雅思閱讀之巧用并列結構秒殺雅思閱讀＂奇葩＂題型

　　在進行學術型文章寫作時，羅列觀點式的并列型寫作結構是常用的段落展開手法。因此，在雅思學術型閱讀文章中，這種結構也屢見不鮮。所謂“并列型結構”，指的是按照某種分類特征羅列要點的敘述結構，最簡單的便是First… Second… Third… Finally的敘述邏輯。而在雅思文章中，這種結構的開端位置通常也具有十分鮮明的特征，文章通常會首先總述一下所羅列要點的數(shù)量，即出現(xiàn)“數(shù)字+分類特征詞”的典型表述。如劍7 Test 3 Passage 3的第四個段落：首句出現(xiàn)“six detailed resolutions”的描述，因此可以迅速斷定該段落為并列型結構，并依此將段落中六個并列層次找出。該篇文章后第34-39題的匹配題目中，題干即為Resolution 1 – 6，因此可以根據(jù)之前的分析，迅速定位到第四段的六個并列層次位置并進而完成解題。

　　除了幫助更快速的定位和解答普通題型，在閱讀時把握好并列型結構也可以幫助同學們輕松搞定一些非常規(guī)的“奇葩”題型。下面我們來舉個例子。

　　劍4 Test 1 Passage 1 文后的9-13題：

　　Questions 9 – 13

　　The box below gives a list of responses A-P to the questionnaire discussed in Reading Passage 1.

　　Answer the following questions by choosing the correct responses A-P.

　　Write your answers in boxes 9-13 on your answer sheet.

　　9. What was the children’s most frequent response when asked where the rainforests were?

　　10. What was the most common response to the question about the importance of the rainforests?

　　11. What did most children give as the reason for the loss of rainforests?

　　12. Why did most children think it important for the rainforest to be protected?

　　A There is a complicated combination of reasons for the loss of the rainforests.

　　B The rainforests are being destroyed by the same things that are destroying

　　the forests of Western Europe.

　　G People are responsible for the loss of the rainforest.

　　H The rainforests are a source of oxygen.

　　I Rainforests are of consequence for a number of different reasons.

　　J As the rainforests are destroyed, the world gets warmer.

　　K Without rainforests there would not be enough oxygen in the air.

　　L There are people for whom the rainforests are home.

　　P Humans depend on the rainforests for their continuing existence.

　　該題目題干為簡答題形式，但題后給出了備選項，又看似匹配題題型。但若要將其作為匹配題解答，會陷入一個兩難境地：用題干定位則信息太長，用選項定位則信息過多。這個題目讓很多同學感覺無從下手。
