让人误解的阅读的反驳观念 大家好，我是字神帝国的康老师~ 昨晚阅读课中，问了同学们：John counters that… 这句子，John是支持还是反对that名词子句的内容。 几乎所有同学一致回答：反对。 不过， 真正的答案是：支持。 这的确是很重要的观念，因为阅读逻辑复杂， 不论是原文或选项的支持或反驳观点， 常常是考点，我们是绝对要弄清楚的。 我们来好好研究并学会这个点吧。 以牛津字典的解释与例子来说明 counter 反对, 反击（某人[某事物]） respond to (sb/sth) with an opposing view, a return attack, etc 例句1： They countered our proposal with one of their own. 他们针对我们的建议提出了一项相反的建议. → counter + 一般名词(物) 是直接反对 例句2： The minister countered his critics with a strong speech defending his policies. 这位部长慷慨陈词为其政策辩护, 反驳批评他的人. → counter + 一般名词(人) 还是直接反对 例句3： I pointed out the shortcomings of the scheme, but he countered that the plans were not yet finished. 我指出那方案的缺点, 但他申辩说各项计划尚未完成. → counter + that子句 是用that子句内容，来反驳上文 → 所以John counters that… 。that子句内容是John想说的内容，所以可以说是就是 支持。 再来举个阅读真题例子： Since the 1980s, experts have been claiming that the skill demands of today’ s jobs have outstripped the skills workers possess. Moss and Tilly counter that worker deficiencies lie less in job-specific skills than in such attributes as motivation, interpersonal skills, and appropriate work demeanor. 所以这句中：Moss and Tilly 内心要说的是that的句子内容：(小心不是反对that子句内 容) 劳工缺的是一些attributes特质，而非像上句experts 所宣称的是缺乏skills。 再来作一道题： 1. The passage suggests that Moss and Tilly are most likely to disagree with the “experts” (line 1) about which of the following? A Whether the skills demanded by jobs in the labor market have changed since the 1980s B Whether employers think that job-specific skills are as important as such attributes as motivation and appropriate work demeanor C Whether workers in today’s labor market generally live up to (达到) the standards and expectations of employers D Whether adequate numbers of workers in the labor market possess the particular skills demanded by various different jobs E Whether most workers are motivated to acquire new skills that are demanded by the labor market 解答：照刚刚原文所说的Moss and Tilly觉得劳工缺的是一些attributes特质，而非像上 句experts 所宣称的是缺乏skills。所以就是往skills 点去找答案。 A 不对：不是所需的技巧改变了。 B 不对：experts 跟本没提到attributes。所以不会被人反对这个点。 C 不对：跟本没说到skills。 D 正解：就是experts所说的：是否有够多的劳工拥有所需的技术。 E 不对：experts 跟本没提到motivated to。所以不会被人反对这个点。 档案下载处：https://goo.gl/0ys0Gt -- TOEFL学习团 托福JJ情报资源、问题探讨、考试情报交流 https://goo.gl/yr0NPS GMAT学习团 每月GMAT数学、阅读、逻辑机经整理、问题探讨、考试情报交流 https://goo.gl/GYbTNs --
