Contrast evidence types, reasoning, or assumptions across passages.
Look at the type of evidence and reasoning each author uses, not just their final claim.
核心知识
Focus on how each author builds their argument — what kind of evidence they use, what they assume, or what logical approach they take — not just what they conclude.
深入理解
These questions shift focus from what the authors argue to how they argue.
- Compare the support: one author may use experimental data, while another uses historical examples, textual analysis, personal accounts, logic, or analogy.
- What to check: two authors can reach the same conclusion and still differ in evidence, reasoning, or assumptions.
- Trap: do not swap which author uses which kind of support.
示例解析
Text 1:
In letters to her editor, the novelist described the final chapter as "the only honest ending possible," indicating that the protagonist's departure was meant to represent liberation, not loss. Reading the ending as tragic misses the author's stated intention.
Text 2:
Regardless of what the novelist may have intended, the imagery in the final chapter — the empty house, the fading light, the discarded belongings — evokes loss and abandonment. A text's meaning is shaped by its language, not by external statements about purpose.
Which choice best describes how the evidence used in Text 2 differs from the evidence used in Text 1?
