有过考场经验的考生大都有一个体会,并不是每次都能很幸运地快速查找到答案,在几番阅读理解未果的情况下,考生通常不得不继续读上下文。建议考生,这时若能对上下文之间的关联有上佳的理解,又能把握文章的大体脉络,无疑是对解题的莫大帮助。
在剑桥雅思真题系列IV中,Q13 / Passage 1 / Test 1:
题目:Answer the following questions by choosing the correct responses A-P. (Matching)
Which of the responses is cited as unexpectedly uncommon, given the amount of time spent on the issue by the newspapers and television?
本题是这一组Matching 题目Q9-13中难度最大的一个,考生应能根据整体文章的脉络意识到本题信息的大体位置。由于Q9-12均按顺序出场,而且覆盖了文章大部分中间篇幅,在应对最后一题Q13时,应考虑与Q12的关联,在随后的篇幅中按照关键词索骥。
句中unexpectedly uncommon 是非常合适的关键词,而time 以及随后出现的以newspaper 为代表的媒体是具体特征。
在全文倒数第三段中Line 4 出现了: This is surprising considering the high level of media coverage on this issue.
句中出现了和关键词unexpectedly uncommon吻合的 surprising, 以及对应于time / newspapers的media coverage, 可知考点在此处,但细读下来,考生仍然难以在此找到最终答案,因为题目中讲的是 Which of the responses , 所以答案应该是孩子们回答中的内容。
虽然答案尚未出现,但可以确定距离此处不远,可望依托上下文找出答案。在紧邻的上一句中:Only a few of the pupils (6%) mentioned that rainforest destruction may contribute to global warming. 可知下一句的This 指的是global warming.在此,语义场所铺垫的整个语义指向起到了关键性的作用。最终选择答案 J. As the rainforests are destroyed, the world gets warmer.
