在考纲中，规定考生掌握区分论点论据的关系这一能力，也就是能够掌握论点论据之间的语义关系以及位置关系。那么怎么来解这道题呢?首先在解题之前，因为阅读考察题型较多，每个题型会有相应的解题方法，因此我们在做题之前必须识别题型，确定该题是例证题，后续才用相应的方法去解决该类题型。
那么，一般例证题怎么进行提问呢?我们可以总结成一句中文：该例子被用来证明什么。在这句中文里面，我们需要了解这句中文当中需要掌握的英文表达，例子：example，case，quotation或者直接是该例子的英文名称;用来：use，mention，cite;证明：show，illustrate，demonstrate等。能够识别题型后，就进入到解题步骤。如果要解决例证题，我们需要了解论点和论据的关系，尤其是位置关系能够帮助我们解题。题干当中提及的是例子，因此我们可以根据题干的例子定位到文中对于例子的描述，但是这里需要注意的是题干中并不是针对于例子的内容进行提问，而是提问例子证明的是什么，也就是观点。因此该题我们应该找到该例子证明的观点，根据我们的行文逻辑，观点会在例子前面给出，再给一个例子进行解释说明。在这里注意一下干扰项经常会以例子里面的内容出现。接下来我们将通过一个例题来进行解释说明。
例1(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，问的是用John Dane的例子来证明什么，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，从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. 由这句话对应选项我们可以找到A选项即为我们的正确答案。
再总结一下例证题的解法：
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。
但是需要注意的是，例子里面出现的信息常常作为干扰项出现。
