劍橋雅思11test1section3初步講解

劍橋雅思是同學(xué)們備考雅思當(dāng)中非常重要的參考資料，本期新通雅思老師繼續(xù)為同學(xué)們講解劍雅11test1section3的題目。

21.The students in Akira Miyake's study were all majoring in

A. physics

B. psychology or physics

C. science, technology, engineering or mathematics

分析：

定位詞all majoring in，詢問學(xué)生專業(yè)

原文：LISA:Yeah. I got a little confused at first about which students the study was based on.

They weren't (出現(xiàn)否定，之后出現(xiàn)的信息被否定掉，不能作為正確答案。否定注意t基本不發(fā)音，要注意聽n音)actually majoring in physics - they were majoring in what's known as the STEM disciplines.

That's science, technology, engineering and ...

GREG:… and math.(C選項出現(xiàn)美國STEM專業(yè))

Yes, but they were all doing physics courses as part of their studies(學(xué)習(xí)物理，但是并不是物理專業(yè)).

LISA:That's correct.

答案：C

22.The aim of Miyake's study was to investigate

A. what kind of women choose to study physics.

B. a way of improving women's performance in physics.

C. whether fewer women than men study physics at college.

分析：

定位詞aim，investigate，要注意這兩個詞的同義替換

原文：

GREG:Yeah. But what the researchers wanted to(不定式可以做目的狀語) find out (investigate同義替換)was basically what they could do about the relatively low level of the women's results.

But in order to find a solution they needed to find out more about the nature of the problem.

what they could do對應(yīng)答案選項a way of improving.

答案;B

23.The female physics students were wrong to believe that

A. the teachers marked them in an unfair way.

B. the male students expected them to do badly.

C. their test results were lower than the male students'.

分析：

定位詞female，wrong，believe

原文：

But actually they were wrong ...(定位詞原詞重現(xiàn))

No one was making any assumptions about the female students at all.

LISA:Anyway, what Miyake's team did was quite simple - getting the students to do some writing before they went into the physics class.

no one was making any assumption沒有人在做任何假設(shè)對應(yīng)expected them to do badly

答案：B

24.Miyake's team asked the students to write about

A. what they enjoyed about studying physics.

B. the successful experiences of other people.

C. something that was important to them personally.

分析：

定位詞write about

原文：

GREG:Values-affirmation- they had to write(原詞重現(xiàn)) an essay focusing on things that were significant to them, not particularly to do with the subject they were studying, but more general things like music, or people who mattered to them

Significant和important同義替換

答案為：C

25.What was the aim of the writing exercise done by the subjects?

A. to reduce stress

B. to strengthen verbal ability

C. to encourage logical thinking

分析：

定位詞aim of writing

原文：

So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way.

GREG: And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance.

Aim和idea of doing the writing is that…都是做某事的目的，互相同義替換

relax them和reduce stress同義替換

答案：A

26.What surprised the researchers about the study?

A. how few students managed to get A grades

B. the positive impact it had on physics results for women

C. the difference between male and female performance

分析：

surprised常常和unexpected同義替換

原文：

LISA:Right. So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way.

GREG: And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance.

Yeah. But what the researchers in the study hadn't expected(surprised同義替換

出現(xiàn)) was that this one activity raised the women's physics grades from the C to the B range.

raise grade from C to B range, 對應(yīng)positive impact

答案B
