题型难度分析
根据考生回忆第一篇阅读非常简单,是机经中的一篇。
题型技巧分析
本篇有填空题,填空题的做题步骤:
1.读题目要求,主要看字数要求,一般不超过三个或两个,一定要看清楚
2.读题目,并划出关键词,关键词首先是特殊的比如人名地名时间数字等,如果没有这些词,那就划出名词
3.对所填的空进行预测,预测所填空的词性,单复数情况
4.根据划出的关键词去文中定位
5.对定位部分进行分析,选出答案
选择题的做题步骤
1.阅读指令(Instruction)
这一步骤主要是针对多项选择而言的,单项选择题的指令几乎没有作用。
在多项选择题中,指令中会提示正确选项的数量,在誊写答题卡的时候,一定要注意多项选择题的题号,一个正确选项占用一个题号。
这一点对于初次接触雅思的考生来说要特别引起注意。
2.阅读题干,划出定位词
由于选择题考察细节的特点,故题干中的词往往能够提供定位
3.阅读选项,划出核心词
在寻找正确答案之前,一定要事先通读选项,因为选项提供了对原文正确或者是错误的同义转换。
但是由于选项较长,不可能一次性全部记住,所以有必要把选项里的核心词划出来,这样可以减轻记忆负担,并且更加有针对性地做题。
4.找到相关句子段落,摆脱干扰找到答案
这是做题的最后一个步骤,也是最重要的步骤。
由于选择项的干扰性往往很强,所以对找到的相关句子或段落一定要进行仔细阅读,排除错误选项。
甄别干扰项这一步骤是考生解题的关键,很多考生往往对几个选项犹豫不决,经常跳进题目的陷阱。
一般说来,干扰项有如下几个类别:
1)数字陷阱
选择题的特点便是选项进行深度的同义转换。
但是如果个别选项中出现了数字,往往意味着这个数字直接来源于文章,没有进行任何同义替换。
这种干扰选项对于根本读不懂原文的考生有着致命的诱惑力,因为只有数字是熟悉的,其它的单词都读不懂。
数字选项中,数字在文章中都有提及,但经常是通过移花接木的形式出现的,以干扰考生的注意力。
2)相似陷阱
同理,如果题目中出现的个别单词与原文中的用词一模一样,尤其是一些经常被同义替换掉的动词、形容词等,这个选项往往就是干扰选项。
3)偷换概念陷阱
有时候选项中虽然与文中有对应的词,但选项中偷换了关键性的成分(如谓语部分),使得答案错误。
4)搭配不当陷阱
这是最具有诱惑性的选项。
这种选项的特点是:
选项本身是正确的,但是跟题干却不能形成搭配关系。
很多考生看到选项和原文内容相似,甚至还有同义转换,便毫不犹豫地选择了这样的干扰项。

根据考生回忆,本篇也是机经中的一篇文章,比较简单,去年就考过,但后面的题目在考试中变了。
是非无判断题是雅思阅读考试的经典题型,虽然今年的题量相对减少,但是仍是复习备考时应关注的题型。
首先应该注意看清是TRUE还是YES,本篇是TRUE/FALSE/NOTGIVEN
解题步骤:
1.速读问题的句子,找出考点词(容易有问题的部分)。
考点词:
比较级,最高级,数据(时间),程度副词,特殊形容词,绝对化的词(only,most,each,any,every,thesameas等)
2.排除考点词,在余下的词中找定位词,去原文定位。
3.重点考察考点词是否有提及,是否正确。
TRUE的原则是同义替换,至少有一组近义词。
FALSE是题目和原文截然相反,不可共存,通常有至少一组反义词。
NOTGIVEN是原文未提及,不做任何推断,尤其多考察题目的主语等名词在原文是否有提及。
