首先浏览测试1中三篇文章的问题。问题类型包括段落细节、定位问题、总结问题、标题问题、判断问题和多项选择题。这些是之前雅思考试的主流试题。在做一组问题时,你应该冷静,整体把握问题顺序,充分利用每种问题类型的提问方法
就PASSAGE 1 做具体讲解, QUESTIONS 1-5 是个段落细节定位题,这种题型要求我们基本上每一段都要看而且段落从头到尾都得看,非常耗时,而且准确率不算高,通常情况下我们把这五道题留到去做,做完之后的题目对这道题是有帮助的.
QUESTIONS6-9 是个SUMMARY, 我们看题目要求,并没有段落限制,很有可能答案就会很分散,但也不排除答案集中的情况,QUESTIONS 10-13 是个句子填空题,那么SUMMARY 题和句子填空题是相通的,它们都是填空题,在很多情况下,都是通过定位词找细节,所以我们可把这两道题结合着做,画好QUESTIONS 6-13的定位词,去原文从段看起来,找细节.
第6题通过facial vision, pain, arm, leg 等定位词,定位在D 段 , 即 like the referred pain in a phantom limb, 与题目的pain from a ______ arm or leg 进行了同义转换,答案为 phantom.. 第7题 the ability actually comes from perceiving ________ through the ears( 这种能力通过耳朵感知什么而得到).
我们按顺序原则从原文继续往下看 the sensation of facial vision , it turns out, really goes in though the ears. Blind people, without even being aware of the fact, are actually using echoes of their own footsteps and of other sounds, to sense the presence of obstacles.
定位词ears 出现,那么对这句话做理解,这种facial vision的感觉是通过耳朵得到的,盲人(没有意识到这一点)通过耳朵感受回声来感知障碍的存在.答案即为 echoes/ obstacles.. 通过这道题perceiving ________,(感知 …)我们发现找动词后面即为答案,sense the presence of obstacles.
第8题定位词为instrument, calculate. 原文before this was discovered, engineers had already built instrument to exloit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship.动词后为答案,calculate 和measure 同义转换, 即测量depth. 第9题定位词wartime, device, finding. 原文after this technique had been invented, it was only a matter of time before weapons designers adapted it for the detection of submarines. Finding 和detection 同义转换 即探寻 submarines.
QUESTIONS10-13 填空题作题方法一样,但难度加强,理解上困难些.举第10 题为例,这道题较为困难."在RADAR 发明之前,______ 导致了蝙蝠复杂的象雷达一样的系统." 通过RADAR定位E段.The sonar and radar pioneers didn't know it then, but all the world now know that bats, or rather natural selection working on bats ,had perfected the system tens of millions of years earlier, and their radar achieves feats of detection and navigation that would strike an engineer dumb with admiration.
通过这道题,我们要具备一定的长难句分析能力,"SONAR和RADAR 的先锋者不知道,但现在我们都知道---- 是蝙蝠,更确切的说是作用于蝙蝠的NATURAL SELECTION 很多年前就完善了这个系统,即他们的'RADAR'系统有探测导航的功能.答案即为 NATURAL SELECTION导致了蝙蝠复杂的象雷达一样的系统.
做完6-13 题回到1-5 题,第5题马上能得到解决(通过第9题 wartime application in devices for finding submarines 判断第5题 military use 来自于 D 段.当然其他段落我们还要去理解,找对应.
