雅思聽力難點拆解四部曲之三 選擇題

雅思考試中選擇題并不是一個重點考題，但是選擇題確實一個必做不可的題目。

一、重要性
　　雅思考試中選擇題并不是一個重點考題，但是選擇題確實一個必做不可的題目。由于選擇題并不需要填寫單詞，因此對于那些苦于單詞拼寫的同學(xué)，選擇題就是他們的救命稻草了。

二、難點及應(yīng)對

１、閱讀速度
　　由于雅思考試需要邊聽邊做，因此在內(nèi)容開始之前將試卷通讀一遍是非常重要的，但是由于考試的時間是有限的(每一個section前只有30秒)，如果當(dāng)需要讀的信息比較多的時候可能沒有辦法讀完。如劍7 Test 2中的第31-35題：

Questions 31-35，Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.Left and Right Handedness in Sport．
　　
　　31 Anita first felt the Matthews article was of value when she realised
　　A how it would help her difficulties with left-handedness.
　　B the relevance of connections he made with music.
　　C the impressive size of his research project.

32 Anita feels that the findings on handedness will be of value in
　　A helping sportspeople identify their weaknesses.
　　B aiding sportspeople as they plan tactics for each game.
　　C developing suitable training programmes for sportspeople.

33 Anita feels that most sports coaches
　　A know nothing about the influence of handedness.
　　B focus on the wrong aspects of performance.
　　C underestimate what science has to offer sport.

34 German study showed there was greater 'mixed handedness' in musicians who
　　A started playing instruments in early youth.
　　B play a string instrument such as the violin.
　　C practise a great deal on their instrument.

35 Studies on ape behaviour show that
　　A apes which always use the same hand to get food are most successful.
　　B apes have the same proportion of left- and right-handers as humans.
　　C more apes are left-handed than right-handed.

這邊的5題一共有將近200個單詞，在短短的30秒鐘內(nèi)全部看完確實有非常大的難度。這時建議考生要采取“丟車保帥”的方式，也就是抓住中間的最重要的信息，而將其他的次要信息省略不看。對于單選題來說，題干極其重要，往往我們需要通過題干來定位到每一題，我們要記住，雅思考試中答案是按照順序讀出來的，也就是“順序原則”，所以選擇題的答案往往都在題干之后讀出來。因此在審題的時候?qū)⑺�有的題干全部過一遍就非常重要了。這也就是我們可以找尋到的第一個方法——略。

第31題的題干的意思是Anita開始覺得Matthews的文章非常重要，是當(dāng)她意識到……的時候。下面我們來看看這邊的文字答案。

Tapescripts:
　　My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left- or right-sided or whether a more balanced approach is more successful. I'm left-handed myself and I actually didn't see any relevance to my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to say would be of real interest. I think Matthews' findings will be beneficial, not so much in...

這邊作者先介紹了一下自己的情況，也就是"left-handed"，這里和選項A比較相近，但是此時并沒有讀出題干來，因此我們完全可以排除A這個答案。(根據(jù)我們上面提到的順序原則)接下來，作者提到了"Peter Matthews"這個人，并且提到了music，也就是和B很相近，此時他的態(tài)度是"almost put me off"，這個和題干中的"of value"矛盾，也就是這個也不是答案。此時我們已經(jīng)可以很順利的選到正確答案C了。——將錯誤的信息全部排除，剩下的就一定是正確的答案。當(dāng)然此題可以通過同義詞互換做出來，也就是這邊標注了答案的地方:"sheer volume"和C選項中的"impressive size"是類似的意思。但是很多同學(xué)會發(fā)現(xiàn)，這個詞比較難聽懂。也就無法很快的找到答案了。

２、干擾信息
　　往往選擇題給答案的時候，不會這么容易讓我們聽出錯誤的選項，也就是會將錯誤選項讀的非常像正確的。導(dǎo)致許多同學(xué)在聽力中出錯誤。下面我們看到上面題目中第35題的文字答案：

Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by 'fishing' ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness - though for them right- and left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies showed that apes consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.

這道題最大的難度不是聽出"fished out 30% more ants"是和A選項的"more successful"是同義詞互換，而是很多同學(xué)會將前面的"right- and left-handedness is about equal"誤認為就是B選項的"same proportion of left- and right-handers"，而導(dǎo)致選錯答案。也就是我們上面剛剛提到的需要排除錯誤選項即干擾信息。這就是我們所說的做選擇題的另外一個思路——剔。
　　總的來說，選擇題主要是由于審題時間不夠，建議各位考生，除了要盡力提高閱讀速度以外，找到重點信息是非常重要的，換句話說就是省略掉不需要細讀的信息——略，然后由于選項并沒有詳細的研究，因此在聽題的過程中聽到答案的時候不要過于快速的下筆選擇，而是應(yīng)該注意分辨出干擾信息，剔除掉錯誤的選項——剔，這樣正確的答案就離我們更加接近了。
