第二類：間接比較

例4 劍3 Test 1 Q 32

According to the speaker， the main cause of back pain in women is

A pregnancy

B osteoporosis

C lack of exercise

思路透析：在審題中發(fā)現(xiàn)有main cause 這樣的間接比較提示詞，那此題很顯然要列出幾個(gè)造成女性背疼的原因，但是要進(jìn)行對(duì)比得出誰(shuí)是主要原因。

實(shí)際做題：聽到women 就確定了做題位置。

原文：The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoprosis， which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women.

解題：在原文中我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)pregnancy 和 osteoprosis 是并列出現(xiàn)的，但是后者緊跟著就是一個(gè)非限定性的定語(yǔ)從句，指出后者是major cause，也就是main cause的同義轉(zhuǎn)換，故答案為B.

例5 劍2 Test 4 Q 32

The main research method was

A interviews

B questionnaires

C observation

思路透析：審題時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)有main 這樣一個(gè)比較關(guān)系提示詞，做好聽到比較關(guān)系的準(zhǔn)備。

實(shí)際做題：可以用research來(lái)進(jìn)行定位。
