二、非問句形式出現的單選題
此類選擇題相對復雜一些,選擇對象不明顯,需根據題目和選項意思尋找題目思路。此類選擇題選項也相對來說也比較長,比較復雜,容易受干擾因素影響。這類題目雅思常考的主要有以下幾類:
1. 概念解釋:考試中常常會就文中提到的某些概念或名詞作一些解釋,這些概念通常是不熟悉的,或者很容易產生誤解的。此類題目通常會以從句的形式出現,如…is who…/…is when…./…is that…./being…is….或者以一個簡單句sth be…/sth do…出現
例1:Cambridge 3 Test 1 Section 4 Question 36
Being overweighthttp://ks.examda.com
A. is a major source of back pain
B. worsens existing back pain
C. reduces the effectiveness of exercise.
解析:結合題干和選項,本題要求對超重作一個解釋,是一個簡單句,并且AB選項都和back pain有關,C選項則和exercise有關。原文中提到back pain時說到:the weight will increase the strain and make things worse,因此B選項為正確答案。
例2:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 4 Question 31
Corporate crime is generally committed
A. against individual
B. by groups
C. for companies
解析:題目要求對corporate crime進行解釋,是一個簡單句,補充的為一個介詞短語,三個選項都和犯罪主體或對象有關。原文用be defined as來引出定義:crime which is committed for the corporate organization-the company-not against it.幾乎和原題是一樣的表達方式,因此答案為C.
例3:Cambridge 4 Test 2 Section 2 Question 18
Loans are also available to students who
A. can't pay their rent
B. need to buy furniture
C. can't cover their living expenses
解析:該題為一個復雜句,補充的是一個定語從句來解釋哪種學生能得到貸款,并且從選項中可以發現這種貸款和生活有關。原文中提到:when you move into a new flat, starting up expenses including furniture for it can be covered by a loan.因此B為正確選項。
2. 個人,機構的看法,建議,喜好:在這類選擇題中通常能看到advise, suggest, recommend, like, think, according to等表示意見建議及喜好的單詞和詞組。在做題的過程中必須先搞清楚題目要求弄清的是誰的想法,是站在哪方的角度上考慮的,否則就很容易出錯了。
例1:Cambridge 3 Test 1 Section 4 Question 32
According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is
A. pregnancy
B. osteoporosis
C. lack of exercise
解析:題目要求找出女性背痛的一個主要原因,并且是說話人的一個個人想法。三個選項在原文中都有出現,當提到osteoporosis時說到:which I personally believe to be the major cause of problem for women,表達了自己的意見,因此答案為B.
