Question

As we neared the last days of my mom’s life, I wanted to understand what she was feeling and seeing. The day before she took her last breath I decided to ask her.

    First I wanted to make sure she could comprehend what I was saying. I told her I loved her, and she raised her eyebrows in acknowledgment. Then I shared a funny story about a conversation my sister and I had. The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. I could tell that she was taking in every word. And then I went for it.

   “Mom, can I ask you a serious question?” She turned her head and opened her eyes fully. I could tell she wanted to grasp every word that came out of my mouth.

   “Mom, do you see any of our dead relatives in the room? Do you see your dad?” she shook her head.

   “Do you see your mom?” She shook her head again.

“Do you see dad?” Her response was quite different this time. She began nodding her head.

   “Is he here in this room right now?” She nodded. “Can he see me?” She nodded again. Then she tried to communicate with words, but she couldn’t get the words out. The next morning she died peacefully...

   A few weeks ago, I was wondering why I haven’t had many dreams of my mom since she died. That night I had one of the clearest dreams I’ve had for a long time. Mom was dressed beautifully. She stared at me with a huge smile. Her eyes were bright and full of life. She was happier than I had seen her in years. And she was younger. We didn’t exchange any words, but it was clear that she was happy and free.

   I woke up with joy in my heart.

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。

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25小题问作者第二段做的事情的目的是真么，根据第一段I wanted to understand what she was feeling and seeing.和第二段First I wanted to make sure she could comprehend what I was saying.可知，作者问母亲这些问题是为了看看母亲是否能听到她的话及听完后的反应，故选C。26小题问母亲逝世前一天怎么样，根据第三、四、五、六、七段的描述可知，作者的每个问题，母亲都用肢体语言回应，故选D。

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。
