在讨论阅读理解的解题技巧之前,我们有必要讨论一下阅读的步骤。通常我们在阅读的时候是分三步走的,具体操作如下:
第一步,略读短文,把握主旨。
拿到文章后,首先略读短文,重点关注第一段和最后一段以及每段的第一句话。因为文章的主题常在第一段,结论常在最后一段,而各段的主题句往往在句首。这样做的目的是掌握短文的主旨大意,做到对全文的结构、内容有所把握,做到有方向地思考。
第二步,浏览问题,定关键词。
浏览全部问题,明确考查的内容,确定每题的关键词。因为对考查的内容有了分析,所以阅读时可以有选择地精读、跳读甚至不读。这样有针对性地对文章进行阅读,可做到有的放矢,提高阅读速度的同时也能保证正确率。
第三步,分析判断,解答试题。
接下来就可以对问题逐一解答。对选项的判断必须以文章内容为基础,不能脱离文章的意思。如果文章内容涉及自己熟悉的知识或题材,一定要避免自己的主观判断。
需要注意的是:如果时间紧迫,可以考虑将问题浏览、确定关键词放在第一步,以关键词作为引导,对文章进行略读、跳读和相应的精读,快速地找到问题的答案。
尽管各类各级英语考试中,阅读理解的所选题材越来越广泛,包罗万象,但是所选用的体裁和题型的设置却是相对稳定的。熟悉各种题型及其应试策略,可以提高阅读理解的速度和正确率。
一般来说,阅读理解的题型可以分为主旨大意题、事实细节题、推理判断题、词/语义理解题、观点态度题五类。下面将针对这五类题型,进行提问规律和解题技巧分析。
一、主旨大意题
所谓主旨大意题是指对文章的中心思想或主要写作内容进行发问的题目。这类题型考查对文章进行概括或总结的能力,要求必须搞清楚文章的结构层次,找出主题句,能够提炼文章的中心思想,了解作者的主要写作意图。
(一)提问规律
主旨大意题的提问方式多种多样,常见的形式如下 :
A.What is the best title for this passage?
B.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
C.A proper title for this passage would be…
D.The best title for the passage might be…
E.Which could be the best title for the passage?
F.What is the main purpose of this passage?
G.What is the passage mainly about?
H.The passage is mainly about...
I.The main idea of the passage is that...
J.What's the topic of...
K.What's the purpose of...
L.What's the point of...
M.What does the passage mainly talk about?
N.What does the writer want to tell us?
(二)解题技巧
解答主旨大意题的关键是要确定文章有无主题句,以及主题句在文章中的位置。
段落的构成有其内在的规律,了解并掌握这些规律,能够帮助我们迅速找出主题句,从而明确中心思想。这种规律主要是通过主题句在段落中所处的位置来体现的。文章的主题句通常位于首段或尾段,偶尔也会出现在文章的中间段落。段落的主题句通常位于段首或段尾,有时也在段落的中间。需要注意的是:如果主旨大意题出现在第一题,可以考虑先把后面的题做完,再回头做第一题,这样可以节省很多时间。
请看下面几种主题句在文章中出现的情况(文中的主题句用下划线标出)。
1.主题句在首段
主题句在首段的文章多用演绎法撰写,以概述开篇,然后辅以细说。这样布局的文章出现的频率最高,据研究阅读理论与技巧的专家们统计,概率达到70%。请看下例:
例文1-3-1
Welcome to our small business set-up guide,providing all the information you need to start your business on a healthy,solid basis.
From choosing the right name for your company and making your first business plan,through to up-to-date taxation(税务)advice,banking and insurance tips,each subject is discussed in the guide.
We also look at the vital characteristics you'll need to survive in business.Determination and originality(原创性)are key.Equally,so is the ability to organize your time and to put in the required effort during the early days.
As with any new business,success can never be guaranteed,but our aim is to reduce the difficulties involved in setting up a business on your own.We'll forewarn you of the most common problems,including failure to research your market in sufficient detail and not setting aside enough funds for tougher financial times.
Starting up even the smallest business can be challenging.But take comfort in the fact that you are not alone.In fact,of the four million businesses currently in operation in the UK,more than 99.3%are classified as"small"with fewer than 50 employees.
In order to keep this guide as brief as possible,where we've not had enough room to include every detail,you'll find a link taking you to the most relevant(相关的)articles.
Good luck with your business idea!
