专业技术人员以英语为工具，主要通过阅读获取相关学科和专业的信息，因此，全国专业技术职称英语等级考试也主要是考阅读理解。从考试题型来看，主要是多项选择题。该题型在职称英语等级考试中占15题，45分(占总分的45％)。全国职称英语等级考试大纲就阅读理解能力的考核目标作了如下规定：
考生应能综合运用英语语言知识和阅读技能来理解本专业的或一般内容的英语书面材料。阅读能力主要包括下列几个方面：
1．掌握所读材料的主旨和大意(主旨题)；
2．了解阐述主旨的事实和细节(细节题)；
3．利用上下文猜测某些词汇和短语的意义(猜测题)；
4．既理解个别句子的意义，也理解上下文之间的意义关系(逻辑题)；
5．根据所读材料进行判断和推论(判断题)；
6．领会作者的观点、意图和态度(演绎题)。
根据考试大纲规定的考核目标，我们归纳出相应的六种阅读理解题的类型，并具体地探讨如何答好这些阅读理解题。
6．领会作者的观点、意图和态度
与掌握所读材料的主旨和大意类似，领会作者的观点、意图和态度也是阅读理解题中较难解答的问题。回答这类题首先要在阅读过程中注意体会和觉察作者的观点、意图和态度。这种信息有时是直接表达的，但更多的是间接、含蓄的流露。不过，作者的这种主观情感和态度往往和全文的主题和要点相关联。所以，在根据主题和主旨的同时，应注意揣测作者的观点、意图和态度。下面是这类题的一些常用的提问方式：

A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained £50. "I found this outside this gentleman's room." she said. "Well, "I said to the manager, "there is still some honesty in this world!"
