一、看清题目要求
熟悉雅思阅读的考生应该知道,有些雅思阅读题型会在题目处表明答案所处在的段落。例如,summary部分题型会明确规定段落。
例:剑桥雅思6 Test 1 Passage 3 33-40题
Questions 33-40
Complete the summary of paragraphs C and D below.
Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from paragraphs C and D for each answer.
Write your answers in boxes 33-40 on your answer sheet.
If you visit the Canadian Arctic, you immediately appreciate the problems faced by people for whom this is home. It would clearly be impossible for the people to engage in 33........................ as a means of supporting themselves. For thousands of years they have had to rely on catching 34........................ and 35........................ as a means of sustenance. The harsh surroundings saw many who tried to settle there pushed to their limits, although some were successful. The 36........................ people were an example of the latter and for them the environment did not prove unmanageable. For the present inhabitants, life continues to be a struggle. The territory of Nunavut consists of little more than ice, rock and a few 37......................... In recent years, many of them have been obliged to give up their 38........................ lifestyle, but they continue to depend mainly on 39........................ for their food and clothes. 40........................ produce is particularly expensive.
在题号下面就明确规定了答案段落出处(complete the summary of paragraphs C and D below)。考生在完成回答问题题之前需要明确知道,回答问题题是不会给出答案范围的,因此需要考生到文章中自行定位,这无疑给许多考生带来了不小的麻烦。
二、看清字数限制
填词类题型最大的共同点就是这类题型一定都会给出具体的字数限制,例如:no more than two words; no more than three words; no more than three words and/or a number, 因此,考生所填的答案必须符合题目字数要求,任何超过规定字数限制的答案都是不得分的。其次,我们可以发现,但凡字数限制里面包含了数字的,那么必然会有题目的答案是数字,这个小技巧也可以帮助考生在没办法用题干定位的时候,通过数字去文章中定位,反推出答案的出处。
