推斷題屬於主觀性較強的高層次閱讀理解題，做這類題目時，同學們要嚴格依據作者所陳述的細節、事實以及作者的措詞、態度和語氣，找出能夠表露作者思想傾向和感情色彩的詞句，然後利用自己已獲得的相關知識進行推理判斷，從而得出符合邏輯的結論。下面是小編為大家帶來的如何做大學聯考英語閱讀理解推斷題，歡迎閱讀。
一、如何推斷隱含意義
1．推斷隱含意義的提問方式
It can be inferred from the text that______.
According to…, we can infer that______.
From the text we know that …is most likely_______.
When the writer talks about …, what the writer really means is_______ .
The writer suggests that______.
The story implies that___________.
We can infer [conclude] from the passage that______________.
這類題幹中通常常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude, intend, purpose, be likely to…等標誌性詞語。2. 干擾項的設定特點在通常情況下，這類試題的干擾項具有以下特點：或是文章中直接用於表達細節的資訊，或是文章中無關緊要或片面推出的結論，或是與文章內容完全相反的結論，或是不合常理或不合邏輯的結論等。3. 答題誤區同學們在做類題目時，很容易誤選文段中直接用於表達資訊的選項或表示片面結論的選項。4. 技巧點撥一是要全面分析所有相關資訊，切忌片面思考，得出片面結論。二是要忠實原文，切忌脫離原文，憑空臆斷。三是注意不要選擇表層資訊答案，應該立足由已知推斷未知。
例項分析（江西卷）
A stronger argument comes from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys, tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages. In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed(驚動) the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes. In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer. This may, however, not be as simple as it looks. It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.
●At the end of the passage the writer suggests that ________.
A. single-sex schools are the best schools in the UK
B. being single-sex does not necessarily make a school better
C. co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal development
D. because boys cannot compete with girls in study, they go to single-sex schools
【解題思路分析】答案選 B。作者在羅列In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker和In the UK the best schools are all single-sex等事實後，得出了It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools這個結論。要做對上面這道題，正確理解文章末尾這句結論性的句子至關重要。這裡尤其要注意句中的rather than這個關鍵性詞語，它的意思是“而不是”，用於否定或排除其後引出的內容。故只有選項B最合適。
二、如何推斷作者觀點
1. 提問方式The writer’s attitude toward… is______ writer thought that______ writer According to the author ______.
2. 干擾選項此類試題的干擾項通常具有以下特點：或是自己的某種看法或觀點，或是社會的一種普遍種傾向，或是與本文無關或與作者相反的觀點或看法等。
3. 答題誤區容易誤選與自己的看法相吻合的選項。
4. 技巧點撥注意作者在文中的措辭，尤其是表達感情色彩的形容詞、副詞、動詞及所舉的例子，才能推斷出作者的弦外之音。
例項分析（江西卷）
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying—holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering—can be bad for physical(身體的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural—and healthy—emotional response(反應).
●According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
【解題思路分析】答案選B。作者在文章中說Studies show that too much control can lead to high blood press, heart problems and other illnesses，即過多地忍住情感（如忍住不哭等ch control can lead to high blood press, ）有可能會導致健康問題。這裡雖然用了Studies show… (研究表明……)這樣的字眼，但作者在此顯然是為增加說服力而特意採用的一種表現手法，也就是說，研究所表明的結果就是作者的觀點，故最佳答案為B。
三、如何推斷寫作目的
1. 提問方式
(1) 考查整篇文章
The writer writes this passage in order to _____ writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____ is the purpose of writing this article?In writing the passage, the author intends to _____.
(2) 考查某處細節的寫作意圖
The writer uses the example of…to show that _____ writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _____.…are mentioned in the first paragraph to _____.
