上图截取了2017年后半年的考试数据,我们可以看到每场考试填空题平均在12个左右,判断题平均在10个左右,这两大题型占据了整个阅读考试半边天,可以说练好这两大类型的题目,就可以稳稳地进阶高段位分数了。
各位宝宝们一定都已经把解题方法烂熟于心,拿到文章先看题目找关键词去原文定位分析同义表达得出答案。这样的顺序没错,但是对于填空题而言,我们从考点出发其实还是有一些套路可循。今天环球教育苏州分校朱晓霞老师主要跟大家分享雅思阅读填空题的几个隐藏技能:
1.并列结构A和B:经统计,C6-C12的填空题中,有13%考察的是并列结构。大家积累好常见的表示并列结构的词,比如:and, as well as, not only….but also, also, 再根据题目里已给信息A定位即可得出答案B。
例题:Marie Curie saw the importance of collecting radioactive material both for research and for cases of ______. C9T4P1
One of Marie Curie's achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense radioactive sources, not only to treat illness but also to maintain an abundant supply for research. (原文)
解析:我们先分析题目得出这是道考察并列结构的题,并列信息A为"research", 定位到原文所在句子看到并列结构not only… but also…,"research"在原文的but also分支里面,那我们的答案应该去not only那个分支找,答案词应该是个名词,所以答案为illness.
2.小小字母"a"有大作用:经统计,C6-C12的填空题中,也有13%考察的是空格前有"a"这样的结构。做这种题目时,大家定位到原文大致位置后先找到带"a"的结构,再去验证题目里其他信息是否一致即可确定答案无误。
例题:A ____ was used to transmit the message at the speed of light. C9T3P3
With the probe 12 billion kilometers from Earth, this was not an easy task. By means of a radio dish belonging to NASA's Deep Space Network, the message was sent out into the depths of space. Even traveling at the speed of light, it took over 11 hours to reach its target, far beyond the orbit of Pluto. (原文)
解析:这题我们先定位到原文大致位置(以上截取的段落是从上一题定位句子往后开始的),在这个有限的几句话里我们可以优先找到有"a"的表达,然后验证句子信息transmit the message=message was sent out, 所以确定答案为"radio dish"。
3.原文结构送分题:经统计,C6-C12的填空题中,有17%考察的是原文一致的结构,即题目空格前后的部分信息几乎与原文是一致的。
例题:The position of the points indicated that both these ancient creatures were _____. C9T1P3
Their points on the graph are right in the thick of the dry cluster. Both these fossils were dry-land tortoises. (原文)
解析:这题其实一目了然,大家都能够看出来结构一致,答案很明显就是"dry-land tortoises"。但是用这种方法做完题之后要记得去验证题干其他信息是否与原文一致,防止定位错误,比如这题里面都提到了points, 还有ancient creatures和fossils也能对应上,所以可以确认答案无误。
以上只是简单介绍了填空的部分隐藏技能,预知后事如何,各位宝宝们赶紧拿起手机,给环球教育打call啦。
