1.定位点
判断题在原文的定位点,不一定是按照文章顺序的,如第4题的定位点在最后一段,第5题的定位点在倒数第二段。
所以,在根据定位点找原文对照的时候,一定要将与定位点相关的内容都找一下。
定位点怎么找?
①有特殊词,如年份,人物名称等,直接在原文定位做对照。
②无特殊词,定位点一般为名词,如animal research,fund,advantage,point等等。这些词在原文中可能替换为同义词,所以同义替换一定要很熟。对于文章的主题词,如Gene,Environmental practices这些都是不作为定位点的。
2.比较
比较在判断题常出现,如fewer,more,than,most等等,这些比较可以是横向比较也可以是纵向比较。出现这些词时,一定要着重看原文有没有对比,是不是无中生有,如:
题目:
Negative traits are more apparent in some modern cultures than in others.
原文:
At any rate, these negative traits appear to have developed so recently that itdoesn't seem feasible to explain them in adaptive or evolutionary term.
重点在说负面特质是近期发展来的,没有对不同现代文化里负面特质的“明显程度差异“做比较。
所以这里填NOT GIVEN
题目:
Forty years ago, there were fewer butterflies in Britain than at present.
原文:
According to conservationists, populations of around two thirds of butterfly species have declined in Britain over the past 40 years.现在蝴蝶数量是比 40 年前少的 ,和题目表述完全相反。
所以这里填FALSE
题目:
John Willis wanted Cutty Sark to be the fastest tea clipper travelling between the UK and China.
原文:
Cutty Sark was disigned to make the journey more quickly than any other ship.
所以这里填T
注意(the most/more than all other)
3.填NO GIVEN情景
填NO GIVE的情况,分为两种:
① 题目的内容原文压根没有提及
题目:
Staff should be allowed to choose when they take breaks during the working day.
原文:
Those particularly appropriate to the hospitality industry include allowing adequate breaks during the working day.
无中生有,所以填NO GIVEN
题目:
Werner Fischer played with a spaghetti - strung racket that he designed himself.
原文:
Racket modifications mainly date back to the 1970s, when the amateur German tennis player Werner Fischer started playing with the so-called spaghetti-strung racket.
原文没提及这个球拍是不是他自己设计的,无中生有,所以填NO GIVEN
② 题目中的关系,最常见的就是上面说的“比较”关系,题目是没有的。
题目:
Participants in the Santa Cruz study were more accurate atidentifying the laughs of friends than those of strangers.
原文:
Santa Cruz....Participants were asked whether they thought the people laughing were friends or strangers. On average, the results were consistent: people's guesses were correct approximately 60% of the time.
原文没区分朋友笑声、陌生人笑声各自的准确率 ,也没说二者谁更高。所以填NO GIVEN
4.填FALSE的情况
填FALSE的情况,分为两种:
① 题目与原文意思完全相反,这类题目最简单,只需找准定位词即可,注意同义替换。
题目:
innovation is most successful if the people involved have distinct roles(明确分工).
原文:
when innovating, the best approach is to create an environment devoid of structure and hierarchy(没有结构和阶级).
所以这里填FALSE
题目:
The change that Andy Murray made to his rackets attracted a lot of attention(吸引很多人的注意).
原文:
Of the changes that account for this transformation, one was visible and widely publicised: in 2011, Murray invited former number one player Ivan Lendl onto his coaching team–a valuable addition that had a visible impact on the player’s playing style. Another change(对球拍的改动) was so subtle that it passed more or less unnoticed(细微到几乎没人注意到).
所以这里填FALSE
② 题目在原文的基础上扩大了范围。
这类题目就需要注意原文的场景词(如 high - altitude, laboratory, urban)、程度词(severe, advanced)、研究对象限定(focused on, specifically for)。当题目出现 “all, every, universally” 等词语的时候,就要到原文中对照是否有词语限定。
题目:
Drug X is effective in treating all heart conditions.
原文:The study focused on patients with severe heart conditions, showing that drug X reduced symptoms significantly.
5.填TRUE的情况
填TRUE的情况,分为两种:
① 题目与原文内容完全对应,只需主意同义词替换。
题目:
It was believed that the change Pete Sampras made to his rackets contributed to his strong serve.
人们认为皮特・桑普拉斯对其球拍所做的改动有助于他发出强劲的发球。
原文:
For example, much of the serving power of US professional player Pete Sampras was attributed to the addition of four to five lead weights onto his rackets.
例如,美国职业球员皮特・桑普拉斯的发球力量,很大程度上要归功于他在球拍上添加了四到五个铅质配重。
这里“was attributed to”和题目里“was believed that...contributed to”对应,说明人们认为他对球拍的改动和强劲发球有关,所填TRUE 。
② 题目所述情况在原文范围内。
题目:
The weather can affect how professional players adjust the strings on their rackets.
原文:
Modifications can be divided into two categories: those to the string bed and those to the racket frame... They will continually change it depending on various factors including the court surface, climatic conditions, and game styles.
这里"climatic conditions"气候条件,包含天气相关情况。所以填TRUE
