淺議雅思閱讀中的多選題之同題異做
題干中能令考生感覺詳細一點的也就只是 scientific research 了,不過,依照它找到paragraph 4,發(fā)現(xiàn)只讀和scientific research 有關(guān)的句子還是無法作答,首句中的’One is the lopsidedness built into scientific research.’并不能令考生得知”偏頗”的具體內(nèi)容,而第二句:Scientific funding goes mainly to areas with many problems. 又容易讓考生誤解為B 也可能成為正確答案,從而在B和C之間舉棋不定,難以取舍,因為該題其實是在考核對全段的綜合理解能力, 題干中的scientific research并不能認為是一個詳細信息點,既然在句尾出現(xiàn)了in paragraph 4.
此時,題干應(yīng)被判斷為是general 類的,依照前文所述,先讀A,B,C,D四個選項。從A與D的內(nèi)容雷同來看,可以排除這2者的正確性,因為正確答案是唯一的;在B與C之間,它們的差異是非常明顯的。這時只需謹記financial 和area,帶著問題去讀指定段落,任務(wù)就顯得輕松多了,由段落中的第二句和末句可知答案是C.
對于多項選當中的選標題類的題目來說,運用此種方法能夠極大程度地減低難度。下面謹舉一例說明:
Question 14 / Test 1 / Cambridge IV:
Choose the correct letter A,B,C or D.
Which of the following is the most suitable title for Reading Passage 1?
A.?The development of a programme in environmental studies within a science curriculum
B.?Children’s ideas about the rainforests and the implications for course design
C.?The extent to which children have been misled by the media concerning the rainforests
D.?How to collect, collate and describe the ideas of secondary school children
E.?The importance of the rainforests and the reasons for their destruction
這是一道極為有挑戰(zhàn)的對全片文章的主旨大意的考核,難度可想而知,不過若從讀選項入手,情況似乎出現(xiàn)了極為巧妙的轉(zhuǎn)機。
A 選項是要被排除掉的,因為整個statement 竟然沒有涉及全篇的核心話題rainforests, 錯誤顯而易見。D 選項因為同樣錯誤也被排除。E 選項中的importance 和 reasons 只是文中提及的5個問題之2, 而這5個問題應(yīng)該是并列的關(guān)系,從邏輯上講,錯誤是很明顯的。這樣就余下B和C作為最后抉擇的選項,注意二者的不同之處,implications 和 misled. 這時回原文中尋找,在第三段出現(xiàn)了:The aim of the present study is to start to provide such information, to help teachers design their educational strategies to …? 而C選項始終無從談起,在文中沒有有力的支持。正確答案是 B.
