解读雅思阅读中那些常识性题目.docVIP

我的托福雅思必过 解读雅思阅读中那些常识性题目 雅思阅读考试的文章以群众题材为主,内容涉及经济、教育、科技、医学、环境、能源、地质、海洋、动物等方面问题，而不涉及专业性很强的文章，以免给不同专业的考生造成优势或劣势;甚至有些知识都是我们日常生活中所了解的，因此在雅思阅读考试中，考生在拿到题目时可以首先考虑利用常识能否直接找出答案，而不是匆忙找定位词到文章中定位。下面我们结合题目具体说明常识在做题中的作用。 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 lifespan. 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，而B选项，我们可以猜出它为热量摄入不受限制的猴子，当然假设考生不确定可以到文章中定位找controlmonkeys，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 thanordinary glass, and the fragments are not as 18________ when it breaks.

If this happens, the pane of glassmay break. The frequency with which such problems occur is 23________ by glassexperts……. 解题：根据题目中的第一句话我们能猜出toughenedglass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题考生假设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; 2
