知识点 2

Draw reasonable inferences supported by textual evidence.

Build an inference from concrete clues, not from guesswork.

核心知识

A strong inference is one small step beyond the text. If you cannot point to the clues that support it, the answer goes too far.

深入理解

Inference questions still live in the passage. Combine two or three concrete details, then choose the answer that stays closest to them.

Use this clue chain:

  1. Identify the details the passage or figure actually gives.
  2. Ask what those details support together.
  3. Reject choices that sound plausible in real life but are not licensed by the text.

Plausible is not enough. Supported wins.
