【摘要】很多國家都把雅思考試作為衡量學生語言的標準。因此,做好充足的考前準備并了解雅思各種題型的出題特點和答題方法就顯得尤為重要。本文旨在分析雅思閱讀考試中的“人名觀點搭配”題型的解題步驟和答題方法。
【關鍵詞】雅思閱讀;人名觀點搭配;解題策略
一、雅思閱讀人名觀點搭配題的答題要點
(1)人名觀點搭配題考察方向多為某人的觀點、研究成果、言論和評論等。由此我們可以判斷,這種題答案的分布應該在以下幾個地方。a. 直接引語。我們可以重點看人名后面引號里的內容;b. 賓語從句。常見形式為:某人+thinks/says/believes/ argues/admits…+從句;c. 人稱代詞??吹饺朔Q代詞應當繼續(xù)往上看文章內容,找到離人稱代詞最近的人名,確定選項。常見形式為:He/she thinks/says/insists/believes/argues/admits…+that從句。(2)文中找人名的時候一定要帶著所有人名從頭至尾瀏覽一次找完,人名大多會多次出現(xiàn),要仔細認真尋找,并作出標記。
二、雅思閱讀人名觀點搭配題的答題步驟
(1)首先要認真讀題,看題目要求中是否出現(xiàn) NB;(2)快速瀏覽題目中的觀點或者評論內容,并在其中劃出關鍵詞,觀察題目中是否出現(xiàn)否定詞、比較級、極端意義詞等,如果有的話,可以標出來作為關鍵信息;(3)在瀏覽文章的時候,要快速劃出人名并在旁邊標注選項符號(A、B、C等)因為本題型屬于亂序,因此不管先出現(xiàn)哪個人名或者題目的答案,我們都不必在意,只需按著文章的順序去找人就行;(4)確定答題順序。瀏覽完全文,標出人名選項后,我們可以了解到哪些人出現(xiàn)次數(shù)多,哪些出現(xiàn)次數(shù)少,甚至有的人只出現(xiàn)一次。那么,這個時候,我們應當從只出現(xiàn)一次的人看起,只有一次,觀點也只有一個,那么很容易選出答案;(5)關鍵詞對應,原文及題目的關鍵詞對應,選出正確答案。
三、例題解析
A. Uganda may be one of the worlds poorest countries,but it has been blessed with a climate that is almost perfect. With sunshine going spare, one Ugandan electrician, Fred Kajubi,believes he has the solution to the countrys power shortage—low-tech solar panels that can run anything from a radio to a mobile phone.B.The materials for the solar panels come from a company in Britain called BioDesign, set up five years ago by a retired inventor, Graham Knight. After seeing a TV programme on the invention of a radio powered by clockwork, Mr Knight decided that in some parts of the world, solar power would be a more effective energy resource for radios and similar everyday equipment. He set up a firm to make the components for low-cost solar panels for use in Africa and South America. C. Even the World Bank, often criticized for being obsessed with large-scale power projects, recognises that there is place for solar power. According to a World Bank representative, solar power can be an effective complement to grid-based electricity, which is often too costly for sparsely settled and remote areas.
Questions 1-3
Look at the following descriptions (Questions 1-3) and the list of people below.
