由于雅思考试需要边听边做,因此在内容开始之前将试卷通读一遍是非常重要的,但是由于考试的时间是有限的(每一个section前只有30秒),如果当需要读的信息比较多的时候可能没有办法读完。

这边的5题一共有将近200个单词,在短短的30秒钟内全部看完确实有非常大的难度。这时朗阁海外考试研究中心就建议考生要采取“丢车*帅”的方式,也就是抓住中间的*重要的信息,而将其他的次要信息省略不看。对于单选题来说,题干极其重要,往往我们需要通过题干来定位到每一题,我们要记住,雅思考试中答案是按照顺序读出来的,也就是“顺序原则”,所以选择题的答案往往都在题干之后读出来。因此在审题的时候将所有的题干全部过一遍就非常重要了。这也就是我们可以找寻到的个方法——略。
第31题的题干的意思是Anita开始觉得Matthews的文章非常重要,是当她意识到……的时候。下面我们来看看这边的文字答案。
Tapescripts:
My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left- or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more successful. I''m left-handed myself and I actually didn''t see any relevance to my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to say would be of real interest. I think Matthews'' findings will be beneficial, not so much in...
这边作者先介绍了一下自己的情况,也就是"left-handed",这里和选项A比较相近,但是此时并没有读出题干来,因此我们完全可以排除A这个答案(根据我们上面提到的顺序原则)。接下来,作者提到了"Peter Matthews"这个人,并且提到了music,也就是和B很相近,此时他的态度是"almost put me off",这个和题干中的"of value"矛盾,也就是这个也不是答案。此时我们已经可以很顺利的选到正确答案C了。——将错误的信息全部排除,剩下的就一定是正确的答案。
当然此题可以通过同义词互换做出来,也就是这边标注了答案的地方:"sheer volume"和C选项中的"impressive size"是类似的意思。但是很多同学会发现,这个词比较难听懂。也就无法很快的找到答案了。
干扰信息
往往选择题给答案的时候,不会这么容易让我们听出错误的选项,也就是会将错误选项读的非常像正确的。导致许多同学在听力中出错误。
下面我们看到上面题目中第35题的文字答案:
Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by ''fi
