首先我们来看一个例子:
例1 剑6 Test 4 Qs 28-30
Which three topics do this term’s study skills workshops cover?
A An introduction to the Internet
B How to carry out research for a dissertation
C Making good use of the whole range of library services
D Planning a dissertation
E Standard requirements when writing a dissertation
F Using the Internet when doing research
G What books and technical resources are available in the library
实际做题:1)首先出现了library这个定位词,那么经历主要集中在C,G上。
原文:How to use the library’s resources. That includes everything, not just the print and the technical resources.
解题:通过同义转换可以得到答案C,或者G 选项所包含的technical resources被否定了,排除后也可以选择正确选项为C。
2)紧接着出现Internet这个定位词,马上把注意力转移到A,F上。
原文:The one on the Internet for beginners was last term. This term it’s finding research materials online.
解题:beginner 与 introduction 形成同义转换,但是时间点为上学期,作为干扰项排除后正确答案为F。
3)最后出现了dissertation这个定位词,那么B,D,E三选一就开始了。
原文:It’s a workshop on dissertation. What do you mean? How to write one? Er, no, it’s to do with academic writing conventions.
解题:文中问到,是怎么写一篇论文吗?回答不是的。故可以排除B,D,因为这两个选项是属于怎样写论文的,这样就可以得到正确答案E. 或者把writing conventions 与 standard requirements 做同义转换也可。
看过多选题后,我们再来看一个单选题的例子:
例2 剑7 Test 4 Q 32
In 1908, scientists in Japan
A made monosodium glutamate
B began using kombu
C identified glutamate
思路透析:典型的雅思3选1单选题。经过审题后发现,A,C选项都为动词加名词的结构,而且名词都是glutamate,故这两个选项里出正确答案的几率很高。
实际做题:首先出现了kombu这个定位词,但是并没有与1908这样一个时间形成匹配,故先排除B。
原文:...was actually discovered to be glutamate by scientists working there
解题:discover 与 identify 形成同义转换,答案为C
