GMAT阅读题型：写作意图题.

　　我们为广大要考GMAT的同学总结了GMAT阅读题型解题方法，现在是GMAT阅读最后一种题型，即写作意图题的解题方法，希望能对大家有所帮助。

　　该题型主要考察考生对文章中具体细节信息的功能与目的的识别能力，很多考生往往在阅读中总是被细节部分的内容本身所纠缠，而忽略了作者运用这些细节内容的理由。在阅读时，理解作者提出某些内容的意图要比记住这些内容本身更重要，有些写作意图题作者在文章中并没有说出他提出某个内容是为了支持某个主张或为了某种意图，遇到此种情况，考生需要自己推断这些目的或是意图。

　　例：Cartier-Bresson has expressed his passion for portrait photography by characterizing it as“a duel without rules, a delicate rape.”Such metaphors contrast quite sharply with Richard Avedon’s conception of a sitting. While Cartier-Bresson reveals himself as an interloper and opportunist, Avedon confesses---perhaps uncomfortably---to a role as diagnostician and (by implication) psychic healer: not as someone who necessarily transforms his subjects, but as someone who reveals their essential nature.

　　The author of the passage quotes Cartier-Bresson in order to

　　(A) rute Avedon’s conception of a portrait sitting

　　(B) provide one perspective of the portraiture encounter

　　(C) support the claim that portrait sittings are, more often than not, confrontational encounters

　　(D) show that a portraiture encounter can be either bri or extended

　　(E) distinguish a sitting for a photographic portrait from a sitting for a painted portrait.

　　在文中，作者指出了Cartier-Bresson的观点与Avedon观点不同，因而我们可以从文中提供的两种观点来判定出本题的正确选项为(B)，作者援引Cartier-Bresson的目的是为了引出有关创作肖像作品时的另外一种“画者与被画者”之间新的互动观点。
