(1999 年 Passage 5)
The author implies that the results of scientific research .
[A] may not be as profitable as they are expected
[B] can be measured in dollars and cents
[C] rely on conformity to a standard pattern
[D] are mostly underestimated by management
原句是个假设条件句，指出“假如科学实验像科学杂志登载的科学报告显示的
那样完全按事先的计划去规划和实施，那么，对管理层来说，期待研究能够产生可以
用金钱衡量的结果是完全合理的”。此处正话反说，作者的言外之意是，科学实验总
有不可预测的现象，产生的结果也难以预测，因此不能肯定有效益。[A]选项“可能不
像预料的那样有利可图”才是作者真正想要表达的含义。
Example 2
Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks to these schools our
early mechanics, especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were
generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and
trigonometry.
Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to
this educational advantage. As a member of a British commission visiting here in
1853 reported, “With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American
boy develops rapidly into the skilled workman.”(1996 年 Passage 4 )
It is implied that adaptiveness and inventiveness of the early American
mechanics .
[A] benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge
[B] shed light on disciplined school management[C] was brought about by privileged home training
[D] owed a lot to the technological development
这里第二段的首句指出：敏锐的外国观察家将美国人的适应能力和创新能力与
这个教育优势联系在一起。this 往回复指前述的最后内容，也就是前一段末句谈到的
“技工们有文化并且熟知算术、几何学、三角学”，从而可知这种教育优势就是熟练
掌握数学。因而作者暗指的意思是[A]选项“它们很大程度上得益于数学”。
推理题与暗指题虽然有许多相似之处，但是其思路与方法更侧重于推理，主要
测试考生的思维判断能力，即由已知的事实为依据去获得未知的信息。考生解题时首
先要把握推理范围——大至段落或全文，小至词语或句子;其次要严格遵循逻辑规律，
保持正确的思维过程和严密的逻辑;再次可以利用相关部分提供的事实、背景知识和常
识去推理。
干扰项的特点：根据文章中某些事实亦可以推导，然而又答非所问。
