雅思閱讀陷阱偷換一、概念陷阱
有時候選項中雖然與文中有對應(yīng)的詞,但選項中偷換了關(guān)鍵性的成分(如謂語部分),使得答案錯誤。如:
From the experiment described in Part 1, the writer found that the blind subjects
A、had good understanding of symbols representing movement。
B、could control the movement of wheels very accurately。
C、worked together well as a group in solving problems。
D、got better results than the sighted undergraduates. (劍4, Test 1, Q29 )
這道題目里面,很多考生會選C選項,因為原文里有這么一句話: … the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning at least as frequently as did sighted subjects.但是C選項偷換了group的概念,把blind subjects說成是組隊來一起解決問題,這顯然是文章中沒有交代的。
雅思閱讀陷阱偷換二、數(shù)字陷阱
選擇題的特點便是選項進行深度的同義轉(zhuǎn)換。但是如果個別選項中出現(xiàn)了數(shù)字,往往意味著這個數(shù)字直接來源于文章,沒有進行任何同義替換。這種干擾選項對于根本讀不懂原文的考生有著致命的誘惑力,因為只有數(shù)字是熟悉的,其它的單詞都讀不懂。數(shù)字選項中,數(shù)字在文章中都有提及,但經(jīng)常是通過移花接木的形式出現(xiàn)的,以干擾考生的注意力。比如:
The four divisions
A、each employed a staff of 500 clerks
B、each had equal levels of productivity
C、had identical patterns of organisation
D、were randomly chosen for the experiment (劍3, Test 4, Q29 )
原文中,數(shù)字500的確有所提及,但原文講的是The study covered 500 clerical employees in four parallel divisions。500名員工是實驗所包含的總?cè)藬?shù)。
雅思閱讀陷阱偷換三、相似陷阱
同理,如果題目中出現(xiàn)的個別單詞與原文中的用詞一模一樣,尤其是一些經(jīng)常被同義替換掉的動詞、形容詞等,這個選項往往就是干擾選項。比如例3中的D選項,很多同學誤選了D就是因為random這個詞在原文中出現(xiàn)過。但是同樣,原為是說The four divisions were assigned to two experimental programmes on a random basis.四個部門被隨機分配到兩個實驗項目中去,而不是四個部門是被隨機挑選的。再舉一例:
The writer was surprised because the blind woman
A、drew a circle on her own initiative。
B、did not understand what a wheel look like。
C、included a symbol representing movement。
D、was the first person to use lines of motion. (劍4, Test 1, Q28 )
A選項幾乎與原文一樣。但是通過仔細閱讀便會發(fā)現(xiàn),作者吃驚的原因并不是因為盲人婦女自己畫了一個圈,而是因為To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle 。為了顯示這種運動,她用在圈里面畫了一個曲線。正確選項C選項與文章幾乎沒有相同之處,但仔細比對卻包含了很多同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換: traced – included; curve – symbol; show – representing; movement – motion。
