根据对历年真题的总结分析,雅思阅读考试的一个重要规律是:题干中的句子之间,词语之间的逻辑关系在原文中一般不变。这一规律使得逻辑关系词可以有效地协助题干关键词在原文中定位答案信息源。尤其在摘要题中这一方法使用频率很高。 例如: 1.剑5 / P50 / Q30-31 题干:In Britain, moreover, scientists worried that English had neither the technical vocabulary nor the grammatical resources to express their ideas。 原文:First, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world 题干中出现的neithernor是连接两个否定概念的并列逻辑关系词。原文中对应出现了完全相同的逻辑关系,即first, it lacked , second it lacked 。我们可根据这种对应的逻辑关系在原文中快速定位答案信息源。 2.剑5 / P50 / Q33-34 题干:Although English was then overtaken by German, it developed again in the 19th century as a direct result of the industrial revolution。 原文:In the following century much of this momentum was lost as German established itself as the leading European language of science.However, in the 19th century scientific English again enjoyed substantial lexical growth as the industrial revolution created the need for new technical vocabulary。 |