(2010年6月A级考试真题)
这篇文章的首段明确说明了文章的主题,即告知大家自己能为小企业提供创业指导服务信息。随后便详细说明服务信息的种类,让需要相关信息的创业者对相关内容有所了解。
2.主题句在尾段
主题句在尾段的文章通常使用归纳法撰写,先陈述细节或论据,最后用总结性的句子收尾,作出结论。这种谋篇布局的方法多用于阐述一个不常见的或难以令人接受的观点,或者旨在使读者信服其论点的文章。
例文1-3-2
Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands.Some bosses are hard to get along with.Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people.Of course,not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder.Your boss is not only your leader,he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do.He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives.He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management.But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication.Learn and understand his goals and priorities(优先的事).Observe and understand your boss's work style.If he has not been clear with his expectations,ask!Likewise,ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully.And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5,he may be more likely to help you.
In short,getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.

这篇文章从老板的风格差异出发,谈论了与老板关系的重要性及与老板建立良好关系的方法,最后一段归纳总结:要与老板处理好关系就要知道老板的好恶,并根据他的个性与管理风格行事。
3.主题句在文章的中部
主题句出现在文章中部的情况较少。这类文章首先以一个或几个句子为主题句作铺垫,然后引出主题句,之后提供一定数量的句子来陈述细节或者给予例证。文章通常以“引题—主题思想—陈述细节或给予例证”的层次展开。
例文1-3-3
An ebook(also referred to as an electronic book,eBook,or e-book)is a digital version(版本)of a print book that you download and read.But if you want to read an ebook,you must have an Ebook Reader,which is a kind of free software used by your computer.Make sure you have installed the appropriate Reader before you download your ebook from the Internet.The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options(计算机屏幕上的阅读选择).Ebooks are a fun alternative to regular books.You can download them to any computers and create your own library of hundreds of titles.If you load them onto your portable computer,you can take them with you when you travel.Some ebooks are even interactive!Best of all,when you order an ebook,there is no waiting and no shipping charges.The amount of time it takes to download your ebook depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your ebook.

本段文字中间画线的这句话是主题句,它的行文顺序与写作方法正好符合上述的文章发展层次。
二、事实细节题
事实细节题是指原文中提到了某信息,如时间、地点、人物、原因、结果、条件、现象等,选项就针对原文叙述的内容发问。
这类题目考查的是对文章内容的把握情况,即对文章的理解是否全面、透彻和对重要事实和细节的辨认与记忆能力。对于这类问题,多数文章都比较明显地提供了事实和细节,其答案必定在文章论述范围之内。读者需要通过精读的方法,找出文章中能作为依据的单词或句子,接受、记忆、分析文章信息,并紧扣原文信息选择答案。
(一)提问规律
事实细节题通常有三种主要的出题形式:
(1)以Which,When,Where,Who,Why,What,How等引导的特殊疑问句;
(2)不完整的陈述法,如:All of the following are mentioned in the passage except...The author says...According to the author...等;
(3)排除式问题,如:Which of the following are NOT mentioned in the passage 或Which of the following is TRUE等。
(二)解题技巧
这种题目的解题基本策略就是带着问题从文章中寻找相关信息。
在实际阅读时,首先要仔细阅读题目,确定题目中的关键词,再利用关键词在文章中定位,找出文章中相对应的细节性句子,最后通过与选项进行对照来确定正确答案。
一般来说,正确的选项都是对原文陈述的内容进行了改写的,但是也不排除有相对简单的题目完全重复原文的内容。对题目的选项要进行细致分析,不能大意,因为3个干扰项中,有的片面;有的部分正确;有的属于相关内容,但不切合问题;有的是同义词;有的是近义词;有的是形似词。它们的误导性和迷惑性较大。
做这类题会出现几种常见错误。首先是混淆,即原文说A事物有某种特征,选项却把该特征挪到了B事物上;或者原文说某事物具有某特征,选项看似用了一个同义词来改写,实际上却是用了一个意义不同的说法来转述。其次是偏,指原文中讲了某事物很多特征,选项却只讲到一种不重要的特征。再次是反,就是选项与原文所说内容正好相反。最后是无,这是指选项所讲内容在原文中并未谈及。
在了解了几类常见错误之后,我们将讨论如何针对三种不同形式的问题来解题。
1.特殊疑问句式
这种形式的题目可以在读题之后,确定发问点,然后直接带着问题去读文章,找出相关句子,做到有针对性地阅读。在原文中找到信息之后,可考虑在其下面画线,标出题号,这样可为之后的检查节约时间。
2.不完整的陈述句式
解答这种题的关键是准确理解,因为答案与原文在字面上可能会有较大差异,有时还需要找出上下文的逻辑关系。做不完整的陈述句式题目时,解题步骤与特殊疑问句式题的步骤一致,即首先读题,找出发问点,然后带着问题读文章,最后,分析选项与原文的吻合度,找出答案。
3.排除式问题
排除法是较为有效的答题方法。做这类题时,阅读题后的选项十分重要,需要对每个选项的内容有所了解,然后再回到原文中进行阅读和判断。如果题干问哪个不正确,在阅读文章时一旦发现原文中有信息与选择项内容相同,就在这些信息下做记号,以便排除相应的选项。如某选项的内容在原文找不到对应信息,那么该选项即为答案。解答这种题目的关键是要将与原文内容一致或有关的三个选项排除,剩下的一个才是答案。如题干要求找出说法正确的一项,则需对与原文中不符的选项进行排除。
下面将通过例文分析来讨论这三种问题在实际考试中出现的情况。
例文1-3-4
What is the better way of staying away from the cold winter days?Come out to our Hall Markets in the beautiful countryside,full of color,fun,music and delicious food!With over 350 stalls(摊位)selling wonderful home-made and home-grown goods,this will surely be a great day out.
