例6. From the text we can see that the writer seems .(2002)
　　(A) optimistic (B) sensitive. (C) gloomy (D) scared.

　　第一步：看选项，排除选项中的必然不会成为正确答案的中性词；本题中没有该选项；

　　第二步：看选项，排除选项中的必然不会成为正确答案的褒义词和贬义词；因此排除B、C和D；所以这个题目应该选择A

　　本章总结：以上的例题把从1994年到2005年的有关全文情感态度题全部列举了出来，如果一种解题的方法可以使用每一年的真题，那么我们有什么理由不相信它依旧使用2006呢？在大家做各个辅导老师出的模拟题的时候必然会发现我们这里讲的方法是不能通用在模拟题中的，这个不是说我们的方法不灵了，而是那个出模拟题的人没有对真题有深入的研究，是模拟题出的质量有问题，因此大家应该批判的去做模拟题。

　　局部情感态度题

　　在我国的考研英语阅读理解试卷中局部情感态度题极为罕见。在2003年和2004年连续两年各考了2题，但是此前并没有这样的题型，而且在2005的试卷中也没有考到。这个不能说明这样的题型不重要，相反只能说明局部情感态度题是非常重要的，而且根据往年的得分统计来看，该题型得分非常低。究其原因是什么？我们先来研究这个四个题目，最后再回答这个问题。

　　一、局部情感态度题与全文情感态度题的区别

　　两者其实虽然都是情感态度题，但是在本质上他们没有什么共同之处，在全文情感态度题里所有不可能成为正确答案的选项在这里都可以成为正确答案。而且他们的解题方法没有任何共同之处。他们唯一的共同点就是都是情感态度题。

　　二、局部情感态度题的解题步骤

　　(一)根据局部对象或者局部对象的主体找出本题的出题句；

　　(二)在出题句(或称得分句)中寻找含有感情色彩的词语或句子；

　　(三)比较该感情色彩的词语或句子和四个选项，选择一个意思和该词语最为接近的选项；

　　三、局部情感态度题历年真题解析

　　例1、In recent years, railroads have been combining　with each other, merging into supersystems, causing　heightened concerns about monopoly. As recently as　1995, the top four railroads accounted for under 70　percent of the total ton-miles moved by rails. Next　year, after a series of mergers is completed, just　four railroads will control well over 90 percent of　all the freight moved by major rail carriers.　Supporters of the new super systems argue that these　mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and　better coordinated service. Any threat of monopoly,　they argue, is removed by fierce competition from　trucks. But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk　commodities traveling long distances, such as coal,　chemicals, and grain, trucking is too costly and the　railroads therefore have them by the throat.　The vast consolidation within the rail industry means　that most shippers are served by only one rail　company. Railroads typically charge such “captive”　shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when　another railroad is competing for the business.　Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the　right to appeal to the federal government's Surface　Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process　is expensive, time consuming, and will work only in　truly extreme cases.Railroads justify rate discrimination against captive　shippers on the grounds that in the long run it　reduces everyone's cost. If railroads charged all　customers the same average rate, they argue, shippers　who have the option of switching to trucks or other　forms of transportation would do so, leaving remaining　customers to shoulder the cost of keeping up the line.
　　It's theory to which many economists subscribe, but in　practice it often leaves railroads in the position of　determining which companies will flourish and which　will fail. “Do we really want railroads to be the　arbiters of who wins and who loses in the　marketplace?” asks Martin Bercovici, a Washington　lawyer who frequently represents shipper.
      Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be hit　with a round of huge rate increases. The railroad　industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortunes.　still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the　capital it must invest to keep up with its surging　traffic. Yet railroads continue to borrow billions to　acquire one another, with Wall Street cheering them　on. Consider the $10. 2 billion bid by Norfolk　Southern and CSX to acquire Conrail this year.
　　Conrail's net railway operating income in 1996 was　just $427 million, less than half of the carrying　costs of the transaction. Who's going to pay for the　rest of the bill? Many captive shippers fear that they　will, as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip　on the market.

　　52.What is many captive shippers’ attitude towards　the consolidation in the rail industry?(2003)
　　(A)Indifferent. (B) Supportive. (C) Indignant. (D)　　Apprehensive.

　　【解析】：

　　第一步：根据局部对象或者局部对象的主体找出本题的出题句；根据该题的题干，我们可以依据many　captive　shippers找到本题目的出题句(得分句)为最后一段的第一句话。

　　第二步：在出题句(或称得分句)中寻找含有感情色彩的词语或句子；在最后一段的第一句中我们找到了worry这个单词；

　　第三步：比较该感情色彩的词语或句子和四个选项，选择一个意思和该词语最为接近的选项；发现D不仅有理解的意思，还有忧虑的意思，因此本题选D；
