2014年text3就是一篇转折型文章。
文章首段内部没有转折，一气呵成，首段最后一句话就是要提出的一个初步观点(如下段下划线部分)：
The US$3 million Fundamental Physics is indeed an interesting experiment, as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March….These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science. (这些捐助者说，自己在他们的领域很成功，并且他们想使用他们的财富来吸引那一些在科学领域取得成就的人。)
文章第二段一开始就明显地提出了不同意见，即不太赞成首段的这个观点：有很多东西是买不到的。具体如下：
What’s not to like? Quite a lot, according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature. You cannot buy class, as the old saying goes, and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels.(有什么不同意的吗?有很多，根据《News Feature》所引用的大量科学家的观点。正如古语所说，你不能购买阶层，这些创业暴发户也不能购买诺贝尔奖的荣誉作为奖励)
3-4段都是顺接，支持第二段提出的质疑。
最后一段出现了转折：
转折：As much as some science may complain about the new awards, two things seem clear. First, … Second,…. It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism- that is the culture of research, after all-but it is the prize-givers’ money to do with as they please. It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.
从下划线来看，作者态度从质疑转向了肯定，不过就是很隐晦，得仔细阅读。总之，末段否定了第2段开头时的观点，肯定首段观点。
小结：文章结构
首段观点；二段质疑；中间段支撑质疑；末段转为肯定首段观点。
这个结构是经典的文章结构。小伙伴们谨记!
▶对应态度题的速解技巧
一般出现转折的文章会设计一道态度题，专门考查学生是否看懂了文章怪来拐去的观点。解题时，无需全文回看，只需要把握好发生转折发生的几个关键地方即可。
35、The author believes that the new awards are
[A] unworthy of public attention.
[B] subject to undesirable changes .
[C] harmful to the culture of research.
[D] acceptable despite the criticism.
此题ABC都是贬义，D为褒义。根据末段的转折，对于new award的态度为肯定，即迅速判断选D。
