雅思阅读备考中,在满眼都是字母的文章中,数字的出现异常显眼,恰如万绿丛中一点红,正因为如此,数字通常都会成为最理想的关键词之一。
举例如下:Q10 / Test 2 / Cambridge IV:
题目:Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 1-
The Navajo language will die out because it currently has too few speakers。
该句为带有原因状语从句的复合句,判断正误时,需分2步走,先判断主句,若主句是N 或NG中的一个,那么就以此为答案,无需再判断从句了;但若主句判断为 Y, 那么还需继续对从句加以判断,从句最终的 Y / N /NG 就是题目的答案。
主句中The Navajo language will die out 的内容已知晓,在文章首段的 Line 3: the native language is dying ,那么要判断的就是从句了。从其中的内容应该读出关键信息是 too few speakers. 这里包含了一点和数字相关的信息few, 换言之,文中有可能会涉及到数字。
到文中寻找,在第三段的Line 5 发现了 150,000 speakers. 回到句首读原句:Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers. 虽然没有明示150,000 speakers 是多还是少,不过despite 已经明确了语气:多。因为整句是说:尽管有150,000人讲纳瓦霍语,它还是面临危险地境地。这无疑是在说这个数字已经不少了。
因此,原句中的从句我们可以判断为错误,从而Q10 的答案是 NO。
举例二:Q 5 / T 1 / Cambridge 5
Johnson did not have a 5_________ available to him, but eventually produced definitions of inexcess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks。
由题目中出现的数字40,000 可以定位到原文中page 17 的第二段Line 4:
Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words, and illustrated their many meanings
返回到句首:The work was immense: filling about eighty large notebooks , 再由题目分析得知:所需答案为可数名词,并且是Johnson 在编撰词典的工作中不具备的,而文中括号里without a library to hand正好契合了该信息点,还有a 这个信号词进一步确定,答案就非它莫属了:library。
