　　2021考研英語閱讀出題點：引用處

　　說明文或者議論文中經(jīng)常引用他人的觀點來支持論證作者自己的觀點。引文既可以是從正面來支持自己的觀點，也可以是通過駁斥反面觀點從而論證自己的觀點。因此，引文間接地表達了作者自己的觀點，有一定的隱蔽性和迷惑性，所以也是出題考查的熱點地區(qū)，通常會考查考生的推理能力和對作者態(tài)度觀點的判斷能力。具體出現(xiàn)位置往往是第一段的第一句話。

　?、?To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, “all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.” ② One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. ③ Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. ④ Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. ⑤ Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