The Hall Markets are held on the first Sunday of each month from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at Hall Village.They are operated by Hartley Lifecare Co.Ltd.All the income will go to help and support service for people with disabilities(残疾).
Volunteers(志愿者)play an important part in the success and pleasant atmosphere at the Hall Markets.Hartley Lifecare is always grateful to have you serve as volunteers with the Hall Markets.
If you are interested in being one of our volunteers and spending a few hours with us each month,please contact us during business hours on 6260 5555.
(2008年12月B级考试真题)
When are the Hall Markets open?
A.The first Sunday of each month.
B.Every day from 10 am to 3 pm.
C.The first day of each month.
D.Every weekend in winter.
这是一道非常典型的特殊疑问句式题,题干以When开头,很明显在阅读文章的过程中需要重点寻找表示时间的信息,第二段的第一句话正好谈到了时间,而且正好是关于Hall Markets的开市时间,所以将答案定位于此,很快就能发现A答案正好就是这句话中的时间再现,正确答案也就找到了。
According to the passage,the Hall Markets are held________.
A.in the countryside
B.to attract volunteers
C.to promote winter sales
D.by people with disabilities
这道题的选项迷惑性很大,因为四个选项所说的内容在文章中都有出现,所以需要格外小心,不仅要从语义角度,还要从逻辑等角度来考虑,避免犯上文所述的4种常见错误。分析B选项,文章的最后两段的确谈到了志愿者招募问题,也鼓励有兴趣的人加入,但是把B选项代入题干会发现题干的意思变成了“举办Hall Markets是为了吸引志愿者”,这与原文不符。再看C选项,文章的第一段的确暗示了提升冬季销量的意思,但与B答案一样,把C选项代入题干,会发现题干的意思变成了“举办Hall Markets是为了提升冬季销量”,但根据第二段第一句话我们知道Hall Markets每月都举办,所以一定不可能只为了刺激冬季的销售量。这两个错误选项属于我们前述常见错误中的“混淆”。现在再看D选项,第二段的最后一句话说明了Hall Markets的收入都将用于帮助和支持残疾人士,而D选项填入题干却变成“Hall Markets由残疾人来举办”,这应该就是常见错误中的“反”;当然第二段第二句也明确说到Hartley Lifecare运营Hall Markets,从这我们也可以排除D。现在我们来看看A为什么正确。在第一段第二句中明确说“Come out to our Hall Markets in the beautiful countryside”,无疑A就是正确选项了。
例文1-3-5
Cars are lots of fun,but they could also be dangerous.We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car.Why?Think about this example:You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板)and give it a push.If the skateboard hits a stone,it will stop,but the egg won't.It will fly through the air,hit the ground and break.
Now,think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard.When the skateboard hits a stone,the egg won't go flying.It will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo,a famous Swedish carmaker,was the first to use seat belts in 1949.Air bags are also very important for car safety because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough.If the car is going really fast and runs into something,seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats.When a car hits something,its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second—to keep the people inside safe.
(2007年12月B级考试真题)
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.
B.Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.
C.Air bags will come out before the cars hit something.
D.All cars have air bags in front of the seats.
