熟悉雅思考试的小伙伴们应该有所了解，并列考点贯穿于雅思阅读、听力考试。并列结构这个考点虽小但意义非凡。首先我们来回想一下表示并列结构的词或短语有哪些，最为常见的有and， also， or， as well as， not only…but also等。那应用到雅思考题里，并列考点会如何出题，我们来看以下几个例子。

　　雅思阅读 – 并列考点

　　例题1：

　　The territory of Nunavut consists of little more than ice， rock and a few____.   C6T1P3

　　原文：Nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometers of rock and ice， and a handful of islands around the North Pole. 这道题我们读题时可以看出来是个并列考点题，根据已知信息ice， rock去原文对应到相关句子，然后得出另一个并列信息点islands，所以这题答案为islands。

　　例题2：

　　Positive results could be produced by factors such as _____ or ______.  C8T1P3

　　原文：There were many other ways of getting positive results. These ranged from “sensory leakage” – where clues about the pictures accidentally reach the receiver – to outright fraud. 这题属于高难度并列点考题，首先题目出现A or B的并列结构，我们根据positive results先定位到相关句子，原文有个隐藏结构range from A to B(范围从A到B)，中间破折号是在解释前面引号里的词，那么我们就可以得出答案是sensory leakage和outright fraud。

　　雅思听力 – 并列考点

　　例题1：Where does Circus Romano perform？   (C4T3S2)  

　　A.in a theatre

　　B. in a tent  

　　C. in a stadium

　　原文：The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus， it follows a long tradition by performing in a marquee - which is really like a canvas portable building， usually put up in a green space or car park， rather than in a theatre or stadium. 这题根据题干信号词Circus Romano定位到相应句子，正向听答案我们能听到一个答案词marquee（大帐篷）， 但是这个词大多数同学都是不认识的，这时候并列关系就要起大作用了，我们往后会听到theatre和stadium由rather than引出，听力单选题中有两个选项同时提到可以并列排除，所以此题答案为B。

　　例题2：The Semira Region has a long tradition of   (C7T3S2)

　　A.making carpets

　　B.weaving blankets

　　C.carving wood

　　原文：The area has been famous for centuries for making beautiful carpets， although recently there has been a trend to move into weaving blankets and wood carving. 这题同样地making carpets单独出现，后面weaving blankets和wood carving并列出现，可以打包排除，得出答案为A。

　　    以上我们总结一下，我们可以发现并列考点在阅读和听力中都会涉及，所以大家一定要把握住这个考点，熟悉并列考点的出题方式和应用。
