如何做“划线部分在文章中的作用”这种题呢？个人觉得第一步，也是最重要的一步就是找到“结论”。只有知道什么是“结论，conclusion”，才能知道划线句子是support还是identity还是provide。我的问题来了，就是我不知道该如何找到文章中的结论。下面是我从og12找的一些题，能通过这些题，帮忙解决一下我的这个问题（如何确定文章的结论）吗？

97 Delta products, Inc., has recently switched at least partly from older technologies using fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. The question has been raised whether it can be concluded that for a given level of output, Delta’s operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did formerly. The answer, clearly, is yes, since the amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount needed to power the older technologies, provided that the level of output is held constant.

In the argument given, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?

A.The first identifies the content of the conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.

B.The first provides support for the conclusion of the argument; the second identifies the content of that conclusion.

C.The first states the position that the argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument.

D.Each provides evidence that calls the conclusion of the argument into question.

E.Each provides support for the conclusion of the argument.

答案是b

89．Since it has become known that several of a bank's ' top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank's depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced-impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
(A) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second gives a reason for questioning that support.
(B) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second states a contrary conclusion that is the main conclusion of the argument.
(C) The first provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second states that conclusion.
(D) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.
(E) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second provides evidence in support of the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.

答案是a

关键要看在这段话中，作者主要想告诉读者什么，这就是作者的结论，而结论，必然是陈述作者本人的观点。
所以我们要做的第一步，就是把观点和事实分离，其中事实是不可辩驳不可推翻的，任何一个可以辩驳的事实，都是因为信息的不完整性，而观点，则是属于作者本人的，可以推翻的。
就这道题目而言，第一句是个事实，第二句提出问题，第三句 The answer, clearly, is yes, 是观点，因为完全可以辩驳说不是，后面的since...(做到这里我觉得你可能搞错划线部分了吧。。。去翻了一下OG12，果然---第二个黑体应该是for a given...did formerly)。继续说，后面的since表示提出结论的证据，所以可见，只有一个地方是观点，那么这个必然就是结论。
这个结论是回答第二个黑体字部分的问题的，所以第二个黑体字部分就是identifies the content of that conclusion. 然后你再看第一个黑体字，对结论是支持作用呢，还是削弱作用，这个应该很好判断了。。。
写的比较详细，其实真正做的时候还是很快的，欢迎拍砖~~

Since it has become known that several of a bank's ' top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank's depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced-impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.
这道题目是一样的，作者本人的观点只有一个Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic
然后别人的观点是：those worrisome rumors must be false

然后要注意这里选项中出现了a conclusion,这个a conclusion和main conclusion不同，它既可能是作者观点，也可能是别人的观点，反正是观点就行。
黑体两个部分都不是观点，所以B，C肯定排除了，D，E中的as a whole就限定了必然是作者观点而不是别人观点，而第一个黑体其实是一个反对作者观点的证据，所以D，E也可以排除了，然后验证一下A，正好符合。。

很精辟

provide support是证据的作用那identify the content of the conclusion是什么意思呢
