每做完一道题，都问孩子同一个问题：原文里哪些词能证明这个答案？

推断题问的是文本暗示了、却没有明说的内容，正确答案是孩子能用文中线索证明的选项。ACER联合考试定于2027年2月27日，面向入读七年级或八年级的学生。

推断是孩子根据线索得出的结论。文本从没直接说出来，但线索指向得很明确，这就是最合理的理解。
Sam把信封递过桌子时双手发抖，始终不肯抬头。**Sam对信封里的东西感到紧张。**文中没有出现"紧张"这个词，是发抖的手和低垂的眼睛表现出来的。
推断题常用这样的字眼：suggests（暗示）、most likely（最可能）、implies（意味着）、best explanation（最好的解释）。任何人文材料都可能出推断题，因为ACER要求孩子对小说、非虚构文本、诗歌、漫画、图表和地图进行批判性思考。
最重要的习惯：每个推断都必须有孩子能指出来的依据。
重读这些句子，以及前后的句子。线索可能就在引文的旁边。
嘴上说"没事"却摔门的人，并不是没事。反常的举动和反常的措辞都有原因。
可靠的推断不会只靠某个词撑着。如果支持某个选项的只有孤零零的词，就再找找。
划掉需要文中没给出的事实的选项，也划掉和原文矛盾的选项。剩下的就是答案。
题目的问法会告诉孩子去哪里找。认出问法，再对照下表，就知道线索藏在文中哪个位置，不必每道题都把整个故事重读一遍。
最后这类最难。结尾可能改变前面线索的意思：看起来在讲输赢的故事，最后可能是在讲善意。
| 题目这样问 | 真正想问的是 | 去哪里找 |
|---|---|---|
| Why does … do this? | 某个举动背后的动机 | 举动之前的内容，以及别人的反应 |
| This suggests that … | 某个细节透露了人物或处境的什么 | 先看细节本身，再看整个场景 |
| … is most likely … | 某人的感受或想法 | 他们说的话、说话的方式、没说出口的部分 |
| What is the best explanation? | 哪种理解能符合所有线索 | 整篇文本，包括结尾 |
这几道题基于我们编写的短篇故事。表兄妹俩参加定向越野，年长的那个一向拿着地图，今天却把地图交了出去。
题目由易到难。每道题都附有答案和讲解，和孩子一起读题、看讲解，找出证明答案的线索。题目和解析均为英文。
Akash had held the map at every orienteering event Rosa could remember. He was fifteen, he folded it into a neat square with the route facing up, and he never once asked her opinion. So when he handed it to her at the start of the Pine Creek course and said, "Your turn," she looked at it as though it might bite.
The first four controls went well. Rosa found the orange-and-white flags beside a fallen log, at the corner of a fence and on top of a small rocky rise. Each time, she punched the card and said, "Easy," a little louder than she needed to.
Control five was in a gully. Rosa chose a path that seemed to head the right way and set off at a jog. After a few minutes Akash glanced at the compass hanging around his neck. Then he stopped, crouched and began retying his left shoelace, which had been tied perfectly a moment earlier.
Rosa waited, bouncing on her toes, and looked at the map again because there was nothing else to do. The creek should have been on her right. It was on her left. The ground should have been going down. It was going up.
She turned the map around twice and felt her face go hot. "We need to go back to the fence," she said.
"Do we?" said Akash, standing up. "Okay."
They lost ten minutes. They found control five, then six, then seven, where a group of runners who had started well after them were already punching their cards.
At the finish, Aunt Meera asked how it had gone. Akash took off his cap and wiped his forehead. "Rosa navigated the whole course," he said. "Every control."
Rosa opened her mouth to mention the gully, the creek on the wrong side, the ten lost minutes. Then she saw that Akash was looking at her, not at his mother, and she closed it again.
On the drive home she asked if she could have the map next time too. He said that depended on whether she could remember which side of the path the creek belonged on, and she threw her empty drink bottle at him.
Why does Akash stop to retie a shoelace that was already tied?
答案: A
答案：A（He is giving Rosa a reason to stop and check the map for herself.） Akash 先看了一眼指南针，说明他发现路线不对。鞋带本来“tied perfectly”，重新系只是停下来的借口。Rosa 等他的时候，因为“there was nothing else to do”又看了一次地图，自己发现了错误。他让她停下来，却没有直接说她错了。答案是 A。 其他选项为什么不对
At each of the first four controls, Rosa says "Easy," "a little louder than she needed to". This suggests that she
答案: D
答案：D（is trying to sound more confident than she had felt at the start） 出发时 Rosa 看地图的样子“as though it might bite”，说明她很紧张。她说“Easy”时声音比需要的大，是在给自己（也给 Akash）打气。故意放大的声音说明她是在装出信心，而不是路线真的很简单。答案是 D。 其他选项为什么不对
When Rosa says they need to go back, Akash replies, "Do we? Okay." He is most likely
答案: B
答案：B（pretending not to know, so that the decision stays Rosa's） Akash 看过指南针，又故意停下来，所以他早就知道走错了。他问“Do we?”，是让 Rosa 觉得是她自己发现了问题、自己做了决定。平静的一句“Okay”也是顺着她的决定，而不是吃惊。答案是 B。 其他选项为什么不对
At the finish, Rosa opens her mouth to mention the gully, then closes it again. What is the best explanation?
答案: C
答案：C（She sees that Akash is deliberately giving her the credit, and accepts it.） Rosa 注意到 Akash “looking at her, not at his mother”。他这句话其实是说给 Rosa 听的：他知道她走错过，却有意把功劳让给她。Rosa 把嘴闭上，就是接受了这份好意。回家路上他拿小溪开玩笑，也说明他清楚她错在哪里。答案是 C。 其他选项为什么不对
留意线索是怎样层层叠加的。看指南针、系本来就系好的鞋带、平静的回答、终点时的那个眼神，全都指向同样的方向。所以对一直记着这些线索的孩子来说，最后那道题反而最容易。
下面的陷阱都来自Rosa和Akash的故事。一起看讲解时，问问孩子起初觉得哪个选项对，它是哪个陷阱，原文哪一行本可以帮忙避开。
推断题并不要求绝对确定。Most likely和best explanation的意思是：正确答案的依据最充分，而不是其他选项完全不可能。
阅读能力强的孩子也可能在这里失分：因为文中没明说就否定了正确选项，转而选了重复原文字眼的错误选项。重复原文的词不等于证据。更好的问法是："线索指向哪个选项？"
ACER表示其考试有意设计得有难度，孩子会在推断题上感受到这一点。几个选项看起来都说得通时，能解释更多线索的那个更好。
把它融入日常聊天。一起读书或看节目时，停下来问问孩子，这个人物现在是什么感受，又是怎么知道的。
关键在后面那个问题。孩子能用细节支持的答案都可以接受；说不出依据的，就温和地追问。
对话多的故事是很好的材料，因为人物不一定把真实想法说出来。ACER的建议是广泛阅读，批判性思考，广泛阅读正好直接锻炼这项技能。
四道例题教的是方法，完整的人文部分才能看出孩子能不能在计时下用上它。练习测试1（Practice test 1）有按ACER时间设置的完整人文部分，做完后按技能分列的结果会显示推断题是否在丢分（练习测试在英文应用中进行）。
App里的推断课程有互动版（Interactive）和笔记（Notes），技能练习可以专门针对推断做简短练习，课程和应用界面为英文。其他题型见人文样题页面。
练习测试1会批改每一道题，并按技能显示结果：孩子已经掌握的部分，以及接下来要练的三项技能。
