例8 Q: Early peoples found it easier to count by using fingers rather than a group of pebbles. (劍6 Test 2 Q40)

原文:… because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles, grains of corn, or the counter’s fingers.

在本例中,題目把finger和pebble進行了比較,但是原文中者兩個詞是并列關(guān)系,根本沒有進行比較,因此答案選NOT GIVEN。

例9 Q: Girls are more likely than boys to hold mistaken views about the rainforest’s destruction.

原文1:More girls (70%) than boys (60%) raised the idea of rainforest as animal habitats.

原文 2:More girls (13%) than boys (5%) said that rainforests provided human habitats.

在這道題目中,比較考點詞是more likely to hold mistaken views,原文中雖然也出現(xiàn)了比較,但是比較的內(nèi)容與題目完全不同,因此答案選NOT GIVEN。

此外,如果一道題目沒有出現(xiàn)明顯的考點詞,或者題目的重心位置中出現(xiàn)some, may, likely, not al l等語氣保守的詞的時候,這道題目選FALSE/ NO的概率就很小,選TURE/YES的概率相對較大。

例10 Q: Not all of the assistants survived to see the publication of the Dictionary.

原文:He was also helped by six assistants, two of whom died whilst the Dictionary was still in preparation。(劍5 Test 13)

題目中沒有明顯的考點詞,但是not all這個詞語氣非常保守,正好對應(yīng)的原文中的two of whom died,因此答案選YES。

例11 Q: Some peoples with simple number systems use body language to prevent misunderstanding of expression of number.

原文:But in real situations the number and words are often accompanied by gestures to help resolve any confusion.

本題同樣沒有明顯的考點詞,但是some 這個詞語氣保守,與原文中的often正好對應(yīng),故選TRUE。

判斷題可以說是雅思閱讀中中國學(xué)生最頭疼的題型,因為中國人一貫的做題邏輯與雅思考官的命題思路往往大相徑庭。但是經(jīng)過大量的分析我們發(fā)現(xiàn),一旦通過大量的實踐熟悉了雅思判斷題的題型,明白了判斷題的類別和做題方法,考生做題的正確率將會有一個很大的提高。
