我們先瀏覽一下Test 1三篇文章的題目,題型包括段落細節(jié)定位題,summary 題,heading題,判斷題及選擇題,這些都是歷屆雅思考試主流??碱}型,建議考生們做套題時貴在沉住氣,靜心,對做題順序做整體的把握,并充分運用各題型的做題方法。

就PASSAGE 1做具體講解,QUESTIONS 1-5 是個段落細節(jié)定位題,這種題型要求我們基本上每一段都要看而且段落從頭到尾都得看,非常耗時,而且準確率不算高,通常情況下我們把這五道題留到最后去做,做完后面的題目對這道題是有幫助的。

QUESTIONS6-9 是個SUMMARY, 我們看題目要求,并沒有段落限制,很有可能答案就會很分散,但也不排除答案集中的情況。QUESTIONS 10-13 是個句子填空題,那么SUMMARY 題和句子填空題是相通的,它們都是填空題,在很多情況下,都是通過定位詞找細節(jié),所以我們可把這兩道題結合著做,劃好QUESTIONS 6-13的定位詞,去原文從第一段看起來,找細節(jié)。

第6題通過facial vision, pain, arm, leg 等定位詞,定位在D 段,即 like the referred pain in a phantom limb, 與題目的pain from a ______ arm or leg 進行了同義轉(zhuǎn)換,答案為 phantom.

第7題 the ability actually comes from perceiving ________ through the ears( 這種能力通過耳朵感知什么而得到). 我們按順序原則從原文繼續(xù)往下看 the sensation of facial vision , it turns out, really goes in though the ears. Blind people, without even being aware of the fact, are actually using echoes of their own footsteps and of other sounds, to sense the presence of obstacles. 定位詞ears 出現(xiàn),那么對這句話做理解,這種facial vision的感覺是通過耳朵得到的,盲人(沒有意識到這一點)通過耳朵感受回聲來感知障礙的存在。答案即為 echoes/ obstacles. 通過這道題perceiving ________,(感知 …)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)找動詞后面即為答案,sense the presence of obstacles.

第8題定位詞為instrument, calculate. 原文before this was discovered, engineers had already built instrument to exloit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship.動詞后為答案,calculate 和measure 同義轉(zhuǎn)換, 即測量depth.

第9題定位詞為wartime, device, finding. 原文after this technique had been invented, it was only a matter of time before weapons designers adapted it for the detection of submarines. Finding 和detection 同義轉(zhuǎn)換,即探尋 submarines.
