What is the author’s attitude…——2013 高考英语第 67 题答案解析

【考点】O6：社会文化类阅读；P2：文中细节；P6：作者情感态度

【分析】本文属于记叙文阅读，这是一篇关于"读书谎言"的文章，由作者发现一个朋友撒谎说读过奥巴马的《我父亲的梦想》引入话题．进而用数据说明了撒谎人数之多，有2/3的人曾撒谎说读过某本书，而撒谎的主要原因是他们想要给别人留下好印象．并列举了当今人们最喜欢的作家

64．D 细节理解题．根据第一段"However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all."可知作者发现朋友撒谎，是因为朋友对此书的深入讨论暴露了他对奥巴马背景的无知，故选D

65．B 推理判断题．根据第二段"But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant."，并结合上文"The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading"可知作者不像42%的人一样假装读过乔治•奥威尔（英国小说家）的《1984》，因此可推测 出有42%的人撒谎说读过《1984》，故选B

66．D 细节理解题．根据第四段"Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to ‘impress’

someone they were speaking

to."可知，大多说人撒谎是想要给别人留下好印象，从而结交更多朋友，故选D

【答案】C

【解析】作者态度题．根据第五段"I’ll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done

so"可知作者对这些人说从未这样做过表示很惊讶，因此可推知作者对这58%的人表示怀疑，故选C

【点评】考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时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
