考研英语二阅读技巧之实验调查论据和论点的识别

实验调查论据的识别比较简单，可以借助一些比较明显的标志词，如study， research，survey，experiment,exercise。当句子中出现这样的标志词时，我们基本确定这就是实验调查论据了。同学们对于实验调查论据的识别不会出现问题，难点在于论点的推出。

按照实验报告的写作思路，实验报告按照实验对象，操作过程，实验内容，实验结果，最终得出结论。所以实验的结果是在实验调查论据的后面得出的，比如2017年英语二阅读的27题，根据题干中的food-testing exercise，定位到了文章中的第二段Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family. Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention. 实验的结论在后面的句子中出现，也是我们解题的定位句，即研究人员发现使用手机设备的母亲与孩子的言语和非言语的互动减少，由此选定选项D reduce mother-child communication在这个题目中，识别出试验调查论据之后，是利用往后面找实验结论来解题。严格来讲，实验后面的句子是实验结论，并不是作者的观点。从理论上看，作者的观点可以与实验结论一致，也可以与实验结论相反
