雅思阅读Not Given题辨析(两例)

 这是两道学生问我的问题，很有代表性，所以与大家分享一下。感谢这位同学的提问，正是无数个他们的问题，促成了我对雅思阅读的深入思考，也带给了广大考生解决阅读问题的方法。如果没有他们，也就没有今天的《无词阅读法》。所以我常说：“人生不在于记录，在于思考”!

1.

原文：A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) revealed that 78% shares were female, the majority of whom were between the ages of 20 and 40.

题干：The majority of male job shares are between 20 and 40.

答案：NG

误解： I thought it was N, 按照F2原则“原文与题干考点相同但具体内容不同”

辨析：这道题目的定位词应该是male job sharers，考点词是majority，绝对考点。原文中根本没有定位词，当然是NG1(根本没有定位词)。你的问题出在违反了“先定位，后判断”的原则，在没有定位的情况下就做了判断。

2.

原文：A 1991 study of employees working under supervisory positions shared by two people showed that those who prefer such a situation do so for several reasons. Most prevalent were those who felt there was less bias in the evaluation of their work because having two assessments provided for a greater degree of fairness.

题干：Most employees prefer to work under a shared supervisory position.

答案：NG

误解： I thought it was Y

辨析：定位词为a shared supervisory position，考点词为most。原文中有定位词，但是没有most考点词，应该是NG2(有定位词，没有考点词)
