这是一组只有四题的Local的Summary，只对应文章中最后一个段落。虽然很断，但很清楚，原文中所标明的考点位置仍然明确地体现出了原题空与空之间、句与句之间的逻辑关系和顺序。这一现象其实在大量的Summary题目中都存在。
二、主旨or细节？
再说第一要素Gist/Detail。尽管由于近年来Local的Summary比较活跃，题目所考察的信息有时候相当具体。但作为一段连续文字、完整句子构成的段落，语句之间没有任何关联式无论如何让人难以想象的事情。
应当指出，说Summary是偏Gist的题型，或者体现出对Gist考察的题型，并不等于最后填空的答案就是文章大意。这是两个概念。和Heading直接以段落主题为主要信息考察点，并且答案常常就是段落TS的改写不一样的是，Summary对于主旨性，结构性信息的考察更多体现在过程中。我们用于填写的或者选择的答案往往只是单词或词组，这意味着他们本身并不足以体现出大意，但一两个点睛的信号词（signposts）则可以清楚地表明题目各考察点的逻辑关系在原文中的对应，从而让我们得以到达最后一步，极大地提高解题过程的速度和准确性。
{结论}
Summary的考点词也许是细节的，但分析定位出这些考点需要的辅助信息往往仍然是结构性的。
我们再次利用上面的例子来进行说明。
Questions 10-13
The island will be partially protected from storms by … (10)… and also by … (11) … Further settlement caused by … (12) … will be prevented by the use of … (13) …
TEXT The airport, though, is here to stay. To protect it, the new coastline is being bolstered with a formidable twelve kilometers of sea defences. The brunt of a typhoon will be deflected by the neighbouring island of Lantau (10题考点所在); the sea walls (11题考点所在) should guard against the rest. Gentler but more persistent bad weather – downpours of the summer monsoon (12题考点所在) – is also being taken into account. A mat-like material called geotextile (13题考点所在) is being laid across the island to separate the rock and sand layers. That will stop sand particles from being washed into the rock voids, and so causing further settlement. This island is being built never to be sunk.
