小编:cherry 120雅思阅读文章虽然涵盖范围广泛,但是专业性并不是很强。考生时常可以通过自己的常识来判断一部分答案,可以节省下阅读文章和定位的时间。本文环球教育小编通过举例告诉大家常识在雅思阅读解题中的作用。
例一(剑六P71 The Search for the Anti-aging Pill)
Questions 33-37
Classify the following descriptions as relating to
A. caloric-restricted monkeys
B. control monkeys
C. neither caloric-restricted monkeys nor control monkeys
33. Monkeys were less likely to become diabetic
34. Monkeys experienced more chronic disease
35. Monkeys have been shown to experience a longer than average life span
36. Monkeys enjoyed a reduced chance of heart disease
37. Monkeys produced greater quantities of insulin
解题:
首先读选项,我们会发现A选项是卡路里即热量摄入受限制的猴子,B选项我们可以猜出它为热量摄入不受限制的猴子,当然若考生不确定可以到文章中定位找control monkeys,原文为“control animals that eat normally”,因此可以确定B选项为正常饮食即热量摄入不受限制的猴子。
接下来读题目,33题为“猴子成为糖尿病患者的几率减少”,根据常识我们都知道现在健康专家提倡人们减少卡路里即热量的摄入,因此我们可以断定此题答案为A;而34题为“猴子经历更多的慢性疾病”,根据同样的常识我又可以断定此题答案为B;36题为“猴子得心脏病的几率减少”,我们也可以得出答案为A。
35题和37题可能根据常识无法确定答案,这种情况下考生就需要利用定位词到文章中定位找答案了。
例二(剑五P89 Flawed Beauty: the Problem with Toughened Glass)
Questions 18-23
Complete the summary with the list of words A-P below.
Toughened glass
Toughened glass is favored by architects because it is much stronger than ordinary glass, and the fragments are not as 18_____ when it breaks. However, it has one disadvantage: it can shatter 19________. This fault is a result of the manufacturing process. Ordinary glass is first heated, then cooled very 20________. The outer layer 21________ before the inner layer, and the tension between the two layers……These are unstable, and can expand suddenly, particularly if the weather is 22________. If this happens, the pane of glass may break. The frequency with which such problems occur is 23________ by glass experts…….
解题:
根据题目中的第一句话我们能猜出toughened glass为钢化玻璃,18题中讲当钢化玻璃破碎时,它的碎片不像普通玻璃一样。根据常识我们知道钢化玻璃破碎时碎片不那么锋利,所以此题答案为F;同样根据常识,钢化玻璃有时会突然破碎,19题答案为I;20题考生若不确定答案可以利用定位信息到文章中定位答案,答案为C;21题我们又可以利用常识“热胀冷缩”,判断肯定外层比内层先收缩,所以答案为K;22题同样利用“热胀冷缩”的常识,肯定是天暖和的时候才会膨胀,因此确定答案为E;23题根据常识无法确定答案,考生利用定位信息到文章中定位确定答案,答案为L。
从以上两个例子中我们可以看出,有些时候超过一半的答案都可以通过常识直接选出,而不需要读文章或者回到文章中定位。但是这种方法环球教育小编只建议大家,在时间极其紧张的条件下使用,因为不排除文章会提出新的观点或者我们记忆有误的情况。最后,环球教育小编祝大家雅思考试顺利。
