英语四级段落信息匹配题最详尽解法说明

时间: 未知2 阅读理解
  从样卷看,此次涉及改革题目的特点是:
  1、做题时间10~15分钟(整体阅读包括选词填空、匹配和精度,共计40分钟);
  2、四级样卷显示需要将10道题目信息配对到9个段落中;
  3、六级样卷显示需要将10道题目信息配对到15个段落中;
  4、考试说明提到,某段可能被用到两次,而某段可能完全不被涉及。
  5、这类题型的出题形式为:题干给出原文的若干条细节信息,要求考生找出文
  中分别有这些信息的段落(即题目当中会问道:which paragraph contains the following information?)。
  实际考试中,在时间和耐力的双重压迫下,无奈的考生们颇有“可能就在此段中,只因文深不知处”的感慨!
  难点分析:
  1、顺序原则被打破
  段落细节信息配对题之所以让无数考生闻之色变,主要在于这种题目打破了解答雅思阅读题目传统的阅读技巧和解题思路。首先,作为匹配题代表,这种题型明显不会遵守其他主流题型的“顺序原则”,考生从文章开头到结尾定位的方法显然行不通;
  2、题目均为长句形式
  其次,题目当中的表述通常是极其复杂和繁琐的名词短语或者长难句型,在试图寻找合适的定位词之前,考生往往就业已被题干错中复杂的表述搞得云里雾里了;
  例如四级样卷第51题:
  The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharply after September 11 due to changes in the visa process.
  3、定位词模糊
  即使考生能够排除万难,读懂题目陈述中晦涩难懂的意思,寻找定位词仍然存在很大的障碍,因为这类题目往往不会出现非常明显的可以实践拿来主义的明显定位词(数字、时间、地点、人物、特殊字体和特殊符号等等),即使侥幸被我们碰到一个,这个定位词也通常和文章主题联系密切,且出现多次,所以并没有太大实用意义,例如上题中的U.S.;
  4、两题对一段的可能性增加干扰性
  最后,一般选择题至少是一对一进行对应的,如果能够成功选出一对,那么就至少可以排除一个选项。但是在段落细节信息对应题当中,四六级样卷明确提醒:
  You may choose a paragraph more than once.
  一段可能被用两次。这样最有效的排除法在这里也就再无用武之地了。
  所以,从上面四个特点不难看出,如果想从根本上解决这种题型,考试方的思路是希望考生能够从头到尾读完一遍文章,从宏观和微观两个方面全面掌握文章的结构和细节信息之后再进行解题的,但是这种思路对于阅读水平和单词量都有限的四六级考生来说有些难
  针对四级样题,我们对四级考生提出以下做题建议:
  段落信息匹配题的做题攻略
  一、先看题再看文章
  1、段落细节信息配对题的陈述虽然都是文章细节信息,但是表述基本都是围绕文章标题或者每一段落的主题进行描述的,通过快速阅读题干部分表述,可以迅速了解文章主旨大意。
  如四级样卷中Q46~Q48
  46
  American universities prepare their undergraduates for global careers by giving them chances for international study or internship.
  47
  Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.
  48
  The enrollment of international students will have a positive impact on America rather than threaten its competitiveness.
  熟悉四级场景词汇的同学一定认识:university, enrollment, students 名词形式,文章关于美国大学教育或学生的主题就此迅速清楚;
  在考生看过文章标题Universities Branch Out之后,通过快速预览这道段落细节信息配对题的题干部分,考生可以马上了解到文章所围绕的主题是美国大学的扩张,即使题干中的每一个表述并不是文章的Topic sentence(主旨句),但是却都与文章的主题息息相关的。所以通过快速浏览这种题目的题干不失为在短时间内掌握文章主旨大意的一种方法。
  2、用特殊标记词汇尽快定位简单题目:
  特殊词汇包括:
  精确数据、非文章高频词的大写或专有名词、斜体或援引内容等
  如47题
  Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.
  3.9 percent.就是一个精确数据,直接定位至C段,即告选择成功。
  C段
  Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004.
  又如51题
  The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharply after September 11 due to changes in the visa process.
  September 11 是一个非高频专有大写,直接定位至H段即告定位成功。
  H段
  Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11…
  解决完前两步后,相对困难的时间开始了,我们建议考生用顺序梳理原文的方式,逐一进行答案的确认。
  二、一段一段速读文章,一道一道梳理题目
  1、速读每一段,关注段首段尾句和段内重点单词区域(例如逻辑关系等)
  段首或段尾句可以迅速告知本段主要内容,而常见阅读重点词汇及短语区域则是段内重点信息的表达。
  因果转折类:but however unfortunately since because the reason…
  让步关系:althoughthough
  递进关系: not only but alsomot merely but
  比较关系类:moreevenmore thanmost
  选择关系:either oror
  事实罗列:for examplein fact
  序数词:first second at last
  如四级样卷A段:
  重点区域:段尾句的转折关系
  But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.
  而定位至本句后,根据长难句中关注谓语宾语结构或表语结构,重点位置再次被定位至:has made universities a powerful force,以此句去匹配剩余题目即可。
  浏览至54题,发现:
  Present-day universities have become a powerful force for global integration.
  则答题成功。
  同理,F段重点句包含BUT
  The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible:
  浏览至53题,发现
  Around the world, governments encourage the model of linking university-based science and industrial application.
  则答题成功。
  2、用同意替换解决速读无法解决的段落及题目。
  同意替换是阅读类题目终极解决方案,它包括单词或短语甚至句子用另一种含义表达的所有形式。相对而言,四级部分更多强调词语的同意替换,例如上题中,段落中的link变成题目中的linking。
  当然,也有一定难度的题目来影响考生的分数。
  如四级样卷E段:
  Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.
  本段可以定位的位置有:
  首句尾句;4,300,95(精确数字);Fudan University(非高频大写专有)等。
  仔细浏览完毕题目,发现没有任何明显信息可以进行匹配。
  只有49题:
  The way research is carried out in universities has changed as a result of globalization.
  包含一个globalization.
  仔细分析,发现这句话对应的就是E段段首。其同意替换对应关系为:
  Reshape-has changed; research is done-research is carried out.
  同意替换因为有一定难度,于是成为匹配题最佳解决方案,这是一个需要积累和锻炼的能力,我们建议:
  第一、平时背词汇时,多多注意目标词汇的同意词和近义词,以及短语。特别关注其英文解释,这会逐渐给大家省很多力气;
  第二、每次做完题目后,都积累阅读和听力科目中全部同意替换的方式,今后考试中被重复考到几率是很高的。
  总结段落信息匹配题的做法:
  1、 先看题再回文章,包含两步:关注主题(主标题或副标题)+定位简单特殊明确的位置(如特殊数据)
  2、 速读文章再看题,需要关注重点词汇区域
  3、 最后使用同意替换能力来解决剩余题目
  最后,我们总结了一批常见的段落信息匹配的高频考点位置,请识记:
  涉及到首段的提示词:
  overview /past/introduction/initiation/
  orientation/main idea/view/concept/
  definition/cause/demonstration/
  essence/explanation…+topic
  涉及到尾段的提示词:
  future / in the future / solution /
  conclusion / suggest or suggestion /
  Summary/prediction/effect…+topic
  特殊词帮助定位:
  含有rate / ratio / proportion / percentage等词的信息往往对应%较多的段落
  含有number / figure / amount statistical / demographics等词的信息往往对应数字集中的段落
  含有financial / business / income / revenue / salary / wage / commercial等词的信息往往对应¥$符号多的段落
  含有time/ period等词的信息往往对应时间较多的段落