A选项与文章第四段第二句话中的“sometimes a seat belt isn't enough”意思相悖,可以直接排除。B选项与第四段第一句话完全相符,是本题的正确答案。而文章的最后一段谈到多数新款车在座位前部和旁边有气囊,所以 D选项说所有车在座位前有气囊是不准确的,属于细节题常见错误中的“混淆”。最后一句话告知读者,当汽车撞到东西后,气囊会在不足一秒的时间内弹出,C选项的说法与原文内容正好相反,应当排除。
三、推理判断题
推理判断题与细节性问题相似,也需要对文章的具体内容进行判断。做这类题要掌握文章的字面含义,还要运用一定的逻辑判断能力和写作技巧,体会文章的弦外之音,推理出文章的深层含义,排除、筛选各个选项,最后得出正确答案。
(一)提问规律
推理判断题通常以这样的方式出现:
(1)在题干部分出现具有暗示、判断、推理特征的词,如conclude,learn,suggest,infer(be inferred),believe等。
(2)题干部分出现下述表达方式,如“...the author probably means that...”,“...in order to show that...”,“...mainly about...”等。
(二)解题技巧
这类题目是阅读理解中比较难的一类,做题的关键是切忌主观臆断,推理必须以文章中的具体事实细节为基础。
具体来说,尽管在文章中不能直接找到答案,但是一定要在文章中找到推测的依据,再进行合理严密的推断。如果是针对某个细节进行推断,就要先找到该细节所在的句子,正确理解该句,再推断出未知的事实;如果是根据文章推测作者的观点、目的、态度和思路,就要首先明确文章的中心思想,然后根据中心思想和作者所陈述的事实与细节进行推断;如果需要推断文章中没出现的前一段或下一段的内容,就应重点分析文章的首、尾两段,特别是文章的开头句和结尾句。
例文1-3-6
Each time we produce a new English dictionary,our aim is always the same:what can we do to make the dictionary more helpful for students of English?As a result of our research with students and discussions with teachers,we decided to focus on providing more examples for this English dictionary.
Examples help students to remember the word they have looked up in the dictionary because it is easier both to remember and to understand a word within a context(上下文).The examples also show that words are often used in many different contexts.For these reasons,we have included 40 percent more examples in this new book.
We edit all the examples to remove difficult words and to make sure they are easier to understand.
We very much hope this new book will be of use not only to the students of English but also to the teachers.
(2008年12月B级考试真题)
The passage is most probably taken from________.
A.a letter to the editor
B.a comment on a novel
C.an introduction to a dictionary
D.a news-report in the newspaper
这道题虽然没有出现提问规律中所述的常见的词或表达方式,但读者必须综合考虑全文的内容,并进行准确合理的判断才能发现正确答案。从文章的行文内容我们可以看出作者正是词典的编辑,这个身份的判断我们在每一段中都能找到依据,在这就不详述了,所以A答案是错误的;其次,文章从头至尾都没出现过“novel”或与之相关的内容,所以B也可以被排除;再次,D答案说到新闻报道,但是文章中并未出现新闻报道的基本要素,即时间、地点、人物和事件,所以D答案错误;最后,因为全文的每一段都在向大家推荐一本新的词典,所以文章完全有可能是该词典的简介,C就是正确答案。
四、词/语义理解题
这类题主要考查的是对文章里的某个关键词、词组或句子等的理解,要求考生对其进行一定的分析,推测出其在文章中的特定含义。考查的侧重点不是词汇量,而是通过上下文猜测词义的能力。
(一)提问规律
此类题常见的提问方式有:
A.The word"..."in the...line of the...paragraph means .
B.The phrase"..."(Line...,Para...)means .
C.The word"..."(Line...,Para...)refers to .
D.The word"..."(Line...,Para...)most probably means .
E.The expression"..."in Paragraph...means .
F.Which of the following has the closest meaning to"..."?
G.The author uses the expression"..."to refer to.
H.The word"..."can best be replaced by.
(二)解题技巧
解这类题的最基本的方法是利用上下文进行推理判断来猜测词汇的大体意思,然后对照选项选择最接近的表达。
解这类题时需遵循如下做题顺序:首先,找到该词或短语所在的句子;接着,确定单词的词性以及单词、短语等在句子中所起的语法作用,明确整个句子的含义;然后,分析上下文,确定上下文中是否有该词的定义、同义词、近义词或反义词,从而判断出正确答案。具体说来,可以有以下几种方法:
1.根据构词法进行判断
英语中有很多词可以通过加前缀(prefix)或后缀(suffix),从而构成一个新词。初看起来,这个新词可能是生词,但如果掌握了一定的构词法,就不难判断出它的词义。
2.根据上下文解释作出判断
有时文章中出现一个需判断其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就成了做题的主要依据。
3.根据上下文的指代关系进行判断
文章中的代词it,that,he,him,them或that,these,those等对于判断问题中词语的意义有一定的提示作用。文章中代词与其指代的对象相隔较远时,要认真查找;有时需要对之前提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的对象的含义。
4.根据转折或对比关系进行判断
英语是一种形合的语言,因此可以根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise,meanwhile,furthermore等看到前后句在意义上、逻辑上的异同,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。
5.根据因果关系进行判断
根据原因可以预测结果,反之亦然。
6.根据同位关系进行判断
文章中有的新词、难词,后面是跟着一个同位语的,它对前面的词进行解释;有时文章中对于某个词的解释也可能用连词“or”连接。这些都可以成为判断词/语义的依据。
例文1-3-7
Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners.That is what Los Angeles did.Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.
