪些)。通常讨论有一定有争议的文章，这个这么说，那个那么说，如此教授有什么态度呢?此为文章的考点所在。

二.态度题有什么标志

不论其用什么形式出现，考生所看见的题干最常出现的词是opinion和attitude,也就是观点和态度是什么?所以看到题干中出现opinion和attitude就要注意是传说中的态度题啦。

三.遇到态度题应该怎么做

观点态度题出题思路大致可分为两种：

(A)在文中直接表明观点态度

1.例如通过语音语调判断(上扬表示情绪惊讶，下降通常表示怀疑态度);我们来看一道例题(TPO 22/L4,有女生插问到professor对于”乐器仅仅为了覆盖电影放映机的声音而存在”这一情况的态度(问答环节一般都是听力题目的出题点), professor在原文中有明显的语调下降,甚至有点对于这一说法有点蔑视,即刻便说了Too bad it keeps getting printed as if it were the only reason music was used. Well, think about it… “too bad”亦体现出professor的否认质疑态度,因此答案选的是He doubts that it can fully explain why music was played.

2.通过形容词判断。如：

肯定态度(positive): favorable, approval, enthusiastic , supportive

否定态度(negative): disapproval, dissatisfied, objection, opposition, critical, compromising, concerned

怀疑态度(doubtful): suspicious, incredulous, skeptical, questionable

客观态度(objective): neutral, impartial, disinterested, unprejudiced, unbiased, detached

例如TPO23/L1中问及professor对于Antikythera Mechanism年龄的态度。Professor在原文提到the evidence makes an absolute case that this device dates back to ancient Greece somewhere between 150 and 100 B.C.E.后面在转折词but后继续提到the physical evidence is conclusive.也就是”absolutely, conclusive“这些词都体现出作者对于它的年龄分析是肯定的。当然professor在陈述这些情况的时候语音语调有明显的升华，(暗示着大家这是一个出题点，速记的时候要有敏感度)。 因此答案选的即是She is confident that the dating is accurate.

(B)间接表示观点态度。

有的时候，说话人会通过委婉的方式表达自己的观点，目的是为了体现出自己的观点显得更加公允，不偏激。这种观点态度一般是通过迂回的句型表现出来。例如，(TPO24/L1)

I heard some great examples of this on the television program on crocodiles last week. Anyone catch it? It had a few interesting bits. But you know, uh, you have to be careful, think critically. Sometimes I don't know where these shows find their experts.

What is the professor's opinion about the television program that she mentions?

She is concerned about the accuracy of some of the information the experts provided.

She is hopeful that the class will be able to discuss it.

She thinks it was overly critical of some recent theories about crocodiles.

She is surprised that it did not include more examples of crocodile communication

从前面几句话来看，professor觉得电视中关于鳄鱼的节目是有点意思的。但是之后她的语气有明显的停顿(暗示出题点)，并在转折之后表示希望同学们仔细点，犀利一些，想想这些节目从哪儿找来的专家。体现出professor对这些节目的质疑，因此答案是A选项，值得注意的是，此题中的C选项虽然有critical这个词，但是它的意思是指“电视节目过于critical了，有悖于原文的意思，不能选。

以上是托福态度主旨篇解题技巧，主旨题需要大家把好整篇文章的主旨，而主旨一般会出现在文章的最开始位置，所以文章开头一定要认真听。如果你还有其他疑问，请进入坦途网托福考试频道，在这里你总会找到答案。
