“烤鸭”必读：巧妙选择雅思阅读判断词

　　很多同学发现，在雅思阅读考试中很难找到答案的出处。这一直以来是中国学生的一大问题;还有部分同学发现，在找到答案出处后很难准确的判断出答案，尤其是在True/False/Not Given题目中。除了词汇的问题外，这往往与考生对于判断词的选择有很大关系。

　　第二宗罪 判断 judgment

　　判断词的选择

　　考生们在参加雅思考试时，往往会遇到无法确定考试中考点的问题。有些同学费尽心思在文中找到答案出处，仔细比较原文和题目间的关系，但最终发现依然选择错误，以下是一道经典真题：

　　以下是雅思考试的一道真题，反映出了雅思考试阅读部分对于学生判断的考察，

　　原文： Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.

　　题目：

　　The book Educating psyche is mainly concerned with

　　A. The power of suggestion in learning .

　　B. A particular technique for learning based on emotions

　　C. The effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious

　　D. Ways of learning which are not traditional

　　正确答案： D

　　题目分析：本题是雅思阅读考试中的典型题型，题目中的选项和原文分别由对应关系。其中最具有迷惑性的是C选项，选项中的内容The effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious 基本为原文原词，这会让很多同学与原文中的describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning.混淆，误以为这两个句子表达的是同样的意思。考生们仔细观察会发现，原文的意思是：情绪、想象力和无意识在学习中的影响。题目中的意思是：情绪对于想象力和无意识的影响。这两个句子在中文意思上差别很大，如果考生在考场中无法准确的翻译出句子的意思可以简单的比较两个句子的内容。题目中的句子是emotion on the imagination and the unconscious，而原文是effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious。原文的句子中emotion, imagination and the unconscious这三个词是并列的，而在题目中则不是。A选项里的The power of suggestion是原文内容，也具有较大的迷惑性，但是纵观全文会发现A选项中的in learning 在原文中是没有提到的，属于推断内容。B选项内容属于原文中完全没有提及，这样的选项属于难度较低的选项，针对的是基础较差的学生。D选项为正确选项，选项中的 not traditional对应原文中的radical new 这两个选项虽然使用的单词完全不一样，但是表达的意思却是相同的。

　　In general, it is plausible to suppose that we should prefer peace and quiet to noise. And yet most of us have had the experience of having to adjust to sleeping in the mountains or the countryside because it was initially &0#39;too quiet&0#39;, an experience that suggests that humans are capable of adapting to a wide range of noise levels.

　　The writer suggests that people may have difficulty sleeping in the mountains because

　　A. Humans do not prefer peace and quiet to noise

　　B. They may be exposed to short bursts of very strange sounds

　　C. Humans prefer to hear certain amount of noise while whey sleeps.

　　D. They may have adapted to a higher noise level in the city.

　　判断点的选择

　　原文：

　　Similarly, but at a lower level, more girls (13%) than boys (5%) said that rainforests provided human habitats.

　　Girls are more likely than boys to hold mistaken views about the rainforest ’destruction.

　　原文

　　Even the earliest of tribes had a system of numeration that, if not advanced, was sufficient for the tasks that they had to perform. Our ancestors had little use for actual numbers; instead their considerations would have been more of the kind Is this enough? rather than How many?

　　题目：

　　For the earliest tribes, the concept of sufficiency was more important than the concept of quantity.

　　正确答案： YES

　　题目分析：本题中的考查重点是比较，大家会发现重点的比较内容是在主句中。在大多数的句子中，如果出现了比较级，那么比较级一般是考试中题目的重点。本题中的比较的两个主体sufficiency 和 quantity，考生们在考察中一定要重点关注这两个词在原文中的替换关系。在原文中 sufficiency对应的单词是 enough而 quantity 对应的是原文中的 how many 这两个词在文中体现出来的完全不同的单词，但还是属于明显的同意替换词。当大家准确判断出考点为比较。并且能在原文中找到考点的同意替换词的时候，这道题目就迎刃而解的。
