雅思阅读不可不知的逻辑关系,学会你也能上7!

在比较逻辑关系中,比较级是常见的论证方式,但是类比和对比也是英语文章中非常常见的论证手段,一般涉及到单个事物或若干个事物之间的比较,但这两种方法却有着本质上的不同。

类比(compare)强调两个对象的相似点,比如A和B的相同点是什么。而对比(contrast)则强调两个对象的不同点,比如A很高B却很低。

接下来,让我们从剑桥真题中看看,有哪些考点会涉及到类比和对比。


*类比连接词

similarly, be similar to, as, like, alike,likewise, corresponding to, equal, identical, same, by the same token, the same is true of , in the same way, resemble,agree,share,harmony,compare to/with …, comparable

例题1

题目 C521 Q1 填空

Some plastics behave in a similar way to __________ in that they melt under heat and can be moulded into new forms.

文章 P2

Some are ‘thermoplastic’, which means that, like candlewax, they melt when heated and can be reshaped.

翻译 :

有些塑料是“热塑型”的,这意味着,它们像蜡烛一样,会在加热时会融化,然后就可以重新塑形。

解析:

定位后,利用题中类比词in a similar way to, 可以找到文中对应词like, 也就是统一替换,答案就是candlewax了。

例题2

题目 C442 Q27 填空

However, as archaeologists do not try to influence human behaviour, the writer compares their style of working to that of a __________.

文章 Last Paragraph:

The objects the archaeologists discover, on the other hand, tell us nothing directly in themselves. In this respect, the practice of the archaeologist is rather like that of the scientist, who collects data, conducts experiments, formulates a hypothesis, tests the hypothesis against more data…

翻译 :

另一方面,考古学家发现的这些物体本身并没有告诉我们什么。 从这个方面说来,考古学家的实践经历跟科学家非常像,他们收集数据,操作实验,制定假说,用假说检验更多的数据。

解析:

审题时重点关注题中类比词compare ... to …,定位后,可以找到文中替换词rather like, 答案即 scientist。

例题3

题目 C10’11 Q11 表格填空

Looks more like a __________ than a well.

文章 :

It actually resembles a tank (kund means reservoir or pond) rather than a well, but displays the hallmarks of step well architecture, including four sides of steps that decend to the bottom in a stunning geometrical formation.

翻译 :

它实际上长的像一个水库(kund意味着水库或池塘)而不是一个井,但却展示了梯井结构的特点,包括下降到底部的四个阶梯面,这四面拥有着绝美的几何对称图案。

解析:

审题时关注类比词like,定位后,发现resemble,意思相当于look like, 答案呼之欲出 tank.

* 对比连接词

while, however, nevertheless,otherwise,whereas, in contrast, on the contrary, rather than, instead of, conversely, unlike,different, incompatible, conflicting, change, vary, in opposition to, distinguish...from.. ,be distinct from sth…

例题1

题目 C10’23 Q37 判断

The approach of art historians conflicts with that of art museums.

文章 :

Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialised academic approach devoted to discovering the meaning of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in perfect harmony with the museum’s function.

翻译 :

因此,主流的批判方法成为艺术史学家的批判方式,这是一种专门的*方法,致力于发现在当时的文化背景下艺术的意义。 这与博物馆的功能达到了完美一致。

解析:

审题时获取考点词conflict,正是对比连接词,定位后发现in harmony with,意思是“与……协调、一致”,所以二者并非矛盾,而是一致的,因此答案选NO。

例题2

题目 C11’32 Q18 判断

Dingle’s aim is to distinguish between the migratory behaviours of different species.

文章 :

The value of his definition, Dingle argues, is that it focuses attention on what the phenomenon of wildebeest migration shares with the phenomenon of the aphids, and therefore helps guide researchers towards understanding how evolution has produced them all.

翻译 :

Dingle认为,他定义的价值在于它将注意力集中于在牛羚迁徙现象与蚜虫迁徙现象的共同点上,因而有助于指导研究人员了解进化是如何将它们制造出来的。

解析:

审题关注到判断题对比词aim is to distinguish, 定位后,对应到原文中的focuses attention on,发现类比词share,表示“共享,公用”,与题目的distinguish“区分”意思冲突,所以答案选择FALSE。

一般来说,阅读方面通过句子意思、句子关系、段落意思、段落关系的方法来理解文章的逻辑和要表达的观点非常关键。

关于逻辑关系的利用在剑桥真题实例不胜枚举,雅思阅读当中涉及到的比较级考点的题目还是很多的,建议大家在平时训练的时候,认真分析、总结并利用这些策略。
