本期重点分析Test 2第三篇The Birth of Scientific English的Summary题型。这篇Summary是剑桥5中最难的一篇,也是全文Summary的典范。
这篇文章的Summary题目共有7题(28-34题);题目要求是NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage.
In Europe, modern science emerged at the same time as the nation state. At first the scientific language of choice remained 28_________. It allowed scientists to communicate with other socially privileged thinkers while protecting their work from unwanted exploitation. Sometimes the desire to protect ideas seems to have been stronger than the desire to communicate them, particularly in the case of mathematicians and 29 ________. In Britain, moreover, scientists worried that English has neither the 30________ nor the 31_________to express their ideas. This situation only changed after 1660 when scientists associated with the 32_________ set about developing English. An early scientific journal fostered a new kind of writing based on short descriptions of specific experiments. Although English was then overtaken by 33_________, it developed again in the 19th century as a direct result of the 34___________.
如果这篇文章教师讲解时从28题开始,那么从学生角度而言是相当困难。原因在于:28-31题除了Europe和Britain之外,没有其他的定位词出现。如果学生仅靠以上两个词定位,完全无法回答前4题。因此这道题目的做题方法应该是运用数字定位,即先做32、33、34,然后倒推上去分别30和31、29、28题。这样做的好处是:利用年代定位是最快的方式;虽然文章中不一定会出现和题目中同样的年代表达方式,但是数字信息的存在可以大大缩短定位时间。
在分析32题时教师要特别分析该题所涉及的句式结构:This situation only changed after 1660 when scientists associated with the 32_________ set about developing English. 该句的主句是This situation only changed after 1660,从句是when scientists associated with the 32_________ set about developing English,在从句部分有两个动词associated和set about,因此这道题目在讲解是一定要突出scientists associated with the 32_________ 作为主语的概念,然后再到文章中定位搜索相关信息。第33题和34题做题的时候只能借助19th century定位信息。在文章中并没有Although句式的出现以及as a result of的原词对应内容,因此句式结构的转换和上下文内容的理解成为解题的关键!
同样的30和31题,题目中出现的neithernor结构在文章中也没有完全对应的内容,在文章中以lack形式出现,体现的是词组结构多样性的特点!第29题相对而言是较容易的一题,但是在教学过程我们发现很多学生在1分钟内容无法定位mathematicians这个词,而大部分学生在定位以后无法确定答案是什么,这主要是因为文章中并没有mathematicians and 29 ________原结构对应!而是要根据上下文的具体含义确定答案。因此。在教学过程中,教师也应该强调充分理解上下文的重要性! 而第28题则是最难的一题了,因为在题目中的词组或者句式在文章中没有对应的内容,完全要依靠paraphrasing技巧来做题!
除了这篇Summary题目之外,本套试题第一篇BAKELITE: The birth of modern plastics中的3题Summary难度也较高!在以后的教学论文中将对剑桥雅思5的其他题型作进一步分析!
