参加雅思考试,考生总是会遇到各种各样的问题,导致自己不能取得理想的成绩,下面小编为大家带来了雅思阅读考试常出现的陷阱,一起来看看吧!
1、偷换概念陷阱
有时候选项中虽然与文中有对应的词,但选项中偷换了关键性的成分(如谓语部分),使得答案错误。如:
From the experiment described in Part 1, the writer found that the blind subjects
A、had good understanding of symbols representing movement。
B、could control the movement of wheels very accurately。
C、worked together well as a group in solving problems。
D、got better results than the sighted undergraduates. (剑4, Test 1, Q29 )
这道题目里面,很多考生会选C选项,因为原文里有这么一句话: … the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning at least as frequently as did sighted subjects.但是C选项偷换了group的概念,把blind subjects说成是组队来一起解决问题,这显然是文章中没有交代的。
2、偷换数字陷阱
选择题的特点便是选项进行深度的同义转换。但是如果个别选项中出现了数字,往往意味着这个数字直接来源于文章,没有进行任何同义替换。这种干扰选项对于根本读不懂原文的考生有着致命的诱惑力,因为只有数字是熟悉的,其它的单词都读不懂。数字选项中,数字在文章中都有提及,但经常是通过移花接木的形式出现的,以干扰考生的注意力。比如:
(剑3, Test 4, Q29 )The four divisions
A、each employed a staff of 500 clerks
B、each had equal levels of productivity
C、had identical patterns of organization
D、were randomly chosen for the experiment
原文中,数字500的确有所提及,但原文讲的是The study covered 500 clerical employees in fourparallel divisions。500名员工是实验所包含的总人数。
3、偷换相似陷阱
同理,如果题目中出现的个别单词与原文中的用词一模一样,尤其是一些经常被同义替换掉的动词、形容词等,这个选项往往就是干扰选项。比如例3中的D选项,很多同学误选了D就是因为random这个词在原文中出现过。但是同样,原为是说The four divisions were assigned to two experimental programmes on a random basis.四个部门被随机分配到两个实验项目中去,而不是四个部门是被随机挑选的。再举一例:
The writer was surprised because the blind woman
A、drew a circle on her own initiative。
B、did not understand what a wheel look like。
C、included a symbol representing movement。
D、was the first person to use lines of motion. (剑4, Test 1, Q28 )
A选项几乎与原文一样。但是通过仔细阅读便会发现,作者吃惊的原因并不是因为盲人妇女自己画了一个圈,而是因为To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle 。为了显示这种运动,她用在圈里面画了一个曲线。正确选项C选项与文章几乎没有相同之处,但仔细比对却包含了很多同义词转换: traced – included; curve – symbol; show – representing; movement – motion。