This decision was suitable for Los Angeles.The city grew outward instead of upward.Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings.Instead,people live in houses with gardens.
In Los Angeles,most people drive cars to work.And every car has to have a parking space.So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.
Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD).If a city has a CBD,crowds of people rush into it every day to work.If people drive to work,they need lots of road space.
So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts.This required more roads and parking spaces.
Some people defend this growth pattern.They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.
(2007年6月B级考试真题)
"The city grew outward instead of upward"(Para.2)means________.
A.the city became more spread out instead of growing taller
B.there were fewer small houses than tall buildings
C.rapid development took place in the city center
D.many tall buildings could be found in the city
看到题目后,可迅速定位到第二段,可发现题干中的这句话是该段的第二句,在它之后的第三句中明确说到洛杉矶从不建大量的高层公寓楼(Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings.),很明显A选项中的“growing taller”不仅是题干中“upward”的同义表现,也与后一句中的“tall apartment buildings”形成呼应,而且,A选项中的“spread out”又与题干中“grew outward”同义,所以很快就能确定正确答案为A。
例文1-3-8
We've found that eating habits vary(变化)so much that it does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours.We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).
As our hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices,it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best.At lunch stops,your tour guide will show you where you can find salads,soups,and sandwiches.
Dinner time is your chance to try some local food.Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice.At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant at your hotel.Years of research have taught US which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.
In Mexico,Alaska,and the Yukon,where your restaurant choice may be limited.We include some meals.The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.
(2007年6月B级考试真题)
The word"down-to-earth"(Para.3)most probably means________.
A.changeable
B.expensive
C.reasonable
D.fixed
“down-to-earth”是一个比较典型的英语复合词,用连字符“-”将三个单词连接起来成为一个词,这个词的含义由构成它的几个词的含义组合而成。词组“down to earth”的意思是“回到现实,脚踏实地”,根据上下文和该词组的含义,可以判断出复合词“down-to-earth”的意思是“实际的,合理的”,所以C选项为正确答案。
五、观点态度题
观点态度题要求对作者的态度(attitude)、全文的基调(tone)、文章的出处(source)作出判断。
(一)提问规律
这类题目的常见提问方式有:
A.What's the tone of the passage?
B.The author's view is________.
C.The writer's attitude of this passage is apparently________.
D.What's the writer's attitude to...
(二)解题技巧
文章的体裁对观点态度的影响较大。一般来说,说明文中作者的态度是客观的(objective)或中立的(neutral);议论文中作者的观点会比较复杂。解答观点态度题时需注意:第一,文章中一些带感情色彩的词,通过它们可以推测出作者对所论述问题的态度。第二,作者对文章所论述问题的客观描述,通过这些信息可以推测出作者的看法和态度。
观点态度题中常用的选项有:positive(积极的),negative(消极的),neutral(中立的),approval(赞成的),disapproval(不赞成的),indifferent(漠不关心的),sarcastic(讽刺的),critical(批评的),optimistic(乐观的),pessimistic(悲观的)等。
例文1-3-9
As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb,a group of firearm(火器)fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association,and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.
The Constitution,said the association's spokesman,gives everyone the right to own arms.It doesn't spell out what kind of arms.But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb,the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.
Don't you think it's dangerous to have one in the house,particularly where there are children around?
The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon.We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse(导火索)separately in a drawer.
Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.The spokesman said,hydrogen bombs don't kill people—people kill people.The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect.If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house,they're going to think twice about breaking in.
But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the cabinet,with the fuse in a drawer,you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder(侵入者).
Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one.So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.
(2004年6月四级真题)
From the tone of the passage we know that the author is________.
A.doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safety
B.unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombs
C.not serious about the private ownership of H-bombs
D.concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons
文章作者分别陈述了支持私人拥有氢弹和反对私人拥有氢弹两种观点。但针对每一种观点,作者都提出了疑点。很明显,作者对靠拥有氢弹来保证家庭安全的做法是持怀疑态度的。答案为A。
