B. 理解定位词所在的内容还需要联系前文
有些判断题,在原文中定位到定位词还不够,还需要联系前文的背景才能做出题目。比如剑桥8 test 1 passage two Air Traffic Control in the USA 第24题class F airspace is airspace which is below 365m and not near airports. 仔细阅读题干,可以判断该题中的class F airspace, below 365m, not near airports, 应该为题目的定位词,题干的考点词为and结构。原文G段第二行文字中出现了题干中Class F airspace这个大写的英文单词Uncontrolled airspace is designated Class F...这时需要回顾一下段落E中对uncontrolled airspace的介绍In general, from 365m above the ground and higher, the entire country is blanketed by controlled airspace ..., controlled airspace extends ...in the immediate vicinity of an airport...所以答案应该判断为true。
4. 题目对应的原文句子难理解
最后一种情况是,题目所对应的原文太长、太复杂,导致考生在理解上有困难,从而判断错答案。这一类情况在剑桥雅思中存在比较典型的两道题。比如剑桥4 test one passage one 第4题'The fact that children's ideas about science form part of a larger framework of ideas means that it is easier to change them. 题干中children's ideas about science and framework可以做定位词,考点词为easier to change them。考生根据framework回原文定位到文章第二大段第三行...but organized, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, ...more robust but also accessible to modification. 原文中使用到了make sth adj这个结构表明framework and component ideas有两个特点more robust and accessible to modification, 这里的more这个比较级修饰了两个形容词:robust and accessible to modification, accessible to含有easy的概念,所以相当于表明了easier to change这个概念,很多考生在阅读时往往会忽略了这个隐含的比较级,会误选为not given, 实际答案应该为true。
