14、高。2、一般来说，indifferent不会正确选项，因为作者如果对一个事件漠不关心、就不会专门撰文。另外，向cynical, disgust, deperate等词语如果出现也不会是正确选项，因为一般考研阅读理解所选的文章不会带有如此强烈的情感，如谩骂、攻击等。3、如果作者开篇就提出了一个观点，而全文中有没有转折和对比的内容，一般来说作者对这个观点持支持态度。4、如果作者开篇提出一个观点或者引述了别人的观点，而后文出现重要的转折，对上述观点进行批评后者否定，那么作者自己的观点往往与开头提出的观点相反。5、如果选项中出现了一对反义词，那么正确答案往往是这对反义词中的一个，考生可以忽略其余两个选项。6、总结历年的文章，我们发现在关于社会科学和人文科学的文章中，一般来说如果作者都会有支持的态度；在关于自然科学的文章中，作者的态度则经常是objective, analytical等。情感态度题干扰答案选项的特点1、选项没有体现作者的观点，甚至是相反的意思。2、选项
