首先，要先识出具体例证题的问法。例证题的题干我们可以总结成一句中文：作者引用该例子来证明什么，或者该例子被引用来说明什么。在这句中文里面，我们发现有些中文是固定的，因此我们可以了解这些中文的英文表达，例子：research，example，instance，case，quotation或者直接是该例子的英文名称;用来：cite，mention，use;证明：explain，illustrate，show，demonstrate等。

能够识别题型后，就可以尝试解题。我们发现，题干提问的是例子证明的内容是什么，而在学术性议论文里面，例子就是论据，论据证明的内容就是论点。因此这个题可以简而言之归纳为找论据证明的论点。那大家可以想一下，论点句和论据句的位置关系。其实包括我们自己在写议论文时，论点和论据的关系也是论点一般在前面，在后面再用论据去解释说明。因此，我们可以利用题干中的论据去定位到原文，再往前一步找到该论据证明的论点。因此例证题的解法可以归纳为：1.定位例子在文章中出现的位置;2.在例子前找到观点，用观点句对应选项即可。接下来用例子来感受一下：

例1(英一2009年 text 4)

39. The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often ______.

[A] influenced by superstitions

[B] troubled with religious beliefs

[C] puzzled by church sermons

[D] frustrated with family earnings

We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality.A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in Puritan churches.

观察该题，问的是story of John Dane的例子表明什么，因此符合我们例证题的一个问法。那我们先找到例子在文章哪里出现，A tailor named John Dane, 这里出现我们知道应该是开始描述例子的内容，那么观点往前面找一句： Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality.用这句话直接对应选项，发现A选项的superstitions跟原文superstitious可以对应，因此可以选择A选项。

总而言之，例证题遵循着比较固定的解题思路，定位也比较好找，一般会有明显的例子标志词，再用例子前的观点句对应，对应句也不会很难理解，可以尝试着用原词或者同义词去对应。因此，例证题作为我们必得分的题型，大家可以在暑期多进行练习。
