本文中,朗阁老师就带大家了解一下三大常见多选题的出题思路及相应的解题技巧。
作为雅思听力考试的高难度题型之一,多选题一直是令广大考生“头疼”的一类题型。因其节奏快,选项多,且选项往往乱序出现,导致考生很难在短时间内有效定位正确选项。同时,多选题因其偏向于设置干扰选项的题型特点,干扰选项和正确选项往往同时出现,进一步增加了考生做题的难度。雅思听力多选题从形式上来说,主要分两种---五选二和七选三;从内容上分,可以分成可归类的和不可归类的;从正确答案的考察目的来说,可以分成原文原词和同义替换两种形式。接下来,朗阁海外考试研究中心就带大家了解一下三大常见多选题的出题思路及相应的解题技巧。
出题思路之一:选项间有相同的关键词
Eg.1
C6T4S3:
Questions 28-30:
Which three topics do this term’s study skills workshops cover?
A An introduction to the Internet
B How to carry out research for a dissertation
C Making good use of the whole range of library services
D Planning a dissertation
E Standard requirements when writing a dissertation
F Using the Internet when writing a dissertation
G What books and technical resources are available in the library
刚开始听到这道题的时候,可能多数考生会觉得“云山雾绕”,感觉选项间的表述都差不太多,但是仔细一看会发现几乎每个选项间都有相同的关键词,那么这就是这道题的一个切入点。利用选项间相同的关键词来进行分组,从而将选项合并同类项。首先,根据关键词Internet 将A和F选项归为一组;其次再利用dissertation将B,D,E 划为一组;*后,剩下C和G,可暂且以resources作为关键词,归到第三组。这样一来,我们就将7个选项分成了三组,思路顿时清晰了许多,在听的过程中也更有针对性了。根据分组法同一组内不能同时选的原则,*后答案出来是C E F,正好符合了分组法的原则。分组法虽然好用,但也有它的适用范围,只可用于选项间有相同关键词的情况,例如C6T4S3这道题。
出题思路之二:巧用连接词定位并列选项
Eg.2
C4T2S3:
Questions 25-26:
Which two disadvantages of the questionnaire form of data collection do the students discuss?
A The data is sometimes invalid.
B Two few people may respond.
C It is less likely to reveal the unexpected.
D It can only be used with literate populations.
E There is a delay between the distribution and return of questionnaires.
这是一道探讨关于调查问卷缺点的题目,首先可以根据原文描述锁定B选项;其次对于另一选项的定位便可以借助连接词来实现,根据原文中所说的another drawback I remember it mentioned was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected,可以定位到C选项。这里借助的连接词便是another drawback.
同样,在多选题里面表示并列的连接词还有很多,比如说and,besides,not only...but also...,in addition, moreover,what’s more,as well as, together with等等。
出题思路之三:正确选项同义替换,干扰选项否定排除。
Eg.3
C8T4S3
Questions 21-22
In which two ways is Dan financing his course?
A He is receiving money from the government.
B His family are willing to help him.
C The college is giving him a grant.
D His local council is supporting him for a limited period.
E A former employer is providing partial funding.
在这道多选题里面,说话者先是通过否定排除明确否定了A C D 选项。然后,在表述E选项时,用了同义替换的the boss of the company I used to work for来进行正确选项的同义替换。
总之,在多选题的解答过程中,要注意题干关键词和选项关键词的有效定位,同时也要注意结合原文排除干扰选项。在平时的学习和练习中要多注重同义替换词的积累,从而有效应对多选题的替换陷阱。
