职称英语考试：题型详解阅读判断题
阅读判断题是一种比较新的题型。它考查应试者判断识别文章所提供的信息的能力。考试方式为，给出一篇300～450词的短文，根据短文列出7个句子，有的句子提供了正确的信息，有的句子提供了错误的信息，有的句子的信息在短文中并未直接或间接提及，要求应试者根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。
与传统正误判断题的做法不同的是，该题型增加了一个选项，这样就降低了猜测的因素，增加了题目的难度，提高了题目的区分度。上面讲到，这种题型的考点是考查应试者判断识别文章所提供的信息的能力。但注意这里所指的"信息"，既有文章中明示的信息，也有藏在字里行间中的信息，即隐含信息，因此，考生在做这部分题目时，需要仔细阅读。请看下例：
Hercules Once upon a time there was a great Greek hero， Hercules. He was taller and stronger than anyone you have ever seen. On his shoulder he carried a club and in his hand he held a bow (弓)。 He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures.
Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens (歌女)。 But no one knew where the garden was.
So Hercules went away. He walked the whole day and the next day and the next. He walked for months before he saw mountains far in the distance one fine morning. One of the mountains was in the shape of a man， with long， long legs and arms and huge shoulders and a huge head. He was holding up the sky. Hercules knew it was Atlas， the Mountain God. So he asked him for help.
Atlas answered， "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you？"
Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples， he said， "Well， you are going to carry the mountain for ever. Im going to see the king with the apples." Hercules knew that he couldnt fight him because of the sky on his back， So he shouted：
"Just one minutes help. My shoulders are hurting， Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders."
Atlas believed him. He threw down the apples and held up the sky.
Hercules picked up the apples and ran back to see the king.
