Example 2 原文：（首段）Feeling blue about world ? “Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.” （第二段）Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he’s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of research.（2011湖北卷63） 题目：What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book? A. Weakness of human nature. B. Concern about climate change. C. Importance of practical thinking. D. Optimism about human progress. 【精准定位】题干中有明显的定位关键点“Ridley’s most recent book”。题目问的是“the theme of…book”，我们可以定位在原文的“And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book”。“this”告诉我们答案就在上句话中。 【原文信息特征提示】1、出现人名Matt Ridley 。2、出现引语即人物观点、态度。3、出现重要符号：破折号、分号。4、出现两次重要的原因信号词because。5、出现重要指示代词this。6、出现重要的人物观点特征词：He views…as、finding。这么多特征信息词暗示必然出题。 【选项解码】原文引用Ridley的话可以概括为“要对人类的进步乐观”。另原文中的很多信息点都表明了积极乐观的一面：“Cheer up”、“The world has never been a better place to live in”、“…and it will keep on getting better…”、“optimist”、“…human progress to be both unavoidable and good”“…has done little but progress…”。且书名中也出现了重要的一词“Optimist”。A、B的错误类型：均是“消极”性信息，与原文基调不符，可以快速排除掉。C项的错误类型：原文未提及。 Example 3 原文：（第二段）It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal. （2011浙江卷50） 题目：We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______
