什么才不是被动的刷题,而是有效的备考解题呢?那就需要烤鸭们站在巨人的肩膀上来看考官在出题时,脑袋里在想些神马东西?我们今天就拿阅读题型中的选择题来给大家解析一下考官的出题套路。如果要问雅思阅读中难度最大的题型是哪种题型,相信99%的烤鸭都会说是选择题。的确,选择题是最考查学生能力的题型,因为考生必须要读懂句子,正确理解识并识别同义替换,才能选出正确的选项。所以,这个题目就成了让无数烤鸭在考场上尽折腰的题目,也是想考阅读8+高分的烤鸭们必须要突破的题目。
如果选择题是这样的:
出题模式一:
句子1:It seems that the viewer can sense the artists’ vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.
题目:下面哪个选项与上句意思一致?
A mostly favour works of art which they know well.
Bhold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.
Care often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.
Dhave the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.
那么应该90%的同学可以做对,正确答案是D。如果做不对的同学,请你踏踏实实去背背YOYO的核心2000词或是学术核心词汇566吧。
但是,选择题的实际出题模式是这样的:
出题模式二:
这篇文章的标题是:Neuroaesthetics
题目:Angelina Hawley-Dolan’s findings indicate that people
A mostly favour works of art which they know well.
Bhold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.
Care often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.
Dhave the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.
原文出题点:Angelina Hawley-Dolan, of Boston College, Massachusettes, responded to this debate by asking volunteers to view pairs of paintings - either the creations of famous abstract artists or the doodles of infants, chimps and elephant. They then had to judge which they preferred. A third of the paintings were given no captions, while many were labelled incorrectly-volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp’s messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece. In each set of trials, volunteers generally preferred the work of renowned artists, even when they believed it was by an animal or a child. It seems that the viewer can sense the artist’s vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.
出题模式一,其实就是雅思选择题的本质所在。出题模式二是正常的雅思考试的出题模式,配上抽象的主题和很多看似简单又读不懂的无关信息,以此来加大考试的难度,这就是雅思考官出题的套路。出题模式一和二一对比,大家就明白了,其实选择题,真正的难点在于:同学们往往不能准确定位出考官的出题点到底是哪一句子。烤鸭们一般可以大概定位到题目出题“面”--- 段落,但是,却不能准确定位“点”--出题的句子。所以,很多同学常常有需要读一整段或是两个段落来解一个选择题的错觉。
简言之,雅思阅读选择题的解题关键是:一定要能够准确点位出题点!这样,就可以有效排除很多干扰信息了。而在仅有的一个句子中,去读懂,再去识别选项的同义替换,这样选择题的难度就大大减小了。
那么,问题来了?如何锁定出题点呢?如何做到从“面”到“点”的准确定位呢?
定位选择题的出题点,可以根据题目的提问方式,来进行分类,每类题目的出题点和出题规律一般都是比较固定。雅思选择题的提问方式和出题点位置,一般可以分为以下几大类:
出题规律1:实验看结果
1.考查实验相关的题目,一般重点都是考实验的结果,重点直接去文中快速锁定实验的结果,一般表结果的关键词是:findings, ...found that..., It seems that..., it would seem that....
正常来说:当讲到某个实验的时候,文中的行文顺序:WHY该实验的背景/目的--HOW该实验如何进行--WHAT实验对象在实验做了什么或是如何表现的---Results/Findings。所以,当提到某个实验时,一般会有2-3句来讲实验的why, how和what,结果往往放在最后。解题时,直接快速跳到实验后边去看实验的结果。
如上题所示:题目问Angelina Hawley-Dolan’s findings indicate...(他的实验结果表明....), 文中,段落前几句描述的都是跟实验相关的内容,到最后一句It seems that..., 才是结果。考生们在做题前,如果能够非常清晰的了解这个特点的话,就可以高效准确的解题了。
出题规律2:例子看观点
2.题目考查具体例子的,一般都是问例子说明或支持的观点,重点看原文例子的前后句。举例都是为了说明观点的。如果段落开头就是例子的,则需要看例子所在段落的前段的主要观点,观点的位置一般在上段的最后部分,提出一个观点,然后下段用例子证明。一般例子讲完后,在例子后边会再次总结一下观点。简言之,出现例子的重点看例子前后的句子。
出题规律3:主旨细节要分清
3.如果题目提问中出现段落的,如果是问段落大意,就看段落主题句,快速把握段落主旨。出现段落,但不问主旨的,一定要先定好段落中具体细节,再解题。如: According to the eighth paragraph, how was the geography of the region significant? 题目中提到第8段,但是不能看一整个段落解题,还要定位到关键词geography 所在的句子,理解后再做题。
