火眼金睛找雅思阅读定位词
英语课
雅思阅读考试的目的是考察考生通过学术话题文章的阅读定位所需信息,理解、掌握并获取知识的能力,而其中定位词扮演着至关重要的角色。发现有很多考生抱怨说“题目特点和解题技巧都很清楚,定位词也能找准,可就是定位不到题目在文章中对应内容的位置”。
其实这源于考生还是没有真正了解雅思;雅思考试以4、6级词汇为基础,不存在难点,但其狡猾之处就在于它的词汇会变形,孙悟空有72变,八戒36变,女大有18变,而雅思定位词当然也会“36变”。考生若没有抓住雅思阅读考试的这一特点,便休想定位到题目在文章中对应内容的位置。下面,朗阁海外考试研究中心就将结合雅思真题来介绍一下雅思阅读中定位词是如何“36变”的。
★ 雅思定位词在文章中出现的第一种也是最常见的一种变身是“同义替换”,这包含同义词或同义词组。
剑6,Test4的Q9:Kim Schaefer’s marketing 1 technique may be open to criticism on moral grounds。题目中定位词为moral,在文章中定位,我们会在文章第三段中定位到“Selling pharmaceuticals 2 is a daily exercise in ethical 3 judgment”,而其中ethical即为moral的同义词。
剑4,Test3的Q9:Any street child can set up their own small business if given enough support.此判断题中定位词实际上是词组“set up their own small business ”,在文章中定位,我们会在文章中“Lessons learned” 的部分中定位到“Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone, not for every street child”。此处,文章中“Being an entrepreneur”即为定位词的同义词组。
其他的同义词/词组变身如:
perceive →sense evolve →develop detect →find
mortal →people unbiased → objective
limb → arm or leg waste→ unwanted material
resemble → look like dwelling 4 → domestic building
★ 雅思定位词在文章中出现的第二种变身是“近义替换”,这包含近义词或近义词组。
剑7,Test1的Q8:However, even before this was understood, the principle had been applied 5 in the design of instruments which calculated the ____ of the seabed。 此题为在原文中选词填空的摘要题,定位词为“calculate”和“seabed”, 在文章中我们会定位到“Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship”。此处“measure”即为“calculate”的近义词,而“sea”即为“seabed”的上义词。
其他的近义词/词组变身如:
salary → wage statement → comment
