所有阅读选择题的技巧, 包括雅思托福SAT以及考研英语阅读解题技巧, 都可以分为两类, 一类是结合阅读原文和题目所衍生出来的技巧。 第二类则是从题目单独发展出来的技巧, 不需要看原文。 我们今天主要讲一下第二类,就是所谓的猜题技巧。
1. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAA cars and Zodiac cars?
[A] A kind of overlooked inequality. [B] A type of conspicuous bias.
[C] A type of personal prejudice. [D] A kind of brand discrimination.
如果我们不看原文, 我们能不能选出正确答案?答案是可以的。 很多同学不知道, 选择题有一个规律, 名为“外延最大原则”。 什么意思?外延最大的概念往往是正确答案。 假设有三个选项A:自来水, B:矿泉水, C:水, 那么显然, C是正确答案, 因为它是三个选项中外延最大的, 或者说水包含了自来水和矿泉水。
回到本题, A意为不公平, B为偏见, C也为偏见, D为歧视, 那个选项的外延最大?显然是A不公平, 因为不公平包含了偏见和歧视。
再看面一题, 哪个最像正确答案
2. According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true of Britain’s auxiliary regiments of the Roman army?
A: Membership in these regiments reached its highest point during the region of the emperor Hadrian.
B:Most of the units recruited in Britain were sent to Morocco and other stations outside Europe.
C: Soldiers served in the regiments for many years and after retirement generally stayed where they had been stationed.
D: Most of the regiments stationed on the frontier were new units transferred from a neighboring province.
分析:A选项有个highest , 最高级太绝对, B,D都含有一个词“Most”, 不好, 所以C最有可能是正确答案, 其实该题C就是正确答案。
3. The word dispersal in the passage is closest in meaning to
A:Development B:Growth
C: Distribution D:Protection
单词题在托福阅读里面有重要地位。 如果我们不认识dispersal, 我们应该猜哪个?对了, 就是猜C, 因为distribution 和dispersal 都是以dis开头, 该题答案为C。
4. A:unbiased B: positive
C:systematic D:thorough
这道题更猛, 连题干都没有! 但是聪明的你肯定一眼就能看出来, 正确答案就是A!
提醒一句, 这只是解题技巧,要想得高分的同学, 还应该致力于阅读水平的提高, 这样做到实力与技巧的有机统一, 就能做到“一览众山小”。
