雅思阅读考试的文章以大众题材为主, 内容涉及经济、教育、科技、医学、环境、能源、地质、海洋、动物等方面问题，而不涉及专业性很强的文章，以免给不同专业的考生造成优势或劣势;甚至有些知 识都是我们日常生活中所了解的，因此在雅思阅读考试中，考生在拿到题目时可以首先考虑利用常识能否直接找出答案，而不是匆忙找定位词到文章中定位。下面我 们结合题目具体说明常识在做题中的作用。 例一(剑六P71 The Search for the Anti-aging Pill) Questions 33-37 Classify the following descriptions as relating to A. caloric-restricted monkeys B. control monkeys C. neither caloric-restricted monkeys nor control monkeys 33. Monkeys were less likely to become diabetic. 34. Monkeys experienced more chronic disease. 35. Monkeys have been shown to experience a longer than average life span. 36. Monkeys enjoyed a reduced chance of heart disease. 37. Monkeys produced greater quantities of insulin. 解题： 首先读选项，我们会发现A 选项是卡路里即热量摄入受限制的猴子，而B选项，我们可以猜出它为热量摄入不受限制的猴子，当然若考生不确定可以到文章中定位找control monkeys，原文为“control animals that eat normally”,因此可以确定B选项为正常饮食即热量摄入不受限制的猴子。 接下来读题目，33题为“猴子成为糖尿病患者的几率减少”，根据常识我们都知道现在健康提倡人们减少卡路里即热量的摄入，因此我们可以断定此题答案为A; 而34题为“猴子经历多的慢性疾病”，根据同样的常识我又可以断定此题答案为B;36题为“猴子得心脏病的几率减少”，我们也可以得出答案为A。 35题和37题可能根据常识无法确定答案，这种情况下考生就需要利用定位词到文章中定位找答案了。 例二(剑五P89 Flawed Beauty: the problem with toughened glass) Questions 18-23 Complete the summary with the list of words A-P below. Toughened glass Toughened glass is favored by architects because it is much stronger than ordinary glass, and the fragments are not as 18________ when it breaks. However, it has one disadvantage: it can shatter 19________. This fault is a result of the manufacturing process. Ordinary glass is first heated, then cooled very 20________. The outer layer 21________ before the inner layer, and the tension between the two layers……These are unstable, and can expand suddenly, particularly if the weather is 22________. If this happens, the pane of glass may break. The frequency with which such problems occur is 23________ by glass experts……. 解题：根据题目中的句话我们能猜出toughened glass为钢化玻璃，18题中讲当钢化玻璃破碎时，它的碎片不像普通玻璃一样____?根据常识我们知道钢化玻璃破碎时碎片不那么锋利，所以此题答案为 F;同样根据常识，钢化玻璃有时会突然破碎，19题答案为I;20题考生若不确定答案可以利用定位信息到文章中定位答案，答案为C; 21题我们又可以利用常识“热胀冷缩”，判断肯定外层比内层先收缩，所以答案为K;22题同样利用“热胀冷缩”的常识，肯定是天暖和的时候才会膨胀，因此确定答案为E;23题根据常识无法确定答案，考生利用定位信息到文章中定位确定答案，答案为L。 (责任编辑：admin) |
