邏輯推理題在當中考察了考生的判斷、推理、引申能力，推理題通常題干上有三個典型詞，即infer，imply和conclusion。如：What can you infer from the story? 或What is the implied meaning of this sentence? We can draw the conclusion from the passage that, 推理性問題原文中沒有現成的答案。只能自己推想出來，但不能憑空瞎想，必須以原文中某句話或某個詞語為依據去合理推測才能找到答案。

　　一、解題方法

　　a. 要做好推理判斷題，要求考生能夠充分理解閱讀文章、分析語篇特征、尋找解題依據。考生應該在領會全文的基礎上作出正確的推理和判斷;

　　b. 要理解文章的字面意思，弄清上下文的整體邏輯;其次，在閱讀過程中要一定要留意那些似乎話中有話的間接表達句，它們往往采用說半句、打比喻、反過來講的方式，留有讓考生自己作結論或推理的余地，同時要留意含義深刻或結構復雜的句子。同學們對作者表達的意思不能一下看透，它們往往是命題點所在;

　　c. 要精讀讀題干，充分了解題目要求我們進行推理和判斷的內容，以免白費力氣;

　　d. 仔細挖掘作者隱藏在文章中的一些重要涵義，切勿用自己的主觀判斷來代替文章內容。

　　二、解題步驟

　　第一步：通讀全文，尤其是首末段，迅速得知文章的主旨大意;

　　第二步：通讀選項，在每個選項下邊用筆標記本選項的大致中文意思，以做到心中有數，至少應該能知道可以供考生選擇的選項的意思范圍，并且在很短的時間里找到考生想找到的選項;

　　第三步：迅速找到定位段落，重點關注定位段落的段落中心句和轉折等邏輯關系后的內容，因為推理引申題的答案一般的對文章或是段落中心句的同義替換;

　　第四步：在時間允許的情況下，明確該題你所排除的選項的錯誤之處，進而進一步確定你所選答案是否正確。因為考研閱讀選的是最佳答案，考生最好是在全面衡量四個選項之后確定這個答案。

　　三、判斷、推理和引申原則有兩種題型：

　　1)三正一誤結構

　　要求考生判斷哪一個選項與文章不符。檢驗答案時有兩種方式，一是正確選項所給的信息在文中根本沒有提到過，二是正確選項所給信息與文中其他內容相互沖突。

　　例2：

　　With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporations news coverage, as well as listening to it。

　　And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio stations. They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, childrens programmes and films for an annual license fee of ￡83 per household。

　　It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 yearsyet the BBC s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain。

　　The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBCincluding ordinary listeners and viewersto say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBCs royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes。

　　Defenders of the Corporationof whom there are manyare fond of quoting the American slogan If it aint broken, don t fix it。 The BBC aint broke， they say, by which they mean it is not broken ， so why bother to change it?

　　Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channelsTV and Channel 4were required by the Thatcher Governments Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channelsfunded partly by advertising and partly by viewers subscriptionswhich will bring about the biggest changes in the long term。

　　In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?

　　[A] Extension of its TV service to Far East。

　　[B] Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate。

　　[C] Potentials for further international co- operations。

　　[D] Its existence as a broadcasting organization。

　　綜上所述一正三誤與三正一誤結構，我們可得出例題中的答案分別為D，C。

　　2)一正三誤

　　要求考生找出四個選項中惟一正確的一個，檢驗答案時要注意這種題型最常采用的

　　三種命題方式是：正話反說、反話正說和關鍵詞替換。

　　舉例說明

　　1997年第64題：

　　No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of nation. Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers? Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well? At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. Its a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line。

　　At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the companys mountainous debt, which will increase to $17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently。

　　The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company s rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-Ts violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. The test of any democratic society, he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We wont retreat in the face of any threats。

　　Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month s stockholders meeting, Levin asserted that music is not the cause of societys ills and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the balanced struggle between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music。

　　The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter. Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited, says Luce. I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this。

　　The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that。

　　[A] Luce is a spokesman of Time Warner

　　[B] Gerald Levin is liable to compromise

　　[C] Time Warner is united as one in the face of the debate

　　[D] Steve Ross is no longer alive
