雅思听力难题解析：选择题

一、重要性

雅思考试中选择题并不是一个重点考题，但是选择题确实一个必做不可的题目。由于选择题并不需要填写单词，因此对于那些苦于单词拼写的同学，选择题就是他们的救命稻草了。

二、难点及应对

阅读速度

由于雅思考试需要边听边做，因此在内容开始之前将试卷通读一遍是非常重要的，但是由于考试的时间是有限的(每一个section前只有30秒)，如果当需要读的信息比较多的时候可能没有办法读完。

这边的5题一共有将近200个单词，在短短的30秒钟内全部看完确实有非常大的难度。这时建议考生要采取丢车保帅的方式，也就是抓住中间的最重要的信息，而将其他的次要信息省略不看。对于单选题来说，题干极其重要，往往我们需要通过题干来定位到每一题，我们要记住，雅思考试中答案是按照顺序读出来的，也就是顺序原则，所以选择题的答案往往都在题干之后读出来。因此在审题的时候将所有的题干全部过一遍就非常重要了。这也就是我们可以找寻到的第一个方法略。

第31题的题干的意思是Anita开始觉得Matthews的文章非常重要，是当她意识到的时候。下面我们来看看这边的文字答案。

Tapescripts:

My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left- or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more successful. Im left-handed myself and I actually didnt see any relevance to my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to say would be of real interest. I think Matthews findings will be beneficial, not so much in...

这边作者先介绍了一下自己的情况，也就是left-handed，这里和选项A比较相近，但是此时并没有读出题干来，因此我们完全可以排除A这个答案。(根据我们上面提到的顺序原则)接下来，作者提到了Peter Matthews这个人，并且提到了music，也就是和B很相近，此时他的态度是almost put me off，这个和题干中的of value矛盾，也就是这个也不是答案。此时我们已经可以很顺利的选到正确答案C了。将错误的信息全部排除，剩下的就一定是正确的答案。

当然此题可以通过同义词互换做出来，也就是这边标注了答案的地方:sheer volume和C选项中的impressive size是类似的意思。但是很多同学会发现，这个词比较难听懂。也就无法很快的找到答案了。

干扰信息

往往选择题给答案的时候，不会这么容易让我们听出错误的选项，也就是会将错误选项读的非常像正确的。导致许多同学在听力中出错误。

下面我们看到上面题目中第35题的文字答案：

Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by fishing ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness - though for them right- and left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies showed that apes consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.

这道题最大的难度不是听出fished out 30% more ants是和A选项的more successful是同义词互换，而是很多同学会将前面的right- and left-handedness is about equal误认为就是B选项的same proportion of left- and right-handers，而导致选错答案。也就是我们上面刚刚提到的需要排除错误选项即干扰信息。这就是我们所说的做选择题的另外一个思路剔。
