第二类:频度限定

例4 剑2 Test 4 Q 35

The most common type of road rage incident involved

A damage to property

B personal violence

C verbal abuse

思路透析:此题题干中出现了most common 这种表示频率的词,那么势必出现road rage的种种表现作为干扰项,而我们要等的是最为普遍的一种形式的同意转换。

实际做题:

原文:Well, as you can see, 93% of respondents had had some kind of problem. A surprisingly large percentage-24% had had their car damaged in some way, but the main type of incident was being shouted at-79% had experienced that. 15% had experienced violence on their own persons... they’d actually been hit by someone.

解题:正如我们所料,出现了violence和damage等road rage的表现形式作为干扰项,而我们所需要的是把most common 和main type 做同意转换,进而得到答案C。

例5 剑2 Test 3 Q 8

The respondents feels that adverts should occur every

A 10 minutes

B 15 minutes

C 20 minutes

思路透析:通过这个题的出题形式,能够看出是纯粹考查频率的一道题。

实际做题:听到how often 这个问题时确定做题位置。

原文:Well out of that list I’d say every quarter of an hour. I don’t think we can complain about that, as long as they don’t last for ten minutes each time!

解题:此题用每次广告所持续的时间10分钟为干扰项,加以排除。把15分钟和quarter进行同意转换后得到答案B。

总结:在此提醒考生们,当题目中出现表示频率的词时要加以注意,这样的词通常包括:frequency, frequent, frequently, common, commonly, usual, usually, average, averagely, every ...minutes 等。

第三类:名词限定

例 6 剑6 Q 33

Asiatic lions disappeared from Europe

A 2500 years ago

B 2000 years ago

C 1900 years ago

思路透析:此题题干中出现了Europe 这一名词加以限定,所以解题时要注意哪个时间紧跟着欧洲那么哪个选项就很有可能是正确答案。

实际做题:

原文:However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lion roaming free two thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere in India.

解题: 1900年这个选项是跟着印度的,故排除。2000年是跟着欧洲出现的,故答案为B。

总结:有时候一些具有实际意义的名词对这个题目的范围进行了限定,那么其实题目就出现了简化的机会,重点关注哪个选项是出现在这个名词周围的就可以轻松得到答案了。

综上所述,雅思选择题很容易对题干进行时间,频率,以及名词的限定。提前发现这些限定能够帮助我们确认解题方向,进而进行有的放矢式的解题,能大大提高解题的正确率。
