Question

A college student has turned the act of telling someone off into an art form. Lama Ali, who attend school in Virginia, had three final assignments due on the same day for her fashion drawing class. Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight, the 20-year-old decided to include a message in American Sign Language to her professor:

When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write “you got me fucked up” in sign language on your final piece.

——Shawty Arabia(@LemAli23) December 7,2016

“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聋哑字母表), which uses signs for each letter, rather than for the words themselves.

“Honestly the idea just came to me while I was finishing up the piece,” Ali told The Huffington Post.” I was looking at it and thought, ‘This could really use something else’. And then the idea struck me: Why not secretly express how I was feeling while struggling at the library at 4 a. m.?”

Once the fashion design major had finished her masterpiece, she posted it to Twitter on Dec. 7, where it has received over 113,000likes and 48,000 retweets (转发).

Ali, who does not know ASL, told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment.

“You know it’s bad when you have to learn a whole other language to express how done you are,” she said. “I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message. Someone on Twitter even did the good work of circling them in the painting.

Ali told HuffPost that when she finally presented the piece to her professor in her class, he absolutely loved it.

“Most of my friends in class actually knew about the secret message, so I was really surprised when no one laughed or blew my cover during critique(评论).” She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述了Ali因做了七个小时的作业之后，有感而发在邮件里写下You got me fucked up，没想到这封信受到很多关注。

1. 句意猜测题。根据第一段Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight和When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write “you got me fucked up”可知，七个小时的作业之后精疲力竭，这句话是指你把我累坏了，与B选同义，故选B。

2. 推理判断题。根据文中“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聋哑字母表)和“I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message.可知，Ali的灵感来自于a post on Tumblr，故选C。

3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.可知，尽管她的邮件已经很受关注，但教授对此信息还不知情，故选C。

4. 细节推理题。根据第四段中Ali, who does not know ASL, told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment.可知，Ali是因为特殊的作业自学了一点美国手势语，故选C。

推理判断题的常见考查形式及解题方法：

推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

一、常见的推理判断题的考法：

1)推测作者写作目的或意图。

2)推测文章的观点或结论。文章第30小题根据最后一段She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.可知尽管她的邮件已经很受关注，但教授对此信息还不知情，故选C.

3)推断文章出处。

4)是非判断题。

5)逻辑排序题。

二、推理判断题的解题方法 ：

推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。比如文章第29小题根据文中“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聋哑字母表)和“I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message.可知Ali的灵感来自于a post on Tumblr，故选C.

任何一篇文章都有其特定的写作目的，读者应当知道如何去做或按照某种方式传递思考问题。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分－推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分－推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。