常見的寫作目的歸納不同的文章可能有不同的寫作目的, 但寫作目的通常有以下三種：
(1)娛樂讀者，讓人發笑
(2) 說服讀者接受某種觀點
(3)告知讀者某些資訊
技巧點撥：
根據文體類別推斷寫作目的這就要求我們瞭解在歷年大學聯考閱讀題中，不同文體與三種目的的大致對應關係，這有助於做好此類試題。
第一種寫作目的（to entertain readers）常見於故事類的文章。如全國卷曾有一篇閱讀文章，作者虛構了兩個宇航員在太空工作的情形，一個宇航員Joe做完了修理工作後要回到飛船上，用力敲了多次飛船的門，但門都沒開，最後才傳來這樣一句話“Who’s there ?” “It’s me ! Who else could it be ?”Joe生氣地大喊。在這一問一答中作者的寫作目的就躍然紙上：因為太空處於真空狀態，不能傳播聲音，因此本文純屬虛構，寫作目的是想令人發笑（to make people laugh）。而全國卷的另一篇閱讀文章，則更多地選擇那些可以顯示兩個主人公的笨拙的細節，目的是為了表現事情的有趣（to tell an interesting experience），從而達到娛樂讀者的目的。
第二種寫作目的（to persuade readersto persuade readersto sell a product or a service），或是要通過對旅遊景點﹑報刊雜誌﹑影片﹑電視節目等的介紹來達到他的寫作目的：吸引更多的遊客﹑讀者或訂戶﹑觀眾等（to attract more visitors / readers / audience）。如廣東卷曾有篇閱讀理解文章介紹了四種雜誌的'內容和價格，其目的是to get more readers to subscribe。另一篇全國卷的閱讀理解文章則介紹了一種被稱為“籃子裡的聚會”的家庭服務計劃，文章內容包括服務的創意﹑服務的內容以及服務的價格和聯絡方式，由此我們可以推斷出作者的寫作目的是：to sell a service。
第三種寫作目的（to inform readers）多見於科普類﹑新聞報道類﹑文化類或社會類的文章，瞭解這類文章的寫作目的有賴於對文章主題的正確把握，閱讀時有必要找準文章的主題句，或較好地對主題加以歸納．如全國卷有篇閱讀文章，一開始我們就讀到了這樣的一個問題：“Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute?” 這是介紹新產品或新思路的一種常見手法，可由此初步推斷寫作意圖，作者在接下來的兩個段落對這種廢物回收裝置作了具體的描述，並在最後一段告訴了我們這種裝置的最大優點，把握了這些關鍵資訊，我們也就明白了作者的意圖：to introduce a recycling system for high rises．上海卷的一篇閱讀文章，一開始給出了文章的主題句In toy stores, what is old is new again之後從generational effect , economic factors 和marketing techniques三個方面分析了20世紀80年代的玩具又再重新熱銷的原因，這就是作者寫本文的目的：to analyze the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980’
從寫用手法來推斷寫作目的請看一個例項（廣東卷）
“Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said.
●The writer ont-family: 'Times Nuses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to ______.
A. test the readers’ knowledge about waves B. draw the readers’ attention to the topic
C. show Jamie Taylor’s importance D. invite the readers to answer them
【分析】作者在文章開頭提出問題讓讀者思考，或是簡單介紹與主題有關的其他事物，目的往往是為了引出主題（to draw the readers’ attention to the topic / to serve as an introduction to the discussion），故選B），故選。 四、如何推斷文章出處1. 提問方式 10.5pt; COLOR: bla推斷文章出處的設題形式有：The passage is most likely to be taken from______e would this passage most probably appear?The passage is most likely a part of______.2. 解題技巧這類問題應從文章的內容或結構來判斷其出處：(1)報紙：前面會出現日期、地點或通訊社名稱。(2)廣告：因其格式特殊，容易辨認。(3)產品說明：器皿、裝置的使用說明會有產品名稱或操作方式，而藥品的服用說明會告知服用時間、次數、藥量等。
例項分析（全國卷）例項分析（全國卷）Do you always understand the directions on a bottle of medicine? Do you know what is meant by “Take only as directed?” Read the following directions and see if you understand reduce pain, take two tablets(藥片) with water, followed by one tablet every eight hours, as required. For night-time and early morning relief (緩解疼痛) take two tablets at bedtime. Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four children six to twelve years old, give half the amount (量). For children under six years old, ask your doctor’s ce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleeplessness after taking the medicine.
●This text is most probably taken from a ______.
A. textbook B. newsreel
C. doctor’s notebook D. bottle of medicine
【解題思路分析】此題極易誤選D。的確，人們常在藥瓶上的說明中看到文章直接引語部分的文字內容，但是像第一段這樣的內容不可能出現在藥瓶上。由此可見，這一段文章應選自教科書中有關如何讀服藥說明的課文，故選A。 五、一點特別說明閱讀理解中的推斷題通常涉及的是作者的看法、意圖與態度，即作者本人在文章字裡行間所表達的觀點或看法，此時千萬不要誤認為是在問“你”(考生)的想法。
