10.Critical Reading
Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement.Critical reading is active reading.(36)E.Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.
•Consider the context of what is written.
You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours.Or,you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours.(37)G.
•Question opinions made by the author.
Don't accept what is written at face value.(38)C.Look for facts,examples,and statistics that provide support.Also,look to see if the author has involved the work of authorities.
•(39)A.
Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to propose opinions.However,in many cases,you must read carefully in order to identify any indirect assumption.Once you identify an assumption,you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
•Evaluate the sources the author uses.
In doing this,be certain that the sources are credible as well as relevant.(40)D.For example,studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.
A.Analyze assumptions made by the author
B.What is written may very well reflect the author's position
C.Before accepting it,be certain that the author provides abundant support for any view made
D.Look to see that what is written is consistent with what others have written about the subject
E.It involves questioning,evaluating and forming your own ideas about what the author is saying
F.Moreover,if the author is writing about a subject in its current state,be sure that the sources are current
G.In either case,you must take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and the author's.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.
