So in this case, I see nothing about rats being the most common nuisance.
就這個案例來說,我沒有看見任何關于老鼠是最常見的害蟲的內容。
It doesn't say, "Rats are the most common nuisance." It also doesn't say they are not.
文章中并沒有提到"Rats are the most common nuisance.",也沒有說它們不是。
So in this case, my answer would be "not given".Okay.
那么在這個例子里,我的答案是“文章中沒有提到”。
Now, there are some important things I want to go over just quickly.
還有一些重要的事情我想跟你們講一下,很快的。
One of the things I want to tell you is even if you read a statement -- okay, you read the passage, you read the statement.
我想告訴你們的一件事是,即使你們讀了一個陳述句,把文章和陳述句都看了一遍。
Maybe you study rats at university, maybe you're an expert, and you know for a fact rats are the most common nuisance Torontonians face, "This is 100 percent true. I know it."
也許你們在大學里研究過老鼠,也許你們是這方面的專家,而且你們非常肯定老鼠就是多倫多最常見的害蟲,你們覺得“這百分之百是正確的,我很清楚。”
If you don't see it in the reading passage, it doesn't matter if it is true or not, okay?
但是,如果你們在文章中沒有看到這個內容,它正確與否并不重要。
Even if you know it's true, if you don't see it, the answer is "not given", okay? So that's very important.
即使你們知道它是正確的,但是如果文中沒有出現,那么答案就是“文章中沒有提到”,好嗎?這一點很重要。
Another important point is don't spend too much time on each fact because what can happen is maybe there's no information.
另外一個重要的事情就是,不要在每個陳述句上都花很長時間,因為可能文章中并沒有關于這句話的信息。
Maybe it is a "not given", but if you think "I've got to find it", "I've got to find it", "I've got to find it", and you keep searching, you'll waste a lot of time, and the answer might just be it's not there.
也許它就是“文章中沒有提到”,但是如果你們覺得“我一定要找到它”,“我一定要找到它”,“我一定要找到它”,然后一直找一直找,你們會浪費很多時間的,而且答案可能就是不在文章中。
So it's better to spend some time on it, just a little time, and guess if you don't know.
所以你們最好每個句子只花一點時間,如果不知道的話就猜一個答案。
You can always put a star and go back after, so maybe, if I didn't know this, I'd put a star; I'd move on to the next question, and then I'd take a guess.
你們永遠都可以先做個記號,然后回頭再來看,所以,如果我不知道這一題的答案,我會畫個星號,繼續做下一題,之后再猜一下這一題的答案。
So that's also a very important point.
這一點同樣也很重要。
