命题人员编写态度题时，有两个方面，要么考查读者对全文态度的把握情况，要么考查读者对局部态度的把握情况。全文态度题，是指作者对全文论点谈论对象的态度；局部态度题，是指作者对文章中那些非论点谈论对象的态度，或者是指除作者以外的其他人对于论点谈论对象或非论点谈论对象的态度。辨别作者的态度，是检查考生运用语言知识、语篇知识、进行综合判断和归纳推理的一个重要方面。

5、词汇题
词汇（Vocabulary）试题是研究生阅读理解测试中的主要题型之一。严格说来，此类试题也在就细节提问，要求对文章中的某个单词、短语甚至句子等找出近义词、近义结构或最合适的解释。由于解答这类试题需要学生拥有较大的词汇量，因此，很多考生在准备过程，甚至在考试过程，产生了畏惧心理。其实，做阅读理解试题时遇到生词是不可避免的，因为阅读理解试题除了测试考生的阅读速度和理解能力外，还测试考生对词汇的掌握程度。
阅读理解中测试的生词通常有两种类型：低频词和高频词的冷僻义项。低频词指那些使用频度较低的单词，对这些词的检测旨在测试考生的单词量，是对词汇广度的检测；高频词的冷僻义项，也可称“熟词新义”，指的是我们经常使用的单词中，它的有些义项我们用得较少，对这些词的检查旨在测试考生对单词深度的掌握情况。
