例1:Cambridge 3 Test 1 Section 4 Question 32
According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is
A. pregnancy
B. osteoporosis
C. lack of exercise
解析:題目要求找出女性背痛的一個(gè)主要原因,并且是說(shuō)話人的一個(gè)個(gè)人想法。三個(gè)選項(xiàng)在原文中都有出現(xiàn),當(dāng)提到osteoporosis時(shí)說(shuō)到:which I personally believe to be the major cause of problem for women,表達(dá)了自己的意見(jiàn),因此答案為B.
3.表原因,結(jié)果,條件:這類(lèi)考題也是非常多見(jiàn)的,題干的句末通常是because, because of, be caused by, if 等表示原因、結(jié)果、條件的詞。
例1:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 2 Question 14
A personal crisis may be caused by
A. studying for too long overseas
B. business problems in the student’s own country
C. disruptions to personal relationships
解析:題目要求找出引起個(gè)人危機(jī)的原因,三個(gè)選項(xiàng)描述的內(nèi)容各不相同,并且在原文中都有提到。在做題時(shí)必須區(qū)分哪個(gè)是原因,選項(xiàng)的表達(dá)方式是否正確。粗略聽(tīng)下來(lái)會(huì)覺(jué)得文講到的原因似乎在選項(xiàng)中都有,仔細(xì)分辨選項(xiàng)就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),A中too long為多余成分,文中沒(méi)有提到;B中business problem為真正意義上的商業(yè)問(wèn)題,而文中只是講到y(tǒng)ou might call “unfinished business”,實(shí)際上business就是 affair的意思,因此這個(gè)答案也是錯(cuò)誤的,正確的為C選項(xiàng)。
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 2 Question 15
Students may lose self-esteem if
A. they have to change courses
B. they don’t complete their courses
C. their family puts too much pressure on them
解析:題目要求找出在哪種情況下學(xué)生的自尊心會(huì)受到傷害,選項(xiàng)AB與課程有關(guān),不同的是A選項(xiàng)指換課,B選項(xiàng)指完不成課程。原文中有聽(tīng)到C選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容,但沒(méi)有跟自尊心聯(lián)系起來(lái)。原文中提到:if you fail a subject or drop out of a course because it’s too difficult then your self-esteem can suffer,then前后的內(nèi)容表達(dá)了事情條件和結(jié)果。因此答案為B。
4. 句意補(bǔ)充:有些考題要求把句子補(bǔ)充完整,通常補(bǔ)充動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。此類(lèi)考題形式多樣,需結(jié)合題干和選項(xiàng)從語(yǔ)法上判斷補(bǔ)充的成分的詞性和類(lèi)型。
例1:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 2 Question 17
Students in financial difficulties can receive
A. assistance to buy books
B. a loan to pay their course fees
C. a no-interest loan to cover study expenses
解析:題目要求補(bǔ)充一個(gè)賓語(yǔ),選項(xiàng)中BC都和loan有關(guān)。文中提到學(xué)生可得到貸款,但low interest loan,很容易就能否定掉C選項(xiàng)。講到貸款的作用時(shí)出現(xiàn)了to buy books,因此答案為A。
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 3 Question 24
Readingsessions help students to read
A. analytically
B. as fast as possible
C. thoroughly
解析:題目要求補(bǔ)充動(dòng)詞read的狀語(yǔ)。文中提到get into the habit of analyzing material as you read it,說(shuō)明在閱讀過(guò)程中要做到邊閱讀邊分析,因此A選項(xiàng)正確。
例3:Cambridge 5 Test 3 Section 2 Question 19
The university accommodation officer will
A. send a list of agents for students to contact
B. contact accommodation agencies for students
C. ensure that students have suitable accommodation
解析:題目要求補(bǔ)充完整謂語(yǔ)成分,根據(jù)題目意思可知與解決住宿問(wèn)題有關(guān)。原文中提到有許多租房中介,并且學(xué)校負(fù)責(zé)住宿的官員會(huì)代表學(xué)生與之聯(lián)系:will deal with the agencies on your behalf,因此正確答案為C。
5. 考時(shí)間,地點(diǎn),數(shù)字:這是非常細(xì)節(jié)的考題,盡管目標(biāo)明確,但往往會(huì)有很多陷阱或者考生不熟悉的表達(dá)方式出現(xiàn),所以讀題時(shí)要注意干擾信息的方向的判斷,在定位之后一定要仔細(xì)分辨信息。
例1:Cambridge 4 Test 3 Section 3 Question 22
The “Study for Success” seminar lasts for
A. one day
B. two days
C. three days
解析:通過(guò)讀題可發(fā)現(xiàn)可用“Study for Success” seminar來(lái)定位,原文提到時(shí)間時(shí)并沒(méi)有直接說(shuō)幾天,而是講出了具體哪幾天:that’s on the first and second of February. 因此答案為2天,很容易忽略。
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 4 Section 4 Question 38
Most sharks are caught in
A. spring
B. summer
C. winter
解析:題目考季節(jié),在原文中也提到了具體的月份—November to February,很容易選擇冬天。但文章介紹的是澳大利亞的鯊魚(yú),屬于南半球,季節(jié)正好與北半球相反,因此根據(jù)常識(shí)應(yīng)選擇夏天。
例3:Cambridge 6 Test 4 Section 4 Question 32
Pictures of Asiatic lions can be seen on ancient coins from
A. Greece
B. TheMiddle East
C. India
解析:通過(guò)讀題干可得知亞洲獅的形象是在銀幣上的,我們需要找出是哪國(guó)銀幣。聽(tīng)題過(guò)程中會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)三個(gè)地區(qū)都有聽(tīng)到,但都提到時(shí)只是再說(shuō)這幾個(gè)區(qū)域曾經(jīng)有亞洲獅出現(xiàn)。之后有Greek coins出現(xiàn),很顯然應(yīng)該選擇A。
例4:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 2 Question 19
The number of students counseled by the service last year was
A. 214
B. 240
C. 2600
解析:通過(guò)題干可得知要選的數(shù)字是指人數(shù),并且是去年的人數(shù)。原文中2600的單位為hours,顯然不正確。此題的目的就是考查學(xué)生能否正確區(qū)分14和40,根據(jù)重音不同,不難區(qū)分出答案為B。
