在阅读中，我们有时需要对文章内容的正误作出判断，有时需要借助上下文对个别词语的大意作出判断，有时需要根据关联，对上下文进行预测性判断，有时需要在综合分析的基础上，通过判断得出结论，有时还需要对作者语气态度、思想倾向等等作出判断。判断贯穿于阅读的全过程，也渗透在各种阅读微技能中。例：
(1) 判断推测句中omnivorous一词的大意
She has a wide interest and is an omnivorous reader.
根据句中她“兴趣广”这一上文和被修饰的reader一词，可大概判断omnivorous具有“兴趣广、什么书都喜欢读”等含义。
(2) 根据前文，判断下文
Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. Nevertheless…
A) laziness can actually be helpful
B) laziness is a sign of mental illness
C) laziness is immoral and wasteful
D) you must be careful when you see someone lazy
根据第一分句的语义倾向和Nevertheless一词，我们可得出这样的判断，即下文要谈的内容必然与之相反，即谈论Laziness也有其有利、肯定的一面，故A最有可能。
(3) 判断作者观点
Which of the following statements was written by someone who prefers small cars to large ones?
A) Their excellent gas mileage and even their improved interior design notwithstanding，today's compact cars simply fail to provide the feel a traditional motorist yearns for.
B) They lack some of the size and even the character of the full-sized autos we were accustomed to; but today's compacts more than make up for this with their excellent gas mileage.
本题要求我们对A、B中哪种观点赞成小汽车作出判断。A句中主句对小汽车予以否定，句首对小汽车的肯定性陈述又被notwithstanding一词否定。答案是B，第一分句讲到小汽车的缺陷：缺乏大汽车的空间和气派；第二分句则认为小汽车的紧凑及其优秀的低耗油特征能远远弥补上述不足，前面以转折连词将作者观点转向第二分句。
