对于做过大量雅思阅读训练的同学而言,在填空题中常常会遇到关于并列的考点。所谓的并列就是指and,as well as,also等,因为看起来很简单,很多考生就忽视了它的重要性,这也是导致考生一直在低分徘徊的原因之一。由于考生对并列这个考点没有系统的训练过,导致阅读速度降低。今天牛学君给大家结合例子,解析并列在雅思填空题中的应用。
对于很多雅思阅读填空题中,如果题目出现and,as well as等信号,表明这个是关于阅读填空题并列的考点。首先,题目中如果遇到aswell as的时候,考生需要知道的是as well as = and,我们可以从下面例子看出。
问题:Metacognition involveschildren understanding their own learning strategies, as well as developing .
原文:To be at their mosteffective in their self-regulation, all children can be helped to identify their own ways of learning — metacognition —which will include strategies of planning, monitoring, evaluation, and choiceof what to learn.Emotional awarenessisalso part of metacognition, so children should be helped to be aware of theirfeelings around the area to be learned, feelings of curiosity or confidence,for example.
上述例子,很多考生是不理解Metacognition这个单词的意思,其实遇到这种词汇,我们不需要了解意思,我们知道cognition是认知的意思,因此可以理解为某种认知。即翻译为这个认知需要孩子理解他们自己的学习策略和发展。通常考生首先要明确这是填空题并列的考点,信号是as well as,说明learning strategies跟as well as developing关系是一致的。因此我们可以在原文章找到红字部分中包含的learning strategies确定答案位置,再从理解上发现Emotionalawareness是答案。
前面讲到as well as在雅思阅读填空题中表示并列,此外逗号也可以表示并列关系中的and,即“,”= and.我们可以从下面的例子可以看出。
问题:Red leaves are mostabundant when daytime weather conditions are andsunny.
原文:It has also beenrecognized for decades that the best conditions for intense red colors are dry,sunny days and cool nights, conditions that nicely match those that make leavessusceptible toexcess light.
上述题目翻译为当白天天气怎么样和有阳光,红叶就会变得很多。And表明是填空题中并列的考点。从原文标红处可以发现red colors are dry,sunny days这个关键词。正好切合上述所说“,”= and,因此这题的答案就是dry。我们再来看一个例子,也是关于句号等于and.
问题:The Lapita explored andcolonised many Pacific islands over several centuries. They took many thingswith them on their voyages including and tools.
原文:They were also pioneerswho carried with them everything they would need to build new lives—theirlivestock, taro seedlings and stone tools.
从问题可以翻译为Lapita已经探索和殖民了众多太平洋小岛很多年了,随着旅行队伍带来了很多工具和某种。这里需要考生知道的是and前面跟着的是什么东西。因此我们可以从原文发现tools这个信号。此时很多考生会写成taro seedlings,这是错误的,因为原文中的and是和tool表并列,是一个意思。因此需要考生知道“,”= and这个方法,这样才能发现livestock就是答案。
以上就是牛学君为带来的并列在雅思填空题中的应用,当雅思阅读题目中出现and,as well as的时候,考生需要知道这是关于并列的考点。因此需要了解and=as well as=逗号这个解题技巧,在原文找答案的时候可以快速定位并且找到正确答案,提高阅读分数。希望考生能结合上述例子,运用在实际练习中,在接下来的雅思考试中取得佳绩。
