雅思閱讀備考指導(dǎo)：段落標題配對題解析
策略：略讀舉例內(nèi)容，大致了解舉例目的(即論據(jù)部分所支持的觀點)，并將其與選項進行對照，與舉例目的表達相同觀點的選項即為正解。
例： The Dutch are not the only would-be moles. Growing numbers of Europeans are burrowing below ground to create houses, offices, discos and shopping malls…; in winter months in Montreal, Canada, for instance, citizens can escape the cold in an underground complex compete with shops and even health clinics. In Tokyo builders are planning a massive underground city to be begun in the next decade, and underground shopping malls are already common in Japan…
分析：很明顯，此段沒有所謂的主題句，而是以 Europe, Canada 以及 Tokyo 為例.在快速看完舉例部分后，我們不難總結(jié)出，舉例的目的是要說明世界各地正著手開發(fā)包括地下城市，地下診所，地下舞廳和地下購物中心在內(nèi)的多樣化地下服務(wù)設(shè)施.而這一觀點正好跟選項 Developing underground services around the world 相吻合。
特點2：段落本身有主題句，但正確選項并未根據(jù)主題句歸納
策略：繼續(xù)讀主題句后面部分的內(nèi)容，即擴展句( supporting sentences, 對主題句起支持或進一步解釋說明的句子)部分，正確選項往往就是對擴展句具體涉及內(nèi)容的概括。
例： There are big advantages, too, when it comes to private homes. A development of 194 houses which would take up 14 hectares of land above ground would occupy 2.7 hectares below it, while the number of roads would be halved… An underground dweller himself, Carpenter has never paid a heating bill …
分析：不難看出，劃線的句子作為本段的首句，具有概括性，實為主題句。如果正確選項是依據(jù)此句來歸納的話，那理應(yīng)包含 advantages 或是同樣表示優(yōu)勢、優(yōu)點、長處的其它詞?？墒聦嵤?，所給選項中沒有一項涉及此類詞。單純找主題句看來對于這個段落已不適用。繼續(xù)往后讀，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，后面部分其實是對地下住宅所具備的優(yōu)點的進一步舉例解釋。列舉數(shù)字無非是要說明地下住宅節(jié)省土地和空間;而以 Carpenter 這個地下住宅居住者為例，就是要說明這種住宅既省錢又節(jié)能。由此，答案鎖定為 Demands on space and energy are reduced.
特點 3 ：段落中涉及多個觀點內(nèi)容
策略：正確答案常常依據(jù)段落中所占篇幅較多或作者要強調(diào)的觀點來歸納
例： Building big commercial buildings underground can be a way to avoid distinguishing or threatening a beautiful or ‘environmentally sensitive’ landscape. Indeed many of the buildings which consume most land - such as cinemas, supermarkets, theatres, warehouses or libraries - have no need to be on the surface since they do not need windows.
分析：此段總共包含兩個句子，但各句表明不同的觀點。前者認為修建大型地下建筑可以避免破壞城市風(fēng)景，而后者則強調(diào)很多建筑因為不需要窗戶可以被建在地下。 Indeed (確實，甚至)的出現(xiàn)，正好表明本段的重心是要突出強調(diào)后者觀點，即有些建筑不需要窗戶(自然采光)。所以毫無疑問地選擇 Some buildings do not require natural light 。
特點 4 ：比較關(guān)系出現(xiàn)在句中
策略：忽略作為參照物的前者，后者才是作者真正要說明的觀點
例： Working Germans are particularly vulnerable, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
分析：此段兩句以 by comparison 銜接，同時也體現(xiàn)了前后兩者的比較關(guān)系。以 working Germans 作為參照物，本段真正的目的在于表明后者，即那些失業(yè)人員在星期一患心臟病的機率并不比其它任何高。所以正確答案為 Jobless but safer 。
特點 5 ：轉(zhuǎn)折、讓步關(guān)系出現(xiàn)在句中
策略：忽略讓步狀語從句內(nèi)容，重點關(guān)注轉(zhuǎn)折部分，即 but 或 however 等表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的連接詞后面的內(nèi)容。
例： The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more tan 2,600 Germans revealed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
分析： but 的出現(xiàn)引導(dǎo)我們關(guān)注其后面所要表明的內(nèi)容。又因為段落標題配對是對段落大意的概括，所以在理解轉(zhuǎn)折部分的內(nèi)容時，我們只需要把握住句子的主干就可以了。由此，根據(jù)主干 a study revealed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day 研究顯示普通人在星期一患心臟病的比率比其它任何高出百分之二十 , 我們選擇選項 High-risk Monday 。
特點 6 ：表達相同含義的詞或短語相繼出現(xiàn)在段落各句中
策略： 尋找含有高頻詞匯的選項
例： … If we are to believe the forecasts, it is predicted that two-thirds of the world population will be without fresh waterby 2025…While some areas are devastated by flooding, scarcity of water in many other places is causing conflicts. The state of Texas in the United States of America is suffering a shortage of water … there is now talk of water being the new oil.
分析：本段各句中都涉及水資源的短缺，相關(guān)詞匯分別為： without fresh water, scarcity of water, a shortage of water 以及 water being the new oil 。根據(jù)詞義對應(yīng)選項，得出正解為 shortage of water 。
