入门回炉：反问句的语用功能

唯一新困难：反问与语用功能

作者可能用问题推进论证。反问的字面形式是疑问，实际功能可能质疑假设、引出标准或转折。题目问作用时，不能把问题当成作者真的不知道答案。

自拟短文

A city praised its new park because visitor numbers were high. But what does a large crowd reveal about who can use the space comfortably? Counts alone cannot show whether older residents find enough seating or whether children can reach safe play areas. Evaluation must therefore include experience as well as attendance.

题目：Why does the author ask the question in the second sentence?

A. To request the exact number of visitors.
B. To challenge the assumption that crowd size fully measures accessibility.
C. To prove that nobody enjoys the park.
D. To introduce the history of urban parks.

语用还原

问题位于 praise 后、counts alone 的限制前，功能是挑战“高人流=成功且可用”的隐含假设。B 正确。

A 把修辞问题当信息请求；C 从指标不足扩大成无人享受；D 与段落推进无关。

问题后的答案

判断反问功能，向后找作者自己的回答。第三句列出计数看不到的群体体验，末句提出双指标。由此可把反问改写为陈述：“大人流并不足以说明所有群体都能舒适使用空间。”

迁移练习

If speed were the only goal, why would hospitals track readmissions? 的功能是什么？

**答案：**质疑“速度是唯一目标”，用再入院指标暗示质量也重要，而非询问医院记录原因。

独立动作验收

把反问改写为陈述命题，并写出前后句如何共同支持该命题。只翻译问句不通过。
